Hi friends, this game dev is going through a desperate situation, so if anyone has a spare $5 to purchase a 4 games game bundle, please consider supporting him. 🫶 Alternatively, reposting their post to help if you can’t financially support would be amazing too, to help get the word out further. 🔁

If duplicates did not break things, and a warning was shown on bindings with conflicts (so it is clear which bindings remains to fix), would you still prefer the unbind? If so why?

110

Julien @julienaubert.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

If user confirms, would it be swap? or left as duplicate? or something else? (what would the pop-up ask?)

200

Julien @julienaubert.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

Ah right the third option, quite common as well: (3a with notify, 3b without notify) LEFT: <empty> RIGHT: A

Julien @julienaubert.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

Controller and keyboard for sure, but the discussion is relevant for mouse as well (although Astroblocks may not have bindings for mouse unless someone feels strongly about it)

210

Julien @julienaubert.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

#gamedev #indiegames question for keybindings: LEFT: A RIGHT: B You enter "A" for right. Two common ways to deal with it: (1 highlight issues, let the user sort it out): LEFT: A RIGHT: A (2 swap): LEFT: B RIGHT: A What do you prefer and why/when?

Well.. younger me used to be annoyed in movies when they would "enhance" a low res photo of something important.. I was focused on "you can't extract more information than there is there".. but didn't think one could make such good guesses based on priors!

Got feedback the bombs were hard to see, so made them pop a bit more - testing it out by building a blue ring and chain combo. If anyone else have tweaks they want to see, let me know :) #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegames #solodev

gotta fix those issues... one down! win platform: fix can run when no audio devices and recover when unplug/plug device | Started an hour ago (1h 23m 43s) benefit of custom engine and own platform layer: you know all the code. downside: you must write all the code 👀 #solodev #customengine

Hey #gamedev #indiegames! Sometimes we need a bit of magic. I saw this game and the dev could use some support rn. With the exchange rate, even a small purchase can make a big difference. If you can, consider a purchase or gifting it. oneredeyedev.itch.io/rapid-roll-dx @oneredeyedev.bsky.social

I was asked in my Reddit announcement: "What sets your game apart from Tetris?" I explained Astroblocks' uniqueness in a reply, and it clicked 😀 But how can I improve the trailer?🤔 Would love your ideas/thoughts💡 #gamedev #indiegames www.reddit.com/r/IndieGamin...
