WIP 3 day gamejam game with #godotengine #madewithgodot My first actual 3D (well more like 2.5D) game in a long time. First time 3D modeling in a bit and using Plasticity for that, great CAD software if you aren't aware of it! #indiegamedev #sologamedev #godot

Not so much a gamedev post but seeing as SideFX are running Mardini 2026, I thought I'd join in the fun, super rusty but nice to be back! #Mardini #HoudiniFX #3DArt #CGArt #VFX #DigitalArt #MadeWithHoudini

This was where I ended on last night's progress on Lane Protocol. Continuing trying to make the game more readable and saturating the player colors more. Game made with @phaser.io, genuinely think more people should give it a try! #pixelart #sologamedev #indiegamedev #rts #autobattler

Continuing exploring different graphical vibes for Lane Protocol, today after finishing some work on buildings I started experimenting with background tilesets! Unit colors will likely need reworking. Game made with @phaser.io #pixelart #sologamedev #indiegamedev #rts #autobattler

Last few days been experimenting with a new look for Lane Protocol.Been tough to throw away the work I made with Spine etc, but I feel this path is much more scalable and easy to give personality to! Game made with @phaser.io #pixelart #sologamedev #indiegamedev #rts #autobattler

I got an old abandoned WIP project I had for the #playdate @play.date out of the bin and am tinkering around with it again... finally got it to run way better on device and thinking I might be able to release it in not too distant future. #indiegamedev #pixelart #1bit

I started experimenting with @esotericsoftware.com #spine #spine2d for my 2D #autobattler #rts game made with @phaser.io . So far a single unit test rig, got it working in game and reasonably performant with high unit counts (250 supply cap, unlikely to have this many cheap units).

Continuation of my current WIP #indiegamedev #sologamedev PVE and PVP focused casual #RTS #towerdefense game using @phaser.io Over the last couple of days I ran my first private playtests, focused on playing as client to try make netcode acceptable. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpHW...

My most fun and rewarding #sologamedev #indiegamedev project so far, as an RTS, autobattler and tower defense fan working on this has made me so happy. @phaser.io v4 has been an absolute blast to work with on this. #rtsgames #strategygames #rts

Super proud of my @bezi.com #gamejam submission for the battle for GDC jam. While I didn't compete for one of the passes, I put my previous experience with it to the test, and ended up with a result I never imagined possible. Game is here: fatalexit.itch.io/typewriter-c... #indiegamedev #gamedev

ngl I really like making stuff in blender. I think I wanna get back into the art side of game dev! If wunder is a success the next project is gonna be the little godot jrpg, getting lost in that for 6 months sounds like a dream!

Some boring stuff work in my #godot #godotengine 4.6 platformer, UI work, persistent level seeds, a pause menu, a main menu/title screen and tons of bugfixes. #pixelart #indiegamedev #sologamedev

The floor is now most definitely lava in my lil #godot #godotengine 4.6 platformer game. Not balanced at all but the game finally has some kind of antagonist. #sologamedev #indiegamedev #pixelart

My dumb lil #godot #godotengine 4.6 platformer project now has a dash (inspired by celeste) and movement feels so much more satisfying now and the proc gen can now be less forgiving/easy. #sologamedev #indiegamedev #pixelart

Worked more on this dumb little platformer that IDK if there's much point other than being relaxing. If you didn't read the blog post I posted recently I ported it from Bevy to #godot #godotengine 4.6 and did a bunch more work like controller support and audio. #sologamedev #indiegamedev #pixelart

I wrote a blog post on #itchio about my recent miserable process of trying to find the right #indiegamedev #sologamedev tool. It discusses why I decided to stop using Bevy and how just about every tool has a fatal flaw of some kind that sinks it for my production work: itch.io/blog/1322772...

Decided to spend today goofing around with #bevy #bevyengine for most of the day so far. A good few hours into experimenting here and enjoying it. Feels nice to be a total beginner at a technology but not the whole gamedev craft which I have lots of experience in. #indiegamedev #rust #sologamedev

Properly tinkering with #picotron for the first time, it's way less intimidating compared to when I first tried, or maybe I have just gotten less scared. 🎧🎶 #indiedev #pixelart #sologamedev
