Handheld keyboards can be convenient for a buncha stuff, but all available options always have some stupid caveat to me (wireless-only, crap layouts, iffy mouse control)... so fuck it, made one. Wiring's a mess but hey, it works!... though might be time I learn kikad or something lol

Not 100% sure on the colors but hey, beats Prototype Gray™! Also ditched the BTUs for good old silicon nitride static bearings, stiction's minimal anyway. Also that button in the ball socket's to hit the Boot on the rp2040 for easier reflashing #trackball #3dprint #3dprinting #qmk

Been dancing around building a trackball for a while but yay, existance! Gonna keep it in Prototype Gray™ while I get used to it. Specs: - 55mm ball on 9mm BTU bearings - 7 buttons w/ Gateron Low Profile Banana tactile switches - PMW3389 sensor - RP2040 Zero flashed w/ QMK #trackball #3dprinting

Haven't had a paper printer in forever so nabbed one of them color laser ones (cartridges are a scam and ecotanks ain't much cheaper), which coupled with sublimation paper allows one to do... among other stuff, dyesub keycaps for my custom keyboard! #3Dprinting #3Dprint #mechanicalkeyboards

Got a pack of filament colors meant for 3D pens, so made these mini-spools to properly store them. Works quite well for spool leftovers too! Otherwise you're just keeping a mostly empty KG spool around. Link: www.thingiverse.com/thing:7376818 #3dprint #3dprinting

Not exactly an original thing to #3Dprint, but it was either this or giving money to Jeff Bezos. This was more fun. Link: www.thingiverse.com/thing:7371095

So I refined those button caps I made a while back a bit more, and uploaded them to thingiverse. Anyone with an 8bitdo Pro 3 and a 3D printer, have fun! www.thingiverse.com/thing:7366453 #3dprint #3dprinting #8bitdo

Finally got around to adding drift sparks, wanted them to look a bit different from the first game so just been putting it off lol #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #krita

Here we have 3 specimens of the species dunginus plataformis femalis in their natural habitat, one so inhospitable that one's ability to thrive still leaves researchers... puzzled. For a small fee for operational costs, you too can contribute to discovering their methods of survival. For science.

Fábio Fontes @fontes.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

"Well, spending a week out, probably won't be able to do much on the laptop." ... then I proceed to re-implement most of the character creator and oh yeah, the bike's back! Not bad! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #linux

Fábio Fontes @fontes.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

Now that walls are working (still need work, I know), figured I'd add more along the track to spruce things up a bit. Along with something else that for now does fuck all (not even collisions), but... if you know, you know! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #linux

0337

Fábio Fontes @fontes.bsky.social · 05/04/2026

Still needs unjankening, but them walls are better integrated into the environment. Oh yeah, boost pads/ramps are back in too, that feels important. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #linux

Fábio Fontes @fontes.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

Yay, garage. Also started re-implementing character customization. A "randomize" function's as good a start as any, since it gives me most of it working off the bat! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #linux

0287

Fábio Fontes @fontes.bsky.social · 01/04/2026

Figured I'd be able to re-implement wall-riding pretty quick-ish. Pretty crude for now, but not bad for an afternoon I suppose. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #linux

Consider an alternative: Giant Ally Crab. #ttrpg #tmnt (Cover art by @fontes.bsky.social!)

The cover to Julian Kay's Mutants in the Mini: Merry Crabmas, a 'zine for Mutants in the Now. It features the title in big block letters with "mini" being in a shattered outline as if it's shrinking. The cover illustration features a large, giant grab putting tiny crabs in a bucket to help the across the road as normal crabs march across the road (a reference to the famous march of crabs on Australia's Christmas island). A pickup is stopped in the background, shining its headlights across the crabs and road in question. The subtitle reads "Micro-Companion 1 for the retro-modern, mutant animal, role-playing game!"

Took me long enough to implement billboard effects, specifically in a queue to keep track of everything. Dust puffs are as good a test as any innit. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #linux

1348

Fábio Fontes @fontes.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

Still needs drift sparks, but at least got that dust flapping in the wind. Oh yeah, finally got around to sort out a minimap, that'll be useful. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot

Fábio Fontes @fontes.bsky.social · 19/03/2026

Needs them drift sparks, dust flying all over the place and that bottom-left corner absolutely needs a meter... but hey, drift boosts are back in! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #godotengine

Fábio Fontes @fontes.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

Bit more sprucin' up the environment, made the track change orientation and mirror at random for diversity, and added them billboards which adjust if the track's mirrored. Not much progress since the last post but hey, chuggin along. Should work on effects now? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot

Fábio Fontes @fontes.bsky.social · 07/03/2026

Well, that track's lookin' alright. At least alright enough to toss gameplay bullshit at it, I suppose. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #godotengine

Fábio Fontes @fontes.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

Messin' a bit more with controlling that dummy. Added a bit of a lean when turning, and been playing a bit with inverse kinematics. Those'll be useful to keep them hands on that steering wheel innit. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Does this guy need full platformer controls? Probably not. Is it detrimental for what I need of him? Not really. Figuring out ledge-grabbing was easier than I expected, though! #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Fábio Fontes @fontes.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

I was a dumbass and was relying on the leg bones to move that skirt which worked as well as you'd think, so decided to fix it before I made more of these. Might tweak that animation some more, but it'll do for now at least. #gamedev #indiedev #blender

That screen arrived today from aliexpress (5.7", 1080p with touch and ok speakers) so doing a quick tape-powered test with my OrangePi 5 Max. Still wild to me one can have a full-ass desktop experience like this. Distro's bredOS btw. Goofy name, but great option for non-RPi SBCs. #orangepi #linux

Haven't drawn shit in a while due to pesky burnout, figured out how to replace sprites in Daggerfall Unity, so did a quick experiment lol #daggerfall #krita

Fábio Fontes @fontes.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

Still rough as shit but hey, it looks like *a place* at the very least. Kinda! Figuring out how to lay the road in there and not have it clip all over the place was interesting. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

1423

Fábio Fontes @fontes.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

Bit more refinement on controls, now with 100% more ratchet turning! And yeah, road texturing's important too I suppose. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Fábio Fontes @fontes.bsky.social · 16/01/2026

It's one thing to test controls in the vaccuum of an empty area, it's another to have a track to go through. This'll do for now. Shoutout to the iffy collisions on the overpass lol #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Finally giving Morrowind a go (using openmw). While it's fun to do my usual hand-to-hand run, it's also funny to figure out you can kinda play this like a boomer shooter. Crossbows are funny like that. ... and yes, the series very much went downhill after this one.

Fábio Fontes @fontes.bsky.social · 05/01/2026

Setting that heightmap terrain aside and refining them car controls a bit more. Yeah, this is feeling alright! #gamedev #indiedev #godot

2558

Fábio Fontes @fontes.bsky.social · 24/12/2025

Yeah, that drifting's feeling a bit better now. Might as well spruce up the camera as well while I'm at it, eh. #godot #gamedev #indiedev

1356

Fábio Fontes @fontes.bsky.social · 22/12/2025

If you saw that heightmap test I recently did... come on, you know it was but a matter of time till I threw the Ferrero in there, right? While busy with other stuff to actually work on BUAD2, this'll do for now even if it's not exactly "canon". Not yet at least, I dunno. #godot #indiedev #gamedev

Fábio Fontes @fontes.bsky.social · 16/12/2025

Bit more tweaking and changed how the terrain works (just importing from Blender instead of messing with shaders and heightmap file conversions), looks kind of alright

1134

Fábio Fontes @fontes.bsky.social · 15/12/2025

When you're messing with #godot to learn heightmap terrain and end up cobbling together a day/night cycle in there because I dunno, thought it'd be funny! #gamedev #indiedev

Seems to be in right now to talk about game-launching mockups. Might as well skip that and show this thing I've been working on lately. There's still some fine-tuning before I release it, and still deciding on licenses but it will be FOSS, but as-is it does what I need it to do.
