Back from a "quick" hiatus! Gameplay just survived heavy QA testing, I'm officially crossing bugs off the to-do list and and building out the main menu. The game, while still a ways away, is finally coming together, and may be open for player testing soon. ⛏️ #pixelart #gamedev #indiegames #gaming

Just hired my first dev..... He's doing his best. #DangerMiner #IndieDev #GameDev

Mounted some acrylic magazine racks in the office to display the old Game Informer collection. It’s a super easy way to swap out classic gaming art whenever I want to change up the room's vibe. (Ignore where I replastered because I'm bad at hanging things) #GamingSetup #GameRoom #PhysicalMedia

To enjoy indie game dev, you have to love the process more than the destination. Reframing development in that light is what’s kept me committed this time around. Stop withholding your own satisfaction until the ship date. Let yourself have fun building the thing every day. #indieDev #GameDev

08.05- Dev Log Update: The crafting loop for #DangerMiner is fully playable. - Unearth Bronze, Silver, or Gold. - Load the "Work bench" with exact power up recipes then combine. - Power-ups stash in your HUD, then float gently down to the floor when called! #IndieDev #GameDev #PixelArt #Retro

Anomaly President launched into Early Access today and the concept is hilarious. You run a presidential campaign by day and then transform into a warrior by night to fight off supernatural threats... Hey, I'd vote for him! #AnomalyPresident #IndieGame #Roguelite #PCGaming #SteamGames #EarlyAccess

Large studios get so afraid of taking risks that they only greenlight the "safest" of options. True hit games almost always come from taking a bold chance on a weird new idea, this is why I much prefer the indie scene. #GameDev #GamesIndustry #IndieDev #VideoGames

Hiring artists saves projects. Or at minimum it saves retinas. I tried doing the pixel art myself when Danger Miner first started out, and it.... didn't go great.......... Want to guess which one is mine? #ProgrammerArt #PixelArt #DangerMiner #IndieDev #GameDev #Art

The sudden explosion of GBA SP-inspired clamshell retro handhelds this year proves that true pocketability is still king for portables. I'm thinking that mirco handheld gaming experiences will come back big. #AnbernicRGSP #RetroHandheld #GBA #Emulation #HandheldGaming

Each time Sega updates us on Crazy Taxi World Tour, I end up firing up Crazy Taxi 1 & 2 on my Dreamcast again. Those games are pure fun with zero bloat. We need more tightly focused AA arcade experiences in modern gaming. 🚕 #CrazyTaxiWorldTour #CrazyTaxi #SegaDreamcast #Dreamcast #RetroGaming #Sega

Games like "Go North" dropping today are a reminder of why cozy exploration games matter so much. Sometimes after a long work day you just want to wander around a quiet, pretty maze with good music. 🌲🧭 #GoNorth #CozyGames #IndieGames #PCGaming #Xbox #IndieDev

It’s mind blowing that modders just dropped 10 player online co-op for Super Mario Sunshine. The retro modding scene never stops finding wild ways to make 20 year old GameCube games feel brand new again. 🍄 #SuperMarioSunshine #DiddyKongRacing #GameCube #RetroGaming #GameModding

When we're not making games, we're playing them. 🎮 This week, it's Full Auto—the best racing game you've (probably) missed. Think Burnout meets Twisted Metal with a splash of MotorStorm & Midtown Madness. Pure chaos, pure fun. 🚗💥 #Xbox #Xbox360 #Gaming #Retro What have you been playing this week?
