Created a post it note system to keep track of bugs and issues. I've done this in other project and I can't believe it took me this long to set it up. #gamedev #Indigames

First day of vacation! Eggs Cumberbatch for brunch and hanging out with my new friend, Sir Bearington the Polar Bear.

Apparently Coba is multiplayer now. Awesome. I was really hoping to spend the rest of the week rebalancing the entire game around this completely intentional feature. #Indiedev #screenshotsaturday #Itsafeature

Okay but seriously, I'd be more interested if they had a dishwashing and laundry competition. Which robot can make the best curry? Which robot can climb on my roof and repair the that one shingle that fell?

Drone Harrier! Inspired by the arcade classic Space Harrier. Aero uses his Drone to vanquish enemy bots! Getting the Mode 7-like 3D effect working was surprisingly tricky. This is definitely one I’d love to come back to and polish up someday. #screenshotsaturday #Indiegames #gamedev

Itzel showing off her Feathered Serpent powers. 🐉🔥 #screenshotsaturday #indiegames #gamedev

The moment when you find the Penguin easter egg your dev partner hid in the game. 🐧 #screenshotsaturday #Indiegames #gamedev

I really wish I liked Kingdom Hearts. My feed is completely hijacked by it right now, and honestly, I could use that kind of joy in my life. Not that I dislike Kingdom Hearts specifically. I just have a hard time enjoying any amalgam of different IPs. Like Wreck-It Ralph or Ready Player One.

#Asemulator v1.0.0 releases on August 28th! 🎉 The Top-down and Side-scroller templates will be available on the same date. Get ready to preview, test and share your characters' animated sprites in context, directly in @aseprite.org! Reposts highly appreciated~

Currently reading 1984 again, and I’m having a hard time figuring out how this country is somehow becoming 1984 and Idiocracy simultaneously. Is "moronitarianism" a word?

This is nice, but I use the Only Posts feed. It filters out all reposts instead of doing it one at a time. bsky.app/profile/did:...

No Chucks Given! Meet Rocco, kicked out of the Outlaw Dojo for being too nice. Now he’s back to prove who’s the toughest fighter! Made for a personal game jam. Lots of vfx from the talented nyknck.itch.io on @itch.io #screenshotsaturday

Personal game jam! ANTI-VIRUS is MineSweeper meets Arrow Out. I used several assets purchased off @itch.io Shout out to the terrific @kenney.nl asset pack. This is easy mode, hard mode takes at least 4-5 minutes per level. LOL #screenshotsaturday

Seriously thought my house was haunted because I kept hearing random crashes in empty rooms. Turns out command strips last about 6 years. 👻👻👻

Setting up a new workspace and Wacom decided my perfectly functioning tablet is no longer supported on the latest macOS. 🖕 I found OpenTabletDriver and it's 90% functionality. Bless open source projects. 🙏

Holiday camping trip to Utah’s Canyon Lands was amazing! I can’t wait for the next trip.

Photoshop's Quick Export lacks a "Don't Trim" option, which is frustrating. Unity's newish "Sprites from PSD Layers" feature has the same limitation. So here I am, I'm still relying on a Photoshop script I wrote back in 2005. Happy New Year.

Happy Halloween!

Her club attack is like a short and wide, so I'm thinking the spear is longer range and more forward. #screenshotSaturday

I recently worked with Heidi, we both contracted on the same game dev project. She's exceptionally talented, professional, and insightful. I was saddened to learn about the difficulties she's been facing. I hope you'll consider supporting her during this time.

87 seconds to make a build! All my optimizations paid off! The build used to be 4GB, but now it's down to 255 MB.

I'm going to join the Revival Jam! I set this guy up to animate in 2019! It's time to dust it off and get it done! It's for a boss fight in a personal project. #societyofplay itch.io/jam/revival-...

Having a little fun with the main menu. Tap the shoulder buttons to view cycle the critters. 🐰🐗🦃 #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

On Window's you need to install 7.11 GB of Visual Studio products to make Window's builds with Unity (IL2CPP). I guess it's not too bad, just really annoying when I'm trying to make a build quickly.

What do you do after getting laid off? Go camping! The mountains agree with me. I may never leave!

Here are some of the public lands that would be sold off in the Pacific Northwest under the Republican tax bill. We must stop the reckless pillaging of these national treasures.

Found this picture of me at the bookstore.

In Brazil this week for Gamescom LATAM! I’ve got a hangout crew of all new friends. Can’t wait for the convention to get started!

Just sunbathing with my friends. Soaking up those negative ions.

I'm delighted to have been selected as a judge for the Ukie Student Game Jam 2025! It's an honor to evaluate the creativity and dedication showcased. I appreciate the focus and effort that goes into game jam submissions and promise to review each one with the thoughtful consideration it deserves.

I came up with an exciting game idea in 2023. A couple months ago I started putting a couple hours a day into it. I’m not ready to share art or details, but I’ve got the whole story and character concepts done! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

How would your approach building a 2D Player Controller differ if you had 10 minutes, 1 hour, or 1 day? We asked @mikegeig.bsky.social and we'll be learning how to to adapt to time constraints in our new livestream series - Crunch Time! Join us LIVE on Feb 20 at 9am PT / 5pm GMT: shorturl.at/7kPnT

Another sketch, a little more stylized this time.

Just a Saturday doodle. I saw my friend's daughter with her sketchbook, and realized it's been ages since I had drawn anything.

Step 1: Put your game on Discord! Step 2: Win the Game Dev World Championship! Step 3: Profit!

Another prototype from that same batch. Sadly, I didn't get very far on the dino racing gameplay.

Prototype I made in Unity a while back. I made myself into the avatar. 😂 I was trying to think of games you could play on a playground.
