I used this as an opportunity to properly dive into learning #Godot and I can see why its been so popular. Had a couple moments where I was searching "like X in Unity but in Godot" but otherwise found it pretty intuitive!

My weekend progress for my #FletchFest2026 game! Not much going on visually, but excited to have some gameplay already working πŸ₯³

This was my first time on a stream and I had so much fun! Fletch is such a great host πŸ₯°

Have you ever played a game and thought "I wish I could purchase some Walmart products from within this game without exiting it"? Unity got you covered! #gamedev www.gamesindustry.biz/unity-launch...

TIL the #SteamDeck has no rumble hardware and instead uses the trackpad haptics to create a subtle vibration. Which means the bug I've been chasing is not actually a bug πŸ€£πŸ˜­πŸ’€ #gamedev

Learned about make files, fixed some outdated code, added a new feature, and recompiled a new binary. Only to find there was an existing PR for what I was trying to do 🀦 At least I learned something along the way, eh?

Related note: I thought I was smart keeping my personal site on a Github pages, but looks like the jokes on me. Github pages uses Cloudflare under the hood.

Playing Suborbital Salvage on Playdate, developed by @gamesrightmeow! Having an absolute blast with this beautifully crafted "just-one-more-run" space runner! #playdate #twitch #streamer #indiedev

Bits of polish and balancing. Tho I can't decide if the pillaring that ends most of my runs is a design problem, or if I just suck at my own game πŸ€” #FallingBlockJam
