This looks amazing

That's so cool

It's hard to renovate your home when it's just flat white walls with no ceiling, and you only have a pink box and a pink cylinder to gussy it up. But hey, it's a start.

Hours of wondering why my the 'preview object' in my item placement system was very bad at detecting interfering objects. It turned out I was using the wrong type of collision shape all along 🤦‍♂️Fixed in three clicks.

Still trying to wrap my head around this item-picking-up-and-placing thing. I got the little ghost object to detect other objects and turn red to indicate you can't place the item there. And it almost works. But why do things always ALMOST work? 😭

immersive sims are some of my favourite games. Especially those with wonky, janky physics that are often more amusing than the game itself. I would love to make a game of this style one day, though it's really challenging to get it to feel right.

Experimeting a little with 3D in Godot. Lots to learn still. Here's just a little 3rd person controller. It has a basic node-based state machine and a camera that follows around and collides with objects so it doesn't get stuck inside.

Hey, I know it's been a few days, but it's just landed on me. Pico8. It's a small game engine used to make (mainly) small games with Lua. I've never used it myself, but perhaps it can interest you!

I gave myself the challenge to make a game in LÖVE over the weekend. I ended up going a little bit over the deadline because I didn't find music for it until Monday morning, but I still consider it a success. This is ASTRO BURST, a basic vertical space shooter game.

Small weekend project. A very simple asteroid buster game. The main gameplay is almost finished. You can move around, shoot asteroids and power up. I have in mind a rogue-like aspect where you exchange your points for upgrades or to unlock said powerups. Will it be too ambitious? #gamedev #indiedev

No engine. I'm using LÖVE / love2d which is a framework to make games with lua

I think my brain has finally clicked and I've begun to understand how to use Lua and love2d. Tables and metatables suddenly make sense.

thank you for reaching out! I look forward to seeing your too.

How to make indie dev friends? I feel I'm always out of the loop

That looks absolutely lovely

Great! Now you can stay inside and avoid it

This looks gorgeous. I love this style of pixel art. Reminds me of the GBA.

Working on a dungeon background.

First person turn-based battle system slowly but surely getting together. #godot #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #pixelart #retro #rpg

Early prototype/mockup of my new project. A sort of first person dungeon crawler where you go through rooms until you find the deepest end of the dungeon. The plan is to have very simple turn-based combat, looting and npc's spewing obscure lore. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #pixelart #rpg #retro

After an involuntary break (previous computer died), I'm back on the beginner indie-dev train. With a Flappy Bird clone, of course. It's not the prettiest, but it works and, more importantly, it's finished. Done in Godot this time. I like Godot, usually. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #pixelart

wait, is this made with LÖVE? that's amazing!

Still here. Currently trying to figure out an inventory system

Absolutely mind-blowing (also I really want dark fantasy sailor moon now)

Slowly, things are starting to look like something.

I think I'm finally happy with how collisions work. I spent too much time reinventing the wheel, but I learned a lot in the process

Unfortunately, the holidays are over and progress will slow down again

#gamedev #indiedev #solodev #love2d #lua

looks comfy!

that looks sick!

Thank you!

Early stages of level navigation. It was difficult to fit everything in less than 60 secs, so it might be a bit chaotic.

Possibly one of the most frustrating programming moments. Get something working somewhere, but for some reason the same thing doesn't work somewhere else. WHY do you work there but not here?!
