Before and After #solodev #monogame #indiedev #fallingblocks
Before: Static programmer art fall-themed background behind game board and a fall-themed characterAfter: Fall-colored gradient background shifting from top left to bottom right with fallen leaves scattered across it. Same game UI and board as before

Added a (very rough) first pass at boss introduction banners! They'll help you learn what you're about to face. The colors are based on the core itself, but... there's definitely a lot of work to be done here #indiedev #solodev #monogame #fallingblocks

Brycicle is one of the characters that will be playable in my #indiegame! It always annoyed me that characters in falling block puzzle games didn't change anything with the gameplay, so my goal is to have characters that actually and meaningfully change the way the game is played. #oc #art

Copy Cats is approaching 2800 wishlists! Can we reach 3k before the game comes out on 29th of October? Can we go even further beyond? Wishlist Copy Cats on Steam and try the free demo! store.steampowered.com/app/4700300/... #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #puzzlegame

It's not much, but it's a start: A title screen for my falling block puzzle game! On a related note, I'm taking suggestions for the game's name lol #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #monogame

This one is similar: The pentomino boss will force only pentominoes to spawn. Like the Diminish boss, it also gives you less time to cover your field than a normal core would!

Greenstack @greenstack.bsky.social · 19/08/2026
Added two bosses to my #indiegame tonight! This one is called Diminish - it only spawns monominoes and dominoes, rarely giving you a larger triomino to cover the space with. #monogame #indiedev #solodev #fallingblocks

Spent this week vastly improving the UI. Still a lot of work to be done, but I'm really happy with the visual indicators showing the current status of everything #monogame #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

I'm staying up way too late to work on this kind of thing But I also love how my UI is starting to become more polished so whatever lol #indiedev #monogame #solodev

I added bosses to my #fallingblock #indiegame! This one, the gravity boss, causes gravity to change randomly and that only items that change gravity spawn on the board. Also the game gets faster the less health you have now #monogame #solodev

My least favorite thing is UI development but that’s what my game needs most right now 🫠

Watching the Fire Emblem direct yesterday has been dangerous for both my wallet and my falling block puzzle game because I want to make a game with dozens of characters now lol

Greenstack @greenstack.bsky.social · 06/08/2026
That’s incredibly impressive—and well deserved! Congratulations!

Greenstack @greenstack.bsky.social · 01/08/2026
I agree, I think this is much better! I think it might’ve been better on horizontal videos because some engines will calculate vertical FOV based on desired horizontal FOV and screen height (I know Unreal does this), so squishing the width might’ve done weird things with the vertical FOV

Greenstack @greenstack.bsky.social · 01/08/2026
I wonder if the field of view might be what’s making people feel dizzy? The edges of the player’s view seems to be moving/distorting faster than other parts of the screen, so that’s a bit disorienting for me at least

Greenstack @greenstack.bsky.social · 01/08/2026
This looks really cool! That said, if you want it to look more desert-like, surrounding the water with greenery will help that area feel more like an oasis. Making the water muddy would make it feel stagnant and desert-ish as well. Sagebrush and cacti would also go a long way selling the feel

I am finding this so much cleaner to read from an observer (and probably player) standpoint - I really like this direction! (the colors are great too)

New oc for a little physical card game I'm doing on the side so I don't go insane debugging my main game lol Her name is Dani Saylor, and while she LOVES knives and acrobatics, she promises that she's completely sane*. *Medical professionals have not evaluated or verified this statement.
A colored pencil drawing of a young woman with short green hair, with one large bang covering her right eye. She's wearing a red scarf, a light blue button-up crop top that still has a collar and long sleeves but leaves a little midriff exposed; short brown shorts, fishnet leggings that end just above her knees, and blue stockings that go up to just below her knees. She's wielding two knives and has several others belted at her waist. She's got a friendly smile and is standing at a cliff's edge in front of a bluish gray cloudy sky.

This isn't what I was hoping for when I updated my game to MonoGame's new Vulkan backend lol Now to figure out what I did wrong...

Here’s hoping the brand-new Vulkan backend will make development on Mac/Linux a whole lot easier!

I really ought to figure out the color schemes of more of my OCs. At least I have one colored piece of her! Mirielle is an artificer that uses the blessing of the mirror goddess to allow her magical items to copy attributes of an enemy’s abilities, so she’d fit right in at a magic item shop

I spent a good portion of this week adding sound effects to the game, but I decided last night that I didn't like what I'd selected, so back to square one with that But at least I've been able to add proper input prompts on the play screen now! #indiedev #gamedev #monogame #screenshotsaturday

This week for #screenshotsaturday, I changed the default resolution of the game to 1920x1080p, implemented a bag system so that you don't get the same piece 5 times within 7 turns, and fixed the window resizing/scaling code that would mess up the UI #indiedev #madewithmonogame #solodev #gamedev
