New dev diary for Gunlocked 2. www.indiedb.com/games/gunloc... I've been sharing posts about why I'm choosing to do a #Kickstarter, but I really wanted to expand on that long-form. There are costs to the decisions we make as gamedevs, both obvious and hidden. #indiegame #gamedev #devlog

Gunlocked 2 Dev Diary: Kickstarting Something Better feature
When good enough isn’t good enough. Why a typically self-funded indie developer decided to try crowd-funding, and what it means for Gunlocked 2.

Update: asking people to wishlist my game continues to be the best way to get people to wishlist my game. Also, we're over 500 outstanding wishlists, which isn't bad for an early in the process game with no real trailer and not much done art wise. #indiegamedev #solodev

Many thanks to @ericbomb.bsky.social and @nightblade.bsky.social for running this. I'm not sure when but making a game for blind gamers became a bucket list item for me. Now I've had a golden opportunity and everyone who reviewed #ZeroState gave me ideas for how to make something more complete

Work was really stressful this Week, which wore down on my motivation to work on "Realm Fight"...😒 But I managed to finish the new UI Implementation. Also changed the Compendium a bit, so it's not too overwhelming and clustered.🤔 What do ya'll think? #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #CardGame #RealmFight

Finally got ladders and scene transitions working for Jack! So far he's been very bad at following directions, but now he can officially move from room to room, which is cool because the game would have sucked if he couldn't do that! Happy Saturday! #pixelart #indiedev #gameboy

Added screen borders to my #arthurian #roguelike. #CORT #pixelart #procgen #gamedev #indiedev
Pixelart, grid-based, roguelike screenshot. Bright colors. A castle is in a wide field of grass. A forest divides the map. On two sides of the screen are beehives surrounded by brightly colored flowers. A town and farmland sit in the bottom right. Surrounding the whole screen is a white border with vines of red flowers on top of it. All the pixel art is single color and inspired by medieval marginalia.

Well, dang. The Command & Conquer series has basically been kept alive by its fans for years, but I didn't expect EA to just hand them all full source code and Steam Workshop support after all these years. Good on them. Feels similar to what Valve just did with TF2

Does anyone have ideas for villagers that would match the game's vibe and art style? We're exploring designs that fit, but they need to be simple since they'll appear small in-game. Any suggestions? #gamedev #cozygame #steam #indiegame

#Roguelike grind continues. Added "giant" tree variations that take up most of the tree space in the forest. It looks more visually interesting (I hope. Does it?) Also made the path edges ragged. #SoloDev #IndieDev #GameDev #GodotEngine #TheKhalifasDaughter
A forest full of small and big trees with purple leaves. A dusty red/brown floor, and a beaten, grizzled brown path runs through it.
