Xavaltir @xavaltir.bsky.social · 27/08/2025Finally got my hands on Spelunky's #GameDev book, very excited to read it! (The eggplant did not arrive with the book) 041 0
Xavaltir @xavaltir.bsky.social · 23/08/2025I have written my first devlog! xavaltir.com/DevLog01.html I talk a bit about the game projects I'm working on and some of the other stuff I've done recently, it probably reads awkward as heck but defo check it out 😁 #gamedev #indiexavaltir.comXavlog #1Ive 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... 093 0
Xavaltir @xavaltir.bsky.social · 21/08/2025The pokemon ranger capture mechanic is really cool! :D 030 0
Xavaltir @xavaltir.bsky.social · 18/08/2025Also, just to clarify. The weapon in the gif is the Blinding Light of Destiny from AQW, I do not own that art! I use it to prototype the mechanic I am working on😅 000 0
Xavaltir @xavaltir.bsky.social · 18/08/2025I 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! 152 0
Xavaltir @xavaltir.bsky.social · 04/08/2025Would it be possible to fix the download/reading for any ipad? There is lots of promotional imagery about unity games on ipad but kinda silly that I cant download or read the books on my ipad 000 0
Xavaltir @xavaltir.bsky.social · 04/08/2025One frustrating thing about these resources is that unity keeps promoting them with visuals of ipad's but you cant read them on the site with an ipad 😭 000 0
Xavaltir @xavaltir.bsky.social · 03/08/2025Huh, I never thought about that usecase before. Thx for the useful tip! 120 0
Xavaltir @xavaltir.bsky.social · 02/08/2025That is a cool way to use the gyro of the steam deck! 120 0
Xavaltir @xavaltir.bsky.social · 31/07/2025Was not planning on posting this progress but @atlantiaking.bsky.social motivated me to do so in the end whahahahahahah 010 0
Xavaltir @xavaltir.bsky.social · 31/07/2025Progress 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 151 0
Xavaltir @xavaltir.bsky.social · 29/07/2025This Rider plugin turns your loading bar into a Pokemon trainer walking with Pikachu, EASILY the best plugin for a Game Developer's IDE #GameDev 083 0
Xavaltir @xavaltir.bsky.social · 21/07/2025Iteration 5 and I’m finally back to my original baseline. Progress isn't always linear, but it's still progress 😄#gamedev 150 0
Xavaltir @xavaltir.bsky.social · 19/07/2025Donkey Kong Bananza's character controller is actually bananas, it moves butter smooth 030 0
Xavaltir @xavaltir.bsky.social · 16/07/2025It doesn't have subtasks sadly enough but the whiteboard is more than worth it haha. I bought it, hopefully the maker will add subtasks in the future 😄 100 0
Xavaltir @xavaltir.bsky.social · 15/07/2025Looks interesting, does the kanban board tasks include subtasks? 110 0
Xavaltir @xavaltir.bsky.social · 14/07/2025Made a tool to make custom 2D shapes with customizable properties #Unity #GameDev 073 0
Xavaltir @xavaltir.bsky.social · 13/07/2025The health bars being blocks really helps with readability, nice! 010 0
Xavaltir @xavaltir.bsky.social · 12/07/2025The eye blinking and the animations already look cool! The end result will be even better whahahah :D 120 0
Xavaltir @xavaltir.bsky.social · 12/07/2025The 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 082 0
Xavaltir @xavaltir.bsky.social · 11/07/2025The latches are very cool! It would be interesting if you showed a video of how it opens, fun design nonetheless! :D 110 0
Xavaltir @xavaltir.bsky.social · 08/07/2025Worked on a tooltip that works with the items I can generate using my tool (Prototype Visuals & Flavor text) #gamedev 071 0
Xavaltir @xavaltir.bsky.social · 08/07/2025I made an editor tool yesterday so I can easily add items to something I am working on :D (prototype visuals and flavor text from my childhood fav game aqw) #gamedev 061 0
Xavaltir @xavaltir.bsky.social · 03/07/2025Left is ingame, right is on my site. Very happy with how it but it turns out firebase does not like webgl so I will have to try again with their restapi 000 0
Xavaltir @xavaltir.bsky.social · 03/07/2025I 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 172 0
Xavaltir @xavaltir.bsky.social · 03/07/2025Tried 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 072 0

Xavaltir @xavaltir.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Yesterday 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...localthunk.comThe Balatro Timeline — LocalThunkIt’s been approximately 3 years since I began work on Balatro - and in that time I have personally documented almost nothing about the journey. This is something that has bothered me since the game la... 010 0
Xavaltir @xavaltir.bsky.social · 24/04/2025Is there a guide on how to make this, it looks very cool! :D 100 0
Xavaltir @xavaltir.bsky.social · 19/04/2025It 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. 010 0
Xavaltir @xavaltir.bsky.social · 09/04/2025Gameplay looks crazy fun, also nice music/ui. Is that sonic/sega inspired? 😁 010 0
