WHEW I DID IT! I launched Borrowed Light for the #jernjam this year! 🎉 The last 4 days turned into a huge crunch time for me. Come check it out and let me know what you think! theaveragegoob.itch.io/borrowed-light #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #godot

I haven't been able to work too much over the week, but I'm making HUGE progress this weekend and wanted to share a little snippet of what I've been putting together for Borrowed Light. Working on UI and level design. Hopefully I'll have something to submit! #jernjam #indiegamedev #gamejam

TheAverageGoob @the.averagegoob.com · 20/09/2026

I've been working on some of the art for Borrowed Light! The hardest part for me is environment art, so I'm going to try to template it as much as I can so I can swap tree styles easily for the infinite scrolling. #jernjam #gameart

Day 3 and already feeling like a game! The core game loop is coming together! I'm moving much faster than I thought I would. I feel like progress so far is pretty good. Borrowed Light is taking shape. averagegamestudio.com/day-3-gettin... #gamedev #jernjam #devlog #indiegame

Day 2 of #JernJam involved a bit of project management and getting into mockup/prototyping territory. I started a vision board for what I want, setup kanban for tasks, and got my project created in Godot. This weekend, I'm going for playable. averagegamestudio.com/day-2-protot... #gamedev #devlog

Day 2: Prototyping Movement - Average Game Studio

Today, I started prototyping my main character's movement and building out the game design document. I'm hoping that I can find some time to stream this

I'm getting started on my game for the #JernJam this year! I'm making a game about moths and fireflies. What is everyone else making? Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with for "Unlikely Hero". averagegamestudio.com/jernjam-2026... #gamedev #devlog #gamejam

It's been almost a year since I posted. Quite honestly, I haven't been making games. I tried back in April, but I overscoped and had to refactor the character

It's that time of year! I'm thinking about joining up for the #JernJam itch.io/jam/jern-jam... this year again. I had a great time doing this last year. Maybe I come back and stream my development and hang out :) If you're a #gamedev make sure to check out this jam!

I could use some motivation/inspiration from other indie devs. Anyone have any good indie games from solo devs they recommend? #indiegamedev #indiedev #solodev #gamedev

TheAverageGoob @the.averagegoob.com · 29/08/2026

Any time someone thinks your game is terrible, they immediately call it AI slop. If it's really good, AI slop. It's rough being an indie dev right now. This is why it's important to stream your work, share dev logs, show progress, and be open about development these days.

TheAverageGoob @the.averagegoob.com · 15/04/2026

A HUGE issue I ran into that I didn't consider was player persistence. In Game Maker, you just check a button, and the player with all their variables stays intact between rooms. In Godot, I think I need to setup the player as a resource that gets used between scenes. Still learning!

TheAverageGoob @the.averagegoob.com · 15/04/2026

Whelp, I didn't finish Faceroll Odyssey for the game jam I started it for. I scoped a project for 2 weeks and couldn't put 2 weeks of work into it. However, I'm lowkey having fun working on the project, so I might try to finish it anyways :)

TheAverageGoob @the.averagegoob.com · 13/04/2026

Somewhat of a game is starting to come to life. I've had fun getting back into Godot, regardless of progress. Faceroll Odyssey is taking shape! #gamedev #godot #gamejam

TheAverageGoob @the.averagegoob.com · 07/04/2026

Got a late start on Faceroll Odyssey art tonight, but I wanted to share my progress on the player's avatar. The idea is that you play an end-game-geared, overpowered warrior. #art #gamedev #gamejam #gameart

TheAverageGoob @the.averagegoob.com · 05/04/2026

For anyone that was watching me struggle on adding dodge to my character....the movement was being overridden by the keyboard movement move_and_slide function. I had to add a boolean for when they player is dodging. I shoulda known.

Checking in so everyone knows I'm alive. Been working on art for You Had Mead at Hello so we can get a demo out Q1. Admittedly, I haven't been streaming because I've been sucked into Classic WoW with the BC launch coming. Never got to experience it as a kid, so I get to now. Streams coming soon! 🤓

Hello #PitchYaGame ! We're making a cozy Bee Keeper Tycoon game! Take care of your bees and grow your apiary. Produce goods like honey and mead! The Game Jam version did well, so we're going all the way with it! Check us out! averagegamestudio.com/game/you-had... #godot #indiedev

A bee keeper is standing in an apiary holding a bottle of mead. This is a screenshot from the game "You Had Mead at Hello". The bee keeper is wearing a full bee keeping suit. There is a man-made beehive, a natural beehive, a honey extractor, a bucket, and several bees about.
