I expected game dev to be logical.
Instead it’s negotiation.
You suggest an idea, Unity considers it, and Unthreaded eventually complies.

Time to confess: Who else has recorded placeholder SFX with their mouth or items around? Like spoon + glass, just because they were too lazy to search for a good free library asset? 🎤

When Should You Stop Making Your Game? YouTube video by Testing Coder Games

How you know you have completed the game?

It is always a struggle, but I have some ideas

#GameDev #indiegamedev #makinggames

Added a bit of animation to The Devil in Spine2D, and added him to my game … Plus I combined the animation with dialogue written in Twine, so now he also talks - It’s still all a bit rough, but progress

What do you think?

Update #6

I have been slacking a bit on dev time lately, but finally squeezed in a small update!
Added breakable objects that can drop loot.
The system is fully generic, so adding more breakables later should be a breeze!

Neko, a small black cat, on the dashboard of a truck next to a small radio, hat, and an Across America Fluxx card that says Next Stop

Two years ago, Neko walked up to Leila & Andy in the desert then made an epic journey home with Andy. Now, we have Cat Fluxx! Coincidence? Check out Andy's #TravelWithFluxx adventures here:

Added a couple new games I designed to my Toppa Arcade. I'm very much enjoying this process. I absolutely prefer creating games for the real world but this is also pretty satisfying.

Neither of these are as fun to play as Toppa of course, lol. #onlinegames #makinggames

Here's a little cat I drew for a small pixel game. You'll probably see him more in the future.

What’s one thing you never skip during pre-production?

Personally, I always focus on systems prototyping before building a vertical slice. Curious how others tackle it.

#GameDev #IndieDev #VideoGames #GameDesign #HowGamesAreMade #GameIndustry #MakingGames #DevsWhoPlay

What’s your first step when starting a new game?

I usually see devs fall into two camps: idea-first or prototype-first.

This quick overview breaks down the full concept → console flow

What’s your iteration loop look like before shipping?

We test constantly — internal builds, team feedback, polish passes. Curious how others approach this.

Sibylline is built on a custom game engine, I use State Machine Notation to control the flow of the game

How do you define Alpha, Beta, and Early Access in your projects?

Everyone seems to handle these stages a little differently — especially across teams or studios.

Here’s how I break them down:
