ps. fun side effect of parenting: my son made me draw so many lightning bolts that it actually helped with this

been working on elemental punch power-ups for jackstrap

the type system is loosely pokemon-inspired, so im testing things like fire, rock, electric, water, poison, dark, nature, and mecha

very rough for now, but its already making the combat feel way more distinct

Just another gameplay video after doing lots of under-the-hood stuff. #jackstrap #gamedev #indiegames

Seriously ? WTF!
immediate opt out, but this should obviously be opt-in. shame on microsoft and github

I've been keeping proof that all my art is human based, just in case some wise ass decides to show up and accuse me of something in the future.
...this fucking timeline.

People keep asking what’s to like about #Godot. For me:

- free + FOSS
- approachable
- GDScript (♥ pythonic code)
- lightweight and fast
- clean UI (IMO)
- great community
- underrated UI building tools
- runs on potato computers
- OOP and composition friendly

Anyone remember Bryce3D?!

Dammit, I just lost about 2h of work- out of nowhere.

I don't know how... But I just overwrote about 10 frames of animation.

The second time around was faster than the original, obviously, and the result was actually better, but still stings a bit.

I can't be the only one who finds ergo chairs fuckin' ugly- especially the Herman Millers.
I bought a `Steelcase Series 2` years ago. Same ergonomic value as an Aeron chair, except it doesn't look like a conference-room-exoskeleton with lumbar support. #chairs #gamedev #indiegames

he also made that "trap" on the bottom to bite the enemies.

Last week, I made this walled house with my 5-year-old to show him how to make games. He wanted a home where baddies won't hurt Jack.
Now I use it all the time to debug- its my safe place. 🏠️

Cool games. What other countries had booths?

I'm actually interested in the stand. What games did they showcase from España?

"Chocolatine."

Gotcha. And what % would you think is fair for using their platform?

And then comes the taxman.
What do you think would be a fair amount?

What worries me the most about making my first game isn't;
the code, the art, making content, marketing it, play testing it...

It's making it fun. I just don't know if my game will be fun for others.

show us a picture of the collection you've got there, champ

This is what I used to have, but I switched to the Google sheet because it helped me organize stuff a bit better.

In that case, you should really start starting some of those game ideas.

Hey! Are you me?

I have an excel sheet, but I'm thinking of moving to a miro-type board for more visual inspiration.

Gamedevs: how do you handle and maintain your GAMES-IDEAS-list? I can't be the only one to have a humongous list of potential game projects, right? right? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #solodev

dammit, just noticed my typo- bad enough I used romaji because I forgot my hiragana, but also autocorrect messes up
