Uploaded my prototype to Itch, my first ever release! uillyth.itch.io/verdigris-va... Now you can check out the fast and smooth antigrav vehicle controls and the beautiful environment without all the encoding artifacts. Also includes a radio with songs I made :) #GameDev #GodotEngine #Godot

Just started playing #oddfauna. I don't usually go in for building/crafting games but I couldn't resist the graphics and general vibe. Unfortunately I am utterly clueless 🤣 Should I be feeding my Terrabeast? Is it good or bad to base build on its back? Any tips? #cozygame #indiegame #wholsomegames

It's been a very hot day here an #NGF26 and my poor little #macmini has been getting very hot 🔥 I remembered a trick ol ZX Spectrum programmers used to cool them down. Not sure it works here though 😁 #indiedev #indiegame

Been a very busy day here at the #NorwichGamesFestival Lots of people playing #Shorticulture and lots of great feedback. Coming to the end of the day now but I will be back for more tomorrow. #NGF26 #indiegame #indiedev

Happy #screenshotsaturday!! Final push before #NGF26! I have been adding surface detail to better sell the idea of old derelict machines. A process I call greeblification! #indiedev #norwichgamesfestival #godot #indiegame

Super stoked that Memory's Reach is in the Thinky Direct! I'm showing a brand new area and a new holo-puzzle type (which you can catch a glimpse of in the trailer below). Check out the direct in a couple of weeks!

1 week until #NGF26! I made the final changes to the demo level layout last night. Still time for tweaking and cosmetic improvements. But no more major changes or additions. #indiegame #indiedev #godotengine #norwichgamesfestival #gaming

Don't miss the chance to play Shorticulture and many other great games at #NGF26. Be great to see you there! #indiegame #indiedev #godotengine #solodev

Another #gototengine game with some similar themes to Shorticulture. Will definitely be checking it out.

Peter Dale @petedale.bsky.social · 14/05/2026
With all this talk of vibe coding I thought I'd try Cat GPT (Gluttonous Purring Thing). Not sure it's a productivity win. Most suggestions involve feeding, opening doors and scratching that spot under his chin. Then there's all the fluff in the keyboard 🙄 #indiedev #coding #devtools #godotengine

It was the regular Cambridge Game Makers meetup last night so I took along a build of Shorticulture on my trusty deck. Got some useful feedback and also caught up on the progress of some other great indie projects including - Super Spelling Ducks and Resolute Bay. #indiegame #indiedev #godotengine

So it's #trailertuesday and there is a brand new trailer for my #indiegame Shorticulture. More updates coming soon, but for now just sit back and enjoy this teaser. #godotengine #solodev bsky.app/profile/play...

My son just got a Switch 2, which means I just got an OG Switch 😁 What should I play? I have always fancied giving Luigis Mansion a go. And people say there is a #pickmin vibe about my game #shorticulture - so maybe I should play that? Any suggestions? #nintendo #switch #whattoplay

It's true. I was there and proud to have been part of the first ever @debugmag.com festival. But I didn't realize there would be a Cambridge enclave. I just set up on the first available pitch 🤣

Love the look of this character. That's, what has drawn me in to check this one out. Realizing now as a #gamedev I should be analysing exactly what makes me, and others, click the link. Any suggestions?

Maybe, I just clicked on the "Release Demo" button for The Abbess Garden and maybe you can play it now 😱 store.steampowered.com/app/3873090/... (it's a cozy and historical gardening game ;) ) #indiedev #cozygame #gamedev

I have been playing the beautiful Spring Falls by @sparsegamedev.bsky.social for inspiration. Obviously some thematic similarities, but it also has mechanic involving making connections. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Peter Dale @petedale.bsky.social · 27/07/2025
Still prototyping. The idea is that flowers convert sunlight into energy which is transferred into the circuits of ancient machines. Playing with different ways of visualising that and mechanics around blocking/unblocking the sunlight. #godotengine #indiedev #gamedev #blender3d #godot #indiegame

Great looking #Godot project here. Will be following this one closely.

Well this is exciting!! I love the idea of being able to do a bit of modeling and animation work on my iPad in a coffee shop. Can't wait to see how it comes together #blender3d #indiedev

Peter Dale @petedale.bsky.social · 15/07/2025
I freely admit that this is an ugly mess. But it is also the very first step in prototyping a new way of interacting with plants in my #indiegame #shorticulture. Hopefully this will come together over the next few days and I will share something more meaningful. #indiedev #godotengine

I need to work on my tooling, so I'm always keen to see what other #godot users have done. Looking forward to playing with this one.

Peter Dale @petedale.bsky.social · 12/07/2025
I have zero context on this, but I just love the animation style. Hopefully there will be more of this soon.

Happy #screenshotsaturday! I am in the process of reimagining my #indiegame with a simpler more abstract graphical style. Something more along the lines of #monumentvalley. The main reason for this is readability. There is too much going on in the current demo that distracts from the puzzles.
050
Peter Dale @petedale.bsky.social · 11/07/2025
I have been experimenting with using synplant 2 as a #sounddesign tool for my #indiegame. It is capable of making the kind of organic otherworldly sounds I need. Also the plant vibe kinda fits with #shorticulture. #indiedev #solodev

Looks like a useful tool for all us #godot devs.
