I have identified an issue, where my "GameManager" is more akin to a "BattleManager" My GameManager has all of the code for advancing my battle-states. That code should all me split out into its own thing, so I can have a single GameManager instance throughout all of my scenes.

Creating a new scene for Rewards for completing levels Turns out, using Singletons might have been the wrong thing to do (Everything is on fire) Back down the refactor hole I guess! #gamedev #indiedev #programming

Why did I not have the ability to inspect whats left in the deck? Seems kind of important. #gamedev #indiedev #programming

Slowly Starting to get the theme together... So far its been a bit hodge-podge, where I added things as I needed them, but it wasn't super cohesive Today, I replaced the normal ball with a potion Might lean into Alchemy, does that seem too safe? #gamedev #indiedev #programming

Shifting some stuff around due to some idiot (me) writing code in ways that were stupid Damage refactors seems to be done now, I also added a little pause on the final enemy dying, which I really like kinda dig (ft. Overpowered Ball) #gamedev #indiedev #programming #gamedesign

Reworking another mechanic, It might be better if damage is dealt during a balls run, rather than after I've also removed base damage from balls completely and created the "Impact" rune to mimic the original damage style Means I can have balls that deal no damage at all! #gamedev #indiedev

That's definitely close to what I want, but not quite there yet Just got to draw them into a temporary group to choose what you want to keep It's now 1:45am, I should go sleep! (its a god damn work night) #gamedev #indiedev #programming #gamedesign

Added a little bit of an offset to the cards before opening them Better or Worse? #gamedev #indiedev #programming #unity3d

Emdood ★ @emdoodev.bsky.social · 31/03/2026
Concepting card packs Is it more fun to have to click the cards individually or just to open everything up at once? I love fiddling with little wobbles and rotations #gamedev #programming #unity3d #indiedev

I always worry that my games gifs/vids have the same issue, I really need to work on new backgrounds/characters All my previews generally look the same, but atleast I still write separate posts for everything

Pretty minor update-thingamajig I added a little temp UI to show what runes are on cards I think with the new UI element, I should probably start having a look at shifting some stuff around, its getting pretty crowded and I dont even have an Enemy UI in right now #gamedev #indiedev #gamedesign

Rune system is go! Runes you play add effects into slots of your balls, these runes last for a single shot, the battle, or permanent for the whole run Got a lot of Rune ideas ready to code Also, chuckling at my old destroy card effect #gamedev #programming #gamedesign #indiedev

I deal with this all the time. I love it and I hate it. I love talking to people about what im working on, but when they get going and drop "you should totally add _____", I immediately want to add it. I'm also working on an incredibly modular system, so its very easy to just add things on a whim

How fun is save data management! Systems mostly in place, a few more things and it should be good to leave for a bit Now to just inscribe said runes through gameplay... #gamedev #programming #unity3d #indiedev

I was suddenly struck with inspiration, pulling out a project I havent touched in coming up on 10 months or so. I also seem to be coming down with a cold at the same time. How good!

If I had a kid, I don't think I'd be able to leave my kid alone. I'd be out there shoving my kid in other peoples faces being like "Hey look at this thing I helped make" It's a bit sad that a lot of people (myself included) didn't grow up with overtly active dads in parental duties.

Emdood ★ @emdoodev.bsky.social · 19/03/2026
Eugh! I think after reading through my most recently changes (which were a tonne of refactors), I am sort of up to speed with what I was doing Issue is, I think old me is stupid and needs his knuckles rapped Time to Refactor the refactor #gamedev #programming #gamedesign

I recently moved house, this last year has been very hectic and I haven't had too much time for #gamedev I currently have my Pachinkomancer open and I'm having a dabble at getting back up to speed Good thing I was working with a Trello board, should be easy to pick back up where I left off...

Thankfully the surgery has been done. I am quite a few dollars lighter now, but now its just the long road to recovery for Pudding (poor thing is probably very cold) Lots of Crate time ahead Maybe now I can stop worrying so much Send her your love! #corgi #dog #pets #injury #cute #puppy

Emdood ★ @emdoodev.bsky.social · 09/04/2025
It's been a while for an update, but Pudding finally got her CT scan today, showed she has an abnormal bone growth on her shoulder joint Guess I'm in for some more spending for surgery, yeesh, wish I had pet insurance, but everything is too expensive 🍮 #corgi #dog #gamedev #indiedev

Work has been insanely hectic for the last few weeks, things still moving, just at a snails pace at the moment due to trying to stave off burnout Being a software engineer in my off AND on hours is very tiring, haha #indiedev #gamedev #programming #unity3d

I am very conscious of the fact I haven't posted recently, have sunk further into MH than I thought, that alongside work being pretty hectic and my dumbass getting bronchitis, things have been very wonky the last 2 weeks. Pretty hectic work week ahead too, I'll be back soon 🍮 #gamedev #indiedev

Emdood ★ @emdoodev.bsky.social · 17/03/2025
I actually opened up my project last night! But yes, I may have sunk into some off dev time, hahah. Works also been pretty hectic (I work in coding too, so lots of coding still, just not gamedev)

I'm loving it too, I waste a lot of time playing it when I should be coding, haha

Abilities are working again (obviously shouldn't have the "Ability Activated" notification but the logic is working) One or two more cards to move over and a little shift for modifier cards, then I can move onto more fun stuff! #gamedev #indiedev #programming #unity3d #roguelike #deckbuilder

This ability change has ballooned out! It IS needed, so I just need to keep trucking on, but this change which was originally just updating abilities has kinda spread to everything, integral system and all... Keep up the progress, Kings (And Queens) 🍮👑 #gamedev #indiedev #programming #gamedesign
