Hi hi! I’m Robin, I love anything game, art or nature related, I will probably be be reposting a lot of random stuff with my own projects or posts sprinkled in :P

I use #godot for #gamedev and #aseprite for art, I’ve been loving the process of learning them both!

Hope you are all doing good <3

How are your ferns?

Are they healthy? Are they doing ok??

I’m concerned for your ferns wellbeing. Have you been providing them enough enrichment???

2 weeks into my first year studying game design at uni and I’m loving it.
We have to use Unreal so it’s been a hell of a learning curve switching over but exploring some of the tools it has to offer has been very fun.
Lecturers are amazing and I could listen to them talk for days.

The WORST thing about getting published by Devolver is that we had to get rid of this

Went to London with a friend to see Hades Town last week and ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! Incredibly dynamic with so many interesting set pieces and Hermes was amazing, the first photo isn’t mine but shows the same cast as the show I saw, drinks were also great! 12/10 would definitely recommend seeing it :D

EEEE, I’m so excited to begin playing this game. The main menu music is just <3333
I apologise to my sleep schedule for the horrors it’s about to witness.

The results are in! honestly did better than I thought i would!!! Audio being low was expected but I’m surprised that over a 1000 other games had worse audio than my game with no audio lol. This was a great experience and I can’t wait until next year! :D

I’ll do a little post jam overview here:

Ion Robin @ionrobin.bsky.social · Aug 4

And it’s done!! I’ve been set free from the dastardly clutches of the GMTK game jam!
Had an amazing time participating although my game is missing a lot of polish and features I set out to add at the beginning.
Go check it out! #gmtk2025 #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Halfway through the GMTK game jam!!
Things are not going as planned!

Is it really a game jam if you don’t say “what?! How have I only got this much done”
I’m happy with my progress so far though hopefully I keep this pace up :D

Good luck everyone! @gamemakerstoolkit.com #godot #gmtk2025 #gamejam
