I can’t believe Kojima was in my city 🤯

So I built an RSS Reader app because I wanted something simple. Built for iOS / iPadOS and macOS (coming soon, had to make a minor fix) native Swift + SwiftUI with iCloud sync, notifications, $2, no ads, no subscription, no tracking apps.apple.com/us/app/swift... #ios #rss #iosdev #indiedev

Decided to get back into iOS app development and I’m pretty close to finished with this app I’m combining a recipe book with shopping lists and “what’s in the pantry” management to keep track of what’s on hand Will also have a community sharing feature and a “cooking mode” #iosdev #swiftlang

Now I’ve added Docker containerization 🐳

I decided to start learning some back-end development for the sake of finding a job and decided to make a little project to help with gamedev asset management. Stuff like licenses, categorizing by type, links to their sources, etc. Using FastAPI and it definitely lives up to its name

Nothing much new to show, but as an amateur dev this scene transition was kind of an accomplishment! Only took the morning, and I'm feeling ambitious still. What do I add next? Honest question, as I value feedback. #gamedev #IndieGame #IndieDev #PixelArt #RetroGaming #GODOT #Horror #spooky

Hey Godot devs, are there any plugins in particular that you’d recommend for a solo dev making a 2D game? I haven’t used any plugins so far and I was thinking that it might be a good idea to explore them and see if there’s anything that would greatly save my sanity #godot #gamedev

Short video I made of my game in development ☢️ #gamedev #indiegamedev #godot

Working on making my NPC behavior more interesting by giving them vision with raycasts so they will need to see the player, not simply be psychic and know where the player is at all times #godot #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #indiegames

Today I’m working on trying to make the enemy behavior in my game more interesting I’m thinking I’m going to implement a sort of “last known position” and investigation system when enemies lose sight of the player, which will let you flank them or escape fights #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Overnight I managed to get my most views so far on a YouTube short for my gamedev channel ☺️ I’m going to continue to post short clips of my game as I develop it, and later on I want to make longer devlogs and demonstrations www.youtube.com/@V01DWORKS #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot

Got one of my gamedev YouTube shorts to hit over 500 views for the first time so that’s pretty cool

I decided to start trying to post at least once per day to a TikTok account dedicated to my in-development game, which I’ve decided to name Zone of Alienation ☢️ If you’re interested in following my progress, check it out here www.tiktok.com/@v01dworks?_... #gamedev #indiedev

I’m hand-drawing a lot of my game assets and found out that procreate can export video timelapses which is pretty cool. I’m not that good at digital art yet but it’s very fun So this is my process making a simple little 2D ammo box in Procreate which I’ll export into Godot #gamedev #indiedev

lol I’m curious if anyone has put Linux / SteamOS on an Xbox ally yet Although, it looks like it’s basically the ROG Ally but with Xbox branding?

Wanted to give a shoutout to Doc because I was just reading through this yesterday and it was a great article that genuinely gave me a lot of ideas for how to differentiate enemy types in my game that I’ve already started to work on implementing #indiedev #gamedev #godot

I had company while I ate tonight, he basically has been right next to me all evening ☺️ #cats

Working on re-making how my game’s animations work for guns to make them more interesting and allow for a more complex weapons system while my girlfriend’s cat keeps me company #gamedev #Godot #cats

I think I can officially say that I’ve managed to win the affection of my girlfriend’s cat since we moved

Since I have a lot of time on my hands while I wait for news from job hunting, I'm going to focus a bit more on gamedev. Most recently, I've been working on improving the projectiles, making them more visible, and fixing collision so they don't fly through the walls #godot #gamedev

I wasn’t able to take my gaming PC with me on the first trip when I moved, so I’ve had to use only my Steam Deck Decided to use an external SSD plugged into the dock so I can just store games I’m not actively playing and it’s working pretty nicely

Something something aesthetic

I found pistachio donuts and my life will never be the same I have entered a new era

Finished round one of interviewing with a company and it went well Was rejected for the role I applied for that I honestly was under-qualified for anyways, but moved forward for a different one and now I wait I’m both so exhausted and so full of nervous energy at the same time lol

So I haven’t posted on here in a while, but recently made the move to Belgrade and am still getting settled in with everything. Got an apartment but now working on sorting out a job+residency things

Started playing the Oblivion remaster and after getting out of the sewers I wander and walk into the first inn I see Like 7 NPCs are all having different conversations at the same time, talking over each other Then suddenly a fight breaks out and they keep talking while fighting It’s perfect 🥹

Blue hour at Lake Bled, Slovenia.

i miss when Videos Games™ were GOOD smh 😔

I'm going to do my monthly-ish ask of people to wishlist my game. I believe I will make something great and worth your time. I really want to be able to make this work, because covid degraded my social skills to the point that I can't work in an office any more +health problems. #indiegamedev

Well, that settles the debate
