Created a post it note system to keep track of bugs and issues. I've done this in other project and I can't believe it took me this long to set it up. #gamedev #Indigames

Apparently Coba is multiplayer now. Awesome. I was really hoping to spend the rest of the week rebalancing the entire game around this completely intentional feature. #Indiedev #screenshotsaturday #Itsafeature

Okay but seriously, I'd be more interested if they had a dishwashing and laundry competition. Which robot can make the best curry? Which robot can climb on my roof and repair the that one shingle that fell?

Drone Harrier! Inspired by the arcade classic Space Harrier. Aero uses his Drone to vanquish enemy bots! Getting the Mode 7-like 3D effect working was surprisingly tricky. This is definitely one I’d love to come back to and polish up someday. #screenshotsaturday #Indiegames #gamedev

I really wish I liked Kingdom Hearts. My feed is completely hijacked by it right now, and honestly, I could use that kind of joy in my life. Not that I dislike Kingdom Hearts specifically. I just have a hard time enjoying any amalgam of different IPs. Like Wreck-It Ralph or Ready Player One.

Currently reading 1984 again, and I’m having a hard time figuring out how this country is somehow becoming 1984 and Idiocracy simultaneously. Is "moronitarianism" a word?

I recently built playable game ads at work, and I fell in love with the challenge of creating a polished slice of a game that fits under 5 MB. Here are my tips for a completely free 2D workflow, whether you are making a playable ad or HTML5 game. 🧵 1/9

No Chucks Given! Meet Rocco, kicked out of the Outlaw Dojo for being too nice. Now he’s back to prove who’s the toughest fighter! Made for a personal game jam. Lots of vfx from the talented nyknck.itch.io on @itch.io #screenshotsaturday

Personal game jam! ANTI-VIRUS is MineSweeper meets Arrow Out. I used several assets purchased off @itch.io Shout out to the terrific @kenney.nl asset pack. This is easy mode, hard mode takes at least 4-5 minutes per level. LOL #screenshotsaturday

One thing that is very frustrating as a game designer. Many games use all controller buttons. But I design a game that only uses A and B buttons, displayed with labels on the screen. Feedback is “Controls were difficult. I didn’t know I was supposed to press B. I’ve never pressed B in my life.”

Photoshop's Quick Export lacks a "Don't Trim" option, which is frustrating. Unity's newish "Sprites from PSD Layers" feature has the same limitation. So here I am, I'm still relying on a Photoshop script I wrote back in 2005. Happy New Year.

Her club attack is like a short and wide, so I'm thinking the spear is longer range and more forward. #screenshotSaturday

I recently worked with Heidi, we both contracted on the same game dev project. She's exceptionally talented, professional, and insightful. I was saddened to learn about the difficulties she's been facing. I hope you'll consider supporting her during this time.

87 seconds to make a build! All my optimizations paid off! The build used to be 4GB, but now it's down to 255 MB.

On Window's you need to install 7.11 GB of Visual Studio products to make Window's builds with Unity (IL2CPP). I guess it's not too bad, just really annoying when I'm trying to make a build quickly.

I came up with an exciting game idea in 2023. A couple months ago I started putting a couple hours a day into it. I’m not ready to share art or details, but I’ve got the whole story and character concepts done! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

Another prototype from that same batch. Sadly, I didn't get very far on the dino racing gameplay.

I upgraded my wife’s camping knife from her vintage Victorinox to a Victorinox CyberTool. I 3D printed the paracord bead. We found a discontinued red leather pouch and I riveted a pocket clip onto it, since belt loops are dumb. I think it looks really sharp!
