Yesterday I put together a reel showcasing the work I have done over the past year on FireFly. I quite like how it ended up so I figured I would share :) #indiegames #gamedev #godot

Yesterday was an experiment day to see if I could get FireFly to both run well and play well on my phone, and I think I came up with a control system that really works with the game’s movement!! And, it’s just sooo cool being able to run this on my phone. #indiegames #gamedev #godot

Finally finished re-decorating 🫟The Slime Zone🫟 Does it look pretty? Or is it too distracting? #gamedev #indiegame #speedrunning #pixelart

After playing Silksong, I was awe-struck by the use of parallax to create depth and environments that felt alive. It inspired me to apply it to Firefly. What do we think? Cool enough to polish all the old levels like this, or should we focus on building new ones? #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart

In FireFly, your Glow isn't just visual, it's your power! The faster you move, the brighter you shine. The brighter you shine, the bigger your boosts! #indiegame #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #CozyVibes

Released a short promoting FIREFLY this afternoon! Wanted to focus on showcasing the games mechanics, what do we think? #indiedev #indiegames #pixelart #gamedev #platformer

Any time I’m bullshitting music for firefly, there’s a part of me that’s terrified I’m just accidentally recreating a Zelda song ive absorbed into my subconscious brain.

Was polishing up some new content updates, and my ADHD-ass impulsively pivoted to redesigning checkpoint visuals. Was the distraction worth it? #GameDev #PixelArt #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieDev #gaming

Made a thing for my local Smash scene! This fall’s invitational uses Twitch points for vote-ins. I made a Python → Google Sheets → JSON pipeline so stream widgets & sites show live results. Open source for democracy & for all who want! bbussell.com/GLRA-Democracy/ #SmashBros

When I first experimented with moving platforms, my initial attempt at allowing the player to conserve their velocity functioned by adding the platform's velocity to the player's velocity whenever they jumped... They uh, don't work like this anymore. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Woke up on an impulse and decided to finally write a devlog for FireFly, my momentum-driven platformer about a lost firefly. Check it our here: bbussell.itch.io/firefly/devl... or check out the game itself! I’d love your thoughts. #indiegamedev #indiegame #godot

bbussell.itch.ioDev Log?Devlog? Hi! I have been developing this game for the past year and a half or so, and I have decided I should start writing a dev log here! Maybe it’s weirdly late considering where I am in developme.....

Bf treated me and Loveland (frog child) to a light show in Gatlinburg last night, and of course, Loveland asked me to take his picture! 💚 #loveland💚

Season 2 finale of rings of power has a character looking at the camera and saying “You’re just a Lord of the Rings” But it’s actually awesome.

My first game, My teammate started juggling me and very intentionally landed a kill confirm. And they just kept going after me. So I started attacking me teammate back. And the other team just stopped and watched. Once my teammate died I did a little jig then jumped off stage.

You are up to date.
