Every day is a school day.. today's new skill: procedural generation and tilemap manipulation.

#Godot is an incredibly easy engine to pick up

Rocket Drop: Update

#gamedev #godot

- Learned shaders
- Added some particles
- A screen shake
- A realtime UI
- More art!

Soooo much left to do but this is so much fun!

Oh he looks like Toothless!

Hey, thats two words

Rocket Drop: Update

#gamedev #godot

- I now have an art style
- Learned to 'chunk' the blocks to allow for up to 25,000 blocks without a performance hit
- Swap between available rockets after death

Next up, the shop and powerups!

Learning #Godot - my first indie "hobby" game; Rocket Drop

The first powerup is already working too; "Duplicate" - you will notice there is a slim chance for the "rocket" to duplicate itself when hitting a block

#buildinpublic

The front-end is nearly done.. now for some API magic ✨

Well no; the idea is to turn your time directly into invoices without any hassle

Time entry -> Invoice in less than 10 seconds is the plan

A GitHub style activity calendar

#buildinpublic: A GitHub style activity calendar for tracking your consistency during freelancing

I plan for this app to be full of useful statistics that help you become a better Freelancer

#buildinpublic: A simple timer component (with a React Hook + API Syncing)

Perfect solution for quickly tracking your time against a Project

A SaaS Dashboard listing Projects and their value

#buildinpublic: Project List View

A mock up of the Project List; essential information only for the time being with some quick analytics

More to come!

Staying consistent is the hardest part for me.. I can build a product, get everything working and then just stop.

I am learning new ways to prevent this from happening and finding ways to hold myself accountable.

This gives a lot of motivation to get back on it though 💪

Love that, thanks!

I guess its time to #buildinpublic

Let's keep one another motivated 💪 Show me what you're working on and keep an eye out for the upcoming posts 👀

What have you been working on lately? :D

Its been a while. Is #buildinpublic still a thing? :)

Silo, Foundation, Bad Sisters and Sloe Horses. All fantastic series on Apple+. For me and my wife, they’re the 🐐 of streaming platforms.

Social inactivity: restored

Coding inactivity: never happened

I have been very quiet recently whilst I put together my second #buildinpublic application.

How has everyone been? ✨

Good morning everyone! 👋🏼

You sit and work every day
You learn/improve every day
You do it over and over again

Eventually, things fall into place and successes pile up.

So, if you feel behind - relax.

You're not that different from anyone else.
You just haven't reached the good part yet.

Keep going.

I meant to ask earlier, how did you get the confetti to 'pop' on the screen? 😜

Thank you Marko! 🦋

Hey Andrew! 👋

I had more questions than subscribers unfortunately

For a fresh SaaS, 4 pricing plans made it overkill

Ha, thank you Karla!

I am thinking of adding a 'health alert' system to Fio.

(Fio is a task/time tracking app to convert your time directly to an invoice)

I have Autism & ADHD and forget to:
- 🍔 Eat
- 🍺 Drink
- 🧘‍♂️ Take breaks

Who would utilise a reminder system to do these things?
