This week in Guerilla #Gamedev - accepting I'm bad at pixel art, then spending <more than a week actually> on a 3D -> 2D pipeline in Blender. #pixelart #indiedev

The Luddites' actual argument was that automated looms meant expensive, skilled workers were being replaced with literal children, who were then getting maimed and killed, and maybe this is bad.

This week I made the world a bit more vibrant, and did some code plumbing to make the environment skinnable. I learned how to implement the dragon curve in a shader! #godot #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #traceroot

Put a lot of effort in this week trying to make the different design ideas in Trace Root more cohesive, both graphically and in how the two paradigms fit together. I'm really thrilled with the results and can't wait to get a little bit more polish in and release a demo! #Godot #screenshotsaturday

This week I spent a lot of time diving into UI design to try and clean up the overall aesthetic, while also doing a little technical design to make the two paradigms gel better. Step by step it's approaching demo status. store.steampowered.com/app/4352590/Trace_Root/ #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

Gave PicoCAD2 a try-- Really interesting workflow but it's just not quite there in terms of what I would need to integrate it into TR. If it could export a rigged model with multiple animations I'd be in heaven #PicoCAD #Godot #Indiegamedev

I had a lot of conversations at last week’s pre-PAX Boston Gamedev Week that mostly went “so what are you working on?” “Well i was doing <cool thing> at <cool place> but then the money dried up so now I’m unemployed. You?” “Yeah, same”

Just got my store page up for Trace Root- a twin-stick bullet-hell with turn-based RPG battles (!?) that I've been working on solo for a while now: store.steampowered.com/app/4352590/... It's a trying time to be a game dev, and wishlists / reskeets mean more than you could possibly imagine.

Since I've been putting a lot of time into little aesthetic things these last few weeks, I decided to do a little before / after comparison for #ScreenshotSaturday

Miredly @mired.space · 08/11/2025

Happy #ScreenshotSaturday! This week I've spent a lot of time thinking about the readability of powerup deactivation effects- I want it to be easy to tell what's going on when everything else is exploding.

Ok, I guess I'll make one too- 10 games to get to know me. Kind of a weird collection of stuff I think, but all 10 of these things have had a really profound effect on me, either purely as works of art or how I look at games as a medium.

An image depicting the covers or logos of 10 video games.

The games listed:

Nuclear Throne
Manifold Garden
Final Fantasy Tactics
Final Fantasy XI
Final Fantasy VII
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
1000XResist
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Nier: Automata
Cave Story

After a couple of weeks of refactoring and bug squashing, I finally got a little time to play with aesthetics this week! Just in time for #screenshotsaturday

Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

There's a lot of weird stuff about 2025 so far, but I was not prepared for how sizeable the population of people would be who suddenly become deeply steeped in Japanese horse-racing lore because of a game where you race anime girls with horse ears and tails.

Scotti's. It was the perfect roadside burger joint- Footlong Chili-dogs like you wouldn't believe. Good kielbasa too. One day they just couldn't do it anymore and sold the place, and the very first day the new owner fucked with the chili recipe. It shut down within a year.
