Most devs treat git history like a dump file.
Branches named "stuff". Commits that say "fix". No one knows what changed or why.
Here's the workflow I actually use: three branch levels, commit prefixes, and solo PRs. Yes, solo PRs. They work.

Missed the #gameJam deadline. Got the flu, then pneumonia.
I made the game anyways. And I think it's pretty good!
Post mortem is up. brainfart.studio/bigmode-game...

Old games just tried stuff, man. We act like game design's got these tested solidified formulas, then some random 80s game slaps you in the face to remind you that there's so much still left to explore.
Thank you!
Art upgrade in progress! I spent the last few days adding a ton of visual variety to the ground. You're looking at three new tilesets with four variants each. All randomized to stop that "copied-and-pasted" feeling. Huge step for the overall vibe.

Another brain studio!? I gotta follow. Plus your games just look beautiful!
Finally working on the art for this star system #gamedev
This looks so beautiful. Not at home, but wishlisting tonight!
Follow it up with like a “remake your first game” jam!
Holy moly. For as much as I've been putting off artwork, it starting to feel really cool now that I'm doing it.

5+ years as both a game dev and a YouTuber. Some really cool videos out there. Go check him out!
#gameJam #indieDev #gameDev
Do it anyways! You can (surprisingly) do quite well even with programmer art. A touch of color theory and a little post processing. Worked for games like Thomas Was Alone. You got this!
(My previous jam entry with programmer art.)
Less than 3 months until the greatest #gameDev tournament of the year. Get ready game devs!

For today's #ScreenshotSaturday I want to show the dynamic environment that I've been working on lately for the rooms that contain laser puzzles.
#Godot 's global shader parameters came in handy to manage the tiles palette.
#SoloDev #GameDev
My very first game ever was laser based. And I’ve been considering remaking it with what I know now.
This is beautiful and is inspiring me to actually pick that back up in the future. Nice work!
Added!
Finally got this feather working! With that basically all feathers are now in the game in a functional state! hoping to do beta testing soon! 🤞

This looks absolutely gorgeous. Gotta keep my eye on this one.
Another laser dev? You have my attention…
