I built another resource editor for my game, this time for editing and previewing tutorial text Because doing it all via inspector and then previewing in game, even with console commands to get to the right place, is way too time consuming #gamedev #godot #indiegame

My Plinko chip has gone rogue again – and it is the most panic-inducing yet

it's the plinko board from The Price is Right. Bob Barker is looking at it and a contestant is at the top of the board about to drop a chip. One of the 0 spaces at the bottom of the board has been replaced with text that reads "kill all humans"

gamers try not to be entitled in the face of industry wide hardship challenge (failed)

Screenshot of youtube comments from my last short that is complaining about The Layoffs

commenter: Did you not see the last halo that came out was the worst out of all halos.
me: oh wow I guess I'm glad everyone is fire, I'm a conservative now, you've changed me
commenter: what!?! Never said any of that. Their job field is based off of performance. They know what going into that profession.
me: did you not see all the people getting laid off immediately upon shipping hit games? Performance is literally zero protection

hi everyone I made cute headshots for Bear instead of working on getting my demo ready

a little brown bear wearing a pastel rainbow party hat in front of a mottled blue background, sort of like they are taking photos for their first week of school

character is from my game, Bear Defence Situation

It's a really unusual genre mashup that I think is turning out to be pretty fun, but mostly there is a cute bear #gamedev #indiegame #godot

skeletons are the one thing that unites us all, which is why I let the skeletons in my game express themselves by wearing jorts

Hello fellow indie devs if you ever feel like a gross sell out just for marketing your game you should know they sell NIN hoodies at the grocery store now

Four mannequins are on display at the clothing section of a Superstore in Canada. All four of them are dressed like 30 or 40 year old men and one of them is wearing a black Nine Inch Nails hoodie, which is a thing you can get at the grocery store now

*cries in HBoxContainer.CenterContainer.MarginContainer.HBoxContainer.MarginContainer* most of this mess is a button lol

Screenshot of some of my ui in my Godot project. So many nested containers. Often just for centering or padding something. Most of this mess is a button.

my game isn't stupid enough yet so I'm making a dj booth for this lil guy: twitch.tv/earend #gamedev #indiegame #godot

a little brown bear is standing up at a shop desk with a red and white awning. They are wearing a party hat. They have a key and a juicebox for sale. They appear to be inside a cave with green vines running down the wall behind them.

Benched 275x7 today and didn't hit myself in the face with any barbells. Hardest part was taking a picture without making a stupid face

So excited to share this preview of an upcoming feature on #twitch! Can't wait to join you all in giving everything we have to Jeff <3. Let's go gamers!

A twisted mockup of the new (proposed) boss battle feature from twitch. It shows three different levels of boss fight, with the first level being achieved by emptying your bank account, the second by maxing out your credit card, and the third by maxing out your mom's credit card.

The levels are called boss blorbos and the final level will give you a temporary emote!

Smashed my workout but also smashed myself in the forehead with a 90lbs barbell while doing skullcrushers (Picture does not indicate damage, I was already funny looking)

A picture of me, and old ginger man with a full beard and shoulder length hair, sitting on a bench in his garage gym. He is looking slightly concerned about having just scraped a barbell across his forehead

I added a hold-to-activate feature for my buttons, for important/destructive actions that you really don't want to do on accident. Of course the first thing I used it for is literal destruction! wishlist here: store.steampowered.com/app/3778320/ #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot #gaming

I hate how long it took me to check if this account was AI. It definitely is. They post replies just like this in batches just a few seconds apart each :(

A post from gamebrief.bsky.social. It reads, "objects that refuse to delete themselves is a classic. is it a reference issue keeping them alive or something holding the object in a collection you forgot about?"

I'm finally letting people try my game! Steam keys coming as soon as I figure out how to search posts for the last time I asked if you want a test key. It's a tower defence/deckbuilder/roguelite. You can pet the bear. Made in #godot, with #noai store.steampowered.com/app/3778320/ #indiegamedev

If these are the options, is the decision really any harder?

The two buttons meme. The first button says "Well edited and review ai code," the second button says "Habitable earth"

Felt nice to make some missing icons for my tower defence/card game today instead of being stuck doing ui for a change! store.steampowered.com/app/3778320/... #blender #godot #gamedev #indiedev

Icon for "Spare Battery." It looks like a 9-volt battery with a glowing green charge meter and a glowing icon of a bear head in a circle, made in Blender

Description for Spare Battery:

Provides shots to towers that are out of ammo (50 shots remaining)

Icon for "Gambler's Fallacy." It's two d6s on a casino green background. Made in Blender

Description for Gambler's Fallacy:

Adds 10% luck to towers and 2 enemies to wave per hand played.
