We finally started working on a new project! I made the entire dialogue manager script. And even recorded the "voice lines". Don't pay attention to the aesthetics (it's still a work in progress)... and to the placeholder text. Please. 🔊 Sound On! #godot #madewithgodot #indiedev

I haven't updated this profile in a while. I want to start updating it again talking about my projects, current and future ones. Lately life has been kinda rough and just opening what basically is a work related profile wasn't too easy. Things are not better, but I want to try again.

There's still not much to show about the new game, but I can showcase some animations I made (just the animations, not the sprite itself) which I'm particularly proud of. #indiedev #gamedev #godot #animations

Btw if you want to watch me doing gamedev on this projects I go live on Twitch everyday except Sunday. I stream both gamedev *and* gaming, and unfortunately I stream in Italian, but if you still want to take a look at my work and say hi you can come Tue-Thu-Sat from 10 AM to 3 PM CET.

Celeste Privitera @xecestel.bsky.social · 09/01/2025
My radio silence this past month was due to a break in gamedev I took around Christmas and me working on this game *and* another project, and basically being unable to showcase anything. I hope to be able to share more on everything by the end of this week.

We are currently working on an update for Insane Escape that's going to add a lot of improvements, fixes and QoL to the game! We improved the lighting, we added some tutorials, we even added a new accessibility option! I hope to be able to share more soon. #indiedev #gamedev

Btw, I just want to point out that I actually got to 600 followers in like a month or two? On the other site that's called after a single alphabet letter (for some unknown reason) my all time high was about 700-800 after *years*. I guess what I'm trying to say is: I love BlueSky.

I've decided to try experimenting with 3D modeling I don't remember much about the Blender tutorials I watched like 2 years ago, and I mess up a lot, but I'm pretty happy with what I achieved this morning in a couple of hours, everything considered. #indiedev #gamedev #3dmodeling #blender

regular reminder that it's very useful to indie devs if you review their games on steam, especially if their games have less than 10 reviews. games can't have positive ratings on steam until they hit the 10 review mark, and they get a boost in discoverability when they hit this threshold 🙏

I recently installed Shinigami Eyes on my browser mostly out of curiosity but also to avoid supporting and following anti-trans people. The funny part? As of now, most of the red links I found are news sites.

Man the thing about Ko-Fi and Patreon and stuff is like, for the price of a gacha pull per month, you can be part of the reason why someone you believe in gets to pursue what they actually want to do. Through the power of many you can help ppl you like chase their dreams for a gacha pull per month.

Today was probably to most prolific day of work in months. I must say: doing it on stream while chilling with friends and some nice lo-fi music in the background really helped getting things done. I even ended up streaming waaay more than I intended. Like, more than half an hour more.
