Another consideration in game dev that I just realized is... Math Balancing or Economy Though I don't have actual money currency in the game, energy and water levels in my case ARE the currency. How do you all approach balancing economy? #gamedev #indegamedev #indiegame #defold #gamedesign

There's another side of gamedev that I don't think is talked about enough. That is... designing the store page. Fellow indie devs, how much effort do you put into designing your game's store page? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #design #gamelisting #creativedesign

Ooh, that's a great idea! And perhaps slowing down the music (similar to overcooked music speeding up) or glitching it could do as indicator too 🤔

One thing I learned about good games in general is that they have clear action feedback. And here's my attempt in deliberately adding a tiny visual feedback indicator for low battery. Any rule of thumb for where and when feedback is needed? #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #defold #gamejam

Testing out dithering shader. AI assisted cuz I still don't really understand shading language 😅 Anyone knows any tips or tricks to learn shaders? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #defold #gamejam #shader

Starting another self-led jam. Challenging myself to build something in 3D for the first time ever. And gosh, it really is more complex to dev than 2D game 😅. Here's a sneak peek of what I have so far. Can you guess what the jam theme is? 👀 #GameDev #GameJam #3D #Defold

The cue is always the same, but players learn 4 cycling stage rules to solve the puzzle. I just finished the game and made a post about it — would love your thoughts after you give it a try!

Aaand... the game jam is complete! One thing I learnt from this jam: designing level is not as easy as I thought. There are many considerations to think about, and lots of testing. I'm open to feedback and critiques. Give it a try :) 👉 milicen.itch.io/will-o-mind #GameDev #IndieDev #GameJam

I added a tiny indicator for when the rules will change, so they can find it out and time their jumps and position. But they'll still need to explore first before knowing which rules govern which "stage". I got a new update on the game showing this too :)

Got the looks in now :) And a tiny demo of the game play. #GameDev #IndieDev #GameJam #Defold #GameArt

Since the game basically only has a single level, I can say the rules change mid-level. Still triggered by jumps though haha. Maybe the player is secretly a rule-bender 👀

Thanks for the insight. I just created another prototype for this, and I must say, it does make me (as a player) think about how I could use the different rules to get me to where I want.

Another level prototype. This time playing around with different level effects (reverse gravity, bouncy, wind force), instead of changing the level layouts. Think I can combine them instead 🤔 #GameDev #IndieDev #GameJam #Defold #Prototype

Somewhat. In the prototype, I have 6 slightly different layouts that cycles every jump. But now that you mention readability, perhaps a better way might be to have the same layouts and only vary the workings of each layout (e.g one has obstacles / moving platform / reverse gravity / etc) 🤔

Working on a self-led mini game jam. Theme is "One level, but constantly changing". The idea is the level morphs every time the player jumps. #GameDev #IndieDev #GameJam #Defold
