Awesome! Making anything in particular or just learning for now?
21.06.2025 02:09 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I'll be streaming the journey every so often, gamedev streams have been very fun and good for learning!
And ill upload a new protoype from the godot version when it's playable! Feel free to follow on itchio.
And i'll try and share things I learn here as I go - please share your tips too!
This is about a month so far of my game dev journey from 0 gamedev or coding experience - it's been very rewarding!
Here's the old javascript prototype I made (left in this state since the move to godot).

See if you can beat uber crab!
Another huge thing: after realizing how time wasting it was to have to look up variables and names of stats etc - made a tool to generate updated quick reference.
I just run script to make a new .md file for obsidian whenever I need. I'll be looking for more "tools" and such I can make for myself.
A HUGE improvement has doing tests each step and for each new feature and it's been a huge help for understanding everything, finding bugs and making the whole game a lot more robust!
This is for the morale system implementation. Much fancier and all working nicely! Doing tests is AMAZING! DO it!
It's taking a long time to get back to a playable prototype but Im MUCH more confident now and the systems are working and building together nicely.
I'm so much more organized now and have a great idea of what all I have done, need to do and can do.
CUE: 3rd Do-over, from scratch remaking in GODOT, an actual game making engine. A week in and it's been a lot to learn but it was the right call: UI now "just works", kinda.
More importantly though the resource system has helped structure really good object-based work.
I even got some animated combat going, all with CSS and javascript + text and icons!
But I knew I had a lot of fundamental changes I wanted to make and battling with CSS to get the game UI to function properly across different monitors was being increasingly frustrating...
After a week or so I had a working prototype with some pretty bad UI/UX so I redid most everything (leaving a mess of redundant code scattered about that took a long time to somewhat clean up).

I started with straight up javascript, CSS and HTML as I wanted to make a browser friendly game and I had zero frame of reference. It wasn't a bad choice but was jumping in the deep end for sure.
Still, being able to make things from nothing without even engine support was great learning.
I've been making a game as I have fallen prey to the "Indie Game Streamer tries to make a game" pipeline.
ZERO experience, learning with a combo of tutorials and AI + chat.
It's been extremely fun and addictive.
I'm making "Exiled Guild Manager" - ARPG inspired guild management sim.
Journey ↧
It's Indie Tryouts Day today on stream!
End of every month I sample #IndieGames suggested by chat.
Starting Game is a Roguelite called Sephiria which looks great!

Last night I told #LastEpoch Devs about a bug in offline mode causing echo modifiers to not work at all.
They said they'd look into it.
This morning I woke up and they had deployed a fix! Amazing and a big deal fix to a bug that would've ruined my empowered monos experience.
How the Woven Faction works, difference between tombs and cemeteries, what woven echoes are and how to use em, idol crafting and a bit more on the new #LastEpoch Endgame!

I havent tried controller but I hear the lead producer plays on controller and is big on pushing for it to be as good as possible so hopefully better than when you tried last!

Day 1 first impressions of #LastEpoch season 2... wow.
- Campaign a bit tighter and more interesting with way better gearing (too easy and confusing still tho).
- Endgame is WILD from your first echos.
- Weaver content so far A+!
- New QoL (UI SLIDERS!?) is amazing

What's been happening with Path of Exile 2? What was the problems with Dawn of the Hunt and the game that sent review scores into mostly negative?
And, more importantly, ARE THEY FIXING IT?
Here's a detailed breakdown of 0.2.0 #PathOfExile2

Had a controversially great first day of Path of Exile 2: Dawn of the Hunt.
Bleed Stomp Amazon is cooking VERY nicely.

I'm not sure why they wanted to make Act 1 harder though when people already stuggle on reset.
