POV: Me every time I code for hours and I somehow manage to actually solve a problem. I'm still convinced the next coding problem will be the one that I get stuck on forever until I die. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #godotengine

Any #gamedev tips on a diagramming software for mapping out your #godot games and how the systems work? E.g., this autoloaded script has a signal emited by this scene which then runs a function over here I'm just trying to avoid the spaghetti code syndrome. #godotengine #indiedev #coding

Buy. Caves. Of. Qud. It's one of the best traditional roguelikes ever made. It just hit 1.0 and has been a gem in the making for 17 years. Essential video game to try your hand at. Also, leave them a review if you already own the game.

I'm sure #godot has a great UI system, but I'm taking my lumps trying to learn it right now. Progress is never a straight line it seems. Especially, if you've managed to confuse yourself. 😕 Here's to hoping it all clicks soon. #godotengine #gamedev #indiedev

An experiment. Can you like this post if (and only if) you play and buy video games. Some people over on Twitter/X seem to think it's only game developers here. (reposts welcome to spread the word)

I've been fishing for like 5hrs and I am flexing harder than anybody in this game. 100% skill to achieve what I've... er... achieved... Got the golden bass, got the golden ray, and I'm catching meteors like fly balls. #webfishing #godot #godotengine

A screenshot from webfishing, a video game. Shows a cat who just fished up a seal from a lake in a cartoonish style. He has a title above his head that shows he caught one of the rarest fish in the game.

If you don't know Caves of Qud, it's a game you should be looking into 👀 If you like traditional roguelikes at all, this one might he the best modern take on the genre. It hits 1.0 Dec 5th! My favourite Qud story below 👇 #videogame #indiegame #indiedev

Try my new #Godot add-on "Cat In Pita Bed" to increase your productivity by 1000%! It's counterpart "Cat on Keyboard" is really buggy and I would avoid installing it in its current state. #godotengine #gamedev #indiedev #cats

Thanks to everyone that threw a little love my way yesterday during my first game launch. I appreciate it. ❤️ I'm jumping right into starting my second game tonight. Looking forward to diving back into a new prototyping phase. #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine #godot

1st 🎮 I've ever made! This is Peanut Butter Ralph 🐀🥜 A face-paced arcade high-score-chaser that is much harder than it looks, even though you can play it with only one button. Help Ralph get the treats! Getting it ready to go up on itch.io as we speak 🧑‍🔧 #godotengine #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart

I'm a "no days off" #gamedev. If I slip up and miss a day, I will slip up HARD. I enjoy working an hour or two every day, or even just putting in 15 minutes when life is busy. If I don't stay in the groove, I find my creative anxiety will convince me I won't be able to solve the next problem.

I am making a checklist ✅️ of everything I need to do for an itch.io 🎮 release so I can do this faster next time 😥 No fault of itch.io's! I've just never done this before, so I'm slo0Oow. #gamedev #indiedev

Who wants to show me their #godotengine projects? I'm interested in seeing what other #gamedevs are cooking up today. Videos, links, screenshots, how ever you want to show off your #indiegame is cool with me 😎

What are your thoughts on a #gamedev releasing their very first #indiegame ever made? Let it rip? Or put that first game aside and go back to the drawing board?

An overlooked factor in Stardew Valley's success was the gaping wound in the gaming community left by failed HarvestMoon titles. Gamers badly wanted a great farming game experience! (Farming genre before #StardewValley featured below):

Just tried to implement a new/simple feature in my 1st game and it doesn't work. However, I can cross one method off my list and try again later. I sort of dig when my game gets the better of me! Reminds me that progress is never a straight path. ⛰️ #gamedev #godotengine
