Steam Frame, finally the VR gaming trend can grow faster! 2 years before the Steam Deck came out, I said that Valve would release a portable console, I said it more than once. My game dev colleagues in the office didn't believe it and laughed at this prediction.

Yes, I'm currently doing sound design 🔊, so get ready to hear my various experiments. Glitches and sparks, electricity and energy, technology and space, it's all be in my Sci-Fi game, so it all needs to be created. I love Unreal Engine and MetaSound

When I see in the description that those who have a lot of money and are connected to AI talk about video games, advertise these games, my paranoia tells me - you shouldn't play them or even launch them, because this is neurolinguistic programming of the people they need

I try to read this book every day, at least 1 chapter. The fact that this book was written a little less than 20 years ago, the information is still relevant today. It is like a foundation for a game designer. I recommend it to all indie developers

My plans - start making sound design for the demo. So everything you see this week will be from the past. This was the first gameplay of cleaning, the dirt texture is not a decal, after 6 months I redid it for the cleaning robot and decals #UnrealEngine #indiedev #gamedev

Sometimes I am asked by game devs I know: if I know anyone who needs now a 3D artist, programmer, or sound designer. When I tell them: are you use the "ingamejob", most of them say that they already use it. But it is a surprise to everyone that this site was created by Ukrainians #gamedev #indiedev

Game design, such as the sequence of actions in the environment between objects after the player's actions, can be seen and found anywhere. My son loves Gravitrax, he's a fan. Today I realized that my game has some similar actions and visual design. #gamedev is everywhere

I decided it was time to write in more detail about my pipeline or action plan that I am trying to follow in this project. If you're an indie game developer, you might be interested in this

What is my indie-game-dev pipeline and where am I now?
Planning is cool! I love planning, but it has never been that everything goes perfectly. A previous project taught me that I need to change…

Electricity is on schedule, I decided to stay awake, so I ate jam, drank tea and worked with Unreal Engine. I made the final text for Terminal, now collecting screenshots and videos that I made before (hundreds) for the Steam page. This week is the chosen one, the time has come.

I want separate applications that perform some functions inside Unreal Engine. For example, app editor that will allow me to create MetaSound without running Unreal Engine. What do you see besides Meta Sound?

I found what I needed to read, an old #book (~18 years) that I consider to be the Holy Grail and something that every human from #gamedev should definitely read. I don't understand why it hasn't been republished and isn't available in e-book format. Emergence in Games, by Penny Sweetser

I used to collect books about game development, it was 2012. Today I remembered it, found old HDD and in the folder there are 14GB of books on the topic of game development. I wish I hadn't found them, because now I want to reread them all, or skim through them, even the ones I don't need to know

And here's what my 11-year-old son does when there's no electricity. He experiments with Lego Mindstorms and various additional kits that are not related to Lego, but are compatible, today with pneumatics

Due to the night attack of evil, we have no electricity all day. Therefore, Unreal Engine is postponed, I'm writing texts for the game. I had an idea that - I won't say, but it's a combination of this and ⤵️

New model unlocked! 🔮 Just finished this sci-fi sphere-capacitor. Glowing core, intricate tech, and ready to store some serious energy for the game. What should we power with it?

Friday's Unreal Engine for me was about doors. Do you like doors in games? Do you like the band The Doors? I listened to their songs a little to get inspired and then I created Niagara, now the doors open epically, more Sci-Fi #UnrealEngine #gamedev #indiedev #UE5

From my past. A big game about the Moon, which I started making in 2014 but froze forever. The idea was born at the 2013. I still have a lot of material (game design document, hundred concept arts) and a memories. I will write about it sometimes, and I hope that it will inspire not only me again

It's been a while since I wrote so many thoughts, but the time has come to think about one important question: Does a gamer want to read your game devlog on Steam? Don't forget that I'm a sick introvert, an indie developer who has seen a lot.

Hello sci-fi lovers, hello programs, hello gamers... There will be something in this place that absorbs energy, it will suck your spirit, robot, so be careful. But it is not evil, it is technology that gives energy.
