'IM WORTH THAT NOW EVERYONE!'📈🤷🚀💯🙏

EU Regulators: 😬

Paying for the apple developer program is painful, their back end and systems are broken shit, and their support is non-existent.

Just put in a ticket, get told 24hrs and buckle in for weeks.

So worth $150, 'think different' my ass. Legit worst platform to dev for, fuck apple.

I feel like there is that kind of fear whenever a big thing like this happens, but what I often see and hope to see more is people diversifying their diet and just not investing in THESE types of games.

I sure wish Cairn had options outside default rage bait mode/turning everything off.

Exploration/learning are severely punished by default, and seems super artificial/tacked on.

Would love a middle ground instead only being able to disable entirely.

so Meta fired the people making the metaverse, I bet the AI techlads will be wishing they could do that next 'very soon'.

instead they'll beg for bail outs because they accidentally speculated their way into mountains of useless data centers.

meanwhile I just want a ram upgrade this lifetime..😢

really love this, really cool style, that linework is sick. 😻

Block in for a 3d asset being created, shows a grey boxed market stall with a cat standing behind it for scale/reference.

was super bored from documentation/on-boarding scripting for last couple weeks, so spent last bit of today blocking in a market stall I've been wanting to do.

Constantly lament when games would ask where to save. Remember when that was standard?
Then we made it 'easier' by making it a giant mess and assuming the user is an idiot.

Dev pov: people asking for support on how to find/move their saves is maybe the biggest request.

#artvsartist for 2025: 💜
Started with a big #pixelart commission project followed by 6 months of #gamedev as I learned #gamemaker programming and rebuilt 60% of demo systems for #Moonshell_Island. A challenging but satisfying year of growth for me. 💪🦀

Whoa it's that super festive super cheery super loud and emotionally draining season again!

😅..why not throw on some headphones and have a couple of clucks to yourself?🐣

I am not surprised the developer who demanded maps, a known vital point of accessibility for people (like myself), would ruin their immersion.
Using scraped stolen data?
That's cool.
Making your game accessible to large groups of people?
Nah.

Im surprised anyone is surprised honestly.

'..the productivity is through the roof NO NO DON'T LOOK JUST TRUST ME WTF!!!'

After several weeks of hard work:
🔥 New demo of The Shadowed Rune
📽️ New trailer
🔫 New playable character: Veld, the Arcane Hunter
🎆 Major graphic update & improved lighting
🗓️ Save the date: December 4

#TheShadowedRune #IndieGames #Roguelike #SoloDev

honestly making games is super hard on its own, and making content cost dev time spesh if you are indie workin on bootstrap and sweat.
always be postin. and repostin imo.
if you get anything but love from other creatives/devs they might just be jerks/and can always mute. 😄

🌲 - It is tough for horses to maneuver though dense forest!

🏃 - I added a little speed adjustment when for all unit's is running though rough terrain such as includes tiles such as mountains and water.

#GodotEngine #IndieDev #IndieGames #GameDev #SRPG

haven't really done this, but am gonna start. Saw other creatives discuss and one young sticker artist I follow humbled me into not being as precious.
They repost constantly, and ya know what I love it, cos their work is awes.
Diff time zones, diff peeps, diff marketing budgets etc..
I say let rip.

the assets are implemented in unity, also made some fence; that tiling texture was a massive pain in the ass but worth it. now for a decoration pass on the city!

😻yo wishlist our game!

I take it you then line the AI up just right so that the first footfall can sync, then use root motion?
Guess you could repeat on each cycle and add variation/resync?
Am I dumb?

oh aye one of them long nosed ones. very unique but still #catGang on technicality of having a scritchable belly.

my cats bellowing demands it's supper time, but goodmornin also.

example of adding detail using shells/decals.
this is instead of unique textures/materials, because all our assets share instanced material libraries.

this means it can work with our customisation system, and is super performant.

if this admission holds up in court you are on the hook for sooooo much therapy. this might be a class action ngl.😬

🚇!!!MEWTRO UPDATE!!!🚇

🤨 yo were you in my childhood night terrors tho? you'd do thE 'floating in space draining the room of heat and oxygen' thing while i was terrified unable to move?

jus wanted to say thnx for bein a real one and not murdering me in my sleep.
i always appreciated that.🙂

Stylised video game assets for an urban area, radio towers, chimneys, air conditioners, and random rubbish and debris.

Close ups of boxes, air conditioners, random cans and boxes of junk food, and a pile of junk made out of the assorted assets and decals.

made new assets for a detail pass on our city.
NOW the FUN part of game dev!
..hours of importing/setting it up to work with our customisation system and setting default colours.. 🥳
one day we will automate this.
after my final art commit prolly.

Last thing I needed today was to wake to see a local 'games' personality literally defending roblox with bullshit like 'kids will be kids'/'what are we meant to do'.

YOU ARE MEANT TO ADVOCATE FOR FAIR REGULATION OF COMPANIES MANIPULATING CURRENT LAWS TO EXPLOIT AND ABUSE KIDS you absolute demons.

From the people who want to call themselves 'games journalists' who only ever seem to regurgitate whatever tf is in the best interests of the giant kid eating corpos.

Not indies. Not consumers. Not the interests of the kids or society or the economy.

Go ahead and tell me how it's fair business wise that I'm not allowed to scrape data, abuse kids, and then say "OH NO IT'S IMPOSSIBLE IT'S A BIG PLATFORM, TOO BIG TO MONITOR, HURR DURR LET THEM ABUSE KIDS."

W T A F is that?
