What do you do when youre unmotivated to work on your previous #gamedev project? Start a different one!

After being auto banned for no fault of my own and missing #marathon server slam, it seems like all I get is that they are sorry @bungie.net? I guess it's a sign to play the other games in my Steam/Xbox library.

I feel like since all the studio layoffs we should start boycotting events like #GDC #gamedev

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

I was literally thinking about doing the same thing for a love select screen

#gamedev #hottake we need to unionize our industry. Another friend just called me looking for work. I feel like this tale occurs far too often.

Happy birthday!! Yea I’m going out of town Friday and they are already talking about flight cancellations

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

lol I feel the same. Hopefully someone will play this. Once I get an artist to update it and sound. And vfx. Pretty much everything besides programming lol

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

Yea Ive been working on this project for awhile now. And it’s a little difficult to get motivated as I know what I want I want to do next.

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

As I host my own p4 server on azure, I 100% git this. Pun intended I used to use gitkraken. Had a lot of features m, but my job (Microsoft) disabled it. So I use the cmd now :/

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

Hey #gamedev and #indiedev Do you finish your project, or move on to something else. I’m at that crossroad where it’s not fun/exciting anymore.

Did a bunch of improvements with input to make it better. Still need to add a cd to the shoot when tapping. Also learned a lot about UI thanks to Godotneers on YouTube. I keep telling myself it’s a marathon, not a sprint. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 07/01/2026

After playing with the trajectory, I like having it not show the bounce so that it forces the player to get better. I still need to improve the input. But I kinda wanna focus on UI #gamdev #indiedev #godot

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 05/01/2026

Should I laugh or cry at that probably being a fact

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 05/01/2026

So since my flight from PR was cancelled, do I send the bill to Trump or the administration?

110

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 04/01/2026

I like how the trajectory line shows up. there is a slight bug where the bubble hits vs the reflection point. Probably fix it when im not exhausted. #gamedev #indedev #godot

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

I’m thinking which country wants a software engineer. He’s gonna take us to war for no reason

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

Look at how much I can get done when my flight gets cancelled and I sit at the bar all day. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

072

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

It’s on my phone. I can already tell I need to scale things up. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

071

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

This and the cost of ram, means i wont be getting anything :/

000

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

and like that we can load the level data! I'd like to take this time to thank the academy... wait. too early for all that. Now to focus on levels and getting it on my phone. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

082

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

I did some minor updates to make the sliders better, save & load work. and finally randomize. I think my editor is good for now. now to crank out some levels!! Oh and load the info during runtime #gamdev #indiedev #godot

020

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

Gosh I was gonna wait for the 6 series as I’m on the 3090ti. I also have to replace my psu:/

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

Happy new year! Had some down time. (well few hrs here and there). I made the grid and I'm able to paint where the bubbles will go. Next I need to save the data to the level and load it during runtime. I also need to use the RNG in the editor #gamedev #indiedev #godot

0101

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 27/12/2025

oh then, yea, that's just regular parallax. Im sure there are some good YouTube tutorials. Im on vacation, but if you can't find anything lemme know

010

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 26/12/2025

1 example: go check out the game 1942. (airplane game) as the player moves the backgrounds should just slide in at different rates

110

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 26/12/2025

we have a level editor well version 0.001 dot alpha lol I want to make bubble layouts next based on the information here. Then a game designer (me) will be able to place bubbles to start cranking out levels #godot #gamdev #indiedev

0163

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 26/12/2025

Merry Christmas Even though I'm on vacation, I was able to get my level editor display. Now I need to code it up #gamedev #indiedev #godot

0383

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 22/12/2025

we have basic menus! I think now im going to try to make a level editor where a designer (me) will be able to place bubbles and serialize this out as a level. If anyone is interested i can post about it #godot #indiedev #gamedev

072

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 22/12/2025

did some code refactor and implemented game modes - normal/classic - one shot next up is time trial #godot #gamedev #indiedev

094

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 21/12/2025

I added back the queue and the current bubble that is loaded #godot #indiedev

020

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 21/12/2025

updated the level data to specify where the walls are defined #godot #indiedev #gamedev

1185

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 21/12/2025

I added back the bubble breaking and the ball falling logic #godot #indiedev

030

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 20/12/2025

Second day back on my puzzle bobble. - added levels - added the canon - shooting bubbles Need to figure out the why they are stuck in air. I feel like im moving faster in #godot. maybe cause of the style of game #indiedev

021

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

I'm back. I interviewed for some jobs and didn't get them so /shrug I decided to switch from #unreal -> #godot Maybe its due to wanting to always do a #2d game, but also have it run on my phone so another /shrug so now it should be faster as its the second time right. right? :cries:

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 09/09/2025

@baskinator.bsky.social Is there a place for a bug report. Since the new update I'm unable to run Visual Studio at the same time.

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 06/09/2025

THIS. LOOKS. FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC!! Wishlisting now!

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 06/09/2025

After finishing the win scenario, finishing up with the lose. I added another Actor (yellow line) and based the position off the bottom. Then using a UMaterialInstanceDynamic, update the opacity. Next, I want to tackle creating tools for levels at editor time #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #unreal

hardcodednumber.bsky.social @hardcodednumber.bsky.social · 06/09/2025

I had a question about how to make a string in blueprints, and someone suggested to not hard code the string. Did they look at my username and take it literally? #gamedev #unreal
