I make game engines and sometimes games. Mostly engines, though. Probably will make a game engine, yeah. Yeah. Itch page: frodoalaska.itch.io

Welp. I was burnt out from gamedev recently, so I thought I could take a "vacation" from gamedev by making a game. A small one, of course. #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamedev

Play dice with me, will ya? Or something, I don't know. I'm trying to implement the "Farkle" dice game using my engine. I learned about it from Kingdom Come Deliverance. I like the mini-game _so_ much that I thought about making it. #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegamedev #indiegame

I finally finished my first game using the engine I've been creating for the past few months. And, man, I love gamedev. That sense I get when fulfilling my creative desire is much better than anything else. Or maybe I'm exaggerating. Possibly. #gamedevelopment #indiedev #indiegamdev

Well, I totally forgot that my engine supports lighting, so I just added it instead of spending 3 days trying to implement distance-based fog. Unfortunate, yes, but it still looks good. #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegamedev

I feel like I'm at a crossroads here... get it? No? Okay. I'm unsure if the game looks better with or without the fog. Perhaps if I edit the fog's parameters (the color, the density, etc.), it will be a bit better? #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelompent

I was actually thinking to add a bit of fog just to limit the player's sight. It's definitely something I'll consider, though, since seeing the vehicles pop out of the screen does look bad.

I never realized how fun level design is. I was always too scared to do it because I have a severe case of "I don't know what the f*ck I'm doing" syndrome. Either way, I added some heavy-duty trucks to challenge the player a bit more. #gamedev #indiedev #Indiegamedev #gamedevelopment

After spending several months making the engine, I'm finally able to work on a game and, gosh darn Jebus, it's fun. It's still a work in progress, though. It's basically Frogger with level design instead of an endless road that leads to nowhere. #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiegamedev

Houses are getting really hideous-looking nowadays, eh? Or I just can't load the vertices properly. Probably that, yeah. #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegamedev
