It's been too long since I've shown actual game footage of my four-directional falling block puzzle game, so here you go! #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #madewithmonogame #solodev #fallingblocks #puzzlegame

thinking about making a game for my wife for christmas instead of making the game i've been working on I think I need a break from it

Before and After #solodev #monogame #indiedev #fallingblocks

Added a (very rough) first pass at boss introduction banners! They'll help you learn what you're about to face. The colors are based on the core itself, but... there's definitely a lot of work to be done here #indiedev #solodev #monogame #fallingblocks

not me irl

Brycicle is one of the characters that will be playable in my #indiegame! It always annoyed me that characters in falling block puzzle games didn't change anything with the gameplay, so my goal is to have characters that actually and meaningfully change the way the game is played. #oc #art

Copy Cats is approaching 2800 wishlists! Can we reach 3k before the game comes out on 29th of October? Can we go even further beyond? Wishlist Copy Cats on Steam and try the free demo! store.steampowered.com/app/4700300/... #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #puzzlegame

It's not much, but it's a start: A title screen for my falling block puzzle game! On a related note, I'm taking suggestions for the game's name lol #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #monogame

If, like me, you're religious, and, also like me, you're trying to create something, this podcast episode is a must-listen (regardless of your faith tradition): www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbkO...

Spent this week vastly improving the UI. Still a lot of work to be done, but I'm really happy with the visual indicators showing the current status of everything #monogame #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

I'm staying up way too late to work on this kind of thing But I also love how my UI is starting to become more polished so whatever lol #indiedev #monogame #solodev

WIP UI improvements! (UI dev is a pain) #screenshotsaturday #monogame #indiedev #solodev #fallingblocks #puzzlegame

I added bosses to my #fallingblock #indiegame! This one, the gravity boss, causes gravity to change randomly and that only items that change gravity spawn on the board. Also the game gets faster the less health you have now #monogame #solodev

My least favorite thing is UI development but that’s what my game needs most right now 🫠

Watching the Fire Emblem direct yesterday has been dangerous for both my wallet and my falling block puzzle game because I want to make a game with dozens of characters now lol

New oc for a little physical card game I'm doing on the side so I don't go insane debugging my main game lol Her name is Dani Saylor, and while she LOVES knives and acrobatics, she promises that she's completely sane*. *Medical professionals have not evaluated or verified this statement.

The game I’m already developing is perfect for the countdown gmtk jam theme lol Guess I jumped the gun by 8 months

This isn't what I was hoping for when I updated my game to MonoGame's new Vulkan backend lol Now to figure out what I did wrong...

Here’s hoping the brand-new Vulkan backend will make development on Mac/Linux a whole lot easier!

This didn’t last

Impromptu Memora Wanderer NPC making time! Post your characters and I'll choose some at random and make them, and they might appear in-game like in towns. Boosts appreciated! Here are some I made previously:

playing suboptimally to make sure code is working #indiedev #monogame #solodev #fallingblocks

Mostly QoL stuff this week: Added a countdown at the start of the game and the omino has the status icon in addition to the border color Bombs were replaced with a generator status to get energy too (main way to get it now) #screenshotsaturday #monogame #indiedev #solodev #fallingblocks #tetris

This week for #screenshotsaturday, I changed the default resolution of the game to 1920x1080p, implemented a bag system so that you don't get the same piece 5 times within 7 turns, and fixed the window resizing/scaling code that would mess up the UI #indiedev #madewithmonogame #solodev #gamedev

window resizing is a pain windows are panes

Anyone else out there making a falling block puzzle game for their #indiedev or #gamedev project? ( #fallingblock games include #tetris #puzzleleague and #puyopuyo for those not familiar with the concept)

trying left dock panel (task bar) on my Linux machine to help it not feel so much like Windows this'll take some getting used to...

This is what that was for lol #madewithmonogame #indiedev #solodev #gamedev

sometimes you just need some bad programmer art to make progress #indiedev #gamedev #solodev

I haven't posted anything for the past couple of weeks for #screenshotsaturday because I was busy reworking the rendering code to make connected textures and autogenerate the omino shape renders And I am very proud of the result #indiedev #solodev #madewithmonogame (Images are before and after)

Easily the best phrase I've heard today was "Love your adversaries."

My four-directional falling-block puzzle game is really starting to come to life! I added one of the character renders, did some much-needed UI adjustments (overhaul in the works), and solved some bugs with window resizing #screenshotsaturday #MadeWithMonoGame #indiedev #monogame #solodev #gamedev
