Ive been really busy the last month! I fixed the Doug Dimmadome game, made progress on GuildManager, upgraded my MK4S to a Core One, and took a short trip to Dunkirk with friends. You might be wonderi...

I didn't post for a while because I was busy working on a proper Save and Load system that is both Scaleable & Decoupled. A lot of friends have given me advice on how to improve it along the way and I am really grateful for that. I could not have done it without them! Having #GameDev friends rocks!

Progress on my inventory System! Item colliders no longer block inventory tiles. I've almost wrapped up on the inventory but there is one pesky bug! #gamedev

This Rider plugin turns your loading bar into a Pokemon trainer walking with Pikachu, EASILY the best plugin for a Game Developer's IDE #GameDev

Iteration 5 and I’m finally back to my original baseline. Progress isn't always linear, but it's still progress 😄#gamedev

The last couple of days, I have been hyper-focused on getting the save system set up for my project. In my last prototype that was the biggest roadblock I came across. Since that system was not set up for saving at ALL wahahaha. Anywho, I have a nice system to save items now 🥳🎉 #gamedev

I also made a small stacker game where you stack hats on top of Doug Dimmadome, owner of the dimmsdale dimmadome. The main goal was to be able to push highscores to a leaderboard from here which also appear on my website. #GameDev

Tried making a somewhat satisfying main screen UI last month, definitely had too much fun with dotween and added some derpy sfx 😄 I am not 100% content with it, but it's good enough for now. #GameDev

Yesterday I discovered LocalThunk's blog about the timeline of Balatro, it was really interesting to see the hardships and victories they went through, I would recommend all fellow indies to give it a read: localthunk.com/blog/balatro...

It is frustrating that mobile games are becoming subscription based. I'd rather buy a full priced 10-20€ mobile game than spend 6.99€ monthly on Apple Arcade.

Game Dev (ADHD) Productivity Pro Tip: If YouTube often distracts you, try using a dedicated browser with the Unhook plugin. It removes unnecessary distractions, keeping your focus sharp and uninterrupted. I've shared my setup of the plugin down below with an example. #gamedev #adhd #productivity
