Day 2 of fixing the “small improvement” I added to Unthreaded.
Good news: I found the problem.
Bad news: it’s in several places and most of them were written by me.
Progress is being made. Slowly.
#GameDev #IndieGameDev #DevLife #Unthreaded
Development update for Unthreaded:
I added a new system to improve how levels work.
This immediately broke things that were working perfectly yesterday.
So the polish phase has been postponed while I repair my “great idea.”
#IndieDev #GameDev #Unity3D #SoloDev #Unthreaded
New developer blog for Unthreaded is live.
Progress continues, bugs retreat, and I’m now in the dangerous phase known as “polish.”
Which means changing tiny things and somehow breaking three others.

From “what is a variable” to “just polishing UI and balancing difficulty.”
The growth is real.
The sarcasm remains.
Unthreaded is almost ready to escape into the world.

There’s something unsettling about seeing your game actually feel complete.
Menus work. Mechanics feel solid. Nothing is on fire.
Who approved this stability?
#UnityDev #IndieDev #Unthreaded #GameDeveloper
Launched the website.
Finished most of the game.
Started using words like “final tweaks” as if they don’t hide hours of chaos.
Unthreaded is almost ready. I am not.
#GameDev #WebsiteLaunch #Unthreaded #SoloDev
Core mechanics? Done.
Major bugs? Mostly gone.
Polish phase? Where small changes cause dramatic emotional responses.
Unthreaded is dangerously close to being real.
#IndieGameDev #DevLife #Unthreaded #GameDev
Unthreaded is nearly finished.
By “nearly” I mean the hard parts are done and now I must polish everything I aggressively ignored.
The game works. I’m suspicious of it.
#IndieDev #GameDev #Unthreaded #SoloDev #Unity3D
Started Unthreaded with no coding knowledge and many assumptions.
Now I understand the basics and distrust all assumptions.
The game works. I cannot explain why.
#IndieGameDev #GameDevLife #Unity3D #Unthreaded
New blog post is live.
Documenting my slow transformation from “what is this button” to “I meant to do that.”
Unthreaded continues to evolve. So do my coping mechanisms.

I used to fear breaking my game.
Now I break it deliberately to see what happens.
It usually fixes something else.
Unthreaded is built on this principle.
#GameDev #LearningCurve #SoloDev #Unthreaded
I expected game dev to be logical.
Instead it’s negotiation.
You suggest an idea, Unity considers it, and Unthreaded eventually complies.

Past me wrote code with optimism.
Present me reads it like a historical document.
Still, Unthreaded does what it’s supposed to. Mostly.
#GameDevJourney #IndieDev #Unthreaded
Launched my dev website today.
It works. I don’t fully understand why.
There’s a blog documenting the slow evolution of Unthreaded.
Link below before I accidentally redesign the whole thing.

Game dev update:
• Feature added
• Two unrelated things broke
• Fixing one fixed all three
Unity is a fascinating system.
Unthreaded survives again.
#IndieGameDev #SoloDev #DevUpdate #Unthreaded
I no longer know why the code works.
But I know where not to touch it.
This feels like progress and Unthreaded agrees.
#GameDev #LearningInPublic #Unity3D #Unthreaded
I expected nothing to work today.
Several things worked immediately.
I don’t trust this and neither should Unthreaded.
#IndieDev #CodingJourney #GameDeveloper #Unthreaded
Spent hours debugging.
Problem was one line of code doing exactly what I told it to do.
Important lesson learned. I am the bug.
#UnityDev #DevLife #SoloDev #Unthreaded
Unity continues to do things I did not ask for.
The code also does things I did not intend.
Unthreaded still runs, which feels like a clerical error.
#GameDevLife #LearningToCode #IndieGameDev #Unthreaded
Day 1 of making Unthreaded.
Opened Unity expecting answers.
Got menus, warnings, and an attitude.
No idea what I’m doing. Full confidence anyway.
