Been away for a while - game dev is on pause for a bit. Here’s a cat video to let everyone know I’m still alive.💕

The perils of experimenting with your code. #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev #solodev

Me, hiding from the dialogue trees I have to write/code. #indiedev #solodev

Everything takes longer than you think it will, but hey, it works! #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Pics of the kitties to brighten your afternoon. #catsofbluesky

I designed a maze! And I must have done an ok job, because sometimes I forget the way through… #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

The bones of the lab area are done! Designing a maze that wasn’t just a walking simulator was tricky, but I think I did ok! #indiedev #solodev #gamedev

I’m reorganizing the way I handle rooms in my game, which will be better in the long run, but boy there’s a looooot of debugging to do in order to switch to the new system. #indiedev #gamedev

Walt is acting as moral support.

Progress update: customizable input mapping is done! Phew… On to more fun things.🫠 #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #screenshotsaturday

Big Lilly lookin like she belongs in a biker bar. #catsofbluesky

Done!

Who knew controller mapping was such a pain!? Not me!! It’ll be worth it though. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #solodev

#eepy team. #catsofbluesky

My face when you want me to go out instead of letting me hide under my blanket to code all weekend. #indiedev #gamedev #solodev

I've been working on controller support, and I'm most of the way done (on the duel screen), but boy for something so important controller support is the least rewarding.

Nothing to show or even talk about because it does nothing new at all.

Hundreds supported very soon though.

Does anyone have any good tutorials for programming a control mapping menu? I’ve got it figured out myself, but the code I have in mind is gonna be loooooooong, and I feel like there must be a shortcut. #indiedev #gamedev

Happy Tuesday from Sushi! #catsofbluesky

SOUND ON

My first #gamemusicchallenge is here!

@southwoodsstudio.bsky.social challenged me to compose a track in the style of Transistor and #starfox
Ended up with something in the style of #hyperlightdrifter

This is so cool!!!!! Such a good encapsulation of both vibes. Wonderfully done - I look forward to the other ones!!

The game has a Start Menu! (with a working title) and some updated backgrounds/art! #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Sushi says good evening

Just some cubes. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #pixelart

I think Rose likes the new sinks. #catsofbluesky

For goodness’ sake Dove chocolate wrapper, I’m a married man.

I made warp points at the bottom of the cliff! Where do they take you? NOT WHERE I INTENDED!! Back to the drawing board lol. I probably just misplaced a coordinate somewhere... #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Haven’t posted much lately - been dealing with a lot and the vibes aren’t stellar. In the meantime, here’s Sushi.💕

Whaaaaaat so cool! Good luck!!

Like many games, you’re kinda supposed to go right at the start of my game. But I do have some cute hijinks planned for if you go left. ;) #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Oooooh yeah very Pokémon Red/Blue Mt. Moon vibes.

Oh cool thank you for the suggestion! I’ll look at some of the gameplay footage and see if that better suits what I’m going for.
