Okay, be honest.
Who knew that in Unity you can stack load scenes?
"Additive scene loading"
Who knew this? Not this guy, and it's literally blowing my mind.

Asking for a friend. When you give yourself a break from working on your game project, how long of a break do you take?
And im talking about after completing a big milestone or finally figuring out that one bug that's been bothering you for weeks??
#gamedev #indiedev #mentalhealth
Same!! To make it easier on my my eyes, I'll use:
//-------------- variables
And whatever after that.
Here's a good question I just ran into! Sorry only if you're using Unity and C#. Working on a script, how do you divide sections of your script/ code? Do you use Regen & Endregen, or do you use the //------?

Free entertainment! Haha
Baby steps and just the fact of doing that helps you come up with better ideas!
To be honest, that's a rabbit hole. I can easily see myself falling into as well!
Heck yea!! What kind of small games?
When was the last time you sat down and made sure you were actually following your passion/goals? My good friend did that and is ready to take that step.
Go check him out!!

Do you ever have one of those nights where you plan on making progress on your game, and all you end up doing is moving some 3D models around. Like back and forth, not entirely sure where you want it?
#gamedev #indiedev
Yes yes yes yes 100%%
The game of all games that got me into the rpg world!!
Happy New Year to everyone, I know I've been silent. Just got back from a 2 week vacation with the wife and am now currently in a GameJam,
itch.io/jam/gdko-2025-round-1
I'll show some progress for this round when I learn how to post a clip!

Okay, honestly that's bad ass you were able to reduce the price by $250!!
Love it when you're trying to work on your enemy throwing candy canes at the main player and end up creating a machine gun of candy canes!

Grandia 2!
If you couldn't tell by my profile pic!!
Here is a good question for the early morning! When playing any game and looking for an item. How obvious would you want the item to stand out? Should it be highlighted as soon as you step into the room or as you get closer?
#gamedev #indiedev
Most games with fun features have been accidental bugs!
I hope it won't take me 6 years to just make a simple horror game! But also I won't be showing all the good bits during the development!
I agree 100%. Why hype such a cool game and bam you just get 1/4 of that game??
And exactly that, I'll just be giving updates and showing what I'm working on at the moment.
Keep seeing people say that you shouldn't wait till your game is finished to advertise your game. So, it looks like I'm going to try and start posting more about the current game I'm working on!

play a cool videogame today
I would say after a good session of trying to get a game mechanic to work....
23 hours?
You are not alone if you spent weeks trying to get a game mechanic to work.
And once you finally get it working, you see how you could do it better and have to fight the urge to not refactor.
#gamedev #indiedev
I am looking forward to seeing the development!!!
Such a bad ass feeling when you finally get a game mechanic working after you have been trying to get it to work after a week.
...And then immediately want to add polish and ignore building the actual game!
#gamedev #indiedev #solodev
What game mechanic are you currently working on?
I'm currently working on a door/ key system and having it work with my interaction script.
#gamedev #indiedev
No worries, hope things get better soon, my man!!
Who else has fallen asleep at the keyboard working on some game bugs late at night..
like last night...
not this guy....
#gamedev #indiedev
If you don't mind, what engine were you using, and which one did you switch to?
