Happy Monday! What's everyone working on? For me, been exploring UI lately. Imagining all upgrades in game as physical media you install, made by different fictional fantasy manufacturers #gamedev #solodev #godot

This still needs a lot, but also it's looking pretty fucking cool as is! #gamedev #indiedev #godot

It's intimidating to try and find a unique angle for what, at it's core, is mechanically an arena twin stick shooter. Hoping to lean heavier into discovery and tone over the roguelike / survivor, but it's hard not to lean into that side for replay-ability's sake.

With this project I had a goal to make something I could sell for ~$5 and generate ~1,000 sales... but the scope has been (predictably) growing the more I explore, which has me a little nervous too

I've been shaping the visual identity and game design loop as I go, which has lead to some really exciting, organic ideas, but also a lot more jank. It's left me with a more embattled feeling about this one compared to my last 2 releases

The past couple months have been... strange. I've been quietly making progress on what I think will be my next game project, all while trying to juggle other obligations. Added challenge of working in Godot, and in 3D over Game Maker has definitely slowed me down, but I'm starting to see some payoff

How did you do this much in 4 days?!?!? 😮 looks awesome!

Time is tight, so been working through this smaller game prototype. Here's some rough menu progress! #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

Honestly, the whole game dev journey has been rocky as fuck, but I've never felt more "me" than when I'm working on or sharing my games. They may not have given me a clear path to financial stability, but I'll be damned if I ever stop trying to make it my life's work

I feel this. Storytelling is evergreen. Authors have been finding ways to create meaningful new experiences for hundreds if not thousands of years at this point. People (designers and consumers) need to stop frothing at the mouth about novelty

I've been neck deep in work so I've fallen off posting. But I just replayed some of Quantum Joe and damn... I'm still super proud of it! I poured a lot more heart into it than I had expected to, and imo it shows. #gamedev #indiedev store.steampowered.com/app/3272180/...

Caught in the eternal struggle rn of having to take on extra freelance projects (i.e. feeding my family) at the cost of making progress on my own projects (i.e. feeding my soul)

Re-body is out. explore a dilapidated world while uncovering real personal confessions focusing on queer bodies darionmccoy.itch.io/re-body

This area is really starting to come together! Everything is exponentially harder in 3D but I'm starting to get a rhythm down for producing environment assets. #gamedev #indiedev

Hey so video games? Turns out they're really challenging to make huh.

lol yeah this image is what comes up when I search”French medieval village” and those are both great references I’ll have to pull from!

What's clearly missing is foliage and life. This is my target charm level:

Picking up steam with modular environment building! Every little bit I add to my kit makes me that much faster at this. Still have like 1000 props to make, but the progress is real! 🥹 #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

Been getting a lot done with this project! I can now program questlines, cutscenes, day/night cycles pass, and more. As a treat I've done some environment art to mix it up. Here's my SUPER rough first pass at the day/night lighting #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Do people like seeing this early in-progress development? I feel like I really love it, but that's the game *developer* in me talking more than the game *consumer*

Just finished mapping out an entire world-level quest for the game I'm working on right now. No wonder narrative-heavy games take forever to make, there's so much to orchestrate!

Mostly just been dealing with a sick toddler and then a sick me tbh though

Some basic quest and world event work done this week + some NPC logic to have them lead you through areas. Trying to find more organic ways to railroad certain portions without putting physical blockers in the world as much as I can help it #screenshotsaturday #solodev #gamedev #godot

A new video game company is birthed!! It is us, Odd Object. We are @fourbitfriday.bsky.social and @hryx.net and friends. Today we announce our first game, Scrubbin' Trubble, a co-operative roguelike coming to PC later this year. 🫧⚔️ Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/3276700/...

Anyways. If you like what I’ve posted so far, or are interested in the development process at all, I intend to build this pretty publicly, so please consider a follow! ✨

This 3rd project I’ve been posting early footage of is the result thus far. It’s super early days and it’s going to take me a while longer to flesh out what I have planned. But it makes me happy thinking about where this project is headed.

100

In the intervening months I’ve explored what I truly love in terms of games, media and storytelling. I’ve tried to identify where my joy and love of games stems from. Instead of going right for “market fit” or “commercial viability” I’ve started from a place of pure, earnest love.

100

My plan was at best unrealistic and at worst incredibly toxic and hostile towards my own well-being. Instead I decided to slow down.

100

I told myself I HAD to start pitching my 3rd (undecided, non-existent at the time) project and get funding for it IMMEDIATELY… giving myself only 2 months to conceptualize, design, scope, and prototype enough to be pitch-worthy… yikes 😬

100

At the beginning of this year I set a really aggressive goal to release a 3rd game. Realized I was prioritizing output over interest and passion and it’s shown in the outcomes of both Quantum Joe and Defense of the Dauntless.

Dang, getting conversations working has been tough! Made some solid progress thus far though! #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Really starting to grow quite enamoured with this game idea 🥹

Thanks so much! I really wanted conversations to feel fun and organic, so I'm glad you like it :)
