Working on adding a dynamic camera to the game! The camera getting closer really shows how rushed some of the animations are, so I guess I gotta update those next... #gamedev

I dunno, seems a little too easy in all honesty

I'm hosting my very own (and FREE) game design class! It's going to be run over the month of November, and will teach the basics of how to make a game from nothing but an engine!

I would HIGHLY recommend any devs make a powerpoint about their projects. It's just fun ngl, and helps me with visuals at very least. Not my GDD, but my little baby nonetheless ๐Ÿคง #gamedev

See, thatโ€™s what i was thinking, unless youโ€™re making a franchise (which most arent to my knowledge) at most you could make a studio account, but thats it

Genuine question for my fellow devs: at the indie size, is it really worth it to make a separate account for a specific game instead of sharing progress on your own account? Iโ€™m debating if I should do that for my next project since itโ€™s bigger #gamedev

As Steam cracks down on adult games, one dev urges taking back control Game developers fear for the future of games with LGBTQ themes, which is leading some to pursue alternate (and way cooler) forms of distribution

Also in general, I think unless you're getting really advanced, the free tutorials and guides and such are usually better bang for your buck imo

If you're down for 2D, you could try putting something together in Gamemaker Studio 2? It's a pretty beginner-friendly engine, and I'm teaching a free class on it in November

We call that game jam fodder in my book

How many modifiers does the game have so far? ๐Ÿ‘€

Nothing quite as fun and challenging as expanding a game jam entry. Hope you have the best of luck, and I'll be keeping up with it all!

Testing out a lot of different color palettes while I'm going through changing the visuals. Let me know what your favorite is (might have to click on the image to see it all T-T) #gamedev #pixelart

HELLO GAME DEVELOPERS

if i want to have a really small amount of data stored on the internet that my game can ask for information about and push information to, what are my options? it'd be really nice if i didn't have to set up a server somewhere or anything

I know its a guitar game so duh, but I just love how you utilize music in the game, especially stuff like this!

Making BETTER Combat | Punch Punch PUNCH!!! Devlog 1
Punch Punch PUNCH!!! is a 2D fighter focused on stamina management that I'm currently developing. I've been working on it for a few months now, and while I did have a more complete beta build, I'm now focusing on expanding the scope, which is why you see characters going outside of the ring a lot: I literally expanded the ring, just not the art alongside it. There's more to the current build of the game than in the video, like a functional settings menu as well as a menu in general. I might make a video on it in the future, but I'm also redefining the visuals at the moment, so it might be a while. Punch Punch PUNCH!!! is not yet public on Steam, but it will be at one point! ~~~~~ The Story Nerd here! I'm a video game developer and a major nerd!

CDawgVA: World of Pals by Story Nerd Studios Rogue-lite Shooter

Here's the game if you wanna try it out. I've updated it once with some quality of life features, as well as a browser version.

Don't take shit from people trying to tear you down for not doing things in a specific way. Own it, and do your way the way only you can!

I obviously don't keep in contact with my original partner anymore, as the original conflict ended things pretty swiftly. I wish them nothing but the best, but to any other creative people reading this: it matters not your current skills or talents, anyone can change and become something better.

Not to say the game was perfect, it was a game jam entry after all, bugs and fundamental problems galore, but it felt like the end of an anime arc.

I don't know the official ranking I have in the jam yet, but this was a complete win in my book.

These are just some of the responses I got on the game, and I'm not even kidding when I say I teared up a little reading them for the first time. I had done it. I had proved myself. I had changed.

Submission came and went, and I stepped away from my computer, ready for the worst. Last Monkey Jam was far from a success, this could be just another failure.

I didn't even check Itch until the next day.

All of it culminated in this year's Monkey Jam. I spent three nights working until the sunrise, my friends helping me along with playtesting and words of encouragement. Even though I was running it solo, it would be a test to prove myself, not to my old partner, but to myself.
