Starting off Spooptober with some cheese in "How to Mine for Cheese" made by @fias-dev.bsky.social Depending on how long this game is, I might look at some demos after! Got some good demos lined up. www.twitch.tv/lemonfluff

Forgot to add Alt Text: The player drives a green tank shooting yellow bullets which hit black capsule shaped enemies. The enemies explodes into pieces on hit. The player then drives the tank into a group of enemies pushing them aside. A couple enemies are shot while others are rammed and explode.

Fias @fias-dev.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

The enemies now react to getting shot by exploding! I also managed to get a version of tank-enemy collision working, so naturally ramming damage is now a thing! #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #godot

These are the notebooks I've been filling with different game dev ideas and sketches, some going all the way back to 2018. Just saying so whenever you see me post about a new random game I'm working on... know it's probably coming from one of these 🙂

It makes me so happy to see this stack! I can't recommend enough that people keep game dev diaries. Thinking on paper is such a good way to slow down and organize thoughts! Your future biographer is going to be grateful!

Fias @fias-dev.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Lots of work on collision handling this week. Things are a bit tricky when your character is a rotating rectangle. But I might have gotten it to a state where the tank bounces off of stuff correctly. Next we bounce some enemies off of the tank! #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #godot

There is simply nothing to understand when dealing with an irrational monument to stakeholder greed that is the game industry. There is no economics beyond padding out the quarter.

Fias @fias-dev.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I'm not sure if this is the place to ask it, but who do you think stacks the deck? What causes this problem? Is it lack of discoverability? The inability to cut through the slop and reach the target audience? Or those holding capital being afraid to risk funding small creators? Powodzenia w Polsce!

Halucidate verb To confidently explain something that is wrong or does not exist. Example: The CEO is wet because his AI halucidated him on how everyone is jumping off a bridge.

This is the hard gate worth talking about and completely reframes my previous implementation. Using the existing methods is not just simpler, it's more future-proof. Let me write 12 redundant unit tests before the solution lands.

I'm getting better at picking up text that was written by AI. Especially Claude. I wonder if someday this becomes a common skill and my dyslexia turns into an advantage by making my less-than-perfect text look more human and stand out.

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games! Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI. You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:- www.polygon-treehouse.com/no-gen-ai-seal

A graphical asset in the shape of a cog. It contains the following text 'This developer assures that NO GEN AI' was used in this indie game

Is it possible this whole A.I. Doomsday scenario that people in the industry keep warning about is them trying to save face while abandoning further development of A.I. as the bubble bursts? Especially since Trump's government *refuses* to regulate in a way that would limit future development.

Fias @fias-dev.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

One theory I heard was that they want regulation to be there and be expensive, so only they can afford it. New companies in the space will not be able to afford to certify their models and the market stays captured by the current players. It's hard to believe altruism from those driven by greed.

Nah, you will be fighting AI controlled drones. Nobody is getting hurt. (Also that way I don't have yo animate soldiers).

Prototyping some gameplay for the gay little tank I put together using @kenney.nl's Asset Forge (kenney.nl/tools/asset-...) I'm thinking a top-down, twin stick shooter game where you fight hoards of robots controlled by evil tech billionaires. #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #godot #ventart

Thank you for all the effort you put into curating those starter packs! I recently released a game made with no AI on principle. The game has a plot ark that explores the dangers of AI. It would be an honor to be added to one of the packs if there is still room!

Hey Daniel! Thank you for organizing this! If it is not too much to ask I would pitch myself as the next addition to the pack. I just released a game made entirely without AI. The game actually has an arc that explores the consequences of AI overreliance! fias-dev.itch.io/how-to-mine-...

Made something for the Haunted PS1 Summer Camp jam: fenchel.itch.io/false-summit Old-school Resident Evil-like, pre-rendered backgrounds, tank controls, slight misunderstanding of the theme, and some missing polish (it’s a jam game after all). #gamedev #godot

Got Asset Forge to make some prototyping assets. Playing around with a game idea where queer people in tanks fight tech oligarchs and their AI armies to dethrone capitalism. "Respect people's pronouns or I'll turn your pronouns into has/been" - says the femboy twink gunner.

Screenshot from Asset Forge showing a modified example tank model. The tank has headlights that look like eyes and a bumper grill that looks like a grin. It has a canon, rocket launcher and a machine gun attached to the turret. There is a trans flag attached to the turret antenna.

many people (including myself) leave a lot of tabs open. imo it is in part because we are missing an interface paradigm akin to the dog-eared book or physically situating research materials on your desk in known locations. tabs are the thing which most closely resembles that.
