I wonder if now is the time to go through the games I’ve made and find some common issues and pitfalls I’ve encountered among them so that I can level up my game development skills. I’ve been feeling like my work doesn’t reach its full potential and I’d like to figure out why.

Well someone made Unown Message achievements so now that game is getting a lot of attention and some people got triggered by the self-harm scene in the game. I updated the page to make it more obvious that there is upsetting content but I feel bad. I should have put a warning in the game itself.

Personally, I’m happy to see anything you work on, regardless of whether it gets completed or not. I love game development as an art and you are quite the artist.

Guess I should also add, I’m not mad at people who say this. Obviously, societal pressure about weight affects everyone, and does so differently depending on the person. I don’t blame people for feeling that sort of pressure. It’s just always jarring when it’s said to me like I’m not fat lol

Maybe I just need to make an extremely silly game. Just honk my nose and squirt my flower or whatever the kids are doing these days.

This is coming from a guy who made a game about corporate clowns. Honestly my magnum opus

Lowkey hate it when people don’t have a sense of whimsy. Where can a bitch fancifully frolick? Quaint quirks and voluminous vagary wanted. Some caprice on the side, if you’re nasty.

I’ve been feeling real down about my gamedev ability lately. Just feels like everything I make is mediocre.

I can’t talk about the game I’m working on too much right now, but one of the themes of the game is “love is never wasted” and I need to believe that now more than ever. No matter where love goes, it’s never pointless.

Got an hour to spare today or tomorrow? Leave some kind comments on things you enjoy. Tell a developer they're doing a great job, or let an artist know their work is incredible. It can make a big difference in someone's day, trust me.

tall grass autotiling is set up, as well as the first stab at the fake depth. I think this is technically fine, but if I think of any tricks to make it more seamless I'll give them a shot. #gamedev #pixelart

Probably the worst code I've ever written but the game now displays locations of all uncollected treasures - once you've completed the game at least once and "continue" #gamedev #indiedev Check out/wishlist/etc etc here store.steampowered.com/app/4551640/...
The full world map of the game revealed at the start of the game. It's a mess, you're welcome.The full world map revealed, after the game is complete. It's the same, but with 50 new markers showing locations of gems and treasures.

Honestly, it’s really nice to see how much I’ve improved with gamedev over time. I’m glad I saved my old work so I can look at it and see how far I’ve come.

Set up the menu clock and built out a solid message box system, I think. I'd need to adjust it if I wanted in-line formatting, but I don't think I'll add that unless I really feel I need it. #gamedev #pixelart

I’ve been quietly working on a big game lately and I want to show it but it’s still too early. A friend of mine is helping me and I’m so excited to share about it. I feel like it’s a really unique concept with a nice retro feel.

ok, I now have an efficient text formatting script to make basic textboxes like this easier to make. as usual I'm using Monogram by @datagoblin.bsky.social because I still think its the pinnacle of legible and compact monospace pixel fonts. #gamedev #pixelart #screenshotsaturday

I’ve been quietly reflecting since that last game jam. I noticed a LOT of people were upset they didn’t win or get featured, and I’m like… girl, it doesn’t matter. It’s a game jam, not a publishing deal. It’s nice to be recognized, but… make games because you want to, not to get noticed.

I think the next game I make will be a joint venture with one of my buddies and it’ll be a Zelda-like with a neat twist. 👀

I need to level up my pixel art more. I might have to learn how to appropriately apply anti-aliasing and that’s always been something I felt was missing from the stuff I do.

I’m gonna fix this clown game up a bit, finish adding some QoL improvements and mobile controls, and then it’s off to the next game for me. Not sure what to make yet.

I’m not entirely sure how I could do anything more on theme than what I did, but overall I’m happy with the results! 37 out of 401 is nothing to sneeze at.

"abandoned baseball diamond" is one of the early game biomes I've had planned for ages, so I was excited to test it out here. I haven't designed tall grass yet, but other than that I think the tileset is very much handling the job! #pixelart #gamedev

I'm using a different, expanded palette for the tileset that doesn't overlap with the critter tileset very much, with the hope being that it will help separate the actors from the background. #pixelart #gamedev

my plan at the moment is to keep pretty much the rest of the game true to GBC visual limitations, but I'll allow the player to break the rules in the character creator if they want. #gamedev #pixelart
