Spent the past 2 days perplexed as hell on why my player.go wouldn't collide with the tilemap. Tried everything under the sun only to realize (just now) that I hadn't added the collision conponent to the player.go That's gamedev #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #indiegamedev

It is possible to create Drum & Bass/Jungle in Furnace Tracker. It was right there in the demos. How easy is it? Guess we'll have to find out...

I have been learning how to use Furnace Tracker and I'm fucking dying inside, aching to make Drum and Bass on it. I dont wanna go back to Reaper, I dont want to Buy Renoise;poor. I just want a good DAW I can chop up beats and write the notes in a tracker manner! #gamedev #solodev #musicproduction

I forgot to mention that it was NUMBER 14 OUT OF 51. POSITION 14 OUT OF 51. It is a HUGE IMPROVEMENT over last year's disqualification due to an uneven pixel grid #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #Defold #gamejam

Navi 3310 was rated 14/51 The main criticism it got was that it was too punishing. When you die, you get sent back to Level 1. I'll add 3 lives, and maybe extra levels today. Then I'll start working on the Deluxe version with colour! #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #Defold

Its 148am. I just had a fever nightmare that unless I wore the same clothes "seed" I was wearing before the cold that I would die/never wake up. I woke up shouting the Harland themesong. Yeah, for real. Drank my bottle of water like I have been trekking the Sahara for millennia.

I think the universe is playing a joke on me. I was about to finish some art for the final chapter of my game, Left On Read, a visual novel for the Toxic Yuri Jam but I have a cold. Hopefully I'm better in the morning. #gamedev #solodev #indiegamedev

I've been tinkering with the cinematic intro for months. Time to show it here. This is the first thing the player sees when starting a new game. I'm trying to start the story and give the player a "why". Let's me know what you think. Sound: On 🔊 #indiegame #gamedev #sologamedev s.team/a/3470490

Today I said goodbye to Mika. After an infection caused during mating season, She couldn't be treated and was bleeding too much. She was put down. It has been a wonderful 10 years with her by my side. StarBirth Researcher EX will be dedicated to her. I love her a lot. bsky.app/profile/oner...

I've been deep in the Pixel Perfect Rendering rabbit hole in #Defold. I forgot how euphoric it feels when you implement a game mechanic. Implemented a Rail Cannon in place of the Base Bomb and tomorrow will do a Shield Burst Mechanic for Astro Impact! De_Make #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #indiegame

Back in December 2023, I replaced my laptop fan because it was too noisy. I placed the old one in a drawer and as of 2 weeks ago, my replacement fan became too noisy. I dont have any money so I swapped it with the old one. It has whisper levels of noise. Years of inactivity probably fixed it.

My brain works funny. In the midst of typing out the problem, I figured out the solution as soon as I finished typing the problem on the Defold Discord. Multiple Code Snippets provides as well as a video clip
