Just having some fun with the bass guitar today. No technical lessons or pro tips here, just me messing around with my instrument. Subscribe for more questionable music hobby content. #sashaplays #bass #bassist #shorts #guitar

I make tracks all by myself and make videos about it. What do you think?

When you hit 40, it is important to not get stuck in regrets and doubts Many people face moments where the weight of financial obligations leads to instability and difficult choices. #rockmusic #emotionalrock #middleagecrisis #indiemusic

NewTime, NewTone or Edison won't play your audio in FL Studio? FL Studio has always worked this way. It's just... deeply confusing until someone tells you. Now someone told you. ✅ . #FLStudio #FLStudioTips #FLStudioFix #NewTone #NewTime #Edison #musicproduction #sashaplays #indiemusic

I dumped Hollow Knight After finishing about 80% of the game and beating some of the toughest bosses, I just saw no point in playing. I don't know why people love this game so much, in my opinion it is not a good game. Way too long, no real direction or meaning. What do you think? #hollowknight

Dear game artists I have some good news for you I am pretty sure EU and UK will have a similar stance #ai #gamedevblog #indiegamedev

Quote of the day: "when judging the relative merits of programming languages, some still seem to equate "the ease of programming" with the ease of making undetected mistakes." (from: www.cs.utexas.edu/~EWD/transcr...)

Possibly the most important takeaway from the "Player making decision" book is that indie game development is almost always not leading to financial success (99% would not get much) Your game may be great, but luck may be just not on your side. So, reframe success, I guess? #indiegamedev #gamedev

"Player making decisions" - book about game design Kinda-ish Should you read it? Probably not really. It does have some useful information but signal to noise is not great and, most importantly, information does not have any real structure or actionable advice #indiegamedev #gamedesign #bookreview

Player making decisions: 29: Probability This chapter gives the shortest possible intro into probability and statistic, while also showing some common misconceptions. I don't think beginner indie game devs need that, but book has it, so... #gamedev #indiegamedev #gamedevelopment #testingcoder

"Player making decisions": Documentation Well, apparently documentation is very helpful in game development, especially when you have a team For indies - it is a good place to consider goals and purpose of the game - as well as what in and not in the scope #gamedesign #indiegamedev #testingcoder

"Player making decisions" Chapter 27: Attention and Memory Game designer needs to remember that they are in charge of where player attention goes: 1) doom eternal green light to show the way 2) "special sprite" for breakable walls Don't forget that people's memory is very limited #gamedesign

Uncle Sasha @testingcoder.bsky.social · 07/01/2026
"Player making decisions", Chapter 26: Human making decisions Another, while interesting, not really related chapter in the book. People can't have all the data and can't process it at once, so we must use heuristics, but such heuristics create biases #gamedesign #indiegamedev #sologamedev

Uncle Sasha @testingcoder.bsky.social · 06/01/2026
"Player making decisions", Chapter 25: Motivation You can't force people to play your game. So, you need to motivate player to play. But how? 1) aim to address basic human needs: autonomy, mastery and relating 2) some "tricks" could help too #gamedesign #indiegamedev #gamedev #testingcoder

"Player making decisions", Chapter 24: Learning and Constructivism This chapter touches important thing about how we (and players) learn: 1) Cognitive load - amount of things we need to hold in working memory 2) Split attention effect - integrated tutorials And more! #gamedesign #indiegamedev

Uncle Sasha @testingcoder.bsky.social · 06/01/2026
"Player making decisions", Chapter 23: Behaviourism This chapter was surprisingly good! (spoiler alert: book gets better from here) This chapter explains how different reward pattern affect player engagement, on a example we all love: coin pusher #gamedesign #indiegamedev #gamepsychology
