played a little with sprites and heroes abilities for today, it's being fun to prototype this. I'm not sure if this will be a final game, I just want to have fun after finishing Gambit's Escape next fest demo and before going back to finish the last 5% of the game #playdate #sologame #indiegame

saying again, great article, thank you so much! I'm so happy to read such a great and high quality article, and these days have been quite chaotic around here, so it really gives me a boost! Go play pongerground, folks, making this game was such a great experience, made with a lot of effort and love

Matheus Nícolas @matheusnicolas.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

the crazy thing is seeing experienced people not being able to be accepted even 1 seniority role below the one they played before, interviews nowadays are crazy, it’s a huge lack of soft skills I bet

000

Matheus Nícolas @matheusnicolas.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

one thing I'm sure of, the interviewer doesn't like you and starts making things difficult. I have 3 friends looking for jobs in software engineering and the interviews are worse than that, weird question, no answers are take in consideration, there’s also ego for the part of the interviewers

Been a while since I did a #screenshotsaturday huh? I've been hard at work improving AVE VIRIATE: a new production line allows villagers to pick acorns and turn them into bread! They now get hungry and tired, and try to eat and sleep to fulfill their needs as well! #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

10 - You can flag the cards and the recommendation is: use yellow for guesses and red for certains.

000

Matheus Nícolas @matheusnicolas.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

7 - Cards with the number 0 are villagers, your goal is to find them on the board and save them. 8 - The frames at the bottom center of the screen show how many villagers you need to save in the level. 9 - Cards with numbers 1 and 2 are enemy cards, avoiding them, as they deal equivalent damage.

100

Matheus Nícolas @matheusnicolas.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

3 - When you flip a card, its real value will be in the top-left corner. 4 - And the sum of neighboring cards will remain at the bottom-right. 5 - When focusing on a card, its neighboring cards will be highlighted with dashed outlines. 6 - Cards hide 3 possible different values: 0, 1 and 2

Matheus Nícolas @matheusnicolas.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

Here's a little glimpse of what's coming to Gambit's Escape. If you like Minesweeper, this game is for you! 1 - At the start of each round, each card will show the sum of its neighbors. 2 - The sum of neighboring cards will always be in the bottom-right corner of the cards. 3 - continue...
