Sometimes I wonder if I should just do only gacha content on the channel. It's a bit disheartening.

I also think a lot of rm devs should see their initial code as mvp. A draft. Once it's finished and works, step back and think how to refactor it for scalability. If I fear a bug makes it unusable then the architecture is fragile and needs work.

I like how smooth this came out. It's a sketch but it's so smooth.

There's analyzing something to see where things went wrong and learn from those pitfalls. And then there's clowning on something to mock everyone involved because it was perceived to be bad. Might be deserved, but what's the point of continuously picking it apart after the point has been made?

Some improvements can be made. But not a bad first time?

I really want to move, but moving somewhere cheaper + moving costs is literally more expensive than staying put and renewing over the course of a year. What's up with that?

There's something about night that gets me in the mood to work mentally that daytime doesn't. Daytime is for physical work.

I think... I finally finished the game doc. Time to write details.

I'm trying to wrangle the core ideas of this game design and story. I think I'm finally getting somewhere. It just took 2 months to get there.

What activities would be considered agility-based that ISN'T running?

Right. I should have stuck with my idea from the start. But sometimes you need to take a side path to get inspiration.

I wonder if factory progression should be linear or can it go multiple directions at once?

Crafting trees are fun to make. Unless you're making them intentionally interlock each other...

I am overwhelmed by my inexperience making a gameplay progression flowchart. What's the goal for this section? When do things unlock? What should the player learn for this? How much to open up for experimentation? I've been used to just doing my job that I never considered progression in real life.

Plotting out progression for something that doesn't really have a story is kinda tough.

The base idea is down. Time to mad scientist it up.

I don't know how much research is needed for game design, but I'm scouring info as if I'm writing an academic report.

Ruka R Indie - Game Dev Arc @rukarindie.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

I've started making flowcharts for the game.

Ruka R Indie - Game Dev Arc @rukarindie.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

I think the game document is finally taking shape. Just need to hammer in the details.

And the game document takes YET ANOTHER direction from the original idea. I'm wondering if this is normal and if it's better to just go with the flow.

Ruka R Indie - Game Dev Arc @rukarindie.bsky.social · 05/02/2026

I'm revisiting the complexity of my game. I think I need to simply the concepts first before going full ham on it.

Ugh. Feel a bit under the weather. I really need to work on that GDD

Drove 3+ hours home today. I cannot think. Time to do something else, I guess.

Trying to convince my family to be a indie game developer for a year instead of going back to a regular job. I get it. They're worried I'll be starving and be out of a place, but it's not like I'm doing this without a plan.

Do any game devs feel like they're not cut out for this? Solo newbie indie game dev asking for morale support.

Documenting everything that needs to be in a game before actually making the game takes so much time...

000

Ruka R Indie - Game Dev Arc @rukarindie.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

I think I'll have to abandon my original plans for now and make something easier to conceptualize. It's more work on the backend, but at least it's easier to figure out what to do.

Ruka R Indie - Game Dev Arc @rukarindie.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

Trying to figure out unconventional stats for this game is a huge roadblock. I wonder if I should make it more conventional to make it easier on myself?
