Good thing about working on the trailer is that it forces me to update long overdue rivers! #gamedev #indiedev #strategygame

The year is 1700. War is on the horizon. A sneak peek at the upcoming Smoke and Steel gameplay trailer! I'm developing this turn-based strategy game solo, combining nation management with tactical battles across early 18th-century Europe. #gamedev #indiedev

The first proper look at (small) battles in Smoke and Steel! 10 minutes of raw turn-based gameplay, commanding France against Prussia. Still a work in progress, of course! www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDug... #gamedev #indiedev #wargaming

As more regions are added to the grand campaign, I think I'll need to redesign the borders to make them clearer 👀 #gamedev #indiedev

What do y'all think about using cards to represent actions, instead of say, ability buttons? I've heard from a fellow gamedev friend that Steam players are generally against it? #gaming #gamedev #indiedev

Updated looks on the first scenario! Does this work, or is the screen to cluttered with information? #gamedev #indiedev #strategygames

Priorities atm: Finish up the two first historical scenarios, Humlebæk (July 1700) and Narva (November 1700), then continue work on the grand campaign.

What do you think, too many regions? This is just southern Sweden, all of Sweden (at the time!) amounts up to 30 or so regions. Afraid it will be too much to handle for the player. #gamedev #indiedev #wargamiNG

This is Charles XII. He became King of Sweden at just 15 years old. Three years later, Sweden was invaded by a coalition of its neighbors.

Unpopular #GameDev opinion that you actually believe? 🤔 I'll go first: Most games don't need procedural generation, in fact it can make the game seem "cheap" if it's too big a part of the whole effort. Your turn #IndieDev

Feeling bad about the #GameDev project you never finished? Don't! ❌ What I wrote about #running applies here too. More likely that not, you learned a lot working on it 💡 Look at what you gained and focus on what it taught you, not what it didn't become.

Develop01c @develop01c.bsky.social · 19/05/2025

Feels great to be back #running! First two 10Ks in more than 6 months last week. A great thing I realized these past years is to feel OK about breaks. You'll have one, sooner or later. I'm still a much better runner now, than if I had never ran to being with. Realize the positive things ☀️🏃‍♂️

Second easiest #GameDev optimization? Save values that you need again later. More often than not, there is an abundance in memory, not CPU time. Cache those calculations! #IndieDev

Develop01c @develop01c.bsky.social · 13/05/2025

Easiest #GameDev optimization? Simply dont abuse Update(). Do question when code actually need to run and reduce frequency. #IndieDev

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.

In #gamedev, code is cheap and design is expensive. Among #indiedev, I /guess/ many of us often spend too much time on the first, forgetting about the experience. Or am I just projecting?
