It's weird having a Laptop with a CD-Drive nowadays, because sometimes you accidentally make it pop open when moving and ask yourself when you last had to use it... Has it been 10 years yet?

My brain's not doing code for SHIT today, playing some of the Gothic remake instead. Sometimes it's time to cool it for a bit. #indiedev #gamedev

Feel you there... Then again, us indies need to do what we can to help each other out :) Well our audience here is mostly other indies, but still a share can't hurt^^ Nice sploooosh!

RT to lend my voice, because... OVER MY DEAD BODY DOES EVEN JUST A SINGLE LINE OF AI CODE END UP IN MY GAME. shouting over.

Damn you, this looks really cool already! Love the pre-rendered aesthetic :D Also, I feel like lots of time it has to do with the time (of day) you post at, feel like it might be better in the mornings (from the perspective of GMT+1)

Ignore the cut-off shadows, but I kinda wanna go in this direction with the inventory; Items are represented by little figurines. I like the way this is going, but needs a lot more work to actually look good. Would I need an in-universe explanation for this? #indiedev #gamedev

Inventory and trade screen now share their rendering code - I've got a different thing for it in mind, but I don't know if I can pull it off in terms of readability #indiedev #gamedev #vagueposting #cursed_existence

There is personality in code. As much as you can see an artist smile at you through deliberately misplaced lines, you can see a coder's mischievous grin when a UI element bobs and weaves. Code can be art if you let it.

Being quarter-sick is fucking stupid. Not even half sick, just kinda debuffed -.- No proper brain for gamedev or modeling, super annoying.

"you can't avoid ai, it's in everything" *Looks at the 800 something game devs on my starter packs of devs that don't use AI* Yeah I think I'll be okay.

We need mush more folk :)

Fuck yeah that's the good shit!

Refactoring my Inventory system. At around 75% done my brain decides to also start on the trading interface. WHY AM I LIKE THIS. (I know why, that was rethorical) Then again, the refactoring helped and trading is progressing pretty quickly :) #indiedev #gamedev #adhd

Feeling a need to cultivate strong opinions on something completely trivial. I think I'm going to begin a crusade against the caps lock key. IT'S A USELESS KEY, WHY IS IT SO BIG AND PROMINENT. PUT CTRL THERE INSTEAD.

There's a fairly large cellar under the coworking i'm working in. It's a bit unsettling, but I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

OpenTDD on Android is actually pretty damn playable, I'm impressed :D I think it's finally clicked with me, hell yeah. Been a while since I played anything in... whatever the genre is called^^

Testing the persistant world: If the players leave enemy range, they march towards the town. Rescued npcs will also go to town to help defend. Performance feels fantastic! Doing final tests and reuploading the demo. #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Playingt Monster Hunter 3U on the way back from rome, I decided to try and kill the lagiacrus that jumpscares you while doing a collection quest, only to have my love point out to me that you can't even kill it in that quest. At least got a tailcut out of it, fuck you Lagi -.-

Please do keep testing, this looks cool! :D

Impressed, but surprised by which things come easier to me nowadays. (socially) Disappointed because the job I never thought I was smart enough for, and worked really hard to get into (programming), has basically been destroyed by AI. I might tell myself to do art instead, which is suffering too^^

Yoooo :D

Every time I try to learn about Blender's Geometry Nodes I feel like I need to drink. Like, not alcohol, but... gasoline, maybe?

I keep thinking about how happy that would've made Douglas Adams. It sure makes me happy :)

Freshly installing Debian 13 while upgrading to a 1td SSD on my work PC and it just casually suggested 49GB of swap??? I think I'll kick the swap partition entirely once I'm done, if I run out of my 64gigs of memory, I'm doing something wrong anyways. (It's DDR4 that was bought before all this shit)

Part of my core gameplay loop: Oh, I need to get new equip! Oh, for that I need a trader! Oh, for that I need NPCs! Oh, need inventories! Oh, for that I need dialogue! (Oh, I needed a dialogue editor too) Oh, for that I need a trading interface! Only the last one missin, now :) #indiedev #gamedev

Oh man, I totally missed this - hell yeah! :D

Those are some nice and juicy 1-bit graphics - so pleasing to watch :D

Still working on cursed existence! Not happy with how it looks overall, but slowly getting there :) (it's all a bit too simple and clean, even though I do want the town to be nice and tidy, as opposed to the regular dilapidated look fantasy is often going for) #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

I'm not being very productive, which could be due to sleep or thyroid. But what I can do is dick around on social media. So let's share again the starter packs I made of game devs who refuse to use gen AI in any capacity. Here you go: go.bsky.app/6DRdowf go.bsky.app/AS5R4p7 go.bsky.app/7K7JDCJ

[0008389] Vampire in Fort is always tired

New Swinging Pots level in our physics fish platformer 🐟 It also includes a scary spider... don't get too close! 🕷️ #indiedev #gamedev #unity3d

MARBLE SOULS coming 2026 wishlist now - store.steampowered.com/app/4531440/...

I wanted to post a gif of some gameplay from a gamejam project here, but I'm falling apart trying to write the alt text, ugh. I wanna do it properly, but describing everything is too much right now. How can this be that hard??? Would a half-assed alt-text be better than none?

Aaaaaa, those look great! :D

Oh sweet, they're redesigning the euro! (Of the women I can only name Marie Sklodovska, admittedly) surveys.ecb.europa.eu/10b/banknote... Also, pretty birds are really hard to resist, so not sure the humans will make the cut^^ #europe #euro

it's not ultra silly but i think it's fun, it used to be just a black screen with a progress bar a couple weeks ago

Bit of a tough read for a fumbling amateur, but 100% worth it! I need to rethink some things...

I've been hand making assets for alpine lake for 6 years and will continue to do so whether you like it or not.
