I'm developing a new game for the Poki website. This version has only 10 levels; the full version will have 50 levels and various characters. Any feedback is welcome! Game: poki.com/en/preview/1... #gamedev

These days, I really appreciate it when someone with no artistic skills tries to hand-draw the assets for their game; I'd rather play a game with rough but passionately hand-drawn assets than some AI Slop. 👻 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

It sounds really interesting. I also love the fact that you can view the code in GDScript—that would be a big help for learning, especially for those coming from game engines like C3.

Dude, this is awesome. Do you think you'll release it somehow?

A while back, I made a free NES game with wallpapers, 3D figures, and a DIY physical version you can print yourself. Stats show people are still playing! If you ever do play it, I’d love to see photos of the game on your TV and the 3D printed action figures! richard-oz.itch.io/dude-the-dec...

Frogoal is ready and looking for a website or publisher! Jump between platforms, grapple your way forward, and reach the goal. #gamedev #indiegame

Cozy Grind (placeholder) I started working on sketches and prototype for the next HTML5 game. The game loop will involve farming materials outdoors to upgrade the character's skills and then grinding in dungeons. #gamedev #indiegame

Just make it exist first, you can make it good later. #gamedev #indiegame

I agree, I love the game dev community. You're so talented, keep it up!

I understand you, trust me, it doesn't matter if you're part of the industry or have a successful game, it would certainly be nice, but what matters is appreciating what you've created. You're part of the independent developers, those people who make sacrifices to pursue their dreams! You're great!

I just need to compose the final audio track. Otherwise, I have completed the interface and tutorial, unlocking and selection of the 8 characters, including 3 frog skins and 4 new characters, each with themed animation, sfx, and grappling hook, as well as general polishing. #gamedev #indiedev #wip

Character wheel where you can choose between 4 different characters and 4 different frog skins, including this one made of clay. #gamedev #indiegame

We're scattered, but we are here!

The game's development is almost complete, apart from a few placeholders. This is what it will look like when it's finished. #gamedev #indiegame

Thank you Antoine! I'm glad you think so!

Development is well underway, my dude has various animations and a new style! I hope soon on @poki.com #gamedev #indiegamedev

They are really beautiful and imaginative! I also love the color palette

Richard Oz @richardoz.bsky.social · 29/04/2025

Really good, I have completed it several times! I suggest adding an energy bar that charges when you join multiple characters correctly without making mistakes, like combos, when the bar is charged it activates a rage mode for a few seconds where characters attack faster.

I love blowing up my dude, everything is so juicy! 💦 I hope soon on @poki.com #gamedev #indiegamedev

They seem to work solidly! Great work!

Richard Oz @richardoz.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

The development of the game is progressing well. The gameplay will be simple: to complete the levels you will have to jump on the platforms or use the grappling hook. Be careful, however, because the frog, by eating the fly, will become heavier! I will try to publish it on @poki.com #gamedev

Amazing! Reminds me of Advance Wars

After 9 months of development, I have finally released MyDream.exe for free, a top-down shooter with puzzle elements and a bit of lore. A simple game with a very important meaning to me. Have fun! Play here: richard-oz.itch.io/mydreamexe #gamedev #pixelart

Thank you! Glad to know you think so!

I love it! It feels like it's a Game Cube game.

Richard Oz @richardoz.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

MyDream.exe is almost complete, I am really happy with my little game, it is as if in these 9 months of development I have put little parts of me inside it. #gamedev #indiedev

Richard Oz @richardoz.bsky.social · 20/12/2024

Thank you! I'm glad you think so! The game tries to reprise the classic highscore arcade game cycle with some small modern facets that tend to make it more dynamic

Every day I face a higher and higher wall, it is hard, it hurts me, I question myself and keep climbing, but eventually I get over it and I am ready to climb tomorrow's wall. #sologamedev
