Up until recently, my scene transitions were coordinates baked into the code. FINALLY I have an in-game editor. Cannot stress enough how important it is to make your own tools, even if no one ever sees or uses them. Treat yourself. #gamedev #indiedev #gamedesign

Moderation is important. I didn't want to launch anything without it, and after some serious work we've got a functioning admin dashboard. Complete with analytics, ban, mute, warning, audit logs, player lists, you name it, all linked into the game. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart #liveops

We've got censorship baby. Forever making the place safe for young ones. I have plans for an age verification system though, so keep an eye out. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

I'm avoiding a full economy (though it is planned) but I went ahead with arcade tickets. They scale with performance in the game and can be used to redeem fun prizes! Right now it's just hats.. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart

A 1v1 Shooter! 'Zap' is in the game, a 1v1 PvP game, one hit one kill, first to 3 wins. Keep up your energy and hide in the shadows. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart

In trying to find an interesting way to handle matchmaking, I came up with this. A little mutual handshake to trigger the game. Not super complex, but kinda cute. Needs some work still. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart

So we've got a second properly fleshed out arcade game, Smashteroids! Collide head on with meteors to break them up, clear the field as quick as you can, every second counts. #pixelart #arcade #gamedev #indiedev #webdev

Digging through some old files and uncovered this. I was doing a game jam with the prompt 'no combat' and tried making a timed defence thing where you play as a doorman. It didn't really land but good pixel practice! #pixelart #gamedev

Putting together a like, front page website for the project. Needed some hero art and whipped this together. Pretty happy and it looks great on the site! (site is secret for now) #pixelart #gamedev #indiegame

New arcade with some new fun stuff, working on some minigames (and throwing around how I'll do pool/snooker and air hockey). I'd like to do sort of parodies of popular arcade/mobile games, open to suggestions! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #webdev #minigames

Believe it or not I am still alive. Life gets in the way but the project forever moves forward. Finally got multi-scene water shader support, so we can properly start work on the docks! #indiedev #gamedev #webgame #pixelart

After some serious tinkering, I've got my water shader to a point I'm happy with. Just need to decorate underwater and we're set! #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #pixelart

Delving into shader code. My God, what a headache. Got a half-decent water shader, long way to go to making it look nice though. #indiedev #gamedev

3 new interiors! All unfinished, but the base is there. Process is becoming second nature so expanding should be swift! Planning to add a few more interactable things and then I can open it up for user testing! #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #pixelart

Town hall interior is making its debut in-game. Still need to do the sortable layers, internal doors/rooms, and better lighting (since character contrast is an obvious issue). #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart

In-game flappy-clone arcade game is coming together. Lots of cosmetic tweaks I want to add to spice up the environment, and UX/UI improvements, but progress nonetheless! #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #pixelart

First minigame added. A 'flappy-like' (art is temporary). Few other bits and pieces done too, persistent hats across scenes, usernames, and some code adjustments to host through Vercel. Nearly ready for Beta... #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #pixelart

Tinkering with Vercel and Railway to get an open alpha build of my social game up and running. Why did no one tell me how easy this was?? I love self hosting but convenience is a tough thing to shy away from

PC's packed while moving so revisiting some old projects on my MacBook. Built this little 'engine' in C# a while back. Doesn't look like much but for a first custom engine, a basis for a tile map is a pretty big deal to me.

Not had much glamourous stuff to show lately, but I've been tinkering with game objects, cycling window lights, interactive doors, and the FIRST INTERIOR!! Got lots of ideas for this bad boy. #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart

Ignoring the demo UI, we now have a functioning in-game art tool! It submits the image to the server for now, but I plan to build ways to show it all off in-game. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Lazy art update. Aseprite's Jumble tool is amazing, I'll add in dynamic grass on top of this though. Camera with deadzone is done though, might add in some easing. It's a lobby now, just need to add in stuff to do.. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #webdev

New environment, accurate collision mechanics, sorting layers, and of course... more hats!! Getting very close to an open alpha #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

As expected I was fired. Though when I asked to record the audio of the meeting I was explicitly told to turn off my phone, recordings weren’t allowed. That feels dodge..

According to HR it’s “Friendly February”. I’m more than likely being let go tomorrow, even though the friendly February calendar says “do an act of kindness to make life easier for something”. Do they know????

The correct answer to this is "Yes, and everyone else too."

Should artists get a basic income like they do in Ireland?
Could the government pay salaries to musicians and artists - no strings attached like they do in Ireland?
