Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The Star Dancers v0.0.12 Test Build will release Friday, October 2nd! Anyone who's interested in playing and offering feedback, I'd love to hear from you! #coding #godot #solodev #gamedev #indiedev #StarDancers 2218
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 27/09/2026The new testing build of Star Dancers: Seeds of Eternity v0.0.12 is FINALLY finished, and should be ready to release October 2, 2026! I could TECHNICALLY release it now, but I want to schedule play tests on release and that's my next day off from my real job. 😅 141
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Biome detection and background swap framework is in place. I plan on having more dynamic backgrounds later down the line, but that's a WAY future me problem. My current hyper-fixation has been elsewhere (cough cough #Valheim), so progress has kinda slowed. 😅 #coding #gamedev #solodev #godot #indie 2206
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 23/08/2026I have no idea what caused this bug yet, but once I do I'll probably implement it as an actual feature later down the line. Loving the vibe here. #coding #bugs #gamedev #happyaccidents #solodev #indiedev #godot #StarDancers 2244
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Death just didn't feel 'deathy' enough, so I redid the whole death sequence. #coding #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #gamedev #godot #StarDancers 1144
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 20/08/2026That's a fair point, satisfied players don't request refunds either! Legit tho, I love this. 💕 010
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Started to put a checklist of things I needed to add before the next release and noticed it started to sound more like a threat than a to-do list. Dead players can't request refunds. #StarDancers #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #meme #funny #gamedevelopment 2164
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 17/08/2026I've been working on the Star System Map, adding in sounds and transition effects. Sounds are a mix of different paid and free packs, and they likely won't stay, but it gives off a general feel I'm going for. #coding #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #StarDancers #Godot 1165
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 11/08/2026I'm not experienced in #SoundDesign at ALL, but I've been tinkering with the game's audio while working up to the upcoming #StarDancers update. The game still sucks by the way. There's near nothing for content, and it's barely stable. #coding #godot #solodev #indiedev #gamedev 2164
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 10/08/2026I've made a LOT of progress on #StarDancers over the past year, so before I get TOO ahead of myself in development I've decided to pump the brakes and polish up a rough development build to get some feedback before continuing! 121
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Raindrops on Roses and Whiskers on Kittens, I Hate Doing UI But This Menu's Bitch'n. 🔥💯 Spent the past few days hyperfixating, trying to impliment as many QoL improvements as possible without it being overbearing. #coding #godot #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #StarDancers 0134
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 06/08/2026I'm trying to keep everything as simple and intuitive as possible. Gonna organize it based on alphabet, rarity, material type, and crafting station next. I had a similar system from another project I made, so I just cleaned it up and ported it over. #coding #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #StarDancers 1124
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I'm revisiting the crafting system, you guys have any tips, ideas, or sins to avoid before I get too far into it? I've got an idea of what I want to do, but I'm not the one who's going to be playing this at the end of the day. 😅 #coding #godot #StarDancers #indiedev #solodev #gamedev 1143
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 04/08/2026I've mad a LOT of graphical improvements to my game recently, but visual progress is probably going to slow down again while I refine new and old systems and prepare for another test launch. There's a LOT of backend stuff that needs to be done beforehand, but I'm still pleased with recent results! 011
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Ores not only lights up 50% more than it's host block depending nearby lighting, they also sparkle now. Eventually you'll be able to craft accessories to make spelunking even easier! #coding #godot #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #StarDancers #gamedevelopment 0165
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 04/08/2026At one point while tinkering with the trees, I noticed that they weren't spawning as often as they should despite the Print logs telling me they were. Apparently 3/4 of them were spawning in the planet's (horrendously unfinished) core, whoops. #coding #fail #StarDancers #indiedev #solodev #gamedev 0183

Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 01/08/2026I've been sharing #StarDancers for a while and it seems like a fair amount of people are interested in the progress. After I do some optimizations I might spiffy up my #Discord server for people interested in chatting about the game while I develop it. 021
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 01/08/2026All of that work I spent on Galaxy Generation at the start of this project is starting to finally pay off. A lot of this was fairly plug and play, outside of the atmospheric fog and eclipses. It's slowly starting to look like an actual game now. #coding #godot #solodev #indiedev #gamedev 1243
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 30/07/2026The last preview image was BAD bad, so here's an update of the day/night cycle in MUCH better quality! I should really consider some form of quality control. 😅 #coding #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #StarDancers #godot 0153
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 30/07/2026The GIF sucks more than the world's current economic balance, BUT I finally implimented a basic day/night sky system! I'll grab a professional editing software eventually, but not today. 😅 #coding #godot #solodev #StarDancers #indiedev #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiedev 0223
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 27/07/2026I'm lazy as hell, so instead of drawing background walls, each exposed wall piece combines parts of their block-tilesheet to generate new background tiles. This was a nightmare to put together, but so worth it. #coding #godot #solodev #indiedev #gamedev #StarDancers 2153
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Finally got auto-mining prioritization working. I tried doing it a long time ago, but finally came back to it after my two braincells collided for the first time in eons. #coding #indiedev #gamedev #godot #StarDancers #solodev 2175
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 21/07/2026So I WAS going to have a better animated player for Star Dancers, but I QUICKLY discovered why #Terraria does their animations like they do. Unlike Terraria though each limb is it's own layer, with only 1-2 frames each. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #coding #StarDancers 0112
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 20/07/2026When I added in lighting, the game REALLY struggled to keep up with chunks and lighting without severe dips in DPS. I've been hyperfixating on this so much I haven't really done much else since my dip in posts. #coding #gamedev #StarDancers #godot #indiedev 3174
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 23/06/2026In #StarDancers, you'll need to place Solar Panels on as many planets as possible to passively acquire Solar Energy as fuel and crafting materials. After a few HORRIBLE concept designs, I settled for the LITERAL Sunflower on the far left. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #pixelart #godot 0254
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 08/06/2026This next update will almost feel like a different game at this rate. I'll probably favor longer and larger updates from now on over shorter and smaller ones. It's WAY easier and time saving doing it this way, and makes a much bigger impact. 021
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 05/06/2026FLUIDS WORK AND DON'T FILE FOR DIVORCE WITH YOUR CPU WHEN DISTURBED! Also GREATLY increased the chunk system rendering speed! Pretty much spent my whole vacation working on these liquid physics, just in time to go back to work. 😅 #coding #godot #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #StarDancers 0173
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 03/06/2026BOI DO I HATE #WATER!!!! It's stupid wetness and stupid hydration. Stupid flowing mechanics and stupid laws of physics. Stupid piss-making mechanics and stupid need for survival. Screw water, I hope you evaporate. (Video speed 2.5x) #godot #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #StarDancers #programming 1174
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 02/06/2026Mob design for #StarDancers is going to be tricky, so here's a megathread of some #gamedesign #philosophy for me to reference later, and hopefully help some other wannabee #indiedevs to boot! #solodev #gamedev #godot #design #coding 1133
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 01/06/2026My first attempts at fluid physics.... I've got so much work ahead of me..... #coding #godot #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #programming #StarDancers 1254
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 30/05/2026I MAY have re-added Animalese back into my overlay... I MAY also have went a little overboard with the customizations...... Shoutout to @pinguis.bsky.social for providing the sound assets, and inspiration for the customizations! #coding #godot #streamer #vtuber #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #skull 1175
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 26/05/2026Me after waking up from sleeping 12.5 hours: "I should probably take a break tonight from game deving so I don't burn out." Also me: *Opens up Godot as soon as I boot up my computer.* Well, if I crash, I crash. 030
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 24/05/2026I still need to polish it up some more, but the block angle system is at least functional. I don't want to admit how long this took, or the coding war crime I committed to do so. Also, basic workbench is done. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #Godot #StarDancers #pixelart 2144
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 24/05/2026I resonate with the aesthetics of this image way more than I legally should. 040
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 23/05/2026YAAAAAY, MY FIRST "AI SLOP" ACCUSATION! I'M MOVING UP IN THE WORLD BOIIIIIIIIIIII!!!! Seriously though, I respect suspicion like this, even encourage it within reason. 😂 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #ai #aislop 080
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 23/05/2026With some advice from @aiassprite.bsky.social, I'm trying out a different workflow to hopefully optimize workflow and encourage consistency in my style. Nothing screams beginner tools like a stick on a stick. Unga-bunga. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #pixelart #art #StarDancers 3224

Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 22/05/2026Over the past week or so I've been working on adding walls, caves, water basics, and better generation in general. If you have any dogs give them a pet and tell them I said they were a good boy/girl. This is a threat. 🔫🙂 #coding #gamedev #indiedev #programming #godot #solodev #StarDancers 2156
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 21/05/2026Made a LOT of updates to my overlay, including damage and levels for chat and myself. Plus animations. Plus phrases. Plus a bunch of other stuff I can't remember because I've been blindly hyper-focusing on this thing for days now... #godot #overlay #streamer #vtuber #indiedev #solodev #gamedev 0164
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 19/05/2026One of my greatest weaknesses is keeping my projects organized. Creating a new scene? Throw it in 'res://' with the rest of them. I'm smart enough to know how lazy I am, so I'm gonna take a few days to plan out some organization for the future. #godot #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #StarDancers #codestatic.klipy.comSlanderALT: Slander 182
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 18/05/2026I made a LOT of updates to my #godot #overlay last night. -I now primarily speak through tts. -You can just murder me if you get tired of me talking through tts. -Also updated the chat visuals and did a LOT of refactoring and optimizing. #coding #vtuber #streamer #gamedev #indiedev #solodev 0133
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Here's a Biblically Accurate Eggman WIP pic I partially drew a while back, I don't know if I'll finish it or not: 363
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 17/05/2026I'm still on the fence, but I MIGHT get back into #streaming in the near future while I work on pixel art assets for #StarDancers. A short test of my #godot #overlay I made over a year ago. It still works surprisingly. #coding #vtuber #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #streamer 2193
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 16/05/2026I'm FINALLY working on the pixel art for Star Dancers, which has been a long time coming. My art skills are rough, but I'm hoping to improve along the way. Anywho, say hello to the very first 'officially' created sprite for the game, the smelter. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #godot #solodev 0183
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 15/05/2026Man I hate trees. Their stupid trunks and their stupid leaves. Their stupid wood and stupid roots and stupid photosynthesis. #coding #godot #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #StarDancers #programming #trees 2175

Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 10/05/2026I'm FINALLY working on planets again! Instead of making all the art as I go along, I made a simple "template" system where I can do quick color swaps for different block types, then can come back and work on the art later. Good for prototyping! #coding #godot #solodev #indiedev 181
Kryptic Studios: Star Dancers Dev @krypticstudios.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Star Dancers Fun Fact: "Overburn Transit", your standard travel method between planets, literally detonates a Starship's engines. It only works for Star Dancers because one Dancer known as G-102 "Mad-Lad" Gary annoyed reality into rewriting itself. #gamedev #lore #indiedev #solodev #StarDancers 0103
