HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 21/03/2026Custom music and beatmaps have been added! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev 083
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 14/03/2026Happy #screenshotsaturday! Been working on some lighting recently and comparing it to how the game looked about a year ago. #gamedev #indiedev 082
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 31/01/2026Working on something small this week, just comparing some different animations for hitting a note. Still need some more practice with unity's particle system. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiediv 082
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 17/01/2026Hidden amongst the bushes, Gus the rat can be found offering the player a wide variety of powerful items. (Just don't let his perceptive eyes fool you) #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev 0112
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 15/11/2025Working this weekend on overhauling the custom music in my game #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev 072
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 08/11/2025I have nothing else to show this week so please accept one pixel art drawing of corgo from my game Cantale. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #art 092
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 02/11/2025Working on the main menu and the character select screen in my rhythm-roguelike game Cantale. Now like all good roguelike games, you can set your seed for different runs! #gamedev #solodev #roguelike 092
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 18/10/2025Just showing off a little animation for opening and closing the minimap in my game #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev 2133
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 04/10/2025Probably 90% of my artistic ability lies in copy paste and Kritas default brushes, but at least I can make this wood background texture in a few minutes. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday 0173
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 27/09/2025Happy #screenshotsaturday! Here is a WIP of my new title screen, still want to add a little bit of animation and tweak some colors. Stay tuned to find out what lurks on the island in my game Cantale ^_^ #gamedev #indiedev 0145
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 20/09/2025Added custom note colors last night! Now the player can pick one color and the game will automatically assign four contrasting tetradic colors for the notes and buttons. Sorry to anyone who really wants a rhythm game with only four bright pink buttons. #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #indiedev 0192
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 14/09/2025Took me playing some other rhythm games to realize I somehow never even thought to give the player a grade for each battle they complete. So we have that now! #gamedev #roguelike #indiedev 2124
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 10/09/2025Thank you so much to everyone who helped me reach 100 followers! You guys all help me get a little bit closer to my dream of working on games full time, and I am excited to get to know more of you awesome folks in the bluesky gamedev space <3 050
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 09/09/2025Work in progress of the minimap button and so far so good (Pray for me its the first time I have had to deal with render textures or color formats) #gamedev #indiedev 0125
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 01/09/2025This probably applies to a very niche community, but to anyone making rhythm games/anything very time based in unity DEFINITELY try to use dspTime instead of deltaTime. Makes it so much easier to then scale objects by the bpm of your song/beatmap. #gamedev #solodev 0213
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 30/08/2025Take a look at the inventory screen for my main character Jessie! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday 092
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 02/08/2025A very minor change but adding feedback when the player is holding a note helps a lot #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday 0134
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 05/07/2025Wish I got to add more this week but at least we now have a nifty little bar at the bottom of the screen that shows your song progress. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday 0205
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 28/06/2025Update: the poison now poisons on hit #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #indiedev 0114
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 25/06/2025Added tooltips for items yesterday. Now if I can just get this to work with 999 of an item, I will call it good. #gamedev #indiedev 0154
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 21/06/2025Finally adding customizable keybinds to my game which I should have learned how to do a while ago. I feel like not many rhythm games let you do it, but now everyone gets to make their own control scheme, no matter how terrible it is. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev 1194
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 10/05/2025No #gamedev updates today since im graduating from university tomorrow. Wishing everyone the best of luck in their awesome looking games! 062
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 03/05/2025A friendly reminder to those showcasing your game to write the CORRECT controls for the player. Not making that mistake again (hopefully) #gamedev #solodev #screenshotsaturday 083
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 26/04/2025Been doing a lot this week adding controller support, updated map generation, and animations. Yet all i really have to show off is this battle start sign... #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #solodev #roguelike 040
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 19/04/2025Being able to work on my game for school assignments is wonderful but having to actually justify my old janky map generation in 5 page paper format is hurting my soul. #gamedev #solodev 082
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 16/04/2025I'm not sure how similar the process is in other game engines besides Unity, but are there people that actually enjoy trying to debug state machines? Theres a reason I stay as far away from them as I can... #gamedev #unity 291
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 12/04/2025This #screenshotsaturday I wanted to share a couple of the other map locations that the player can find in my game Cantale. #gamedev #solodev #roguelike 082
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 09/04/2025Yesterday I added a retractable legend with all the map tiles in my game. Hopefully players are curious enough to find it on their own. #gamedev #solodev #roguelike 060
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 05/04/2025Finally got a chance to work on the attack animation for my game. As the player hits notes, orbs are generated and hurled at the enemy >:) #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #art #gameart 0101
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 01/04/2025Game devs! Share your game engine and 3 screenshots of your game! #gamedev #indiegamedev #unity 072
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 29/03/2025Had the brilliant idea to add a roulette wheel to my game since every good roguelike needs some luck. So...LETS GO GAMBLING!! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #solodev #roguelike 093
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 26/03/2025Been working on a bunch of random fixes in my game recently. But I'm probably most proud of this red and blue fight transition so players know who is attacking. #gamedev #solodev #roguelike 161
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 22/02/2025Here is a look at the settings page I've been working on recently, hopefully someone figures out the "frog-related" game that the pause music is inspired by. #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #roguelike 0101
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 14/02/2025Since I haven't posted in a bit, here is a picture of my cat Jade. Happy Valentines Day everyone! #cats 050
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 03/02/2025My favorite item in my game right now is the Crystal Stopwatch. Thankfully, unity doesn't make it too hard to slow down and speed up music. #gamedev #solodev #roguelike 090
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 27/01/2025Took a break from normal development this weekend to play with a VR headset for the first time. Probably spent about 5 hours just hitting balls into the sky... #gamedev #solodev 1130
HotdogRat @hotdograt.bsky.social · 19/01/2025My first post on bluesky!!Here is a quick first look at my rhythm-roguelike game Cantale inspired by Slay the Spire #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike 4473
