I don't know what we did to deserve @gamechops.com but I love their music whilst focusing and programming. The music they publish has become the new Kevin MacLeod on videos and streams, recognizable and everywhere. Let's chill in the good timeline! www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIja... #GameChops

The Kirby Air Riders Amiibo might be the coolest amiibo I own. They are big, heavy, bold and are interesting functionally. You level up the rider as a companion during races and can change cart by littlerally moving the character to the other cart. Would love to see more ideas like this...

@charalanahzard.bsky.social recently raised a question, what defines an indie game? From my pov, it has to be money. We borrowed AAA from the finance world and it scales down. Define a modern line for AAA, AA and so on. 'Indie' going to anything above $5mill a year feels wrong imo.

#Google has become even more useless to me, failing to be second nature at spell check. I would prefer not to burn literal jet fuel by using #AI to get over my Dyslexia but here we are... (Copying from the input is unformatted. Now I need to actively mess with the text, messed up many times)

Excited and happy to be apart of it! 😍

Found time to start working on my #GameEngine and added an Asset Browser and ability to add meta data to assets. ImGui makes this remarkably easy to prototype. Next to add proper selection/inspector editing. #GameDev

And this is why Vibe coding will never take off. It's hard enough to use AI as a search engine, let alone a pair programmer:

After math of a circular reference in CMake... 😢

A must watch for any GameDev. Also it's nice to see Ahoy still making videos. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Jou...

Niche post: Coding a #GameEngine in C++. Installed #ReSharperC++ in #VisualStudio and **Moved a File to another Folder** so elated that I no longer need to take 5 minutes to consider exactly the correct folder, every, single, time, I make a file in my project. www.jetbrains.com/resharper-cp...

Hank Green posted an interesting video about a(nother) tangible difference between blsky, Twitter, and Threads. The information about link downranking might be obvious to some but is super important for #gamedev (posting links to trailers or steam/itch/other stores) youtu.be/D4ghgVq9z4M?...

I might have already guessed it could be null Visual Studio 2022... 🤦

Studios first game needs to be pulled because they can't find the code🔗. Please just use a private GitHub to backup your projects if you cannot think of anything better. You do not need to use a console - use GitHub desktop. Please at least backup your projects! www.pcgamer.com/games/indie-...

At least a quarter of the posts in the game dev feed! 🎮

LTT put out a video on wide screen gaming. Must watch if you're ever thinking about user interfaces or how your game is rendered or how you are giving players the information they require to play. Certainly an argument for better UI control in games. #gamedev #indiedev youtu.be/TOlIvcmrUFc?...

After a lot of setup I've added Text Rendering, I'll be I need to add Scale and Justification/Alignment but those can come later. For now it loads from file and takes text - the rest are the next features. #gamedev #indiedex

Today I added the ability to render only part of a given texture to my Engine. On my way to Sprites and Tilesets/maps. One Feature at a time! (Also does transparency but the sprite is off centre so was testing placement) #gamedev #gameengine giphy.com/gifs/gamedev...

Had a conversation with Chris Maltby, the creator of #gbstudio. Spoke about how to keep the vision of the product focused and managing a public project. As Tools Engineer GBS is solving the problems tools were made for, user friendly, focused product. Love to see it. #gamedev #gameboy

Taken me all day and a bit of architectural design but I have two rectangles not touching using a Rigidbody. Making things from scratch (like an engine) is hard but rewarding. #SpiritCity has helped me in taking breaks (productivity tool). Full review pending. #gamedev Gif: i.imgur.com/C3PU7ux.gif

Struggling to focus on side projects. Developing a little 2D engine and resolved a ticket - add circle on circle collision. If you too have a project you want to work on - try picking up a small task! One ticket at a time! #gamedev

Advice for GameDev and especially taking on a large project. Organise all your tasks and bugs, prioritise what you need, should and want to do! I am developing a Game Engine, I could not take on everything without good organisation! This is Github Issues/Projects. One task at a time!

As both a software developer and a gamedev I feel very seen by this quote. Players don't play our code they play our games.

The true test of good code is how easy it is to change it. Martin Fowler. Refactoring (2019).

So my Control key keeps randomly firing. I've changed keyboards so it must be the laptop one. I've cleaned it with air and brushes. No luck. Now I've disabled the keys with auto hotkey so the situation is under control.

For my birthday my amazing partner made this #Zelda Bottle storage box. I think it looks amazing and goes nicely on this #TearsOfTheKingdom shelf.

Welcome to the bsky game dev orientation 🧵! Let's get you started with the basics of bsky, finding other game devs, and posting about your games! Btw, this is based on the amazing artist orientation thread from @purlane.ink; make sure to check it out if you’re also in the art side of game dev!

Managed to implement snake tail growth using Test Driven Development but not without a few headscratchers. Tests sometimes 'complete' but Rider refuses to let go. Appears to be an issue when running Edit & Play tests, need to run one or the other. Never happened before :shrug: Making progress... 😀

Start of my project. 154 Tests and basic player movement for an Arcade Game Prototype project. Not everyone finds joy in TDD especially with games but this has been blissful and relaxing to chip away at during my evenings. Do what makes you happy :) #gamedev #Unity #programming
