Thank you!

Behold! An overhauled game interface! It took a little while but I'm really pleased with how it turned out. #gamedev #indiedev

Lofi Beats Incorporated's scores: #24 in Audio, #116 in Creativity, #281 in Enjoyment, #860 in Narrative, and #2811 in Artwork

Absolutely reeling at my game's scores from the #gmtk #gamejam!? Out of 9,564 entries, I did NOT expect to reach 24th best in anything. Still likely not enough to get into the wrap-up video, but that'll be a good goal for next year. My #gamedev hubris has no limits

After a very long weekend, I finished the GMTK game jam strong - presenting Lofi Beats Incorporated! I'm gonna go take a nap now... noah-dundas-games.itch.io/lofi-loops-i...

How it feels to be nearly done but quickly running out of time at the game jam #gmtk #gamejam #indiedev #gamedev

She's here, and my art skills have certainly reached their limits. Oh well, practice makes perfect and all that.

Pixel art lofi scene, with the typical listener as a very rough pink outline that looks very out of place

I have once again made the classic blunder of forgetting that almost all calico cats are female. I shall go to the dungeon.

Honestly turned out way better than I was expecting. His name is Creamsicle!

This year's GMTK Game Jam's theme is "Loops", and despite knowing nothing about music, my mind went straight to lofi tracks. It's humble start, but I'm excited to keep developing this idea! (sound on)

Built the first iteration of my game's combat system! It definitely needs a bit of refinement, but I'm excited about the direction. #gamedev #indiedev

A videogame settings screen with three volume sliders. Two are set to 100, and the third is set to 29 million, its slider stretching far off screen.

I may have slightly miscalculated my volume settings...

Perhaps the sign of a good game is that I'm actually enjoying building the settings menu. Or perhaps I've simply gone mad. Only time will tell. #indiedev #gamedev

#KabutoPark is such a great reminder to people in #gamedev that small games are not only more feasible for a small team, but that simplicity can be a huge part of the appeal. It's so refreshing! #indiedev

Oh no

Finally starting Outer Wilds! I sure hope nothing bad happens to the sun

Had the pleasure of playing @gshowitt.bsky.social's Kenku Bin Wizards this weekend - it was an absolute blast! Definitely worth checking out if you enjoy little crow guys

Met some super cool folks at the @gamemaker.io meetup in PAX East! If I missed you there, hello here! #PAX #PAXEast

Thank you so much!! If y'all ever want to make an official hedge mage subclass, feel free to use as much or as little of this as you'd like!

Inspired by @worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social, I've attempted to build a wizard subclass with no spellbook. Is it bad? Probably. Is it cool? I think so. #dnd

Drugs? I don't need drugs. I have spending 2 hours to code a button and then clicking it. #indiedev #gamedev
