Here's a few little tricks I used in my game! 👽 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev First Trick: I separate the player's physics from their model briefly after jumping so that I can give her a slight anticipation without taking control away. In the vid, the sphere is the real player! More in the replies!

Enjoy Infamous when you can! The PS3 was one of my last consoles before I went full PC, so I'm hanging out for Second Son when it's finally available on PC

Oooh, nobody's mentioned Slice and Dice yet? Rougelite dice rolling game where each class has different abilities to roll. Enemies show moves first, so it becomes a mini puzzle to figure out how you want to assign your dice. Tons of things to unlock, and has a free demo! tann.itch.io/slice-dice

Shoutout to the tunnel vision game dev gives you. Made a whole checkout system where the NPC brings their items up, I scan it, give them their money, and they leave. Real proud of it. Then I got asked when they give me money. I was paying them to buy things from the store. I'm so good at this.

the more unfinished projects you have the better. the bigger your graveyard the more strange zombies you can sew together from the body parts. do not feel self-conscious about it. just keep making.

A comic about a super buff guy doing squats at the gym

Panel 1.
He is squatting down and counting '4'

Panel 2.
He stands back up, looking satisfied.

Panel 3.
He squats back down counting '5' but is suddenly surprised by a loud 'bleeeoop' sound.

Panel 4.
He stands confused saying 'what the heck?' as he looks down at the 'sticky keys' message box that has materialised in front of him.

Thinking about that time that Game Freak put an NPC that doesn't move on this bridge, because otherwise the player stepping on that tile would have triggered the cave entrance that is *underneath* the bridge at the same position (source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdFQ... )

Great news! Did you think there was anything in particular that helped turn it around, or did you just have to wait out Steam's processes?

NullSweat @nullsweat.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Oooh, that *is* lovely. I wonder if there's meant to be a practical reason for it, like mating displays or some magical version of gull wings being darker on top to make them blend in when viewed from above.

I imagine there's a certain amount of self- filtering for a game like this - it's going to attract people who already know what they like, but everything I've heard is very good!

this is very counter-productive toward my "i need to finish a game" goal, but I've always wanted a project that becomes an outlet for gamedev as a true hobby, a thing that i make where the final product is less important than the process of making it

Absolutely agree, there's a lot of demand that games either have endless sequels or are supported indefinitely with post launch updates. That said, I know that both Sherlock Holmes and IIRC Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy both had public demand to keep going after the authors wanted to move on!

Video games are the only entertainment medium I can think of where there's widespread and uncritical demand that IPs just keep going perpetually for the sake of it, even if there's no good reason to or if the people behind it have no interest in doing so.
