Dream of tomorrow or live for today. The choice is always yours.

What do my fellow Indie Game Devs think of Social Media Platforms such as this and others with regards to Marketing ? Is there any real value doing that ? Do results come ? My feeling is that it is fairly ineffective but I'm likely to have done it wrong anyway. #indiedev

Right. Im going to make & release one more game before getting onto the serious business of making my dream game. That should give me enough time to work out what the frick my dream game actually is. 😆

My very first Steam game, a shootem Up, and so far still most successful, Crazy Invader ShootEm Down is back on sale store.steampowered.com/app/1727600 #indiegame

Got a big discount going on Tunnel Assault. Get it and try for the top of the leaderboards. store.steampowered.com/app/2924110 #indiegame

A little soundtrack for a yet to be created or even thought of game.

Im nearing 55, and despite what the younger generations in tech may think of our generations' capabilities, i have no problem learning new tech - in fact i feel it easier than when i was younger. Is anyone else here and still doing well with regards to this?

Dreams are nothing without a plan of action. I know that, You know that. But are you doing that ?

Balance in your game is massively important. Get the balance wrong and players can be left either unsatisfied with it's ease or crushed by it's difficulty. Where would you rank balance in the overall importance of the varying aspects of game development ?

My last released Game, Tunnel Assault on November 2024 is currently discounted in the Steam Spring Sale. I hope you can take a look and give it a go. store.steampowered.com/app/2924110

Here's a fun platformer I released early 2024. Play as Malcolm or one of his mates. It's a challenge but satisfying when you complete a tough level. It's 50% off and less than a couple of $'s Hope you can give it a look store.steampowered.com/app/2461570/

The Steam Spring sales brings some good discounts from Crazy Retro Games, you can get my earlier games for around a $. Take a look at these two : store.steampowered.com/app/1727600 store.steampowered.com/app/2180390

The latest incarnation of what looks highly likely to be my next game to work on. Currently a prototype it shows promise and is enjoyable to play for myself as well as my two teenaged boys.

As a software developer working with AI tools the last month or so, right now I have absolute no concern that it will take over my job. It's just not that good. I mean it's good as another tool but that's about it.

Copilot is the smartest imbecile I have ever worked with. Anyone else have this experience ?

Are you worried that using AI for coding is going to 'bracket' your solutions to the Narrow knowledge of the AI's information, disregarding potentially much better solutions that with a bit more thought you yourself could come up with ?

I think there is defintely potential here. What do you think ?

One day, you can be a brilliant genius and other days no smarter than a monkeys armpit. That's software development for you. 🤪

Im prototyping a maship of space invaders, missile command and tower defence. Do you think this idea has any prospects as a descent game ?

It feels good here. Anyone else feel that ?

What's yoir split of time between bluesky and other social media ? I think for now for me it is 10% blue sky and 90% other. But i hope to change that going forward.

Do you prefer bluesky or X ?

As i get older, it often feels like the days drag on, and yet the years fly by. Does that even make sense ? Anyone else experience this feeling ?

A zillion thoughts, but no idea what to create right now. Is this normal gamedev life ?

Seems to be some decent momentum building up here on bluesky. What do you think 2025 will hold ? Continued momentum ? Accelerated momentum ? Or a decline ? Will be interesting regardless.

With 2025 approaching fast and reflecting on 2024, i realised i hit an achievement i may never do again, and that was to release two games to steam in the same year. What achievements did you make in 2024 ?

Since releasing tunnel assault in november, inspiration for my next project has been low. Sure, I've had some thoughts and played around with things, but nothing that feels like a winner. So here i sit waiting for the next big thought, wondering when it'll hit.

After quite a lengthy grind and some substantial down time after releasing Tunnel Assault on the 8th of November, I've finally gotten around to making another devlog. Hope you will check it out. youtu.be/dvWX-Y6fz58 #indiedev

Hello to fellow #indiedev. How many of us are living in the bluesky ?

Let's do a proper introduction this time 😇 We are Silvia and Rubén and we run a tiny studio in the northwest of Spain. We make point&click adventures, often collaborating with other developers, as our expertise is limited to production and software engineering. #GameDev
