For sure I have spent like a whole work year in those :D

Wow, this looks really impressive! Will definitely try it out! Thanks!

So I updated to Unity 6.6, and added [AutoStaticsCleanUp] where I had some Singletons, and turned off Domain Reload, and now play mode just....happens. In less than a second. Wow! #gamedev #madewithunity

When you take an evidence-based approach to AI-assisted and agentic software development, a picture emerges. It doesn't serve the narrative the bubble's been built on. But for the tiny % who care what's probably real and what actually works... codemanship.wordpress.com/2026/08/12/a...

AI Software Development – What Does The Data Say?

I’m currently pulling together a bunch of sources – that are mostly recent – on the topic of LLMs and their use in software development. Some are peer-reviewed studies. Some are i…

So, I know I have a lot to learn, but this is version 1 and 2 of my Steam capsules side by side. I think the new one is a little spiffier! Wishlist @ s.team/a/3909790 #gamedev #indiegame #solodev

Updated all my Steam graphics today. The first time I made them all manually and hated every bit of it. I have now learned to artboards in Affinity and exporting them as slices, which made the process much easier! Recommended for other indies who are doing Steam graphics solo. #gamedev #steam

It's honestly so crazy to me that we're facing a technological revolution that could displace millions of jobs in the middle of a housing affordability crisis and every day we talk about whether a trans woman is playing sports or if someone has a non-Anglo name.

This is going to become the device that lets you bend time in my shmup, learning how to use BoxCutter in Blender #gamedev

Trying out my new mean bomber bullet sponge in my demo level, and keep dying a lot, so it definitely did something to raise the difficulty some... I quite often end up having to use Flux Energy to slow down time and show them who's in charge! Wishlist at s.team/a/3909790 #indiegames #gamedev #pcgame

The character movement and reactions are absolutely gorgeous!

Just learned how to use decal projectors and made a variation of the standard decal shader that only projects normal maps. Using it to create tire indentations in the sand behind the main boss in level 1. If you like what you see, wishlist Flux Commander at s.team/a/3909790 #gamedev

Thank you! Oh and yes, I can see the resemblance 😄

Playing around in Blender today, I need a medium size/difficulty enemy for the mid-section of my first level, this is going to be a mean machine in a little while...#gamedev

And that was already answered in the previous message to you, further solidifying the impression that you are just a AI bot farming for engagement.

Øystein Øvrebø @oystein.dev · 19/07/2026

I don't know what you mean by "blocked for gameplay flow". Are you a real person or an AI? Your comments are very formulaic...

Øystein Øvrebø @oystein.dev · 19/07/2026

Showing a little #GameDev flythrough behind the scenes - I've been working on more content for what will be the first level of Flux Commander. The ugly truth - it's all splines and spawners and just enough stuff to look good right below the camera. Smoke and mirrors, eh? Wishlist at s.team/a/3909790

Øystein Øvrebø @oystein.dev · 13/07/2026

Yes, that's the idea. If you could spam it, there would be no challenge. It's a flat rate recharge. Saving it for the harder enemies lets you clear them faster, and scoring higher.

Øystein Øvrebø @oystein.dev · 13/07/2026

Might be - but the feeling of slowing down time to get out of a pickle has to be experienced, it is quite pleasing. Right now it is on a meter, you only have so much of it to start, and it reloads slowly. Maybe later it will also be pickups and/or have other uses.

Øystein Øvrebø @oystein.dev · 13/07/2026

Flux is for bending time, giving you time to evade or attack, it's my alternative to the screen-clearing bombs of old school shoot-em-ups!

Øystein Øvrebø @oystein.dev · 13/07/2026

Summer vacation brings time for #Gamedev, yay! I've added a on-hit shader for cannons and other long-lived enemies to show that you need to shoot them some more! Using the Flux energy gives you bullet time when you need it... #ScreenshotSaturday #SHMUP Wishlist at s.team/a/3909790

Neato! I never had a Gameboy, but Game and Watch Octopus, Oil Panic, Mario Bros (loading crates of bottles onto a car and not looking like Mario Bros at all, and Donkey Kong were the ones available in my neighborhood.

"Fishing Boy", not "Fishing Game" of course...

This was the first game I owned, "Fishing Game" by Gakken. This was in the era of Game and Watch, and all the kids who had one were extremely popular to hang with. Good times were had! www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WES...

I'm untangling the kind of bugs where the devs gave up on understanding and let the mountain of solution-shaped code through, with config and data that looked good enough to them. I get that AI isn't the problem here really, it is the carelessness. And you learn to care by being the one to fix it.

000

Øystein Øvrebø @oystein.dev · 02/06/2026

Agree. This is the kind of thing you have to learn to value from being responsible for running and maintaining software for some extended time, I believe. And I've been fixing Ai slop bugs other people committed all day so I am a little cranky.

Working on a refresh of all the Steam graphics. Gave up on using Krita, the text tools are just...not pleasant to work with. Giving Affinity a try, it's free which suits my budget! Like it a lot so far, have to get used to things. Definitely makes it easier to work on text and layout! #gamedev

It's really hard to read the docs and figure out how Unity UI Toolkit and the Input System is meant to be used. All the docs spend A LOT of time talking about what you need to do if you have a mix of UITK and UGUI. It really is a lot simpler in the latest versions, but the docs need to be updated.

Øystein Øvrebø @oystein.dev · 03/05/2026

Weekend is #gamedev time! Ended up doing a bit more styling on the main menu, now using transitions when button focus changes, added shadows to the texts, and also a nice fadeout on exit. Time to move on to other scene transitions! #indiedev #steam s.team/a/3909790

Yeah, that could be something to try out later, cool idea. It's always just a tradeoff with working on all the other 2000 things or keep iterating!

Trying out variations for my new main menu - red fonts and buttons seem more "game-y" than the black ones for some reason. #gamedev #shmup #games #steam Wishlist: s.team/a/3909790

I like that way of looking at it, and recognize the same feeling. I think we are just in that phase of this, and I hope it will settle into something that isn't taking us over but becomes another tool. One of the things I despise about it is just the greed that drives it.

Øystein Øvrebø @oystein.dev · 25/04/2026

Excellent! I did not know that and will immediately start using it!
