Many devs give up early because they assume making games is just a matter of following tutorials until something "clicks"
Playing games and making them are two completely different experiences.
There are no fixed rules. You’ll have to find what works for you.

Updated the wind system after some great feedback from all the platforms.
Had to switch to a new algorithm — wind’s trickier than it looks 😅
What do you guys think now?

Unsolicited Monday game dev advice:
When getting started for the week, try to find easy wins. Fix small bugs or add little bits of polish.
This helps get back into the groove and gain momentum for bigger stuff later in the week.
That's it! Hope you're having fun with your game 🛠️

I made a DCEL for #ProcGen dungeons. I'm working on the "Just make it exist" part of the meme. I'll add the "dark and scary" later. E.g. I'll fix the door gap, add room variety, and flesh it out with real art, enemies, and dimly lit torches.

I really wish I knew if I was the guy on the left or the guy on the right. 🫤
I have studied so much of what makes for a successful indie game, and lately I've been feeling like the most important thing is still and always has been developing a delightful experience. ✨ #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment #indiegames #gamingindustry

Woke up to one of our playtesters reporting a 1-frame hitch on vertical scrolling. Started digging and ended up scrapping the code for NPC movement and sprite updates completely and starting from scratch. For one annoying frame. #gamedev is hard 😅

The environment can be your greatest weapon when the world crumbles, seize its fragments to unleash opportunities no ordinary weapon could offer.

This is pretty cool.
My current version allows agents to query hundreds of potential destinations because they're just looking at precomputed data. Basically just a voxel grid with info about each area baked from the editor.
I'm hoping to maintain this general system, as it's already proven pretty useful...

I’ve added an observatory to my dark fantasy game, Crimson Rest. It’s situated at the top of a tower and allows you to decipher the moon phases. What other mechanics should I add?

It is hard to see while running away in the dark in Crop Survivor, but yes. The zombies are losing body parts with damage.

Do folks have suggestions for heuristics for NavMesh distances? Need a way to know which destinations are "close" without actually running the calculation...
Just using eucliean distance keeps having them choose points on the other side of walls...
