Watched Luca for the 100th time with my son, are there any cozy games out there that share the same vibe? Fishing, pasta eating and sea monsters haha #cozygames #gaming #disney

It took a long time compared to the other 3 (baby, new job, having to move due to flood lol) but I finally beat Final Fantasy IV! Was a great seeing the change in story telling from the entries before. Currently my favorite of the 4 so far! Now onto Final Fantasy V #gaming #jrpg #snes

I owe Howard Shore a big thanks, the amount of times I listen to the LOTR soundtrack while working has become countless.

After 3 weeks since my apartment was flooded and we had to move the family out. I’ve officially moved into my little townhouse. Now to spend the day setting up my office space. Everything’s coming up Milhouse!

I totally thought the packaging for this frozen ramen was AI generated and a Lego man pattern was randomly in the carrots. Turns out, no it was all real. My mistake, I wasn’t familiar with your game. lol It’s a miso butter I believe? #ramen

Got my little Godot guy 🤖 #indiedev #gamedev

Recently, I did a quick playthrough of Earthbound to completion. Still holds up great, outside of maybe the worst item inventory management controls lol. I've never played Mother 3 ... so what's the recommended way of playing it? #videogames #nintendo

This little weirdo is finally on the move! Maybe I'll work on a Godot project later tonight in celebration. Hopefully it arrives soon 🤖

How did they never make a Middle-earth / Lord of the Rings CRPG game with the infinity engine?? #gaming

One of my goto playthroughs during the holiday break is Final Fantasy X. Not really sure why, just a nostalgic and cozy play for me over the years. What's your game you dust off each year if you're able to? #games #gaming #gamesky

For work, I was given the task of playing and beating Link's Awakening. Finished it in roughly 2 days, was a little strange playing through a Zelda game during work hours haha. I really enjoyed my time with the game, very charming with a bit of a somber ending. Majora's is still my favorite tho!

Tonight's movie.

The Cabin in the Woods holds up so well! Going through our long list of horror films leading up to Halloween. Definitely one of my favourites to put on, almost like a cozy horror/satire. Just all around a fun time! Let the couple of weeks of spooky begin! 👻 #movies #horror #halloween

Finally finished my playthrough of Final Fantasy 3! The job system was pretty cool, would love to replay sometime with a different team makeup. Probably my favourite of the first 3. But now it’s time to start FF4! Been looking forward to this! First of the SNES ones! #gaming #jrpg #snes

I'll always be impressed with how good and powerful Excel is as a piece of software and how terrible almost every other Microsoft product has become over the years. (Glares at Outlook)

Software patents will always be incredibly dumb.

Make sure to talk to the people important to you while you still can, you never know when they'll be gone. Advice you hear often but don't think much about till it's too late Welp, after a little hiatus, I'll be back to posting some game dev related stuff Till then here's a cool album I inherited

The exhibitor list for Vancouver Game Garden 2025 is now live!! 🎮🌱 More than 40 different indie studios will be showcasing their games at this year's event, including games such as 1000xRESIST, Peglin, Beastieball, and many more! ✨ Check out the full list here: vangamegarden.com/exhibitors

Finished reading Jurassic Park for the first time. Great book, Ian Malcolm's rants near the end feels super relevant today in its messaging. With the rise of vibe coding, gen-AI, etc, untrained skills and power sold like a Saturday night special. Sadly, we don't at least get dinosaurs. #booksky

Final Fantasy III is absolute cinema. #gamesky #games #finalfantasy

It has begun! On to starting my Final Fantasy III journey. Not really sure what to expect, this one I’ve heard nothing about (other than sharing the name Final Fantasy III NA version aka VI) lol Was able to track down the retconned names, I think? #gamesky #rpg #games #finalfantasy

Finished my playthrough of Final Fantasy II. I actually enjoyed it, even though it was a little rough at times lol. So many dungeon dead ends, and while the password system was a nice add, it was sort of under utilized. Wish they added more to it lol still a fun play #games #rpgs #finalfantasy

Happy #ScreenshotSaturday ! I’ve been updating which assets to use for my game’s environment. I think it’s beginning to actually look pretty good! Next up to work on adding something to attack, be attacked by lol #UnrealEngine #Gamedev #IndieDev #Games #IndieGames

🔥Hot take: Final Fantasy II isn't a bad game. ❗ I've been playing the Pixel Remaster version (which has a few QOL improvements) and I've been having a great time! It suffers from trying to do too many new things at once (progression, password system) but think it's cool they tried new things 😀

Just beat Final Fantasy I for the first time ever! I’ve played it a bunch on and off in the past but never actually to completion. (And to platinum trophy as well lol) Was really fun for what it was and now into Final Fantasy II, a game I’ve never touched! 😅 #gamesky #rpg #games

What got you started on the path towards making games my game dev friends? For me it was StarEdit / StarCraft Campaign Editor. The Trigger system was just complex enough to do whatever I needed without it becoming overwhelming for my 10 year old mind. 😅

Oh man, RIP Legend 🎺 Chuck Mangione was one of my favorite recurring characters on King of the Hill. "Feels so good" transports me back www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFqp...

It's my birthday today so I thought I'd make a recap of all the #gamedev I did since last year. Also I heard I get to wish for reposts today?😶‍🌫️ Backing track is new music I made for the game. #solodev #horrorgame #indiedev

Goooood morning yall! ☀️ Got my crafting system working, at least in the most basic sense, onto making it so you can equip tools / weapons next. Then maybe making the UI not incredibly ugly so I can share it haha Anyone else got some gamedev plans for today? 😊 #gamedev #indiedev

Working on a crafting system in my Unreal Project and looking for some inspiration / examples ... What game has your favorite Crafting system? 😀 Do you have a preference for knowing the recipe, learning them, or it all being a mystery until you attempt it?? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

🥵It's super hot outside so another game dev day working on my Unreal Project Added Ragdolling on death! (or debug key pressed) Now my character at least can enjoy the nice blue waters on this scorcher JUMP ON IN! 😅 #indiegame #gamedev #UnrealEngine

How many of you remember the Tonka PC games? My brother and I used to played the hell out of them when we were kids. Specially Tonka construction. I’ve been looking for abandonware games from my childhood to pass onto my son, they seem to still have all their charm!

Working on my weird little survivor game in Unreal today. It's been fun getting more experience using the tools that more or less come out of the box. My den / office with zero air flow is too warm and the water is way too inviting, it's not fair lol #indiegames #gamedev #indiedevs #unrealengine

My version of vibe coding is having some hibiscus tea with episodes of Smallville on the second screen while I get some puzzles implemented. Clearly peak way of getting more familiar with Unreal Engine. I don’t need AI to create a bunch of tech debt for me, I can do that myself lol #gamedev

Only got 3 hours of sleep last night but surprisingly I have a bit of energy to work on one of my Godot projects... not going to question it lol Looking into some shader work and GridMaps! First time fiddling with 3D in Godot land.

Some turn-based games I love ❤️

Enjoying my first Father’s Day with my little guy. We’ve been up together since 3am, watching a Metal Gear Solid play through and napping lol Happy Father’s Day yall 💜

💜 Happy Friday the 13th 💜 Time to watch Jason do his thing. What are your favourite horror films / movies to watch? 💀

Also joined the major distraction that is Mario Kart World lol The super close calls make up for getting Mario karted all the time Alright back to some game dev work.

Question for my Godot game devs ⁉️ What are your must have plugins / assets? The ones you tend to add to your projects always. I’m still new to Godot land and looking for a few recommendations. At the moment the dialogue manager 3 is one of mine 😅 #gamedev #godot

When you’re trying to contact customer support for a broken product under warranty and you’re greeted with chat gpt like responses until radio silence with no other working way to get through. This is the future… now!

It is important to recognize that a homophobic bigot decided to take this man’s life. This talent is gone because of unjustified and irrational hatred. Rest In Peace, Jonathan, and know your legacy is carried with love. May the world change for the better, with peace for all.

Happy pride month y’all 🏳️‍🌈

Started my own 30 day game jam Rules are to just work on whenever I can this month, when I’m not on baby duty or taking hundreds of pictures of him while he sleeps I’ll get about the same total hours in as a weekend long jam lol Let the sleep deprived new parent game jam begin Current mood board

Question for yall. When starting a game with the option to choose the names for your characters (and other things) do you leave them as the defaults? Does it change if it’s the first play thru? Or different genres? (Stardew vs final fantasy)
