this took me a second, but when it clicked I laughed until I cried.

Learning lots of hard lessons about Blender this week

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.

I think the simple answer is they think spelling out the full word will get them algorithmically shadowbanned like “suicide” does on youtube or tiktok and everyone is algorithm-brained.

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

Teenage me would have said "surely they'd look at the title and the hollow look in these kids' eyes and think something was sus enough to at least look it up" but adult me has seen enough shit to know that no, you're right.

Miredly @mired.space · 16/05/2026

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.

I never got to use Awaitable, but does it make exception handling easier? I remember even with Unitask, it was easy to accidentally eat your exceptions, so you could have some really difficult bugs to track down if you weren't meticulous in your setup.

I experienced all of the above the last time I used Unity and this solved it all: github.com/Cysharp/UniT... NB: then you have a "threading a cancellation token through all of your function calls" workflow.

I'm choosing to believe this means my year will achieve the comparative level of success as that movie, rather than emulate the plot of the movie.

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.

I wonder what on earth would have inspired them to think that. Maybe they think AI tooling makes it easy and aren't worried about ever making money?

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
