Solo Deving doesn't mean you can't use and adapt the wide variety of Creative Commons asset packs, sound libraries, etc, to save time and effort. Just be sure to give credit and thanks to the OG creators #gamedev #indiegamedev #sologamedev

Idk why I decided in spell of good idea fairy to add midi support to my game instead of just blasting a .wav like everyone else. I just thought it would be funny if when you use auto shoot it plays like chip tune fur Elise #gamedev #indiegedev

Just now learning about it inochi2D and I can tell it's going to have a gravitational affect while I pause my current stuff and get sucked into that

Pixel art pro tip no one asked for: Shield sprites from RPG asset packs makes for wonderful top down UFOs. I wonder how many other assets can be similarly repurposed for different genres? #gamedev #indiegamedev #pixelart

In a fast action style game, would you prefer in game upgrades to happen semi-automatically or in like a store with expendable points before a new level starts? #Indiegamedev #gamedev #gamedesign

There's so many cool things to learn in #gamedev it can seem overwhelming but I think that's part of the appeal. Just take a deep breath and dive in, don't compare your journey to others ,and you'll come out the other side with great experience and skills

github is great, but if all you are after is version control you can just use `git` without github at all. Obviously, this negates the backup bonus that github makes easy, but there are other ways to compensate for that as well.

Are there any decent #gamedev community discord servers? I like working solo but need some encouragement and inspiration along the way. #indiegamedev #discord

This doesn't exactly match the top-down style of my WIP game, but I did enjoy it as one of my first attempts at making my own #PixelArt #animation #GameDev #indieGameDev #UFO

AI assisted vibe coding: only if you dare
AI assisted art creation: hell no
AI generated music: not while I have a pulse

Possibly changing tactics with the onrails shooter, couldn't get it to work right with love2D. I understand all of them used 3D chips/engines but I thought with clever enough parallax it could work. At best it adds some nice atmosphere right now. /shurg #struggle #gamedev
