Tech Talk: Trezy and the Games Industry Labeler & Game Dev Feed Trezy built a Games Industry Labeler, including self-labeled and verified accounts, moderated with an Ozone instance, as well maintaining a Game Dev Feed.

Hey @bsky.app team -- @trezy.codes runs a full verification process with the Games Industry Labeler.

Would be great to onboard him as a community verifier sooner rather than later.

Not a bad question at all!

Godot and GameMaker are likely going to be your best choices for a 2D tactics game. If you aren't already familiar with either of these engines, I'd probably lean towards Godot since it's free and pretty easy to use. They both have good support for tile-based games.

Seconding this, Fmod is great for indie audio design/implementation. Super powerful and useful once you get the hang of it! Makes certain things really easy.

Oh hey! I'm currently working on an indie project with some friends that I'm excited to share with the world soon! Gonna be posting about it here (may make an account *for* the game too haha)

Oh hey I like a lot of those things! I finally played Signalis and I can't believe I missed it absolutely NAILS the atmosphere. Resident Evil and Silent Hill DNA really shines through.

I haven't used GameMaker much but my understanding is that it makes it pretty easy to make simple 2D games, it has a visual and traditional scripting language you can chose from.

That said, don't get too wrapped up in worrying about programming! If you know what you want it will come back to you!

Hello Bluesky! I don't expect I'll post too much, BUT I will introduce myself:

I'm an indie dev, working on a cool project I can't wait to share, and I'm super into Platformers, RPG's, and animation.

I am currently playing Metaphor:ReFantazio and just finished Signals (what a game!).
