🐸 𝙍𝙞𝙗𝙗𝙞𝙩 🐸 Vous trouvez qu’il y a de plus en plus de grenouilles dans le jeu vidéo ? C’est le cas. Pour @jvlemag.com #116, j'ai plongé dans le 𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘣𝘪𝘵 hole des jeux de grenouilles. Je suis allé à la rencontre d'une quinzaine de devs pour savoir pourquoi et comment cet animal est devenu cool.

My first Steam game just reached Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam! A lot of crazy things happened in the last two weeks, but this one takes the spot 🙈

🎉Ropuka's Idle Island is out 🎉 Together with extremely talented @littlechmura.bsky.social we've made an idle game that sits on your screen like a small, playable sticker. Watch little frog tend to his garden (and take frequent naps) while you work or relax! 🐸

Work on the main frog game is going well, but I got a bit distracted by a small, Ropuka-related side game... #gamedev #indiedev

For the past 2 days, I've been working on some UIs, as always it's a bit of a pain to support different input methods and avoid all the edge-case bugs, but it's also extremely satisfying and makes your game feel more like a game #gamedev #indiedev

Figured out that the first instinct everyone will have playing as a frog is to jump into the water, so I've added swimming to Ropuka today. Placeholder animation but hey, isn't swimming just underwater flying anyway? #gamedev #indiedev

Calling Polish game devs! 🇵🇱 As more of us arrive here on Bluesky it would be great to re-create the network we've had. Here's a Polish Game Dev starter pack to make it easier. Please let me know if I should add you or someone, and consider reposting for reach! #StarterPack #GameDev #PolskiGamedev

Sooner or later every game needs a UI, always pain in the ass to implement, but at least it starts to feel like a real video game now #gamedev #indiedev

Need an excuse to show off that in Ropuka the grass is always growing, what can a lonely, small frog do against the forces of nature? #gamedev #indiedev

Lovely. Can you make it short grass instead of dirt? Nobody cuts down to dirt

Anybody know how to handle bsky's video compression for #gamedev ? The 'other' site just accepts whatever I throw at it, but here the compression is always harsh and I often get upload errors :(

Added some visual fluff, new shears texture, tweaked grass particle colors; all small, almost insignificant stuff, but it builds over time and makes the game look better #indiedev #gamedev

Played with some 'fake' stencil lights today, had to double fake it for the grass since all the foliage is unlit. #gamedev #indiedev

Got some custom tools for authoring my grass up and running today, making new levels should be much faster now. #indiedev #gamedev

Started working on a new tool for Ropuka, turns out adding a two-handed one is more complicated than I thought, but the first draft is already pretty fun to use. #indiedev #gamedev

You are up to date.
