I agree. Depth over breadth.

it just works better.

The people who love your game are going to REALLY love it.

Is it opposite day?

That's a great question! Asking for a friend here.

This applies to ANY programming problem. For me specifically, the Godot Forum.

Make sure that statue is made of THE most polished marble, please.

This is such a strangely good outfit.

I'm not a fashion designer in the slightest, but my best description would be a science-religion-formal uniform hybrid.

I feel this type of outfit would work for a benevolent, but stern leader of some sort.

Just like the ground, this is pretty solid.

#indie #indiegames #gamedev #Bluesky #indiedev #gamedevelopment #indiegamedev #indiegame

True that. But gibberish is the bare minimum for sound and emotion.

‪@blackjackgabbiani.bsky.social

Gibberish is not only funny, but also pretty practical.

It keeps the focus on the gameplay, makes localization easier, and can even have a in-universe reason for existing.

You're a real cut above the rest.

Here's my pitch: cigarette smoke bomb!!!

It's literally just a pack of cigs tied up and lit on fire. Creating a smelly and damaging AOE.

That's my idea for Monkanics at least.

#indie #indiegames #gamedev #Bluesky #indiedev #gamedevelopment #indiegamedev #indiegame

A community.

I really think having people who REALLY like your game just changes everything about how you develop in a good way.

That's what I want to achieve at least.

I MADE EVEN MORE PROGRESS!!!

I've started on reworking/fixing how the player rotates and how the server tracks this important information.

I sure am. I'll take it for a spin later today.

Yep! I've got public proof too. And It's only going to accumulate as the days go by.

I've requested access to the playtest! I've got to try this game out sometime.

I HAD to share this!

As a multiplayer developer myself, I think the arcade soccer genre is pretty slept on. I can say the same for most sports games (The aren't bland yearly releases).

#indie #indiegames #gamedev #Bluesky #indiedev #gamedevelopment #indiegamedev #indiegame

I sure do.

I blog about my progress daily, so my deadline is 11:59 PM. It keeps me going, that's for sure.

Now THIS is my type of question!

I wake up, then I start working and blogging immediately.

Daily blogging is critical to my workflow, as I can log my progress and soothe my sanity.

Read it if you wish.

Wow, this is impressive!

I don't even know how to spell fiziks.

I FINALLY MADE A BREAKTHROUGH TODAY!!!!!!!!!

I remembered projectiles spawned from the player are actually their children. Now, I can make progress!

You need to take every opportunity you can out here.

Why not?

What's the harm in networking with other devs and potential players.

I do it all the time.

I have no idea what half of these words mean, but it sure looks cool.

#indie #indiegames #gamedev #Bluesky #indiedev #gamedevelopment #indiegamedev #indiegame

Thanks for the advice. It actually made me feel a lot better.

I just feel pretty bad when I don't handle my responsibilities. I'm not trying to overwork, but there's a certain expectation my own brain has/what life required of me that have to be fulfilled.

I started late again and got nothing done... again. I'm really in a rough patch right now.

OK. It's done, I fixed it. My blog is now readable, to you at least.

I used the Dark Reader chrome extension for general convenience, but now have to disable it for Blogger.

MY EYES! THEY BURN!!!!! IT'S ACTUALLY HORRIBLE!!!

#Monkanics #indie #indiegames #godot #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment

For context, I was implementing a coyote time mechanic using coyote code which relied on coyote variables.

THEN, I kept a coyote count throughout the devlog for funsies.

No spoilers, but it's a LOT of coyote coyote coyote.

#Monkanics #indie #indiegames #godot #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment

I'm in the middle of changing all my blog post's text colors from black to white. It's a tedious, but necessary.

But then I got to my coyote time post.

I'M IN HELL RIGHT NOW!!!! ALL BECAUSE OF MY STUPID PINK COYOTE TEXT.

#Monkanics #indie #indiegames #godot #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment

I have to update the whole thing now!!!

So, I just got some feedback on the readability of my blog. I didn't think about it because I have a dark mode extension.

I just turned it off.

MY WHOLE BLOG HAS BEEN UNREADABLE FOR THE LAST 27 DAYS!!!!

I AM SO SORRY!!!!!!!
