@dadmadethings.com at GDC 2026!

#JetBrainsForGameDev

I’m so tired of hearing AI at GDC…

I’ll be at the GameMaker one. I noticed Godot didn’t have one and was pretty bummed.

At our current download rate, To The Trenches should hit 1 million total downloads while I'm at GDC! 🏆🥳

#indieDev #GameDev #iosGaming #androidGaming #GDC2026

Would be cool to see you there! This will be my first time going

Every now and then I think about the possibility of expanding To The Trenches to other platforms.
Yeah there's Steam and Itch, but one that has recently caught my attention is @gx.games

🤔

It's been a while since I last posted. It's only because the @dadmadethings.com team and I have been VERY busy working on Update 1.7 and our 🎃 2nd Halloween Event 🎃 for #ToTheTrenches!

Here's a little photo dump of what's to come.

The team has really outdone themselves with this update. To The Trenches looks incredible with the enhanced Lighting and FX system. The new achievement system and career room lets players earn and showoff their accolades! 🎖️

Can't wait to see to see what people share!

#indieDev #gameDev #GameMaker

I’d love that so much! Let us know when you do and I’ll be there!

If I wasn’t so consumed with development, I would have flown in from the USA and experienced the event!

Would have been an opportune time to show you guys the Debug app firsthand! 📱

I’m hoping I can soon start getting out more to meet awesome members of the #indieDev community.

Have fun! 🎮🎉

Some incredible progress made to our lighting system in To The Trenches.

@foxyofjungle.bsky.social has been a valuable resource and everyone at @dadmadethings.com appreciates all that he has done for our game.

First thing I had to do was load Debug++ onto my @debugmag.com mobile app prototype.

Can't wait to kick back, relax and read through all of the new content!

#indieDev #mobileDev @flutter.dev

The community engagement, consistent drive for innovation and the willingness to explore new avenues is what makes @debugmag.com such a great addition to fun and informative content in the Indie Games space.

I have already subscribed (which is free!!!) and downloaded my Debug++ copy! 📖🎮🤓

Here's a working gif of the Drag-n-Drop system I posted about yesterday.

#indieDev #gameDev

Hm… not sure why the gif isn’t working… I’ll have to post a video I guess

Replaced the spawner buttons with a Drag-n-Drop system. Was able to remove 5 objects with a much more maintainable and interactive process.

#gameDev #indieDev #GameMaker

I’m so excited for this!

Entries officially close in 24 hours.

We’d love to keep this open for longer, but we’re print media and that means allowing time for printing.

Catch Debug #11 on 28 July!

Have been using GameMaker for the last 5 years.

Last year I started playing with Godot and have made some promising prototypes.

My next production title will be with GameMaker again, but I hope to release a Godot title in the near future!

You should! Such a great way for people to show off their amazing work!

✅ This Saturday is officially awesome!

Thanks!

Here’s a few screenshots of my game, To The Trenches.

Made a first iteration mana + mana regen system. Now units cost per summon as well.

I only had 30 minutes to work on this today, so it ain’t much, but it’s an honest feature 😅
