Idrees 🌕

Got my Bluesky feed displayed live on my 40 year old Apple IIc by wiring it directly to the server running the #indietechfeed and configuring the computer as a terminal!

Remember pulling out your Nintendo DS on the bus and messaging your friends over PictoChat? To bring that feeling back, I made "PicoChat" for iMessage! It's free and open-source (of course), so give it a try and let me know what you think! apps.apple.com/us/app/picoc...

After years of running a game studio by day and making my own art in the evening, this is the first time my art has appeared in one of our games. I hand-folded the letters of the Folded Fables logo on my dining room table and then photographed them for the game. #gamedev #indie #papercraft #tidyup

Silly little app I made that I find useful and you might find useful too github.com/eugenevinits...

Very happy to have my poem "Observational" in the Maya's Micros feature of The Closed Eye Open. I wrote it at the start of quarantine in 2020, inspired by the strange slowness of empty days in my apartment. Give it a read here: theclosedeyeopen.com/mayas-micros...

Brb, gotta go visit Mischief Reef in the Spratly Islands

As far as I'm concerned, there's one very crucial reason why Distant Horizons is a better choice than Voxy and it's that DH is actually open-source. Nothing I hate more than the term "source available"... #minecraft #opensource

Maybe it wasn't a good idea to use "Monkeys Spinning Monkeys" as the test track for my 24/7 livestream radio project, because I'm beginning to go insane

🌿 ROWBOT RALLY 2 🌿 the all-new, space-age sequel to the award-winning playdate game coming soon to your playdate, and your PC wishlist: 🟨 play.date/g/pesto 💻 raewtf.itch.io/rowbot-rally-2

Moving from the suburbs to a city with public transportation has been wonderful for a lot of reasons, but one of my favorites is the increase in opportunities for Staring Out The Window And Daydreaming.

A stylized water shader I'm working on for my indie horror game! It's fully pixelated, as well as the movement! More stuff coming soon! #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #techart #shaders

Celebrated HTML day by making a cursed Obsidian theme

this right here? this is the real fuckin' shit.

Literally all it took to get on itch.io popular was to change the thumbnail from a carefully crafted explanation of the app to a meme I made in five minutes with Figma lol #gamedev

My partner linked me this little pixel bird that flits around your browser and its massively improved my day and perhaps life, highly recommend! idreesinc.itch.io/pocket-bird

I don't know why you'd want to record yourself anyway, but why on earth would you use those overpriced "AI voice recorders" rather than the retro recorders with those awesome tiny cassettes?

So proud and excited to share my flash fiction "The Last Florida Panther" is out today in the South Florida Poetry Journal! Give it a read here:

It's-a me, 3D CSS Mario! 🍄 ⭐ I'm recreating Giles Goddard's iconic N64 face engine, so we can use it on the web. The rendering is handled by CSS matrix transforms, without WebGL or canvas. demo: codepen.io/alowpoly/pen... repo: github.com/layoutit/css...

I have always loved the passion around the jailbreaking community for all sorts of things. Just a bunch of people getting together to try and run terrible themes and emulators on the devices they paid for, it's great.

New Apple Watch Pokétch build updated in testflight, hope you all enjoy! github.com/IdreesInc/Ap...

Absolutely zero brain cells in either of these photos

I feel like my Bluesky feed that dynamically generates a rickroll using the first word of every post hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves #bluesky #opensource

Working on my Minecraft train project and in the process of adding train stations, found this liminal looking train station deep under the pacific ocean

Some relevant lines from my osteology textbook published in 2005, warning of over-reliance on what they called the “computer revolution”:

Showing this Anise Swallowtail caterpillar the wonders of public transport

Hm, that's not right...

My wife’s new flash fiction got published today, check it out!

I made memory from scratch and I may have gone a bit overboard. Ok 64 bits overboard… Enjoy the new video! youtu.be/IOtf85sHRlg

Ignore my terrible handwriting...

One should not underestimate the astonishing team effort required to stretch and resize windows to match the ever growing scope of our ambitions. Let us all be thankful to our beloved UI daemons, tirelessly keeping our frames aligned with our dreams. #mainframes #gamedev #pixelart #animation

I wrote a manifesto for making games, and (not) selling them, for #manifestojam illomens.itch.io/no-one-is-go...

A sneak peek at the view from inside my endless Minecraft train project, taken from somewhere within Africa #gamedev

everyone has to see my pet bird (a plugin in obsidian) that does nothing but hops, occasionally flies around my workspace and can be pet

Fan sent me this today, man it looks good. Digital or physical copies are on sale this weekend: beatscribe.itch.io/ultimate-lof... www.etsy.com/shop/Beatscr... #lofigirl #synthwave #beats #gameboy #gbdk #gbstudio #chiptune #winamp #retro

Please do not fall into the trap of thinking that a side project should be "useful". The only purpose of a side project is to be enjoyed. Perhaps you enjoy making it, or maybe you enjoy using it once it's finished, but always remember that the joy itself is the goal.

Currently building a mod that adds computers to Minecraft. They will be programmable with WASM with first-party support for Rust. I'm using the awesome Monocraft font made by @idreesinc.com in order to support over 1000 characters! github.com/TheBlckbird/... (PR that adds this is still WIP)

Made some flying fisheees 🐟🎏 It's pretty mesmerising, though I'll need to think of more creatures that can fly about They move using @brysonmcbee.bsky.social's multimeshpath3d addon (github.com/brysonmcbee/...) #GameDev #IndieDev #GodotEngine #Shader

Meanderware: Things I loved about cyberspace 💥 tetrageddon.com/meanderware/ 🔥 - A short playable essay and poetic breadcrumb trail of thoughts about cyberspace, the internet, and ephemeral digital worlds. - 🔥💀🔥💀🔥 #IndieGame #WebGame #BrowserGame #IndieWeb #IndieDev #GameDev #Cyberspace

I need to show everyone this little plugin for Obsidian MD by @idreesinc.com Basically, it adds a Bird (or Birb if that's your preference) to your markdown editor. It flutters about, accepts pets, and drops feathers to unlock more birbs, outfits, etc. This, and Excalidraw are must haves.

Wait how on earth did I forget to add Pocket Bird to idreesinc.com?!
