Chipping away on a toy 2D platformer, check out the first devlog video! Hollow Knight / Super Metroid / Prince of Persia-inspired project to explore how to make it satisfying to jump around and explore the world www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gex... #gamedev #2dplatformer #metroidvania #unity

chilling with a very still friend #gamedev #indiedev

you know there's no AI cause the art is jank anyway the backgrounds are better now #gamedev #indiedev #metroidvania #unity2d

more messing with the backgrounds now with chill vibes courtesy of new fog and particles #gamedev #unity2d #indiedev #platformer #metroidvania

got the backgrounds working #gamedev #unity2d #indiedev #platformer #metroidvania

the platformer project is back on the menu boys

yo I made a game in 3 hours it's called bolf you play golf with a bomb check it out: tikarohd.itch.io/bolf #gamedev #unity2d

the main menu screen is actually composed of many screens featuring my bastard child of a CRT shader #gamedev #unity2d #indiedev #platformer

behold! it moves!! Rendered fully in Unity now. Still missing the CRT shadow mask. #gamedev #unity2d #indiedev #platformer

Don't learn how to draw. Forever hide behind CRT shaders instead. Be a man. (Mockup, trying a simpler art style because I want to get somewhere with this project 🐛) #gamedev #unity2d #indiedev #platformer

Just add that feature you've been thinking about. It's not scope creep, you wanted to add it from the beginning anyway. Don't worry about the roadmap, everyone does this all the time. It won't hurt.

me: gee I wonder where I am the trusty map that shadows my every move: #gamedev #unity2d #indiedev #platformer

some days it really do be the same damn thing over and over again. Time to once again establish the supremacy of printing lines over any other conceivable method of debugging #gamedev #unity2d #indiedev #platformer

You can now talk to a red box that ominously disregards gravity to engage with the free(?) markets. (I added shops, the game has shops now) #gamedev #unity2d #indiedev #platformer

If you liked this key art, you'll love the game it was for! Check it out 💖

can you guess what I've been up to this weekend? Regular #gamedev updates will be back next week 😶‍🌫️

Hands that look like actual hands! god bless drawing refs #gamedev #indiedev #unity2d #platformer #pixelart

A new type of critter to keep you company on this #ScreenshotSaturday 🐛👀 #gamedev #indiedev #unity2d #platformer

Most playtests begin running through this precarious hallway. This time I changed it just enough for a poor enemy to get Han Soloed into the wall😩 #gamedev #indiedev #unity2d #platformer

sometimes you wake up violently hungover only to realize you somehow solved a rendering problem that’s haunted you for years anyway back to bed #techart #gamedev #pixelart

Night (or rather late evening) race this weekend in #ClassicSportDriving! Including an impressive tightening corner at the bottom of a hill that will take a bit of time to get right!⛐😉 🏎️===💨 #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegames #racinggame #retrogaming

i really wish i was above external validation but its kind of hard to rebuild an audience here amongst the blue skies - but i will keep at it! so if you want to follow along on our journey making our strange little game please do! ❤️ #gamedev #techart #pixelart

i made it exist first, now i'm making it look good! #gamedev #indiedev

New devlog is up! Go listen to my prosaic roundabout ways of telling you I want Hollow Knight's minimap whilst implementing said minimap into our platformer 👹 www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOg6... #gamedev #unity2d #indiedev

Check out THE IRONY! Sign up for the playtest: playtester.io/the-irony #IndieGaming #GameDev #Gaming #IndieDev #IndieGame

Welcome all you beginners & pros, coders & artists, composers & promoters! 🙋‍♂️ Ask to be included in this pack and I will add you. A "👍" on your request comment means you're in! #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev #GameAudio #GameArt #GameDesign #Godot #UnrealEngine #Unity #Blender #Gaming #IndieGames

An update to my little farming game! 🌿🌱 #indiedev #pixelart #videogames #gamedev steam page: store.steampowered.com/app/3136330?...

Got the meat of the dialogue system working! NPCs can now not only talk at your mute tricolor form, but also give you items and trigger Dark Souls-esque choice windows ("Choose A or B"). Each step can also affect the global world state #gamedev #unity2d #indiedev #ScreenshotSaturday

Making good progress on the trees, but still have work to do on the transition to the edge of the map. #pixelart #ドット絵 #gamedev #indiedev

Thine loyal servant brings you another update. Shader containment unit has been breached, everything is going haywire, rudimentary water reflection material has begun spontaneously appearing in the world. (ya boy has written his first baby shader) #gamedev #indiedev #unity2d

#UE #Blender #UnrealEngine #tech #gamedev 🥳My 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 addon is finally complete and officially available as a Blender Extension! I spent way too much time coding it + writing a 150-page manual and over 2 hours of video tutorials. 😅 youtube.com/watch?v=hC2_... More detail in the🧵

I wrote a thing about aesthetics in the prototyping phase! neighbourhoodsnake.com/2025/07/23/f... Read it and weep, haters!!! P.S. I'm trying my hand at clickbait, please don't feel obliged to either read it, or weep, even if you consider yourself a "hater".

The machines could never live up to the magnificent glory of a spontaneous 5 minute photoshop after a friend mentions "crabbage"

You though I was working on some grungy sci-fi platformer? Get bamboozled, get absolutely played - I want grungy persian moods in this groundbreaking game about a guy jumping on things. This is the first real "draft" for the main menu. Low-quality till I settle on the aesthetics 🤡 #gamedev #unity2d
