For those following along, the scope creep Title screen was cancelled. It wound up having toooo many edge cases for this late of a change.

Tim Beaudet @timbeaudet.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

It required a refactor (now done) to add a playful effect that introduces the world to the player directly on the title screen. Will become a VERY light 'search for the play button'.

Just a few days before release and Scope Creep demands I rewrite the entire Title Screen of the game... #post-apocalyptic #indiedev #programmer

2022-07-22: I didn't go chasing this down, but I did complete any part of the api break this would have so rest of the issue, if there is actually an issue, would be implemention details. Did I have a stroke while writing this comment? What the hell does it even mean?

Also, I got a cat. Officially adopted her yesterday after fostering her for a week. This is Violet (shelter given name which may change). Comment with your #gamedev #pets!

A cat, Violet, on a cat-tree looking surprised.

The best kitty, Violet, waiting to see if she gets attention. Of course she gets attention!

It isn't much to look at, but this is a WIP animation that I slapped together today in Blender. If you enjoy driving around random roads, racing for the fastest time or otherwise controlling vehicles: we can be friends!

I haven't had a printer issue in a decade (knocks on wood). But Windows 11 has me seriously considering if I can make good quality Windows games while developing from Linux. github.com/timbeaudet/k... I've created a whole list of stupid issues it has, including a few with clips.

I've always had extreme difficulty learning abstract concepts, and that is basically how math was always taught. I very much need to see the practical use, then connect that to abstract situations.

Hmm, so I am not organized. I have abandoned projects - but they don't live on a list, and certainly not an alphabetical list. I'll start organizing myself better in the future.

What does being an "Organized Game Developer" mean for you?

431

Tim Beaudet @timbeaudet.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

I make games. Make games requires solving an endless stream of problems. I am a professional problem solver. The biggest problem I face is making sales; whether that is a game worth buying, or getting people to know about the game in the first place... 🐔 or 🥚?? #gamedev

071

Tim Beaudet @timbeaudet.bsky.social · 08/02/2026

Depends on the game, and what hard means - if it were cars that have meaningfully different handling/characteristics I’d say no. If hard is always additive and includes prior levels then yes.

Tim Beaudet @timbeaudet.bsky.social · 08/02/2026

This I suspect is very true for the first few weeks of automated data. I am fairly certain it can be too easy to not actually process.

000

Tim Beaudet @timbeaudet.bsky.social · 07/02/2026

While annoying to grab the metrics manually, I find it a good process so I can actually take a moment to process them. I’d be curious how you feel on this front. I don’t think the glance at pre pulled metrics would quite be the same.

Tomorrow I will share what January 2026 has been like as an indie developer when I stream the business review. How much I earned, how much I spent and what lessons I learned to be a better #GameDev / #IndieDev will be discussed. Where: www.twitch.tv/timbeaudet When: February 1st: 6am ET / 1100 UTC

I admire the blog posts consistency, something I've never been able to manage!

020

Tim Beaudet @timbeaudet.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

Lots of things... 1. I prefer the chase cam, but there was no HUD on the chase cam, I think I'd prefer chase & HUD. 2. Though I'd also likely prefer HUD to be more static on the screen, rather than "attached" to vehicle. 3. I focus on racing games and stream, if you'd like more feedback drop in.

Absolutely killer week of gamedev with a huge reveal on todays stream. It was awesome and I hope yours was as well! Share what you've worked on! #IndieGameDev #indiedev

Excluding tonight, I can't remember the last time I bought something on pure impulse... I may have thrown $30 in a bin, but my inner child is overly excited!

000

Tim Beaudet @timbeaudet.bsky.social · 15/01/2026

Have to say I don't even feel bad when my face shows annoyance in this situation.

010

Tim Beaudet @timbeaudet.bsky.social · 08/01/2026

The example that comes to my mind is the Coca Cola winter commercials of old, they were almost MORE about the winter spirit and happy holidays, and sure it's product placement as a polar bear gets a drink...

010

Tim Beaudet @timbeaudet.bsky.social · 08/01/2026

I totally agree. Ads is just like "your need, our product", and sometimes just "our product". Commercial is like ... a story, or a mini-world, or ... something more. I don't yet know what that more is, because idk if 'no jingle/joke' fits either.

@ottermakegames.bsky.social gave me an interesting thought... "There is a difference between a commercial and an ad, I don't know what it is yet but..." This feels mind bending. It feels completely true, yet I also can't describe it further.

How Not to Release a Demo: Prepare the build, prepare the promo content, Open Steam, press "Release" ... Have your power go out. I'm trying to tell the world that store.steampowered.com/app/2695500/... is coming to Steam and now has a Demo! I'm on a phone with LTE because ... my power went out.

This is the most niche project I could do - correcting the graphics of the trucks from the original Monster Truck Madness. Trying to keep the "made in Deluxe Paint" style, but more correct to the real trucks. #retrogaming #simracing

streamBuffer is an in memory buffer of audio data, what did past-me mean with this comment??

Comment: Is expect the streamBuffer read only, and thus the case should be okay to improve performance (instead of allocating and copying the memory into the stream buffer just use it in place. -TIM 20150517
