Deyan Garvanski @dgarvanski.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The good thing about getting into video game collecting but focusing on old PC games is that most of them cost, like, 5 bucks and the hardware you need for them is around 50. 000
Deyan Garvanski @dgarvanski.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I'm so tired of Reddit #indiedev circles. It's all maximizing marketing, counting wishlists, bringing the most of your TikTok views. I want like 10 people to say "I really loved that game." That's all. 342

Reposted by Deyan GarvanskiWishlist VOID PROFIT on Steam @corvidfood.com · 20/09/2026Hard at work on the next VOID PROFIT update. Mostly gameplay balancing and systems improvements. However, needed to get to some visual updates for my own sanity. Here's a little before and after of the cockpit view. Made it deeper, more oppressive and added more details. #spacesim #indiedev #gamedev 0115
Reposted by Deyan GarvanskiWishlist VOID PROFIT on Steam @corvidfood.com · 21/08/2026Sorry for the long silence. I've been deep into playtest feedback and a new (slight) direction change. I posted a new update about VOID PROFIT on Steam. I'm working on some mechanics that will, hopefully, hook some people. #gamedev #spacesim #indiedev store.steampowered.com/news/app/468...store.steampowered.comVOID PROFIT - Playtest ending this weekend. Findings and a new Roadmap. - Steam NewsHello, There's been some silence surrounding the game as I've been focusing on fixing playtest issues and clearing up the demo before its release. Here's a quick update on what's happening. 1. The end... 093
Deyan Garvanski @dgarvanski.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I have over 3000 games. But I will not buy a Ubisoft game, I will not buy a Blizzard game. Right now I cannot buy a Microsoft game. And I was banking on indies but a lot of them have the AI disclosure. I can't play new games. Bought Capitalism Lab recently. Didn't realize that it's a lot of AI now. 100
Reposted by Deyan GarvanskiZalure @thewokemobiscoming.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Still, to this day, people do not *actually* see games as art. There is no appreciation for the unreal, the theatrical, the smoke and mirrors. To most people who play games but are not *into* games, they are a linear art form. New is better because it's *more*. 0925
Deyan Garvanski @dgarvanski.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Had to eat dinosaur chicken nuggets for lunch. Was going really fast through the store yesterday, saw them, thought they were cute and bought them for my kid. Today I saw them in the freezer and thought "There's no way I'm making this absolute shit for my kid." They were awful, actually. Hardly food 000
Deyan Garvanski @dgarvanski.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Being in web dev sucks now. There was this really nice event called Beer.js near me. It's draft beers, web dev talks and a generally cool way to interact with people. They've changed it now. All the talks are about AI and they're advertising is with sending your AI agents to it instead. 030
Deyan Garvanski @dgarvanski.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Why have sports game player career modes become such power fantasies? Why is my created player averaging 12 ppg in his rookie NHL season? Why did my NBA 2K player score 48 points in his first NBA game? What's up with that? Who finds this fun? It's nothing like the actual sport you supposedly like. 100
Deyan Garvanski @dgarvanski.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Still have no idea how I beat Max Payne 2 when I was 13. Had a weekend of only turning on my internet-disconnected Windows XP PC and that game fucking destroyed me. Must be because I didn't really understand the story so I wasn't fully depressed and bothered when I got into a level. 000
Deyan Garvanski @dgarvanski.bsky.social · 06/07/2026I genuinely think that Microsoft's acquisition of Activision will be remembered as the biggest fumble in video game history. 010
Deyan Garvanski @dgarvanski.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Me when I like a @corvidfood.com #gamedev post. 061
Deyan Garvanski @dgarvanski.bsky.social · 29/06/2026I think I got added to a bot list on Twitter somewhere. Suddenly got a bunch of followers with new accounts, most of which are "Blockchain engineers" or (surprised they still exist) NFT peddlers. 100
Deyan Garvanski @dgarvanski.bsky.social · 26/06/2026As promised, my previously-abandoned incremental game prototype is now on Itch. Download, give feedback. I'd appreciate it. Completely free. Completely a proof of concept. corvid-food.itch.io/whatever-lea... #gamedev #incrementalgame #sportsgame #indiedev #indiegamecorvid-food.itch.ioWhatever League '98 [PROTOTYPE] by Corvid FoodAn incremental game where you create increasingly more ridiculous sports 173
Deyan Garvanski @dgarvanski.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Trying to find normal Bulgarian dubs of the Spider-Man movies for my kid. It got me thinking about No Way Home. The premise makes sense for Spider-Man but it makes no fucking sense for the MCU. Every character in that universe has their face out, identity completely exposed. They kill people. 100
Deyan Garvanski @dgarvanski.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Walkable cities are so important for public health. I've lost 6kg in two weeks. Got fat really fast (my body tends to go through these fast changes). Been eating better and walking a lot in the last two weeks. I'm talking weird levels like 30000 steps per day. No gym, just walking everywhere. 110
Deyan Garvanski @dgarvanski.bsky.social · 23/06/2026Made a REALLY specific thing in my incremental game. But that is the point of it. #gamedev #indiegame #incrementalgame #indie #indiedev 1133
Deyan Garvanski @dgarvanski.bsky.social · 20/06/2026The "Hydration Break" thing in the World Cup is so uniquely American. Nevermind that Americans are for some reason OBSESSED with "hydration" but they also figured out a way to put timeouts in a game with no timeouts because god forbid you watch something for 45 minutes with no big ad breaks. 000
Deyan Garvanski @dgarvanski.bsky.social · 19/06/2026About that old incremental game I pulled from my SSD - progression is nonsensical, visuals fight each other constantly. Did rile that up a bit and made an actual Start Screen for it. Will release it as is on Itch next week. Here's the start screen I cobbled together, by the way. #gamedev #indiedev 182
Deyan Garvanski @dgarvanski.bsky.social · 17/06/2026TikTok is absolute bullshit. Uploaded the VOID PROFIT trailer on there (0 views). They flash a message at me saying "Give us €1.89 for a promotion and you can get 2500 views." Of course, I do that, it's 2 bucks. Turns out that I can't promote THAT video but they gave me my money back in "credits." 100
Deyan Garvanski @dgarvanski.bsky.social · 17/06/2026By the way, I looked through the code, built the game again. It's less of an incremental game and more like a really silly version of Doodle God. Which might be right, I don't know. 000
Deyan Garvanski @dgarvanski.bsky.social · 17/06/2026Pulling 7 projects from my external SSD onto my PC right now. Haven't touched these things in years, probably (except for one or two). Will clean up the ones that aren't absolute shit and upload some stuff to itch.io soon. Just for testing the waters if nothing else.(And add actual version control) 110

Deyan Garvanski @dgarvanski.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Going on a seaside holiday again in a week. I know I'm going to have to deal with jellyfish, the one animal I don't understand. Nobody eats jellyfish, they're just assholes. The seagulls have been eating kebabs and pepperoni pizzas from the trash cans for years now. Chill with the stinging. 000
Deyan Garvanski @dgarvanski.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Going on a diet has been surprisingly tasty. I've had two weeks where I'm eating a small amount of rice noodles with chicken for lunch. Good thing is, those two products, specifically, can be completely different meals depending on the spices you put on them. 000
Deyan Garvanski @dgarvanski.bsky.social · 08/06/2026I'm so enthralled with the way AI companies try to market things. Sam Altman is all "It can do your chores. It can educate your kids. It can do everything." while the Anthropic guys are like "We are scared of what we've created. We do not know how it works but we're scared." and it's all not true. 100
Deyan Garvanski @dgarvanski.bsky.social · 07/06/2026I'm interested in how we've moved away from "vibe coding" into "AI assisted programming." There's always a term for "I don't know shit." 000
Deyan Garvanski @dgarvanski.bsky.social · 04/06/2026I hate when people go "Wow! This is like that sci-fi book I read once!" No. Absolutely not. These books didn't just pop out of people's imagination. They have themes, which we did nothing about. Like, for example, the Strugatsky brothers' "Hard to be a God" is not a "What if..." 100

Deyan Garvanski @dgarvanski.bsky.social · 28/05/2026There is a positive to AI. It's getting rid of the stupid "coding task" step of job interviews. Like, yeah, I've been a developer for 10+ years and you need to check if I can work with a RESTful API. Fuck off, really. 000

Deyan Garvanski @dgarvanski.bsky.social · 07/05/2026I've said many things about this game because I love it. It has the best first start experience.

Wanted to make sure someone won't accuse me of using AI and I ran it through a checker. Came out at 88% AI. You know why? It flagged [img] and [b] tags as AI. 100
