More menu stuff, now with animations. @kenney.bsky.social assets makes getting UI in place extremely easy. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

You'll never play fewer video games than when you are working on video games

This year's Summer Games Fest presentation was really concerned with how few people made a lot of those games, huh?

It feels kinda fucked up. Not just because they're often misrepresntating the real size of these teams, but because I think it's playing directly into a new(ish) flavour of dev hate.

I don't get @safety.bsky.app right now. Did they literally just say "listen we won't action people doxxing or harassing Bluesky accounts if the perpetrator does it elsewhere"?

bsky.app/profile/safe...
In the past month alone, over 12M people joined Bluesky, with daily active users growing 10x. We received more reports in two days than in all of last year, and have integrated new systems and quadrupled our moderation team to try and keep up. Sometimes, we have to work quickly to correct errors.

Would be nice if I could get out of this game dev slump.

@bsky.app I would appreciate if you'd stop signing me out every day, thanks.

Struggled a bit with this decision, but decided to forgo the 2.5D look and focus solely on a 2D one instead.

2.5D or 2D... 🤔

Building a save system, while necessary, is more annoying than I expected it to be. Game dev woes.

@crocotile3d.bsky.social makes getting 3D assets in place a breeze for people like me who have no modeling skills.

Since we now have video, here's a crappy menu system I've been working on that has already changed since recording this. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Yup, still waiting for (upload) support to really be any kind of active here. That and 2FA which boggles my mind why that's not a thing.

Icon hover/alt text would also be nice.
The day video and gif support arrives in bluesky, everyone will leave Twitter.
But it's still too early to say
February 13, 2024 at 8:20 PM
Waiting for bluesky to add video and gif support so I can actually post things I'm working on.
