Technical Designer, will try to keep this about personal dev stuff. Obviously all opinions are my own…
More #Fortnite #UEFN stuff.

Epics push to give new content (Maps and major updates) a chance in their discovery queue is pretty great. I do question if they use their knowlege of players to focus maps when pushing? NSP got roughly 320k impressions and wonder how many of those were useful?

I should probably change my 1 month in #UEFN challenge to 1 year in #uefn challenge

Also, while I am here.

I got nominated and now a finalist for an award! Crazy right?

Super cool to say that I am a finalist in the Rising Star catagory for the 2025 #GameDevHeros awards! If you are at #Develop this year say hello to me!
May 25, 2025 at 6:40 PM
So I have been away for nearly 4 months. That month in #uefn challange I was doing? Well I finished it today!

Check out my first proper release. An extraction/roguelike game called No Safe Passage. Check it out here 6498-0432-3945

Enjoy this trailer (it's bad, if you can make one better, msg me!)

As I am on the home stretch of my #uefn month challenge, I want to shout out Fortnite creators who wake up every day to their extremely creative and inventive islands that get little plays while looking at yet another "*InsertGun* ONLY! ONE SHOT" map get 50k concurrent.

More of a real post than my normal antics.

I am finding the current state of creative ultra depressing. From creators utlising drama/rage culure to push their own agendas to the reliance of working within an evershifting algo to gain any hope of survivablity. It's not good for the mind. Carry on

Just over a week since I opened up #UEFN and started to learn. I am both floored by the ability for rapid creation that UEFN allows and also baffled by some of the restrictions of Verse.

If you wanna try what I made in a week grab some friends and play 0346-4187-5468. #fortnite #gamedev #indiegame

So I’ve taken a week out of my personal dev stuff to try out UEFN and make something. I am not sure if I have been truly humbled or the platform is super unbaked. Very impressed with some of the people doing large projects on it!

This be a niche reference but personally I like to think that Chef Carl Casper wouldn't have gotten so angry if he was using bluesky.

Today is the deadline I set for myself for releasing a demo of my game. I'm happy to say...that I am absolutely no where near that milestone but I have learnt a lot along the way.

I can't wait to come up with a new milestone and miss that one too #gamedev

Complete non #gamedev related. Someone convince me not to buy the Mariah Carey skin on Fornite and become the utter #fortnite troll and do the orange justice dance after every kill?

oh yeah... Use my creator code IanJames63 on epic

Happy New Years Eve to everyone who today is a crunch day to finish all the projects you said you would finish in 2024 #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegames

First time watching Home Alone 2.

Dust off your projects day 7: For my last day, here is the example 3D platformer I made for a course I taught. Birb the Bird.

For the last day of Dust Off Your Projects, who wants to share one of their abandoned/finished projects?? #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame

Dust off your projects day 6: Bit of a strange one but this was a little experiment into attempting to create a small window game. Like a mixture of an idle game and a Tamagotchi. It would also play YouTube livestreams through an in game radio while your guy fishes

Here are a couple of stills from a game I made for a 48h jam
You play as an ageing vampire and needs blood almost constantly to stay alive. Fortunately, you're also being pursued by many peasants who are more than happy to donate to a good cause

Dust off your projects day 4: Another gamejam. 8 hour game jam :Luna Eats, mashup of Crazy Taxi, Race'N'Chase , and delivery apps such as Deliveroo.

Shout out to @atomic-arc.com for dusting off a project yesterday! Anyone want to share today?! #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegames

Coming in a little late to this...

Here is a WIP for a card game I was making. There were 4 keys you fought for control of (4 cols). At the end of the round you held the correct key and were strong enough, you would break through a door in the center. Get past all 4 and you win

Dust Off Your Projects Day 3: made for a gamejam. Think of Tetris, Space Invaders, and Missile Command! (with the real-life fear of ocean pollution) A project I was rather proud of doing solo over 5 days.

Anyone want to share a project of their own for day 3? #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegames

Dust Of Your Projects Day 2: The Pokémon project that got me d*ath threats

Made a pokémon remake in 30 days for a satirical video. Went better than actually expected but still really a prototype. Maybe one day I'll do something with this concept!

Does anyone want to share theirs today? #gamedev
December 19, 2024 at 10:04 AM
With 7 days til Christmas, I want to start a #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame trend where you dust off a project and show it off!
