@gamemakerstoolkit.com I just bought and am loving Word Play on iOS, it was already a blast on desktop, now I'm worried I might play it too much with it in my phone all the time... But am I going crazy, or should it be "[...] if they're the last tile" at the bottom of this perk description?

My submission to the Comfy Jam: Spring 2026 is chaotic, wild, and tasty! ShellFire was made in GameMaker for Windows and supports your keyboard and your gaming controller! Play it here: zacdevdude.itch.io/shellfire #gamedev #indiedev #gamejam

I have finally played and defeated Shadow of the Colossus, the PS4 version specifically. What stood out to me most was how empty the open world was compared to modern games. As a result, it feels so much larger and you're really given the chance to take in the awe-inspiring view!

I made a Lego MOC of Team Asobi's Astro Bot! You can find it with instructions on the Brickit app: brickit.app/ideas/338284 or on Rebrickable: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-220... I am still designing more! #lego #astrobot #brickheadz #MOC #legomoc #LEGOcreation #LEGOcustom

@gamemaker.io has a physics system and it turns out... I have a little to learn about using it properly. Yes, the Taco Tides remake is going well, why do you ask? #gamedev #indiedev #thisismarketing #nyoom #dejavu

A member of the dev team for Bonsai Buddies drew all of us and I've never felt more seen 🥲

ZacDevDude @zackow264.itch.io · 07/04/2025

I'm very much not a visual artist these days, I prefer to figure out design problems in games. But back about 6-7 years ago, I drew quite a lot! And of course, before that, there was the epic saga of stick-figure spaceship battles... an even bigger crossover than Endgame, lemme tell you that.

Because I found them again and they made me chuckle, here are the original concepts drawn up for the enemy ships in Taco Tides! I've typed up the flavour text again so that it's legible. Of the six ships depicted, four made it into the original jam version of the game.

Without downloading any new pictures, where are you mentally?

Spent today trying to get a rudimentary AI working for the enemy ships in the remake of Taco Tides, and so far... I think we've got something good going here! #gamedev #indiedev If you wanna try the original game in all its glory, here's the link! howtobehayes.itch.io/taco-tides

Finished #astrobot tonight, just got a couple trophies and the Speedway DLC left. My mind was blown at every turn with this game. 1/8

Started #astrobot today. I was expecting it to recreate the joy I felt playing Astro's Playroom, and it has exceeded all expectations so far! If you're a #gamedev and looking to study game feel, Astro Bot is an absolute-must case-study! There's also a playboy bunny bot in Snake's magazine 👀

Got some new stuff to play! Won't let these two get buried in the backlog, I plan to play them both soon!

If you like yourself a meaty #boardgame, I recommend Terraforming Mars. Get the Big Box and all expansions, it's very much worth it! First time playing with the new promos! Six hours well-spent! #terraformingmars

His tactical know-how has been essential in my campaign. #terraformingmars #boardgame Yes, we're still playing. It's a long game. Even with Preludes. Good though!

Please excuse the horrendous video quality. Maybe Snipping Tool wasn't the best choice for this... Slime dude! Slime dude is secretly spiky! (Don't tell anyone, it's still a secret) He's not feature-complete, but he's certainly reached minimum-viable level! #indiedev #gamedev #gamejam

Heya there #gamedev and #indiedev, here's my contribution to #screenshotsaturday (I hope this counts) I made a cat being! His name is Tuki. He also roll (not animated yet). Animation and visual art are absolutely not my strong suits in game dev, so feedback is welcome! If he cute, please inform!
