I’m trying to get better at promoting the games I’ve made. So, if you like slightly puzzley platformers, then have a look at The Top Hat Club. It’s cheap and… yeah, it’s alright! (well the few people that reviewed it seemed to like it 😊): apps.apple.com/gb/app/the-t... #GameDev #SoloDev

Every gothic horror:

I've made 6 open-source @godotengine.org projects perfect for as a base for your first or next game. Completely human-made and easy to understand code & comments. All visuals and sounds included, CC0! kenney.nl/starter-kits

This makes me feel old because I think the last Ludum Dare I actually submitted was 10 years ago, with the theme “Ancient Technology”. Good luck to everyone participating.

Looking at what I have left to do for a side project, and this task sounds like the title of a delightfully uplifting children's book 🙂 #gamedev

Seventeen years later… The time has come for Machinarium 2 🦾🔧 Wishlist NOW on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/1619280/...

I needed to code something with simple pendulum motion and was reminded of this absolutely awesome website/book (which I hadn't looked at for years) natureofcode.com #gamedev

𝗣𝗜𝗖𝗢⬩𝟭𝗞 𝗝𝗔𝗠 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 has now finished 🏁 👨‍💻 We had 83 awesome entries (a new record!) 🏅 Please check them out: 🌐 itch.io/jam/pico-1k-... A mix of 🕹️ Games, 📺 Demos & 🛠️ Tools. All done in #Pico8 (or #Picotron), using ≤ 1KB of 🗜️ code Congrats everyone! 👏🤓 #Pico1k #GameJam #Demoscene #Sizecoding

I think or say this almost every night when I put my kids to bed. Um Jammer Lammy has truly polluted my brain in a way no other game has.

Finally found some time to finish and submit my #pico1k game #pico8 daviddurham.itch.io/hort

I'm pleased to announce that around 200 pages' worth of tutorial resources are coming to the Game UI Database for FREE via a brand new blog. No ads. No paywalls. No email signups. Here's a preview of the first piece dropping next week, all about crafting cross-platform control schemes and layouts!

Having a great time working on a #pico1k game. I'm trying to make a sort of arcade-y gardening game. It's coming together, but I'm already up in the 900s in terms of bytes used 😬 #pico8

OUR GAME IS FINALLY HERE!! 🎉👟🎮 Shoe it All! is now available on PC, consoles, and mobile. Thank you for being part of this journey. 🧡 Link to the game in the comments! 👇 #IndieGame #GameDev #ShoeitAll #Gaming

It's getting later in the year now and I haven't done a game jam yet. I try to participate in at least one a year... currently considering #pico1k - if I can remember how to use PICO-8 😬 Maybe it's a good opportunity to remind myself? itch.io/jam/pico-1k-...

Red Rust Pioneers is the first foray into Steam games for my employer of some 20 years. While I've only done a few bits and pieces on this, the core team behind it are very talented and hardworking folks. There's a demo if you want to give it a look #gamedev store.steampowered.com/app/3664440/...

Still trying to get better at Godot in my lunch breaks by making a short game. I had a play with the lighting, world environment adjustments and added some mist particles. I actually quite like how it's looking now (even with placeholder assets).

To celebrate the rerelease I'm going to post some videos from early development! This is the earliest recorded footage with just the controls / movement idea for mobile

So glad Poinpy is back. Simply one of the best mobile games I’ve ever played. Can’t wait to be obsessed again.

Boys from the Dwarf

Who wants to make a PAPERS, PLEASE-style game about getting your child ready for each day of school, using the crumbs of information from the principal, the teacher, and the calendar, in their emails, PDF attachments, and assorted apps?

The guy who invented being a jester:

A while back we had the wonderful opportunity to pitch a Red Dwarf adventure game directly to Doug Naylor himself. While the project didn't end up going ahead, we're now free to share some of the work we produced for the pitch!

I've been quietly developing a new web game platform for the last year, with my friend @bjornithopter.bsky.social. This week, we're announcing it's called Player Galaxy (previously PlayFly). I wrote a bit about our history and goals here, and what's next: www.playergalaxy.com/news/feed?it...

One year since the Steam page went live. Today we're dropping the first teaser trailer for Red Rust Pioneers. 4-player co-op survival, frontier authenticity, real homesteading. 🤠 #indiedev #survivalgames

Learning Godot in my lunch breaks, I was very happy to find the 'Open Dominant Script on Scene Change' setting - as I was getting muddled when switching between scenes and not seeing associated script. I get why it's not the default, but it works for my brain 🙂 #godot

Say hello to Hannah Spencer—councillor, plumber, greyhound lover and your Green Party candidate for Gorton and Denton 💚

I'm obsessed with this trailer. It's great.

Played TR-49 today. I’ve seen a lot of people say they finished it in one sitting, but I couldn’t find the time for that. However, I really enjoyed the hour or so I spent with it today while it was dark and rainy outside.

New for this year's festive family viewing of Home Alone - all the kids immediately went crazy when John Candy said 6-7

The nativity has a lot fewer wacky japes than you’d expect from a story about a baby king.

I have a plaster/bandaid on my thumb so I can't easily scroll on a touch screen... I think I may have stumbled upon a pretty good productivity hack.
