Mini-thread: Things indie dev life teaches you
• Patience
• Self-trust
• How to sit with uncertainty
Not lessons you learn overnight

Weekly reflection
Less rushing
More intention
Better results
Slow is not the enemy
Unfocused is
#indiejourney
Another two weeks complete
No shortcuts
No hacks
Just steady building and honest work
This is the pace I can sustain

Year 1: "I'll build the next unicorn." Year 3: "I'll solve one real problem." The best businesses start with dropped expectations and raised standards. #IndieJourney #StartupLife #RealProblems
From idea to App Store: the journey teaches you more than the destination. Money Map and UV Buddy weren't just apps—they were masterclasses in persistence, problem-solving, and shipping despite fear. #BuildInPublic #IndieJourney #AppLaunch
Was having issues with name and health/mana bars stacking with different camera angles. I ultimately just put them all in their own viewport and it "seems" to be working better. At least they're on in the same billboard now!

Took a break from the spell system a bit and spent a little bit of time in some UI elements. I'm not super great with the Godot control nodes (yet) so it was a little bit of learning.

Been working on the spell system a bit this last couple of weeks and then spent some time getting some objects created to manage classes. It does allow multiclassing already!😀

It’s easy to forget why you started, but each line of code, each piece of art, reconnects me to the original spark, making games is personal #GameDevLife #IndieJourney
A quiet look at what we’re building at Funflower 🌻
Just a moment. A quiet place.
It’s still early — but this is the kind of world we want to build now.
Let’s see where this road takes us. 🚐🌲

It’s been a bit! The solo RPG / multiboxing game is on hold (for now). Still love the idea, but something new is brewing. Building a small team with big ideas. Sharing a very early peek—more as time goes on...

We’re working hard behind the scenes to bring controller support to the demo! 🎮 Soon you’ll be able to play and explore with your favorite gamepad — stay tuned for the update drop! 👀

Progress isn’t always obvious. You might feel stuck, but every project, every mistake, and every lesson are making you better. Growth happens in the background.

We didn’t wait for polished assets to convey the feel of Project Nightmare. Early concept art and mockups gave publishers a sense of our game’s tone, which worked. Visuals can create an immediate impact, even in the early stages. #GameArt #PitchDeckTips #IndieJourney
