WIP for littleJS jam version of Greeble. Interface is a bit clumsy, I’m not very good at playing yet LOL but visually it’s coming along #indiedev #gamedev

#screenshotsaturday er, friday evening. These guys all procedurally generated! texturing needs some love, but making fun progress. Some of the glitchiness on the texturing adds charm, I may leave it. #indiedev #procgen #pocketsky #gamedev

Almost #screenshotsaturday (I feel zero guilt using this tag on other days than saturday). Working on new ship grammars, for more boxy cargo vessel type ships. Ya know, for the sphere piles to pilot #indiedev #gamedev #pocketsky

How could I not? Bailey looks at me like I’m abandoning her every time I leave the house

Eevee's lighting is SO much better. any three.js experts out there? do I have to bake lighting into the textures to make it look this good?

My first computer capable of games was a second-hand Tandy 1000, came with Kings Quest 1 on 4 floppies. KQ1 hooked me and my brothers, and some of my friends. We drew maps and played through it many many times. This was THE game that made me want to escape into computer games forever.

One use of AI I have zero problems with, since Pinterest destroyed itself and made it hard to get your data. Building my own private pinterest replacement

Mining area polish: added some noise to de-grid the mines, heavy cool tint on everything behind the play plane. #pocketsky #gamedev #indiedev

I’ve settled on a name. Not shying away from the obvious NMS inspiration. #pocketsky #indiedev #gamedev.

#screenshot #indiedev #gamedev Currently working on terrain texturing, but this I liked this planet's colors and thought this was pretty.

#screenshotsunday #indiedev #gamedev Cast shadows! This took an embarrassingly long time to debug and figure out.

Ryan @ryanmalm.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

#screenshotsunday #gamedev #indiedev Reluctantly moving towards a deferred renderer for this project and a "real" 3D scene. Fun shader debugging times

#screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #typescript #threejs In preparation for NPCs and other characters, the player sprite in my game is now procedurally generated like all the other things
