Dominick John @dominickjohn.bsky.social · 19/05/2026Time is rare these days, but I snuck in a short and fun interview with 80 Level all about Project Shadowglass' pixerly style.

Dominick John @dominickjohn.bsky.social · 07/11/2025Added PBR surface features (roughness, AO, etc) to Shadowglass’ rendering 😍 Will probably tone it down so it doesn’t kill the retro vibes, but fun to see in action! 181

Dominick John @dominickjohn.bsky.social · 22/10/2025Project Shadowglass just passed 100K wishlists in its first 4 weeks on Steam. I don't even know what to say... (but I'll figure it out because you all deserve a proper thank you 💙😭) store.steampowered.com/app/3970690/... #indiegame 041
Dominick John @dominickjohn.bsky.social · 20/10/2025Last night the rendering system for Shadowglass got a ~150fps(!!!) performance gain at no cost, and all because @godotengine.org lets us work with its source code 😭 060
Dominick John @dominickjohn.bsky.social · 07/10/2025THANK YOU all for 50k(!?!?) Steam wishlists 💙💙💙. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a metric ton of pixels to push for you 😍 000

Dominick John @dominickjohn.bsky.social · 09/03/20252199 jam entries, and my little story game “omw home” ranked 12th overall?? 😱 Ratings were from fellow jammers only, so I’m shocked and honored to be on that first page of incredible games!! ❤️ #indiegamdev #gamejam itch.io/jam/brackeys...itch.ioTop ranked games in the Brackeys Game Jam 2025.1 031
Dominick John @dominickjohn.bsky.social · 01/03/2025As a game dev, I know I should be all things PC... but honestly consoles have the strengths of being so much more simple to use, which means less in the way of you and the game, and having a standardized spec sheet devs can directly optimize for everyone. Also couches, man. #indiegamedev 001
Dominick John @dominickjohn.bsky.social · 26/02/2025Whew, made a game from scratch in 4 days! The jam's theme was "Nothing can go wrong". My experiment was having environmental interactions having an effect on narrative. It's browser (and on a phone) playable if you care to check it out 😊 dominickjohn.itch.io/omw-home #indiegamedev #indiegamesdominickjohn.itch.ioomw home. by Dominick JohnCan you prevent heartbreak by being absolutely perfect? 093

Dominick John @dominickjohn.bsky.social · 20/02/2025Later start than I’d like for Brackeys Game jam, but got a full idea and basic controls down! Making it mostly a mouse / touch controlled game as that’s how i assume most people will be playing these in browser or on a device. 000

Dominick John @dominickjohn.bsky.social · 10/02/2025Game devs- Which game wasn't just a game for you, but the spark that made you want to create your own? Mine was Thief 1. That DROMED editor was my gateway into #gamedev #indiegamedev 060

Dominick John @dominickjohn.bsky.social · 30/01/2025So apparently Ollama makes it super easy for game engines to connect to any local LLM over localhost. Hoping to leverage this for a fun creative second brain app :D 010
Dominick John @dominickjohn.bsky.social · 28/01/2025The fact that Godot is a pretty viable option for cross platform app building makes it all the more goated 😍 010
