For my game TinyHoopers , I have several JSON config files which let me change various game settings remotely depending on the version, platform and env. Doing everything by hands has become a nightmare so I started working on a web app to help me on that. Should be fun 🤩😁 !

Added acceleration. The quicker you make moves the faster the cube goes. Speed acceleration is reflected through color changes.

This prototype is largely inspired by the game Edge from mobigame.

That was fun :) #prototyping #indiedev #gemini3

Quick test with 1 prompt on Gemini 3. It did everything I asked.
Had to iterate twice to improve the camera (still glitchy).
Levels are procedurally generated, but not great.

Will keep iterating on this till tomorrow 10am before going back to #tinyhoopers 😅
Let's see how far I can go with this.

⏰ Woke up at 6am
👀 Saw that Gemini 3 was announced
🤪 Putting in pause everything I planned till tomorrow 10am

Updating Fan challenge UI and adding logo for team #indiegame #indiedev

Additional work incoming 😶

Thank you! I'm definitely looking forward adding those subtle animation to make the UI more alive 😁

Just noticed the Google icon drifting to the left... 🤧

I like this screen 😊 #login #godot

What the hell??? I definitely didn't code that 🤣😂😭

Apple Store Small Business Program

Yeahy 😊 #solodev #mobilegames #indiegames

Thank you 🙏

Testing rebounds. Need to adjust the distance for the “snap” between the ball and the player’s hands though #indiegamedev #solodev #godotengine #tokyoindiedev

I initially put it near the hoop, but I didn’t like it. Maybe because there’s the point counter 🤔. There’s actually already a green trail but it sucks since I can’t use glow on it I like the idea of having the ball flash. I’ll do that!

As usual when doing something boring/difficult, one way to refresh my mind is to spend some "minutes" on something a bit more fun. NBA2K players love "green animation" (appears when the shot hit green) and asked me to make an implementation of it. Not sure abotu it 🤔 #godotengine #solodev #Nba2K

Alright, that will be it for now. Now, let's go back working on Godot plugins 😢 #godot #solodev #indiegamedev

Working on iOS & Android Godot plugins was exhausting (more on that later). So taking a break by working on a studio set. I won't use it in the game, but on my IG page where I will have 2 hosts sharing basketball news, hoping it will redirect viewers to my game 😅😀 #godot #indiegame #hackmarketing 🤔

Alright! Ball’s physic is almost back to normal. A little bit more adjustment and migration to Godot 4.4.1 will be complete.
Eside that iOS and Android export don’t seem to have suffer much 😅 #solodev #godotengine

Yeahy! People are playing my new Fan Challenge mode 🥰
It’s one thing to be confident about one idea, it’s another thing to actually see the result and people responses #solodev #indiegame

Compilation of Godot 4.4 completed.

First test…. something weird happened to the physics 😭 #godot #solodev

Yesterday I took 5 minutes to take a look back at all the work I've done so far. Honestly, design may not be great, I don't know how all this will end, but I don't care. This game, my first as a one man band, is one of my very best work overall. 🥲 #solodev #indiedev #prouddev

Version 0.28.0 being in review, time to migrate to Godot 4.4. Compiling... #godot #solodev #compiling #tokyoindies

I'm getting an annoying random crash... So went extreme on this and decided to put in there 30 hoopers and let them play during my lunch break. They are surely looking like they are having more fun that I do... 😅 #godot #indiedev #lunchbreak #tokyoindies

✅ Server secure (as much as possible) and clean 😮‍💨
✅ Fan Challenge game mode
✅ Fan Challenge leaderboard
✅ Fan Challenge pass for US Men League
✅ Screen to select the team for which to compete

Few more bug fixes and I'll release the new version to beta testers 😁

#indiegames #godot #TokyoIndies

Just finished my reward screen. As usual very basic, but that will do it for now.
Just need to feed it with item_id (which contains item name, description ...etc) and amount 😊 #solodev #gameui #godotengine

Added a new game mode called “Drill Zone” (naming isn’t my strength 😅).

Fan Challenge will likely use it for now, but I set it up so any mode can be used. Once PvP is ready, I will easily be able to plug it into Fan Challenge 😁 #solodev #godotengine #tokyoindies #indiegame

Alright! I think I got my design for the vertical version of the Fan Challenge's UI 😁 At least for now...
Let's cleanup the Horizontal version ! #solodev #tinyhoopers

Thank you 🙏

Working on some mockup for tickets to be used in my upcoming Fan Challenge mode (competition events based on real life basketball game). Since TinyHoopers can be played both in Landscape and Portrait, I decided to have 2 designs for each, which is a nightmare 😭 #godotengine #solodev #indiedev

I saw there's a "starter pack" trend going on. Here's my contribution #startpack #lebronjames #tinyhoopers #trend
