iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Hyrax Tongue @hyraxtongue.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

Hey Bsky! I came back from my holiday and one of the things that I decided that I have to reduce my time on digital devices. Back to analogue as much as I can... Because of this decision I will stop learning digital game dev for now and probably will start learning boardgame design. Stay safe!

Dear bsky diary. This is day 26 on my gamedev learning journey. Today I read the 5th chapter of "The Art of Game Design". My favourite quote is: "you must see everything in your game at once" Story, mechanics, aesthetics and technology. All have to work together. #indiedev #gamedev

Dear bsky diary. This is day 19 on my gamedev learning journey. Today I continue reading "The Art of Game Design", here is a quote that caught my attention: “venues change very little.” When we design games we should think about venues instead of platforms. #indiedev #gamedev

Game design is hard because you really need to solve problems without creating more problems And nobody has ever done that

Dear bsky diary. This is day 4 on my gamedev learning journey. Besides of game engine coding and pixel art I want to learn actual game design as well, so I've decided to read some books on the topic! I found these 3 books very interesting. #gamedev #aseprite #gdevelop #indiedev
