Momo Azami @momoazami.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Learned a little 2D animation today. #indiedev #screenshotsaturday 0215
Momo Azami @momoazami.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Added the shell collection so the player can keep track of what shells they've collected. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev 1133
Momo Azami @momoazami.bsky.social · 09/09/2026We did a gamejam and made this cozy game about collecting shells in a brain-teaser 2D/3D space. I love what we made in such a short time. #indiegame #indiedev #gamejam #gamedev 0154
Momo Azami @momoazami.bsky.social · 01/09/2026haha, I just got faked out by a sound effect in my game. It is an insect flying past your head and I had the game running in the background and was like... oh no there's a mosquito in the house! 🦟 011
Momo Azami @momoazami.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Throw-away prototype - Hex Terrarum momoazami7.itch.io/hex-terrarum...momoazami7.itch.io 010
Momo Azami @momoazami.bsky.social · 09/08/2026After a little break, I picked up my little side game prototype again. Its not much yet but it has a playable core game loop. 020
Momo Azami @momoazami.bsky.social · 03/06/2026I've spent all day looking at .trace file performance analysis. Its certainly interesting but also eye-cross inducing. Show me something fun you did with your game today. 000
Momo Azami @momoazami.bsky.social · 29/05/2026I want to just play so in my ideal world, a tutorial wouldn't be needed because the controls are standard/expected (wasd movement, left-click interact) but some games have complex mechanics that just won't be obvious. Then I prefer as I go help that can be turned off like in Civ VI. 110
Momo Azami @momoazami.bsky.social · 29/05/2026These are just 3 common patterns I have seen in games. Kill It With Fire 2 has a mandatory tutorial level you have to play through before you can play with other players. A few demos I played recently have an optional Tutorial in the game menu. Minecraft just drops you in world, go. 100
Momo Azami @momoazami.bsky.social · 29/05/2026To answer for me, I think I prefer games that either explain in-game if the controls are not typical, like doesn't 'wasd' for movement and left-click to interact, but only the first play through. I really want controls to be obvious so I just figure it out. This is an open question for our game rn. 000
Momo Azami @momoazami.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Game design question - tutorial VS in-game as you go instructions on first play VS just figure it out? Which do you prefer in games? If you are a game dev, which does your game do? #indiedev #gamedev 4102
Momo Azami @momoazami.bsky.social · 22/05/2026What do you use for rapid prototyping game ideas? I am curious what you use for doing fast, throw-away prototypes of game ideas. I have been using Three.js to play with game ideas for our current game and its working pretty well. I am wondering what else is out there. 010
Momo Azami @momoazami.bsky.social · 19/05/2026I take 4 days off working on the game (to work backstage crew for a show) and my brain today is wait what do we do again? Game who? 🤷♀️ 010
Momo Azami @momoazami.bsky.social · 13/05/2026What's up with my username? I know, it seems random but really it means something. Momo - short for Momozoa, the name of our little game studio. Azami - my gamer name since forever. 010
Momo Azami @momoazami.bsky.social · 13/05/2026Hi there bluesky! I did it, I escaped from big tech and am making a game with a little group of amazing people. 030
