Man, I could probably do a whole Youtube documentary about how I've been failing to make this one game for 10 years now lmao Tbf its not like, 10 years straight, I took many year-long-gaps between attempts, but still, the original concept began in 2016 and I've still never "finished" it

A couple of OCs in the new style as well, just for balance sake! Liking how the arts coming out, which I haven't been happy with my art in a hot minute Might try to do something with the new style soon

Sam Rose @samrosemod.bsky.social · 13/05/2026
Wanted to practice the style I've been having fun doodling with so drew a couple of old friends lol I stopped doing fanart to focus on original stuff a long time ago, but it was fun to draw again! ...Also unicorn Twi was better than Alicorn Twi, and Equestria Girls was the superior show!! *Flees*

What if I just changed my whole art style for the heck of it I mean I've genuinely been stuck in an art rut for... Basically years now, drawing this kind of helped me find fun again, so I guess I'll explore it for a bit lol

Making slow but steady progress on my Multiplayer Prototype! Focused a bit more on getting the Character Creator system working, which it does seem to! Can change sprites and colors, and see it accurately with each other! Basic enemy testing will start soon! #godot #indiedev

Sam Rose @samrosemod.bsky.social · 21/04/2026
Messing around with the idea of maybe making a Multiplayer game Basic idea would have it be a dungeon crawler with friends, fight enemies, get loot, make custom characters, that sort of thing Been having fun making the prototype at least! #gamedev #godotengine #indiedev

Hey #PortfolioDay I'm Sam Rose, an indie #gamedev making Narrative-Focused games and always exploring what I can do next I'm experienced with Ren'py and Godot, but my expertise is writing, character-dialogue, and fun game design concepts!

Sam Rose @samrosemod.bsky.social · 07/04/2026
Making a Custom Character Creator in Godot is so easy I was kind of blown away that I could make it in like, an hour Unlike Ren'py where we spent days struggling to make it look right, I could make as many assets as I wanted for this! Now if only Godot had the crazy VN support Ren'py does lol

Sam Rose @samrosemod.bsky.social · 01/04/2026
Contemplating a specific art style for game assets Goal is to make a base body that looks good then put details on top of it in layers so the Player could customize them Theoretically I know how to do, just gotta make a couple of test assets to try it Gabriel and Serena as doodle examples

Sam Rose @samrosemod.bsky.social · 07/03/2026
Discovered a CRT filter for Godot and am able to control its strength via code Solidifies I'm gonna make this 8-bit horror/dating/Visual Novel thingie! Every new project I get just a little bit stronger #indiedev #godotengine

Sam Rose @samrosemod.bsky.social · 06/03/2026
Strongly considering an 8-bit/GameBoy aesthetic for the next game I like the idea of using the limited palette, maybe gonna make it 5 colors vs 4 so I can shade the red with not black, but I otherwise really like the vibe so far! #indiedev
062
Sam Rose @samrosemod.bsky.social · 04/03/2026
Rough draft doodles for a possible new Visual Novel, thinking of going for a limited palette pixelated look for this one More pixelated than this too, really get that crunchy effect going ...I guess this would count as a first attempt at the "yandere bf" genre from me lol

Someone once told us that making minigames in Ren'py would be too hard so we should scrap them entirely Years later, I intend to show that person just how wrong they were Ren'py is just Python at the end of the day, it can do basically anything if you actually code it

Okay, starting to get my desire to create art back again, helps that I found something to give me inspiration, and it's a new art pen of all things But I think the results are going to turn out nice. Now I can get back to making assets for my Game! Perhaps by month's end I'll have an alpha to show

I have also added a new section for Chibi characters on my VGen, as I'm going to be drawing a lot of chibis for an upcoming comic very soon. Some examples if you wish to see what that might looks like! vgen.co/SamRoseMod

Vacation is almost over so my little silly 'clicker' game is getting polished -Enemies grow stronger and change sprites each time they are killed -A boss appears after x amount of minions are killed -BG Changes each time a Boss is slain -Properly animated attack animations -Working auto attacks

Sam Rose @samrosemod.bsky.social · 09/09/2025
Been away from home for the last week so I've just been practicing making Idle-Clicker games in Godot since I can't work on my main project for the moment But like, the more small projects I make the more fun programming gets. I really wish I hadn't been scared to learn programming for so long lol

It turns out for the first time in a while I'm negative in my bank, not having a job has been rough and nowhere seems to be hiring at all I'm looking to raise about $500 to get covered by next month, so if you want a fic/pic please consider me!! Prices/Samples in reply vgen.co/SamRoseMod

Well... I think the core of my turn-based RPG system is done! Sure, all the menus and health bars are place holders and attacks don't have animations, but those are way easier to add and fix than the whole system itself I think this is almost ready for release!! #godotengine #indiedev
1130
Sam Rose @samrosemod.bsky.social · 12/08/2025
Making cleaned up progress so far, next time gotta re-add the skill system, which hopefully will be easier than re-adding the turn based systems today, they fought me for hours lol

Game Dev Weekend update: Was hoping to get more done but it ended up being a surprisingly busy weekend But I'm currently working to clean up my code and not make it a giant messy pile. This is what I've got for placeholders and its already looking 20 times better than it was before!

7/21 Game Dev Progress: -All actors now successfully cycle through every character's turn. -Enemies will perform attacks on a randomly chosen Player and then end their turn. -Added randomized positions for each battle Slowly but surely making progress!!

Game Dev Sat- Sunday 7/20: Was at a party yesterday but worked on game dev stuff this week. Had a real burst of inspiration today and got several mechanics acceptable enough for me to move on to the next stages! Hopefully next week I'll have a rudimentary turn-based battle system going

Also, shout out back to when Season 1 of Pretty Derby aired 7 years ago and I did a Motherly Scootaloo crossover with it I admit I've fallen behind on keeping up with the anime since then, but I still love the music and absurd concept behind the show/game

Sam Rose @samrosemod.bsky.social · 10/07/2025
When I moved away from her being a Pretty Derby OC, I eventually combined her with an old MLP AU idea I had about a monster hunter wondering the wilds and killing dangerous creatures to keep people safe So now she's a happy-go-lucky yet a bit clumsy adventurer lol

Sam Rose @samrosemod.bsky.social · 10/07/2025
Fun Fact: My OC Vivian started off as an Uma Musume back in 2021 with the story that she always wanted to be a racer, but was never good enough to compete. So instead she got a day job and explored the world outside of derby racing, and was also a bit of a ditzy clutz

Game Dev Saturday Update: 7/5 Trying to break down game mechanics one at a time for my big project, so I was testing out a Godot Plugin called Dialogue Manager It works ok, but from what I'm reading it might be better to go with Dialogic for the game I have in mind so that's my next test

Might not get much game dev practice done this Gamedev Saturday, been a rough week at work and am pretty busy otherwise, would kinda just like to chill and do stuff with Eros for today The plan was to start work on a Platformer though. I at least got the bare bones character controller done so far

Today's GameDev Saturday is me making a FlappyBird clone! Took longer than pong but I'm happy with the results. The game gets faster the longer you survive, and I learned a lot about node hierarchy and referencing other nodes via scripting from this #GameDev #IndieDev #GameDevSaturday #Godot
