I freely admit that this is an ugly mess. But it is also the very first step in prototyping a new way of interacting with plants in my #indiegame #shorticulture. Hopefully this will come together over the next few days and I will share something more meaningful. #indiedev #godotengine
I have been experimenting with using synplant 2 as a #sounddesign tool for my #indiegame. It is capable of making the kind of organic otherworldly sounds I need. Also the plant vibe kinda fits with #shorticulture. #indiedev #solodev
I will be getting up very early tomorrow and heading down to Brighton for develop. If you wanna say hi, I'm always happy to meet a fellow #indiedev or just anyone enthusiastic about stuff. Will have my #steamdeck so happy to demo my #indiegame #shorticulture to anyone. Just look out for this hat!
#cambridgegamemakers meet-up tonight!! They are a welcoming and inspiring group of people. If you are a #indiedev in the Cambridge area then why not come along to the Blue Moon this evening and meet us all. I will of course be demoing my #indiegame #shorticulture to anyone who is interested 😁
Whenever I show #shorticulture to another #indiedev I almost always get asked - #Unity or #Unreal? Is it wrong that I feel quite so smug when I reply #godot actually. #godotengine #madeingodot #indiegame
In all honesty this film is not very good 😆 But the idea of domed gardens in space with robots tending them really struck a chord with me and has been a theme I have used in a few projects over the last few years. #silentrunning #scifi #robots #gardens #shorticulture
In the run-up to #norwichgamesfestival I found some bugs that were only on the #steamdeck. Best way to debug them? Run the #godotengine on the deck. It makes a great little dev machine in desktop mode. #indiedev #indiegame #shorticulture.
My protagonist Sp1k-E speaks in a series of bleeps, blurps and burbles Their intentions are (hopefully) made clear by a series of pictograms displayed in speech bubbles. I have been working on making these clearer and (again hopefully) a little nice looking. #indiedev #indiegame #shorticulture
Sp1k-E has an upgrade to their scanner. Now it locks onto the closest track and follows it. This makes it much easier to see what happens with circuits below the surface. Next step, come up with a nice UI to enable switching tracks. #inidedev #indiegame #shorticulture
Happy #wishlistwednesday everyone! Please checkout my upcoming game #shorticulture. And if you want to show your support, a follow or a wishlist goes a long way! Thanks for watching! #indiegame #indiedev #godot #shorticulture
Thanks for the space Beni!!
I got a Sci-Fi gardening adventure for you - #shorticulture!

#wishlistwednesday #indiegame #godotengine
In #godot there is a "disable stdout" option in amongst the "run" settings. If an #indiedev were to inadvertently check that without realising it was there, it would cause them hours of frustration. Ask me how I know 🤣 #indiegame #shorticulture #godotengine
I've been wanting to try this for a while, #shorticulture on #ios. No touch UI yet (using a Bluetooth controller) and the framerate isn't amazing. But I'd say it's playable. #indiegame #indiedev #godotengine
#norwichgamesfestival was a very positive experience. Great feeling seeing joy and excitement as gamers faces as they explored the world of #shorticulture. Shout out to @noba.games
@arganoid.com @rubberduckysnacks.bsky.social @huntersmoongames.bsky.social and all other cool indies who were there too
#norwichgamesfestival today! I can do no more on the demo. Gear is all packed up ready to go. Will hopefully be setting up in a few hours. #indiedev #indiegame #godotengine #shorticulture
I will be at the #norwichgamesfestival tomorrow!! One more day of frantic hacking - err, I mean polishing and refinement to go. I am quite pleased with the way #shorticulture is coming together, but as always, there is more to do that time to do it in. #indiegame #indiedev #godot
2 days until #norwichgamesfestival!! I am refining the "pruning" mechanic where plants can be trimmed to reduce their energy output. It's all about balance. #inidedev #indiegame #shorticulture #godotengine
3 day to go until #norwichgamesfestival. I have been intending to add a menu screen for some time. Now it's finally there. #indiedev #indiegame #godotengine #shorticulture
4 days to #NGF25 and counting. Sp1k-E's scanner often comes in handy. Sometimes there is more going on than you can see on the surface. #indiegame #shorticulture #GodotEngine #NorwichGamesFestival
#norwichgamesfestival. This scene is all about environmental storytelling. How many escape pods launched? What was the fate of the ship? #shorticulture #indiegame #madewithgodot
I am designing some more plants for #shorticulture ahead of #ngf25 (6 days to go) and looked to my own garden for inspiration. The new throngs about to unfurl on this fern tree are perfect! #indiedev #indiegame
So the print stuff for #ngf25 turned up today. The flyers look OK but the posters are a mess 😭 Checked the PDF and of course, it was my fault entirely😭 Just about time for another shot 🤞 #norwichgamesfestival #shorticulture
