The more A/i shoves its way into animation and gamedev the more I wanna do things manually. Im about this 🤏 close in making a hand-drawn, scanned in 2D game. Just in spite of it all. Meanwhile look at this lil guy #indiedev #gamedev

This thread not only gives a great explanation as to why the NFT grift failed, but lowkey answers the question as to why "all those fliers look 'like that' now".

Idk I think it's cooler to give people some time to discover certain things in new games for themselves, and experience the joy of it—as is intended—before you post it. Especially if you have any kind of privileged access. I am thoughtful about what I share outside of stream for this exact reason.

Made a fun little shader in Unreal. A stepped stylized outline on 2d shapes! What am I using it for?! 🤷‍♂️ #gamedev #indiedev

I've finally decided to stop adding devs to the first pack and create a second one. The first one now has 300 great developers in it, and I don't want people to be too overwhelmed after clicking "follow all", so I've started a second pack here: go.bsky.app/xozdCt

I made 7 Nights with Vroombi and now working on a couple other projects without Ai! I'd love to be added!

I've been offline a bunch! But we hit 3600 sales for Vroombi this week! I started a new FT job this week at a local studio. So updates on my next project will be slow but still happening behind the scenes! #indiedev #indiegame

Ima make a game that you get to punch people that stand too close to you at the store. Top down beat em up. You get extra points for helping other people clear their personal bubble too. 🫧 😊 #indiegame #indiedev

Ahaha if I had a Dragon Ball Z style time chamber maybe. OR I get massive funding :P I have ideas, but not enough time!

An #indiegame price point is so weird. I went to lunch with a friend the other day. And parking was 5$ for an hour ish. And for the same price I could buy one or two fantastic indies.

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

My conspiracy theory is that the Steam algorithm has a sort of force update when a number is at x99 cuz I've woken up to a lot of these!! But also 🥳wild that my wishlists are still climbing after release! #indiegame #indiedev

I looked at other "complete"/"kill" particle FX from multiple other genres! I'm glad you like it, cuz i tweaked it forever ha! It's 3 systems, 1 tiny particles and 1 bigger particle floating up and then 1 system that spawns 5 BIG particles that are never occluded that give extra omph!

By the time all is said and done, the majority of cool projects never go anywhere - safe bets often land nowhere, but the few times something courageous and weird makes it through funding (and we can agree or disagree on the merits, etc. etc.) it can become the biggest thing that launches.

Incremental games have swallowed me. They're cheap but if I buy 10 of them in a row its still 60ish bucks 😅
