In the last few moths I've made 2 loading screens for work and about to make one for Stellopark. ~ ~ Loading Screen Limbo ~ ~

Hello #gamedev #indiedev, pls have me backkkk

Worked on balance today and fearing (or rejoicing) I'm stepping into super hexagon/OSU territory

For sure, just trying to solve this riddle of not burning out in the first place ๐Ÿ˜ต

Did I already say me and UI have a Stockholm syndrome situation going on

I found that, for some reason, I do not have it in me to have a fulltime job (development) and do #indiedev in my free time. Anyone else? Were you able to tackle it?

But I took a week off to work on my project and it's very fun :)

my slow-slow #outofrut30 continues for day 4 and 5 with a music composition course I've been meaning to take for a while ๐Ÿค

I've been cycling a lot lately and apparently that + full time job + indie is a bit complicated to figure out

#gamedev #outofrut30 day 3: wrote a lil todo for tomorrow: I'd like to make level scenes more neat and make a cute-colorful parallax stars โœจ

Today's #gamedev #outofrut30: simply fixed a couple of "bugs" and explored the project ๐Ÿ˜ด

Coming back after a 3-month (I think?) break is like diving into a completely strange project

Ok, it's time to get out of my #gamedev rut. I'm gonna do one thing/feature a day for the next 30 days, no matter how big or small

How does one get back into a medium-sized #gamedev #indiedev project after taking a couple-months break?

Congrats! I love the Prisoner of Azkaban references. Loved this game growing up :)

I've been pleasantly surprised by how many people are making games with little round planets in them. If you check the "posts" section of this starter pack, it may have the highest concentration of various people posting procedurally generated planets out of anywhere on the internet (very niche)

Thank you for including me! Just the motivation I needed ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿš€

I had that! I have a desktop for personal use and a work laptop and this dread went away when I started working on my laptop in a different room.

Ofc it's inconvenient, but the lack of dread ended up being worth it for me :)

A graph. "Confidence in Quality of Game" on the Y axis, "TIME" on the x. The line starts out confident but by the end is fucking all over the place.

Reminded of this important document, as true today as it was TEN years ago.

Entitled "Look, I made you a little graph about Game Development"
