Typing Hazard @typinghazard.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I kinda hate when games do this but I'm old and not very connected to modern gaming And the only FE game I've played is FEH lmao lol and that stopped when power creep made my beloved armor team unviable and I learned to never trust f2p gacha gaming ever again.

Typing Hazard @typinghazard.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Yeahh :[ I had some cProfile-fueled detours before I realized I wasn't actually making anything, just doing lots of "number go down" I had one legit case where I needed to intervene (A* search in my game is wonky, hard to explain on Bluesky) but most of the rest were nothing-burgers 010

Typing Hazard @typinghazard.bsky.social · 01/10/2026(Opponent Turn) (Round X), I'm calling these banners. Maybe I'm calling them wrongly, apologies I like the way they move and come to rest slowly It is something I was thinking about doing for my game and I just thought yours are well executed, that's all 111
Typing Hazard @typinghazard.bsky.social · 01/10/2026This looks great I was just considering adding moving banners to my game as a way to sidestep the (alleged) need for constant tutorials or unclear level goals, yours behave a lot like what I'd envisioned 110
Typing Hazard @typinghazard.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Yeah I'm guessing every game that passes through that advice filter becomes whatever late-for-dinner market research on the hottest new trends in gaming says is a real cash cow 030
Typing Hazard @typinghazard.bsky.social · 30/09/2026My first search for advice on my hobbyist dive into gamedev led me to a subreddit that was exactly this. "You wanna make a game? That MUST mean you want a big Steam release, and THAT means your game has to be [this] and your ad campaign has to be [that] and" Sorry guy I'm making my game for me 150
Typing Hazard @typinghazard.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I forgot all the requisite "hobbyist indie dev btw" hashtags in the OP, oh well, onwards and upwards 001
Typing Hazard @typinghazard.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The cost goes down as your HP goes down, all the way to 0 cost in fact - but by then your health is so low that the level might just kill you anyway v0v Oh also levels are bigger now, 11x13 was cutesy but limiting. 17x17 is where it's at 000
Typing Hazard @typinghazard.bsky.social · 26/09/2026It turns out, designing levels that can't be softlocked isn't just tough af for my smooth as a chicken breast brain, it is a design constraint I'm unwilling to work with given all the time I spent to add multiple "bridge-able" tile types. So! I landed on a workaround; pay X HP, restart level 210

Typing Hazard @typinghazard.bsky.social · 21/09/2026It is/was a wasteland unless your question was flawlessly asked, 100% net-new issue, and solved in exactly one way with no possibility of being subject to opinion or style I swore off SO over a decade ago and was better for it, RTFM > being berated for asking questions 010
Typing Hazard @typinghazard.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Ugh this is so ugly and shitty I felt like a presumptuous ass setting my repo to private, not so much now, though I guess you can just point an LLM at a video and say "hey reproduce this game for me" and it'll crap out a guess. Why share anything with anyone ever, fuck 130

Typing Hazard @typinghazard.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I have always had a "ready, fire, aim" approach to getting through life, even when I think I don't I expected an amount of this kind of discovery on starting my game but holy balls, it feels like I only painted one side of the house and now I'm in the backyard like "oh, right, this also exists" 000
Typing Hazard @typinghazard.bsky.social · 19/09/2026And yet within the same file, I have a long-winded method for assigning "goals" and "rewards" to my levels and somehow there's no central "level solved!" event to call when the level is, like, solved Too much data to describe the wincons, too little data to describe the levels. lol, lmao even 100
Typing Hazard @typinghazard.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Not only that but my assumptions about level editing convenience and control are also being challenged. I felt a small, metadata-light JSON format for describing levels with emphasis on ASCII for level layout would suffice - and it does, until it doesn't 100
Typing Hazard @typinghazard.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I assumed level design would flow naturally from those systems as long as I tested them for completeness in isolation It turns out emergent behavior goes a little beyond the boundaries I'd anticipated. What do you mean knockback + blockpushing = softlocking levels due to unexpected position changes 111
Typing Hazard @typinghazard.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I built and tested systems in proof-of-concept levels for months - overt mechanics like blockpushing, combat, damage, knockback; covert stuff like collision layers, AI behavior states, autotiling, spatial hashmap queries 100
Typing Hazard @typinghazard.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I did not realize how my #indiedev #pygame experience would change when I moved from building game systems to building the game IOW shifting from coding game mechanics to making the actual playtesting levels and discovering a new perspective from which to gage what the game needs 1102
