Reposted by Joshmeghna jayanth @meghna.bsky.social · 11/10/2026the only survival strategy in the near to mid term for creatives imo is to make weird new stuff that an LLM could never come up with bc it’s hopelessly mired in nostalgia and what has come before — we have to lean into being weird human freaks rather than producing “content” 16615 66

I had fun reading about how real stinger launchers work for inspiration on how to program the missile's guidance, which uses proportional navigation 🤓 #godot #helicopter #indiegamedev 0103 10

Reposted by JoshJulian Pearson Rickenbach @julian-pr.bsky.social · 11/07/2026We're taking the approach of making a fun prototype first before rabbit holing into oblivion. Since the flight was in a good enough spot, I did some work on the gunner's experience. Any ideas for what/who the enemies are? Robots? Terrorists? Robot terrorists? 🤔 #godot #indiedev #helicopter 291 9
Reposted by JoshJulian Pearson Rickenbach @julian-pr.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Started a new game prototype last week with my friend @frenchjoe.bsky.social and I'm really enjoying the process so far. It's loosely inspired by games with co-op flying gameplay like battlefield BC2/3/4/6, planetside 2, even dust 514. All assets are placeholder :) #helo3d #godot #prototype 151 5

Josh @frenchjoe.bsky.social · 20/01/2026how much do you show in a pitch deck when your game is still pre-alpha? trying to figure out the balance between "here's the vision" and "here's what exists." if you've successfully pitched at this stage, I'd love to pick your brain. #indiegames #gamedev #godot 194 9
