After years of work, I'm very proud to release my debut game "Super Space Arcade" to the public today. It's a short loveletter to simpler times, as I remember them. I hope it brings you joy. #gamedev #indiegamedev #madewithunity
I've sold just 31 copies of my game as of today, which doesn't warrant expanding to mobile platforms, BUT at the same time I want the experience and I also want to have my game with me on my phone everywhere, just to show people. So I'm doing that. #gamedev #indiedev

v0.8.49 "A penguin and an apple walk into a bar" adds #Linux 🐧 and #MacOS 🍏 support, so there are really no excuses anymore. Like, none. Buy it now on Steam or Itch ➡️  worgames.com/games/super...

I'll make a proper post on it on the official Worgames account tomorrow, but let it be said today: Super Space Arcade is available on Steam now for Mac and Linux too. May my quest to bring it to every platform continue next week. Good night.

Figuring out how to create a code-signed, notarized MacOS version of my game to publish through #steamworks on a testing branch as an additional depot on the existing CD Key package. #gamedev #indiedev

Think I got to integrate Blockbench 5 into my workflow, could look great with my current voxel stuff, adding a bit more fidelity. Video by gamefromscratch.bsky.social #gamedev #voxel #indiedev

Yesterday I've played around with a couple of different ideas for track generation in Super Space Arcade, but I realized what a big gamble it is to make these architectural changes to a released game. Perhaps better left for a sequel. Still enough other areas to polish. #gamedev #indiedev

Lesson learned (again): When getting a pooled object in Unity, set the position and rotation *before* setting it active. The lifecycle methods and the physics engine might otherwise interfere, even when it looks like you have a clear path in your code from A to B. #unity #gamdev

After my debut game "Super Space Arcade" took way to long to release, I've been thinking to do what most gamedevs recommend, to make small games, and fast(-ish). I'm planning for a seasonal release cycle. #gamedev

So I have an object pool with a maximum of objects to keep available. If I request more objects from the pool then are available, I just instantiate them regularly and on return to the pool I destroy them. Is this a good pattern? #gamedev

I've been using Handbrake to compress my videos for a while and always struggled to do 540p video for socials small enough. Now there seems to be a (new?) preset that compresses my video to about HALF the size it used to. Where have you been all my life?

Despite the Steam Deck unverified status, "Super Space Arcade" runs great on the #Steamdeck and has been thoroughly tested on it. The game was built with handheld gaming in mind.

While reviews from strangers can be quite a gut punch, I guess they are also the most honest ones. I got my homework. #gamedev

I'm releasing "Super Space Arcade" tomorrow! I made everything myself, except the music. So if you want to hurt my feelings, just say you like the music best! 💔 🤜 😵

#Steam really beats my Library and Store assets to mush with it's compression. Have to fight back with Curves, High-Pass filter and Saturation increase. The exported images look like shit, but when mangled by the comp algorithm they look fine again. 🤷‍♂️ #gamedev

Releasing my indie game a day before #Silksong would be absolute madness - so I'm releasing mine two days before.
