Typically on brand missing #screenshotsaturday, but I've got an update to share on #crimesofthekart Circling camera target lock system! Can you circle counter-clockwise as well? No of course not. Why would you need that? #indiedev #godot #gamedev #gokart

It's been a while since I shared any trees. I don't have good current pics of everyone else yet, but this li'l fella is having a good season! #JadeBonsai #houseplants #bonsai

I've really been enjoying @lukewestaway.bsky.social 's Dark Souls 2 series. This opening specifically gave me a good guffaw.

The player character from streamer NormalAdultLuke's video play through of Dark Souls 2. This is Ray Sunshine, and he is saying "It's a beautiful day outside and I'm not falling for it."

These little dorks are way too happy for being on a shelf in the garage in the middle of winter. #JadeBonsai #jade ##houseplants

4 small jade plants on a heating mat. 1 is a "gollum" variegation. There is a bright light above them.

This guy still lives on my desk. I dug him up in a sandbox on a playground in Muak Lek, Thailand in what must have been probably 1993 or 4. It took me years to even discover what he was from.

Been a few weeks since the haircut and we've got some very nice new growth.

Good progress on a different project today! My oldest dwarf jade got an 80's haircut, and I've started a forest of cuttings. #jade #bonsai ##JadeBonsai

Happy #screenshotsaturday everyone! I've been working on the spin attack for a while now and I think it's finally where it needs to be as far as gamefeel. Still rough around the edges, but I haven't had this much fun with testing in a long time! #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine #mariokart #gokart

Welcome to a very rough draft of the into level to Crimes of the Kart! If only the Crazy Taxi pointer arrow was still patented by #SEGA we could be doing some real crimes here. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #gokart

My li'l maple guy is finally getting his own pot next season! There are 3 other sprouts out of frame who aren't quite as healthy yet. I'm not sure what this other plant is, but it seems pretty happy since I transplanted it while weeding a couple months ago. #houseplants #gardening #bonsai

A 2-year old maple tree with 6 leaves on the end of a single trunk.

Let's be honest: I did not improve on the original. (Still pretty happy with my interpretation though)

It's messy but it exists! Would it be cool if you could load your own images into the game (yes I know, all dicks all the time) to use as your tag? Tag spots will be replacing the waypoint markers you've seen in videos so far. #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine #gokarts #screenshotsaturday

What are we writing? Hopefully I can show you by next #screenshotsaturday. For now though, I'm kind of loving the cartoon bubblegum look of the placeholder particles. #godotengine #b3d #gamedev #indiedev #graffiti #gokart #CrimesOfTheKart

As my favorite art teacher in college said "It will look bad until it doesn't". I can't wait to have something cool to show again. It gets frustrating when my progress slows down, but my to-do list still says I'm getting things done! #gamedev #indiedev #itswednesdaymydudes #godotengine

A facetious take on the "Just make it exist. You can make it good later." meme format. The first panel features the first screenshots of Crimes of the Kart, and the second panel features a large black rectangle with the words "SECOND PANEL". The word "second" is in comic sans font, and the word "panel" is in papyrus font.

I am dragging myself kicking and screaming into the process of building Crimes of the Kart's textbox system. Also doing some hashtag experiments. Happy Thursday everyone! #gamedev #indiedev #gokarts #lowpoly #gokart #godotengine #b3d

A low-poly 3d scene featuring a gokart driven by an orange cat. There is a text-box on screen. This is the first time a dialog box has appeared in development screenshots. The dialog box reads: "Heep deep beep beep! I am not a jeep!"

I went for a walk today, and I've never seen this level of respect as a pedestrian from cars before. I wonder what made the difference today. Anyway, here's #whatagamedevlookslike
