Q: Why bother making a free mobile game with no revenue stream? A: Because it's fun! #GameDev #IndieDev #NoAI

Chaos Influx | Devlog #25 - For such a small game the UI has taken quite a bit of time. Think it looks pretty good, but I am colour blind #GameDev #IndieDev #NoAI

Last day of the Steam Sale: a good time to buy our games - especially Hohokum and I am Dead which are 70/75% off, if you're into weird, beautiful adventure puzzle games <3 store.steampowered.com/bundle/42256...

The #GTA Origins panel from Dundee's #GamesDay Twas great fun, and I hope we all get a chance to do it again youtu.be/YOtmtZ4LdRo?...

Chaos Influx | Devlog #24 - Pink boss fight complete, with quite a significant amount of Tween code #GameDev #IndieDev #NoAI

Spooky season is approaching! 👻👻👻 Look out for #Halloween events this month in Puzzle Page, Picture Cross, Sudoku Shapes and Crossword! www.puzzling.com

What other industry would have such interesting commit messages #GameDev #IndieDev

Upgrading to #Godot 4.7.2 and Xcode 27 broke the iOS export again. Pasting "Apple Development" into the Code Sign Identity Release field fixed it for me.

Lightshade T-Shirt. Get it at Limmy.com. 👍

Chaos Influx | Devlog #23 - Final battle with all 4 bosses may need some balancing #GameDev #IndieDev #NoAI

Chaos Influx | Devlog #22 - Cool glitch when I accidentally deleted "powerup.Visible = false;" #GameDev #IndieDev #NoAI

Chaos Influx | Devlog #21 - Old Skool level design using the Tiled map editor. 10 completed, only 35 to go #GameDev #IndieDev #NoAI

Chaos Influx | Devlog #20 - DEBUG! DEBUG! DEBUG! #GameDev #IndieDev #shmup

Chaos Influx | Devlog #19 - First boss fight sequence in the can. Took about a day and a half but there's loads of code that can be resued for the next four bosses #GameDev #IndieDev

Chaos Influx | Devlog #18 - Looking at the 2013 promo video for some boss fight inspiration. This version was written using MonoGame, Godot is so much easier #GameDev #IndieDev

Chaos Influx | Devlog #17 - Game over destruction sequence looking sufficiently chaotic #GameDev #IndieDev

Chaos Influx | Devlog #16 - Title screen zhuzhed up with some alien attack waves #GameDev #IndieDev

Now if we could just do a 180 degree rotation of the UK each day, everyone would be a lot happier.

Twitch streams where the "game developer" is prompting an LLM for 5 hours are an absolute must watch ... said no one ever.

Chaos Influx | Devlog #15 - Now for the boring UI bits #GameDev #IndieDev

Chaos Influx | Devlog #14 - Plasma Spears: Keep those edges clear #GameDev #IndieDev

Building any kind of UI with Godot is more painful than CSS, it's incredibly unintuitive #GameDev

Now if we could just do a 180 degree rotation of the UK each day, everyone would be a lot happier.

The #heatwave finally reached Aberdeen yesterday, and with a slight North Sea breeze to take the edge off ☀️🍻

Chaos Influx | Devlog #13 - Radius Shield: Disables your blaster but deflects alien bullets right back at 'em #GameDev #IndieDev

@noscoredraws.com How have I only just found this account now? Some great drawings from #WorldCup2026 and they have merch!

Chaos Influx | Devlog #12 - Switch on collision shapes in #Godot and all hell breaks loose #GameDev #IndieDev

Chaos Influx | Devlog #11 - Para Bomb: Float like a butterfly, sting like a ... grenade on a parachute #GameDev #IndieDev

Chaos Influx | Devlog #10 - Pulse Laser: Happy Fry Day alien scum! #GameDev #IndieDev

Chaos Influx | Devlog #9 - Ghost Ship: You'll survive with a little help from a friend #GameDev #IndieDev

Chaos Influx | Devlog #8 - Roto Shredder: Cuts through aliens like a hot knife through butter. Use with caution though, as it also damages the player ship #GameDev #IndieDev

Chaos Influx | Devlog #7 - Back on the chaos after 18 months on ice. Graphical style has changed quite a bit since the last devlog post in 2024 #GameDev #IndieDev

Building alien formations from the JSON map files created using the Tiled level editor #GameDev #IndieDev #Godot

Here are the Rockhopper level times for the CURRENT world record. Shoutout to @potomax.bsky.social who will almost certainly knock me off the top spot again #IndieDev #GameDev

Managed to wrestle back the top spot after about a week of trying. Wish I had attached a heart monitor when I broke the 100k barrier #GameDev #IndieDev

Rockhopper has been on the App Store for 20 months now and has an abysmal 232 downloads. It's still pretty cool though, when someone puts in the effort to kick the dev from the top of their own leaderboards #IndieDev #GameDev #Godot

First download in April. The numbers aren't important, it's just nice to know there is someone out there enjoying what I've created #Godot #GameDev #IndieDev

Created a nice 2D lightning bolt effect in Godot. No post-processing, no shaders. Just the basic Line2D node with a texture image and some code #GameDev #IndieDev

The new #VSCode dark theme should be called Rainbow Islands Nights #IndieDev #GameDev

Just pulled off an old-school one-shot 😏 200+ lines of code added, manually checked before running, worked perfectly first time #GameDev

Messing around with a bit of #GameDev after 9 months away from it. Good fun but I definitely don’t have the enthusiasm to take anything to a releasable state ☹️

Stack Overflow: The absolute goto place for anyone that needs a 10-15 year old jQuery solution to their coding problem.

Absolutely valid way to debug. I often console.log from Blazor using JS interop rather than use the VS debugger.

Everyone else is at it, might as well plug my game into the void #YourAISlopBoresMe #GameDev

I wrote a small post about what I consider a successful game 👇 www.patreon.com/posts/what-i...

Looking through #NextFest trailers and glad I'm not trying to make a living from #GameDev. The bar is so high, I wouldn't stand a chance.
