Social media fucking sucks, it's just bots now, I'm definitely considering quitting and just moving all my thoughts to my website and my Discord

Comparing the Newgrounds Demo main menu for Slidegame to the current build's shows just how far I've come with the game I'll update the demo eventually, probably around the time I make the Steam Demo (no promises) #gamedev #indiedev #newgrounds #webdev #noai

I decided to have a look on Twitter and it's depressing that everything I see on there is just vibecoded with AI. I've spent years of my life learning to make cool shit and lazy cunts just ask AI to make the shit for them with zero skill. At least I know what's in my codebase because I wrote it.

I rewrote part of the parallax system and changed up some of the game's colours and added more details, my brother recorded some music for the game too! #gamedev #indiedev #art #pixelart #webdev

I animated the sun then recorded the game, I'm really happy with how the parallax came out :) #gamedev #indiedev #art #pixelart #webdev

Had an idea at work, I made the thing in like 4 hours I'll try to make this into a small little game soon #gamedev #indiedev #art #pixelart #webdev

I've been working on my game a lot. Here's chaos mode, a mode designed to be as difficult as possible, constantly fucking with the game. It isn't required for 100% because I'm pretty sure nobody other than me will actually be able to comprehend playing it. #gamedev #webdev #indiedev #game #chaos

Tried to make a Tiktok account to post some videos of my game and my account got banned before I could even log in and it wouldn't let me appeal, so I made a new account, it also got banned instantly wtf lol

I spent quite a while today optimising the filesize of my game's replay files, I got them roughly 16x smaller, making the title screen replays go from 3mb to 186kb Please give the game a try if you have the time :) slidegame.waspventman.co.uk (PC only) #gamedev #indiedev #webdev #newgrounds #game

I added negative surfaces to my game, causing you to push instead of pull! Quite the odd change of controls, yet it still works for speedrunning! Please give the game a try if you have the time :) slidegame.waspventman.co.uk (PC only) #gamedev #indiedev #webdev #newgrounds #game

I love watching all the title screen simulations, it's so satisfying :) If I see cool replays in my Discord server I might just add them to the pool of replays :D Please give the game a try if you have the time :) slidegame.waspventman.co.uk (PC only) #gamedev #indiedev #webdev #newgrounds #game

I made the first challenging level in my fun sliding game, it's difficult with a fun shortcut :) The replay from this video is also in the pool of title screen replays :D Please give it a try if you have the time :) slidegame.waspventman.co.uk (PC) #gamedev #indiedev #webdev #newgrounds

I've added the ability to save replays in my fun slidey game, I made a few of them play on the new title screen to show how the game works :D Please give it a try if you have the time :) slidegame.waspventman.co.uk (PC) #gamedev #indiedev #webdev #newgrounds

I've made the ninth level for my funny sliding game, 08 - Accelerant Flings, the final level before 09, the first true test of skill. All levels have nasty gold times, good luck :) Please give it a try if you have the time :) slidegame.waspventman.co.uk (PC) #gamedev #indiedev #webdev #newgrounds

I've added more levels to my fun little whimsical game where you go fast on ice, I've been experimenting with negative friction surfaces in levels and how they can be helpful or unhelpful Please give it a test if you can (PC only) slidegame.waspventman.co.uk #gamedev #indiedev #webdev #newgrounds
