Guys, I can't believe I finally get to say this, but I am announcing my #IndieGame on February 18! That's right, in 8 days, I'll finally get to show you guys what I've been working on for the last year. I'll be teasing with some info over the next week, so stay tuned!
me: loves making games 💕
also me: has no idea how to tell anyone about them 😭
how do you fellow #indiedev keep up with making content and posting regularly? let alone run a whole promo strategy... asking for a friend (spoiler: the friend is me) #indiegamedev #gamedev
I'm laughing for 2 min straight while looping the clip. That giant sword made my day 😂
🚀 ASCII Space Invaders? Hell yeah!
Just dropped a tutorial: TypeScript + @shaisrc/tty renderer + zzfx for sound = retro gaming in your browser 👾

#TypeScript #GameDev #ASCII #Tutorial #WebDev #IndieDev #JavaScript
🎇 Beta.2 drop! Added scaled character rendering to @shaisrc/tty
Now your ASCII bosses can be ACTUALLY intimidating 👾
Try it: npm install @shaisrc/tty

True! Those unused imports can break builds with strict tsconfig. Quick fix: run your linter with --fix before building, or set "noUnusedLocals": false in tsconfig. But don't skip actual type errors - those catch real bugs. Separate the noise from the safety! 👍
I get wanting fast previews, but this teaches ignoring errors instead of fixing them. TypeScript catches bugs as you type - faster than any CI. "Sloppy in staging" becomes a bad habit. Better: fix errors as they appear. Your staging should be as clean as main! 💪
Composable types are the key! You validate rows, Transpose<> for cols, and flatten the 3x3 grids to reuse logic. It’s cleaner than 1000 lines of hardcoding, but honestly, implementing a matrix transpose in the type system still feels like a fever dream. 😵💫 Zig wins on sanity! 🍻
🎮 Beta release: @shaisrc/tty - minimalist ASCII rendering for game devs
✨ Game loop, input, animations, layers
⚡ Zero deps, TypeScript-first
🎯 Perfect for roguelikes & retro games

Feedback welcome! 🚀

Spent 6hrs debugging: nobody could die in combat. HP hit 0 → next attack "healed" them back.
The bug? ...target spread read maxHitPoints instead of hitPoints. TSC was happy. Tests green.
One line. Six hours 💀
Bug fixed → Goblin dead( but also Groknak 😭)

Wow! Amazing! I'm a bit envious 🫣
Every time I see a new post of yours in my timeline I need to smile, the vibe of your game is so amazing
building a complete D20 engine in TypeScript, based on the SRD 5.2.1 rules
✨ full combat rules
✨ character progression
✨ 300+ spells
✨ data-driven
here's a taste: dice rolling with advantage 🎲
Launching v0.1.0 soon
#TypeScript #GameDev #DnD #D20 #cRPG
working on something for TypeScript game devs
ever tried implementing D&D combat rules from scratch? 🎲
yeah, it's a nightmare 🙈
(more soon)
I know exactly, when I start to play this I'm gonna get crazy, cause I'll overthink every decision 😅
Its LIVE

Looks so amazing, nice work 😍
It is done! We now have complete artwork for all the new cards of the coin flip archetype! Also incredible to see everyone having fun with the new cards in our ongoing playtest.

Friday: "I'll just write a small test for my tilemanager"
Sunday: Entire puzzle game exists
Archive Tetris - document chaos on a grid
Do I polish this and throw it on itch.io or do I have the discipline to return to my actual game? 😂
I have a problem. HEEEELPP! 💀

Blue picture with ice cube that reads: Fuck Ice

Vending Machine DeckBuilder incoming? 🕵️♀️
When was putting cards into a grid not fun? 😅
Linting result with 469 errors
POV: You set up strict linter rules to force yourself to write clean code
Also you: *ignores 469 errors*
This is fine. 🔥

Hey, welcome 🙋♀️
I am also pretty new to bluesky, nice to meet you ☺️ I love the work you shared.
Thanks! Took way too long to realize floats were the problem 😅 Determinism is non-negotiable for replays
It's always wild to notice how much of a difference camera positioning and zoom makes for the vibe. Small details, huge impact 📸
Yay for sure! Meanwhile I'm over here with my colored rectangles as placeholders 😅 Love the green hair!
Yeah just gotta keep chipping away at it. Thanks for the motivation! 💪
That takes guts. Respect for going all-in and actually shipping. How did you stay motivated through the grind?
