Procedurally generated world maps, with biome appropriate town names, fully simulated weather, and using a shader to make it look hand painted! #indiedev #gamedev

My new favorite thread on /r/gamedev, we should all aspire to be as ambitious as 4.3 Million Frogs guy

Going out of town for the weekend, so won't be able to finish #gmtk. I don't mind since I never really submit these things for competition anyways. Next week I think I'll find time to finish up the 96 hours!

More progress on #gmtk jam game. Hexagon tile world generation (reworked for 3D from an old project) and fog of war!

TIL I don't know how to create different animation poses in Blender... so I'm going to export each one as it's own model 🙃

Made a little knight for my #gmtk jam! I'm new to Blender so this has been a good learning opportunity for 3D stuff.

permadeath gamedev where you cancel the game if it ever crashes during development

Deltarune chapter 3 was the much needed filler episode before the emotionally heavy chapter 4. Toby Fox really is a genius for presenting them together this way.

I’ve played every version of Lucid Nightmares from very first prototype. Give the free demo a try!

Been getting pretty good at this.

I like to watch the little people of my game move around like a stop motion film

Arch Linux is calling out to me like the Green Goblin Mask...

Did a quick sketch of my cat. First time using a paper and pencil since freshman year of college lol

Kinda nerdy but here's a brief explanation of how I'm writing tests for my code, to make sure the game's major systems don't break or leak memory! Also, I'm running builds for Mac, Windows, and Ubuntu via GitHub actions every now and then.

Don't mess with mama bear. #pixelart #ドット絵

Hard to see how much bigger this bear is without seeing him next to a player character. Anyways, he's about x3 taller and x6 wider.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG ;_;

As a game dev, I am a pendulum that swings between weeks of crazy productivity and then months of being a lazy dumb ass

Sooo now that we've got SDF fonts, we HAD to try remaking Maplestory's damage effect. (Don't worry I'm not keeping it lol) #gamedev #indiedev

Sorry, nerdy post: I've added SDF font rendering and 9-slicing to my engine for better UI. This font (Renogare, from Celeste) isn't the one I'll be using in-game, it was just the roundest normal looking font I have installed. #gamedev

People don't comment on stuff enough here. I want to know what you think of my work! I want to tell you what I think of your work! I want to have long off-topic discussion threads in the comments! Maybe (definitely) because, on most sites, comment sections are filled with the worst people ever?

For sound effects, there's now a built-in synth designer (pretty much JFXR's UI). Here's a quick video of my trying—and failing—to design an attack sound for the slime enemy!

Finally added DearImGui by @ocornut.bsky.social to my project, and built this monster editor in two days. Really happy with how it came out! #gamedev

This meme was, 1000% unironically, the reference we used for the Beholder's attack animation

Behold! A Beholder! (Based on Eye of Cthulu from Terraria 👁️) #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Finished making a synth engine for my game so, instead of pre-recorded audio, sounds can be dynamically generated on the spot! This is me spamming my keyboard to play random notes. #gamedev #indiedev

We've got dungeons now. #gamedev #indiedev

Finally 100%'d The Knight Witch by @supermegateam.bsky.social. Such an incredible game, really regret not trying it sooner. Might be my favorite Metroidvania I've played in years!

Working on adding different buildings to towns. #gamedev #pixelart #ドット絵

YES!!! Finally! (The game is "Dragonsweeper", by the same game dev who made 2023's "Storyteller", another fantastic game and a favorite of mine. Go play them both!)
