The more A/i shoves its way into animation and gamedev the more I wanna do things manually. Im about this 🤏 close in making a hand-drawn, scanned in 2D game. Just in spite of it all. Meanwhile look at this lil guy #indiedev #gamedev

Idk I think it's cooler to give people some time to discover certain things in new games for themselves, and experience the joy of it—as is intended—before you post it. Especially if you have any kind of privileged access. I am thoughtful about what I share outside of stream for this exact reason.

Made a fun little shader in Unreal. A stepped stylized outline on 2d shapes! What am I using it for?! 🤷‍♂️ #gamedev #indiedev

'Gen-AI controversy aside' is a wild thing to write in a video game preview: aftermath.site/crazy-taxi-ai-...

I've finally decided to stop adding devs to the first pack and create a second one. The first one now has 300 great developers in it, and I don't want people to be too overwhelmed after clicking "follow all", so I've started a second pack here: go.bsky.app/xozdCt

I've been offline a bunch! But we hit 3600 sales for Vroombi this week! I started a new FT job this week at a local studio. So updates on my next project will be slow but still happening behind the scenes! #indiedev #indiegame

Ima make a game that you get to punch people that stand too close to you at the store. Top down beat em up. You get extra points for helping other people clear their personal bubble too. 🫧 😊 #indiegame #indiedev

🙏 A magic school bus inspired horror game. 🙏 #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

An #indiegame price point is so weird. I went to lunch with a friend the other day. And parking was 5$ for an hour ish. And for the same price I could buy one or two fantastic indies.

And 300 followers today! Thanks for being interests in the equivalent of mad rambles but in pixels!

113 reviews and 96% positive! Pretty dang happy with that for my first full game 🥳 In a time of uncertainty in this industry this is a great mood boost!! #indiedev #gamedev

For those that loved Red's Revenge this seems interesting! Havent played it myself

My conspiracy theory is that the Steam algorithm has a sort of force update when a number is at x99 cuz I've woken up to a lot of these!! But also 🥳wild that my wishlists are still climbing after release! #indiegame #indiedev

Small update coming this week to 7 Nights with Vroombi! As a thank you for playing from Lily, I'm adding 8 stickers to collect! Here's a BTS for the first sticker :) These will survive between play troughs, and if you don't like em 😱, you can shut em off or reset them! #indiegame #indiedev

By the time all is said and done, the majority of cool projects never go anywhere - safe bets often land nowhere, but the few times something courageous and weird makes it through funding (and we can agree or disagree on the merits, etc. etc.) it can become the biggest thing that launches.

Incremental games have swallowed me. They're cheap but if I buy 10 of them in a row its still 60ish bucks 😅

Well, it finally happened! After 9 years of Unity dominance, Godot was the most used game engine for GMTK Game Jam 2026 submissions. 🤖 Godot - 47% 🎮 Unity - 34% 🛠️GameMaker - 5% 🚀 Unreal Engine - 3% ✨ Other - 11%
