Chaos Influx | Devlog #18 - Looking at the 2013 promo video for some boss fight inspiration. This version was written using MonoGame, Godot is so much easier #GameDev #IndieDev

I’ve had a few close Robin encounters. This one at Ballater was pretty fearless.

Now if we could just do a 180 degree rotation of the UK each day, everyone would be a lot happier.

Here are the Rockhopper level times for the CURRENT world record. Shoutout to @potomax.bsky.social who will almost certainly knock me off the top spot again #IndieDev #GameDev

Managed to wrestle back the top spot after about a week of trying. Wish I had attached a heart monitor when I broke the 100k barrier #GameDev #IndieDev

Now that is interesting. Some very different scores there, so still lots of gains to be made.

First download in April. The numbers aren't important, it's just nice to know there is someone out there enjoying what I've created #Godot #GameDev #IndieDev

Created a nice 2D lightning bolt effect in Godot. No post-processing, no shaders. Just the basic Line2D node with a texture image and some code #GameDev #IndieDev

You better hope you don't acquire any of these or you'll be screwed.

Zero Rockhopper downloads this year, so will give it one final push. If you have the game already then a quick rating would really help get back on Apple's radar apps.apple.com/app/6504028206 #GameDev #IndieDev #Godot

Boom! Broke the 100k barrier. That game alone took just over 25 minutes so things were getting a bit twitchy at the 90k mark. Will remove myself from the leaderboard after the weekend #GameDev #Godot

Rocket Ronz @rocketronz.bsky.social · 10/05/2025
Wee bit cheeky for the developer to have the high score on their own game but it's good bounds testing 😏 I'll wipe my score when I hit 100k or the leaderboard reaches 50 players #GameDev

Fastest completion times for all 20 levels in Rockhopper. I’m pretty confident that none of these can be improved on #GameDev #IndieDev

Absolute laziness #Swift compiler. You need to take a UInt32 hard look at yourself.
