#ADHDev tip of the day:

If you’re having trouble keeping your train of thought, try playing a small bunch of songs on repeat. Ive found it’s better if the songs have limited lyrics.

#ADHDev tip of the day!

When you have an idea for your project, you have two choices:

1. Act on it IMMEDIATELY.

Or

2. Write down as much detail as possible and set an alarm to come back to later.

Here’s why that’s so important as a #gamedev with #adhd:

Gamedev Tip of The Day:

Weaponize your #ADHD. You can have hours and hours of productivity if you learn to ride the wave of your attention span. Everyone is different, but if you plan your caffeine, meals and work time appropriately, it can be a HUGE boon

Trying to be graceful to myself today. I got some writing and world building done for a new project, in spite of my hours long anxiety episode.

#gamedev #indiedev #ADHDev #anxiety #mentalhealth

the 'me explaining to my mom' meme, with the left panel(the explainer) labeled "People telling me to F***ing rest for once" and the right panel("the mom") labeled "Me wondering what Brachyr thing to do next"

The grind never stops

The great thing about #ADHD is whenever you return to a project you’ve gotten frustrated with, you magically know the answers to all the problems you couldn’t solve before

Daily #indiedev update:

Did some practice with generic animation techniques and brainstormed ideas for new games.

As a result I now have like 3 different #lewd #gameideas

A streaker #stealthgame

A #supermariobros clone

And an #amongus clone

Love #ADHDev life

Daily #indiedev update:

I spent today doing self care. Went to therapy, got some retail therapy, and just spent the day doing what I wanted to do. Because #selfcare is #productivity

I’m these wild and crazy times, remember to keep being creative. The #gamedev community plays an important roll providing escapes from the horrors of daily life, we must continue on.

Early #indiedev update:

First person stuff in #gamemaker is difficult and terrible, that’s the update lol

I’m gonna look at it again later but I’m having issues with spawning things after the level has been generated.

I’m so tired, why must I sleep? Why is it necessary? Why can’t I keep downing Monsters and Doritos and go into a furious creative spell?

A Github activity screen. showing a lot of stuff happening in june-july, then largely empty, untill last week, when it picked up again.

nice and shiny new buttons. not perfect. but better than the default ones that were there. that's for sure

After a bit of a hiatus because of #life, currently back to being productive. Built a big piece of the back-end last week, and on the more visual side, added buttons. finally! My first non- @kenney.bsky.social visuals. very proud.

Daily #indiedev update:
I worked on UI art today, and got a pretty nice image of the mine scanner and mouse blaster for FPS Minesweeper. Gonna get them put into the game tomorrow, but here’s an early look.

Since #gamedev is a discipline that requires constant focus, it poses a natural challenge for those of us with #adhd. How do all of y’all navigate this and leverage your brain’s patterns? #ADHDev

A prrfect post to use the #ADHDev tag :D

Yes, oh gods, yes! I'm done.
I'm done with my announcement trailer.
40 seconds. Two weeks of work (most of it procrastinating, of course! #ADHDev), and it's ready.

I'm no @derek-lieu.com, but at least I did everything myself, and now it's time for a glass of alcohol-free wine.

Made some levels for the trailer today.

Also: fixed a bug in core mechanic, adjusted color palette, reworked level startup animation, changed one of the sound effects, and probably 99 other little things THAT WOULD HAVE HAD minimum if any impact on the trailer, and I could do them later.

🤷 #ADHDev

My plans today? Just your usual #ADHDev sunday:

1. Realize there's a thousand chores to do at home
2. Instead plan work on 10 amazing side projects
3. Do none of these things
4. Wonder why the the laundry is still not done

Folks, this #ADHDev reaaaally needs to get their meds straight.

How long did it take for you to find your perfect mix?

These days I get into this meta-state where I'm aware that my current volatile interest is ADHD-induced but instead of panicking, I just accept that for the next 2 hours I'll be learning how game audio engines compute realistic yet playable sound decay.

I'm happier.
