I wish I knew sooner that th life of a solo indie game was a brutal fight for survival. I would have become an accountant instead. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Wow thanks... and if you find something slightly odd in the game... i'm here😇

What I love most about gamedev?

Watching someone play my game.
Seeing where they struggle, what they get, what they love… or hate. It’s weirdly addictive.

If you try a small indie game, please share your thoughts with the dev. We really need that more than you think.

Blown - A heist gone wrong ttrpg by The Bit Bet The heist didn’t go as expected.

Couldn't resist to make a Breathless hack for the #BreathlessJam

If you like heists gone wrong, you may find an interesting one-shot experience (feedbacks welcomed). #ttrpg

I bring a sort of Forbidden Vibe to InternalServerError that Rate Limit Exceeded don't really like

trying to post through it rn

Painfully accurate. I feel personally attacked, but in the "yeah, that’s me" kind of way.

Don't look out by The Bit Bet Tuscany, 1970. It's night and you are not alone.

Well, I did a short horror games based on the infamous story of "The monster of Florence". Gameplay is 💩, sound is 💩💩💩, graphic is 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩,

I’ve hit another choke point: I can design slick game “prototypes” thanks to my web skills and experience, but the moment I open a game engine GUI, I want to throw up.
How should I approach this?

I am so happy that S[I]GNS helped created such an intricate experience.
(By the way... the bookmark is not so big in real life :) )

Needle, Throwel, Pan by The Bit Bet 3 unofficial classes for Flail

I just published something for the #flail jam...

Three classes. Slightly unhinged, definitely unbalanced, and in desperate need of professional feedback.
But heeeeey, at least they should be fun to play.

In my latest jam I was #6 for theme and #35 for graphic/sound etc… basically I am a creative genius with the it skills of a frog who licked itself #gamedev #indiedev #itchio

Terminal Intern by The Bit Bet You will get yelled at.

In my new puzzle game, just in time for Easter, you have to:
- find the suspicious object (how hard can it be)
- type its name correctly (i am a good speller... mostly)
- make a good impression on Chief Malone

Y'all won't be ready when I whip out the Japanese exclusive Pingu PS1 controller from 1999

Break > Rules by The Bit Bet Language is power. Cut wisely.

For #papercultanniversaryjam, my extremely unhinged (and borderline unplayable) #ttrpg that you have to cut from the page. thebitbet.itch.io/break-rules

Important lessons I learned the hard way after 3 months of game jams:
1) don’t even dare to be creative in any way.
2) polish is for losers
3) i am rating too high. Must reduce the stars.

Last lap by The Bit Bet You can't outrun an A.I.... But you can cheat.

Is there at least 1 thing you clearly should NOT do?
Guess what? LAST LAP got first place, so please,
DO NOT PLAY. You should NOT DO THAT.

Pollie's revenge by The Bit Bet Years of non-consensual flag-touching, one afternoon of stomping

So... for a roles reversed theme i created a platformer where you are the flagpole that won't condone abuse any longer!
After years of non-consensual flag touching, it's your tun to stom on the so-called "heroes"...

And with a shocking revelation...

A werewolf? We need a jeweler with experience in silver casting and the extremely useful jeweler’s tools.
I think would be a cool artificer subclass.

My latest game, the most intense 60 seconds you'll play this week: your drive is failing and you have 1 minute to save all on a small USB...
