Finally got around to implement Ink-based dialogs again. Really not sure at this point in which form to embed this into the interface, I do want to make this playable without mouse at some point. Gonna check out some best practices... #godot #sologamedev #indiedev

Found out you actually can prepare .import files with desired import parameters, and Godot will just pick them up and do the rest. That offers some intriguing workflow possibilities, like presetting looping or bpm values for audio files exported from DAWs via script, hmmm... #godot #indiegamedev

Had some fun (between all the bugfixing) to work on some pixel art for objects, giving the maps a sense of place :] And I’m realizing complementary colors and lighting can do a lot of lifting for a palette that has just a few to many gray and drab tones 😅️ #screenshotsaturday #indiegamedev #godot

Yeah, somebody told me at some point making games is _hard_, and after a day spent with fixing bugs, I totally feel it 😅️ But it feels super rewarding at the same time! #sologamedev #gamedev

Nipsky @nipsky.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Noticed I've increasingly adopted turning more and more log messages about non-critical bugs and inconsistencies or even just warnings into full-blown debug asserts because my logs have becoming super crowded and I'm always too lazy to look dig thru them 😅 #godot #indiegamedev #solodev

Made a fair bit of progress today implementing in-game cutscenes via my JSON script system :] Finer controlling the timing of specific script events will need a bit more work of though. #godot #indiegamedev #sologamedev

Nipsky @nipsky.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Had some fun adding a scanner mode. Might turn out to be just agimmick... or a central game play element, we’ll see :D #Godot #IndieGameDev #SoloDev

So happy I set a shortcut for "Reload Current Project" at one point. Godot has been working out great for me with C#, but oof, you really have to reload the editor often because something becomes desynchronized 🙈️ Hoping the editor support gets better down the line 😇️ #Godot #Gamedev

Nipsky @nipsky.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Okay, picking a Amiga Public Domain game is probably cheating a bit. "Hanger 18", an adventure/shooter game from 1995 really thrilled me as a child. It used the joystick for moving and the mouse for aiming, and featured sprites ripped from Syndicate. Dreaming of remaking it in Godot one day...

Took me a few days of weeding out nasty bugs, but finally got map transitions with full world/item persistence working :] #godot #indiegamedev #solodev

Feels a bit nerdy to set up a player component that takes frame change events from the player sprite manager, queries the player tilemap scanner component, and then tells the sound manager to play step sounds... Guess I’m firmly in composite design territory by now, love it! 😅️ #godot #gamedev

Whelp, spent the whole day fixing my save system; got it almost done, then got sidetracked with some structural optimizing that ended up spreading over pretty much all my code base. Result: save system broken again 😂 #indiegamedev

Honestly, Nightdive getting in the best of the community to make a new expansion is absolutely their modus operandi at this point. Looking forward to seeing what they've been cooking, and who was involved.

Warning to my past and future self: Implement loading/saving early, not just randomly down the line, I repeat… Seriously, if there’s one element in all my projects that fills me with sheer terror, it’s this. So annoying to debug. Maybe I should finally use a testing framework 🫠️ #Godot #IndieGameDev

Nipsky @nipsky.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

So, turns out C# standard events and collections are much faster compared to Godot’s equivalent classes? Guess I’m off rewriting heavy-duty parts of my projects… 😅️ I only ever use Signals by code, anyway, and Godot’s collections are only really necessary when exporting to the editor 🤷‍♀️️ #Godot

I took part in a game jam last weekend! (my first one) The jam theme was "Between the Lines" and Media Literacy in general and we (me + 3 ppl) made a funny little game about Psychological Dark Patterns and affecting groups of people with them. Here's a link: bruttosozial.itch.io/patterns-of-...

Finally added my debugging infrastructure to my top down retro adventure/shooter main project, "The Envoy", as well. Should make debugging and adding scripts and content much easier :] #godot #gamedev #indiedev

Getting my JSON-based script system into shape, which will be a core part for many of my now + future projects. Also finally got around to adding some robust in-game debugging infrastructure for easier monitoring what all my wicket subsystems do. Digging through logs is annoying xD #Godot #Solodev

Well well, checking out bsky again after a long hiatus. Thinking about making this account mainly about posting about my ever-changing and never-finished Godot game projects :)

Currently working my way through a long historical list of ~1000 important movies and oof, best decision ever 😱 didn't even think lists could be that motivating to me...

Nipsky @nipsky.bsky.social · 09/10/2025

Reminding myself it’s totally fine (and probably not that uncommon?) to work on like 6 or 7 games simultaneously, and never really finishing anything 😅 At least I’ve learned to aggressively milk each project for reusable code and submodules, so I need to touch basic stuff less and less by now...

What's a game you feel only you have played? Practically Worms 2 with the pixel graphics of Worms 1, but specifically for AGA Amigas. From 1997, when the platform was already pretty dead, but Team 17 honored their roots 🫡 And painting levels in Deluxe Paint was a lot of fun!
