Added a cute little moving platform to my game. Pretty happy with how it turned out on this first pass. #IndieDev #GameDev #IndieGame

I'm making 8 UI icons in class this week. For my first one I made this cute little axe and I'm actually so proud of it look how cute. 🥹 #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGameDev

I spent 3 hours yesterday troubleshooting a bug with a Bool error. Getting false when it should be true, true when should be false, etc. Nothing online about it. Was going insane. Turns out I set my print string up wrong and was debugging a script that was never broken. #IndieDev #GameDev #Help

Spent 5 hours making a really nice crafting system for an #indiegame and got excited to show my friends. I realized there isn't anything to show as it's back end code that won't land with them because it just adds a box to some ui. 😭😭😭 But trust me it is REALLY good looking stuff on the back end.

Here's a quick little demo reel of our little platformer. We've still got a lot of work to do but I'm happy to see it coming together. #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGame youtu.be/UvYMLD6DsK0?...

Today I added some cute little wind turbines that can push the player and enemies around to cause some chaos. This was a fun break from all the save/load system stuff. Really enjoying myself. imgur.com/gallery/wind... #IndieDev #GameDev #Indie

I made a simple Home Recall for my point and click rpg. Personally, I prefer no fast travel in my RPG's, however I feel like some QoL is probably for the best. I'm open to thoughts on that. #IndieDev #GameDev #IndieGame imgur.com/gallery/simp...

Ignoring my absolutely horrendous UI (It will be better one day I swear!) I made a simple little destination marker for my Point and Click RPG and it's little things like that, things that I can just whip up in 30 mins or so, that make me feel like a real developer. #IndieDev #GameDev #IndieGameDev

As we get close to finishing our current project, my team and I are building out a prototype for our next project, a point and click fantasy RPG. We're considering going with this art style, but what do you think? Does this evoke any sense of wonder? #IndieDev #GameDev #UnrealEngine

10 years in the #USArmy have aged me like milk. I've loved every minute of it. #HowItStarted #HowItsGoing

On my side project I've been trying to learn more about Landscape and just Level Design in general. Does this scene evoke any classic RPG feelings from you? Am I heading in the right direction here? #IndieGameDev #IndieDev #GameDev

Just finished up a system that dynamically replaces text in tool tips. Mainly used to read the keybinds for the game controls and display them during the tutorial and such. Such a simple thing but man does it feel great when it works. #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiedev #IHaveNoIdeaWhatImDoing

For #IndieDev on a team, how do you coordinate. We like Monday, but we've come a long way from an Excel spreadsheet and a group chat. As your team has grown or shrank, have you found there were things you wish you had organized differently?

I noticed my loading screen transition for my prototype was a bit jarring when changing levels, so I made a culling effect for the player camera. I plan to incorporate this into the loading screen itself, but for now I'm happy with it, simple as it may be. #gamedev #indiedev

What is that one "never again" system you've made as a devloper that almost burned you out?The hardest system I've made so far while working with #unrealengine has been my Save System. I've lost sleep, hair, and marbles because of it. But it was definitely worth it. #gamedev #indiedev

I'm convinced programming is 5% writing code, 5% researching code, and 90%staring at the error log through tear soaked eyes wondering where it all went wrong. 😭😭😭 #gamedev #indiedev

Been tweaking a material masking system since early on in this prototype and just wanted to show it off. I don't know much but this makes me proud. #gamedev #indiedev

Added some gears that can be used to interact with any interactive object in a scene. Really feels good to make something and have it work the first time without having to cry about it 😭 #gamedev
