just spend the last few weeks trying to get a grip at mobile development, finish two apps in the process: - a chronological diary-thing/offline twitter clone - an RSS client with an embedding-based recommendation system was quite fun, will prob keep going. #mobiledev #jetpackcompose

i am the worst capitalist ever, i hate marketing or naming prices for my projects, i just like releasing random stuff and hoping somebody eventually stumbles upon it

000

lucas ângelo :: ahopness @lucasangelo.dev · 05/07/2026

the more i think about it, the more i realize that the cgc was an insane project, no idea on how i manage to pull this off or if i could ever pull it off again. it’s gonna be a while b4 we see a volume 2 come out...

oh, i totally forgot to post this, but recently i ported my GodotRetro vfx pack to godot's compositor api, they're now available at the godot asset store. the old shader materials are still bundled in btw. store.godotengine.org/asset/lucas-... #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine #godot #vfx

now that my game collection is done i wanted to try my hand at writing my own engine. had this itch some time ago where i wanted to try writing an foward+ renderer in c#, no idea if can actually do it, though, seems tough

just finished development on my next game btw, releasing it in the next few weeks, stay tuned

lucas ângelo :: ahopness @lucasangelo.dev · 24/05/2026

i think this is the first time im actually proud of the code i made for a game, virtually zero bugs and zero spaghetti, cant wait to release this

Same game, 3 different years, 3 different iterations, 3 different engines

still thinking about that Godot HDDAGI PR......

020

lucas ângelo :: ahopness @lucasangelo.dev · 28/02/2026

Now features one feature I can't live without: - Instance Shader Uniforms This has been a life saver for a project I'm currently doing, to the point that I can't imagine it being done in any other engine!

000

lucas ângelo :: ahopness @lucasangelo.dev · 25/02/2026

Features I have no idea why Godot still doesn't have: - Carousel Buttons - 3D Debug Draw - On-Screen Debug Messages Was gonna put virtual joystick on the list but apparently it is being implemented on the next release, which is awesome

lucas ângelo :: ahopness @lucasangelo.dev · 23/02/2026

Most classes in Godot tend to be so simple and clean, it still bugs me how compositor effects can be such a hassle to set up. Creating a new effect feels like 90% boilerplate and guessing compared to simple screen reading gdshaders. Tbf thats prob on purpose tho.

tbh toyota's fluorite game engine seems quite interesting, mixing google's flutter and filament into one package feels just right

Semester isn't over yet at my uni but I already started working on the last project in the collection 💥💥 hope to finish b4 the end of the year

lucas ângelo :: ahopness @lucasangelo.dev · 01/11/2025

I have a feeling that this last title will be the hardest to finish. It's an idea I've had in my head for about 3 years, and in all of those years that idea never fully materialized. It was a pretty stupid decision of mine to leave the hardest one for last...

lucas ângelo :: ahopness @lucasangelo.dev · 01/11/2025

thinking about making a game with monogame before finishing the game dev adventures of mine

010

lucas ângelo :: ahopness @lucasangelo.dev · 01/11/2025

i believe it will take a while until the last game in the collection is done, i got virtually no time to work on it rn (blame my uni), the current estimation is mid December, no promises tho

000

lucas ângelo :: ahopness @lucasangelo.dev · 01/11/2025

i really want to unify all of the games in the collection into one apk, having a bunch of different app listings on the play store is really bothering me.

000

lucas ângelo :: ahopness @lucasangelo.dev · 01/11/2025

about 3 years ago i released a little horror game called 'GIFT' that was removed from the play store due to a lack of updates. i always wanted to make a sequel to that game and now that Full Metal Syncope is released, i totally see it as GIFT's spiritual sequel, both being these weird walking sims.

I made a couple of songs for this! It's a cool little atmospheric game where you walk around and interact with stuff, uncover dialogue, secrets, and the sort. And I'm pretty proud of the tunes I did for this one!

lucas ângelo :: ahopness @lucasangelo.dev · 31/10/2025

Full Metal Syncope achieved **200 pre-registrations** on the Google Play Store! Thanks everyone who pre-registered it, I'll be releasing the game later today, stay tuned. #gamedev #indiedev #mobilegaming #art

ok, time for another round of #screenshotsaturday. This is 'Tidal Hell', a zero-player war sim game where you engineer weapons and send off your pawns to watch them fight. w/ music by @jarrencrist.bsky.social <333 check it out @ play.google.com/store/apps/d... #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

Thinking about learning Jetpack Compose after I'm done with these game dev projects, I genuinely find mobile development fun

000

lucas ângelo :: ahopness @lucasangelo.dev · 21/10/2025

one of the reasons that i cancelled this project was due to constrains on the vfx side, im really happy to see motion vectors being finally added to godot 4.6 after all this time, now i can finally do some crazy post processing effects for my next game

100

lucas ângelo :: ahopness @lucasangelo.dev · 20/10/2025

I'm a big fan of anti-marketing, just releasing the game when it's ready, no announcement, no anticipation, just consumption, but unfortunately nobody cares about your projects if you launch them this way, shame.

000

lucas ângelo :: ahopness @lucasangelo.dev · 18/10/2025

i think i just finished developing my next game, might take a week b4 i released it but im happy with the results :)))

000

lucas ângelo :: ahopness @lucasangelo.dev · 18/10/2025

for today's #screenshotsaturday, i'll showcase 'Castration', an horror game i made where you confront complex entities inside a reality bending prison. check it out @ play.google.com/store/apps/d... #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

Weird, Godot android Gradle builds feel faster in 4.5 and I can't pinpoint exactly why.

ok so, my portifolio/website is now up on the world wide web, go check it out! lucasangelo.dev #indieweb

ok, plans b4 exam season start: - publish updates to all of my previous games on the playstore (already done, just need to upload) - finish my new personal website (domain secured) - remaster my first mobile game (gift) and re-relase it (prob will take a while)

lucas ângelo :: ahopness @lucasangelo.dev · 06/09/2025

tbh i want to finish another 3 game dev projects b4 the end of the year, i wonder if i can do it...
