I think I've hit the point in game development where I'm having fun making custom collision masks. I'm assuming this is a canon event for becoming a game dev? #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #babydev

I'm tempted to ditch the spawner and just have enemies spawn in when the trigger is activated. Like it just creates the enemy objects instead of using an actual spawner. No matter what I do I can't get the spawner to stop spawning enemies. So that's a small problem. #gamedev #indiedev #babydev

Decided to jump back into GDevelop. One of the games I was prototyping actually works perfectly for the small game I want to make. Just worked out the speed to get away from enemies. Sticking with top down controls. I think this can work. #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #babydev

Taking things slow instead of rushing into things this time. I'm looking into how to animate 2D in Blender. Tempted to try it for premade 2D sprites. It could potentially save me some time #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #babydev

I will admit, while I'm using GDevelop, I definitely need to make one of my goals this year to remember to split my events into groups instead of just setting events up in random order. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #babydev

Starting things jumping back into the main tester I put together in GDevelop to try things out. I'm teaching myself how to get bullets to work, especially when it comes to enemies. #gamedev #indiedev #babydev #solodev

Things I'm aiming for with game making:
-Making games I'd enjoy playing
-Making games I can play without killing my computer
-Doing something I've always wanted to do, which is making a game
...but mostly the second point

Okay, I figured out the problem with the counter adding another counter with a new number next to the og counter when an item is collected. I had to swap it to "set to" not "add". Now the counter works. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #babydev

I finally figured out how tp get the texture to show up! Yes! #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #babydev

The original box plan didn't work for the building. Time to tackle some modeling instead I guess. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #babydev

I still haven't figured out how to fix the down key from endlessly spinning the camera, so I think I'm done trying to save that. Meanwhile, I have tried the first person camera on its own and somehow it's always upside down...so that's fun. 🙃😅 #gdevelop #gamedev #indiedev #babydev #solodev

I attempted to make something in Blender. Couldn't get the the texture painter to work, but the fact that I made a thing is a big deal for me. I out the walls I already made over it for now. #indiedev #babydev #gamedev

Tip Jar by Tiny Tabby Games Leave a tip and get a pritnable poster as my way of saying

While I do have tips enabled on my twitter profile, I do also have a makeshift tip jar over on my itchio that comes with a printable poster I drew up as a way to say thank you. It's something I added while I work on my games. #gamedev #indiedev #babydev

Off to a great start...and by great I mean "none of the collisions for the trees are working so I guess we're just gonna have to deal with being able to walk through trees...and for some reason one box is now completely black...what is even happening?" #babydev #indiedev #gamedev #gdevelop

I fixed it! The third person ppv has been saved! Also, talk about a throwback to the og design for my player charater from the 2D platformer I've been working on. #gamedev #solodev #babydev

Today's theme for me seems to be breaking the camera. So...that's fun #gamedev #solodev #babydev

Well...I tried a different fix and I think it's safe to say that didn't go as planned. 🙃 #gamedev #solodev #babydev #games #gdevelop

This wasn't the plan, but I guess I unintentionally found another way to do furst person pov without using the first person camera 😉🙃 #gamedev #babydev #solodev #games #gaming

Okay, so I figured out the solution to the character not falling into the ground and walking through it...but now the camera is broken. If it's not one thing, it's something else. I'll figure it out, it's just a lot of winging it and trusting something will work out. #gamedev #solodev #babydev

I swapped my default tester sprite for the player character with another sprite I made a while ago for something that never panned out...and now the player falls into the floor. Not through the floor, but now it's moving through the floor. So that's a problem now🙃 #gamedev #solodev #babydev

Meanwhile, I also need to see if I can fix this and stop if from happening when I get near a wall. 😅 #gamedev #babydev #solodev #gamedevelopment #GDevelop

Yesterday I was talking about the game with a programmer friend and he told me " Why are you not using a piecewise affine function ?!"

That's the worse thing with not being good at math, sometimes you loose time trying to reinvent something that already exist 😅

I had a blast with the first "Rogue learns UE5 stream!" JD and a couple extremely patient and helpful chatters taught me a bunch of stuff!
Apparently messing with colliders *wasn't* the simplest place to start as a beginner. 😆
Now I know!

My first real go at this! Still needs a little tweaking and added functionality but it’s only week 3 of my class!

#flutter #dart #appDevelopment #newbie #babyDev

Let’s say I get all my zines and product printed on my own. Then how do I sell it? How do I find exhibitors that will carry it at cons? What’s that step? #babydev
