We've been chatting in the Raguthra Discord about what it looks like to start game dev, being disillusioned with the traditional day job, and everything that comes with it in various life stages.

That and I hate April Fools posts - seriously with the daily news headlines in the world currently how can you tell what's too insane to be real???
A behind-the-scenes post today about the boring but very real stuff that keeps Raguthra Studios running. Also Judas Priest. (public post)

One of the best things about being an indie game company is no one forces us to milk every dollar from our IP.
We’re releasing a re-built, re-worked, re-cursed version of our first ever game and anyone who has already bought it, or buys it pre-update gets the new one for free.
Working from home is a weird mix of “hyper-productive” and “where did the day go?”.
My focus hack isn’t timers or lists. It’s embarrassingly simple: get dressed and put on my shoes.
Shoes on = brain in work mode.
Anyone else have a strange little switch like that?

Putting on my shoes - the life hack I forgot: leesargent.micro.blog/2026/03/25/putting-on-my...
Spending a day learning to produce a simple four note 8bit melody for an easter egg that 94% people won't encounter in your game.
This is what indie game development is!

man, I could really do without the thousands of woman riding on a coin operated ride whilst two people look on AI memes.
I think I topped out at the 53rd one I've seen today on X
I think resumes and addressing selection criteria are painful enough without having to make up elaborate conceptual pieces to be a leader in your field

I deleted my LinkedIn this morning: leesargent.micro.blog/2026/03/19/i-deleted-my-...
Big heavy sigh, one of my old fillings fell out last night so I've got to go to the dentist next week - boooooooo
Maybe I give too much away on this?

This looks like so much fun!!!
I always enjoy it when I've got some basic quality of life bug that I just continue to put up with instead of fixing and then yeah it's a life before and after thing!
Glad the walls are sorted ;)
Also it is #followfriday so anyone who interacts with this thread gets themselves a follow :)

Morning devs. Yesterday’s progress was mostly “why doesn’t this obvious thing work” debugging: task notifications, floating icons, and a portrait field on a dialogue command.
Question: what’s the dumbest bug you’ve fixed recently that made you stare into the middle distance afterwards?
Today's #worksoundtrack is Iron Maiden's The Number of the Beast - I've been rediscovering Iron Maiden as I try and branch out from the core metal bands I've been listening to of late and happy I did.

Spent yesterday chasing a bug where a quest wouldn't activate no matter what I tried. Turns out the flag name had a trailing space in it. One invisible character. Fixed it in about three seconds once I found it. The other six hours were... less efficient.

This morning's job is to find a good location for this guy within the Howling Woods.

Today's dev task: manually placing hundreds of trees across the final map for The Curse of the Howling Woods: Re-Cursed Edition. Nobody warned me about this part of game dev.
Coming soon.

Get the word out!
Arthur is an optional companion item in The Curse of the Howling Woods "Recursed Edition" — and he wants you to know he is absolutely not happy about being an item.

This is what game characters look like before they become themselves - building out the base sprite sheet models using Hana Caraka as the starting point. Walking, spells, looking around. Once the costumes go on it'll make a lot more sense. #gamedev #pixelart
This game looks so happy!
