It’s finally time! My game is out and available for anyone to play. I’m nervous, and excited, and all the emotions. 😁😅😬 store.steampowered.com/app/4405240/... #gameDev #indieGames #gaming #godotEngine

My game is now apparently on torrent sites. Feels like a weird milestone of sorts. In unrelated news, it is currently 20% off on Steam, if anyone is interested. store.steampowered.com/app/4405240/... #gameDev #godotEngine #indieGames #happyHalloween

I, for one, welcome this incoming era of Beyond games. #gaming #videoGames #nintendoSwitch

It’s fun! When I first tried it things just kind of clicked very nicely for me, and I was having fun building stuff. Since then I’ve done a few jam style games and released my first commercial game on Steam, all because I keep having fun along the way. #gameDev #godotEngine

Trying out making a TCG style card game. Thinking it might be fun to have an RPG layered on top, so the player can experience the game evolving over time with expansions and new sets being released. #gameDev #godotEngine #prototype

Coming out in less than 2 weeks! The Door at the End of the Hall is an anomaly finder set in an old manor hallway where you have 6 doors to choose from. Find anomalies, decipher them, and follow their direction to escape. store.steampowered.com/app/4405240 #wishlistWednesday #indieGames #godot

I probably should mention again that my game, The Door at the End of the Hall, is participating in Next Fest right now! Give the demo a try if you’re a fan of anomaly finders or observation games. 😁 store.steampowered.com/app/4405240/... #gaming #indieGames #steam #nextFest

Almost there. Piling is good, no explosions or too much jiggling. I just need to get the pile to settle a bit more so it's not constantly shifting. #godotEngine #gameDev #screenshotSaturday

When things go wrong with compute shaders, at least there's usually something interesting to look at. #godotEngine #gameDev #screenshotSaturday

Trying out compute shaders. Currently trying to get some good piling behavior via PBD (position-based dynamics). This one almost works, it's just a bit... explosive. 😅 #godotEngine #gameDev #screenshotSaturday

Now that my game is ready for release (coming out July 20th!), I'm back to prototyping to find my next project. Whipped this up over a couple of hours. It's pretty satisfying, so I might play with it a bit more. #gameDev #prototype #godotEngine #gaming #screenshotSaturday

It's official, my first game The Door at the End of the Hall will be in the June Next Fest. But more importantly, it will fully release on July 20th! Wishlist it now to be notified: store.steampowered.com/app/4405240/... #gameDev #indieGames #gaming #godotEngine

Just committed the 49th anomaly to my upcoming game, The Door at the End of the Hall. One more and I’ll hit my goal of 50. 😄 Try the demo and/or wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4405240/... #gameDev #soloDev #indieDev #gaming #godotEngine #wishlistWednesday

The demo for The Door at the End of the Hall is now available! store.steampowered.com/app/4556870/... It contains 15 anomalies to find, and a unique ending. Wishlist the full game if you like it! #gameDev #soloDev #indieDev #gaming #godotEngine

My budget is $0. So I learned just enough editing to make this trailer. It's not perfect, but it is mine and I'm proud of it. 😁 youtu.be/f2gZWXBGJh8 If the game looks fun, please consider wishlisting: store.steampowered.com/app/4405240/... . #gameDev #soloDev #indieDev #gaming #godotEngine

My Steam build was rejected because “the credits aren’t scrollable.” There’s only one page of credits. Solo dev problems? 😂 #gameDev #indieDev #soloDev

Boring #screenshotSaturday this week. Just compiled a list of what I think I have left to do before I could conceivably release. Good luck reading my chicken scratch. 😅 #gameDev #godotEngine

Been working on this Exit 8 style anomaly finder game for the past couple of weeks. Working title is The Long Hallway, but subject to change. #screenshotSaturday #godotEngine #gameDev

Apparently I'm a stereotypical, chronic project starter. #gameDev #godotEngine

running running always running never moving if we could just pull ahead maybe things would improve but we're going nowhere tired so tired but we can't stop lest we fall we are stuck on a treadmill of someone else's design always running going nowhere #poem #poetry

Sleeping the days away. #gamedev #godotengine

This is not at all what I was trying to do, but it’s very mesmerizing. #gamedev #godotengine #bugs

It’s been a while, but I’m starting something again. Very placeholder art, but I also kinda like the style. #gamedev #godotengine

Idk what y’all are talking about. Doors are EZ #gamedev #godotengine

sorry about this

“It was my fear of failure that first kept me from attempting the Master Work. Now, I’m beginning what I could have started ten years ago. But I’m happy at least that I didn’t wait twenty years.” The Alchemist #books #quote #motivation

Dear aspiring #gamedev in Gen Z, Sometimes I see you taking rejection really hard… and I want you to know that it’s not you. The game industry is seriously struggling, and the result is that it’s harder than ever to break in. Love, A millennial #gamedev who is rooting for you against all odds

It’s fun being a #godot fan because when a new version drops it’s like an impromptu holiday. Seeing the community excited and engaged is refreshing, and a much needed levity break from *gestures vaguely at everything* #gamedev #godotengine

Just added a web version of my Fire Escape game from #vimjam5. It’s not perfect, since the og version was made to use Jolt and have some desktop-isms, but it worked well enough I figured I would publish it anyway. renolc.itch.io/fire-escape #gamedev #godotengine

@heartbeast.bsky.social I’m having difficulty playing the most recent episode of your podcast. I’ve tried in a few different apps and evening trying the direct link to the audio file in your rss

Watching The Wizard of Oz with my boys. When they go to get the witches broom the lion brings a comically large net and hammer, the tin man brings his axe, and the scarecrow straight up brings a revolver. He truly is the one with brains.

It’s finished and I’m tired. Going to take a break, but I have many ideas on how I might expand this game in the future. Maybe in a commercial version? renolc.itch.io/fire-escape #gamedev #godotengine #vimjam5

Working on the all important pause screen for that fire game. Couldn’t help but be a little extra with it. #gamedev #godotengine #vimjam5

I’m making a game about throwing things out windows in order to save them from a house fire. 🏠🔥 #gamedev #godotengine #vimjam5

Working on a game jam idea. Art assets by @kaylousberg.bsky.social #gamedev #godotengine #vimjam5

I’ve never felt so bad at math until I tried making an active ragdoll. I can make an active character, I can make a ragdoll, but I haven’t quite nailed the combo yet. 🙃 #gamedev #godotengine

It’s uh… a feature? #gamedev #godotengine

Felt like working on some tooling. Which of course means I’m procrastinating working on what I should be. #gamedev #godotengine

Testing out vid support. Here’s my first attempt at a rigid body first person controller. #gamedev #godotengine
