Stardust stress testing continues - I've got things up from 15 fps to about 34 with around 300 Starshrooms - progress! #indiedev #gamedev #unity

Sometimes commit messages can be delightful. #gamedev #indiedev

Worrying things I didn't think I'd have to google today... #gamedev #indiedev

We made a wee demo for Stardust Survivors in advance of the Playapalooza play party on Friday - check it out if you have some spare time! boundergames.itch.io/stardust-survi… #gamedev #indiedev

The indie life - using maltesers to illustrate game features. #indiedev #gamedev

Bug fixing today for Stardust Survivors. Turns out our Shooting Stars ability was super broken! The level 5 version now properly has a large star with double damage, size, and pierce, as well as a nice spread firing pattern! #indiedev #gamedev

Not game dev, but still cool - went axe throwing and archery-ing yesterday with some work mates!

Knockback added to Stardust Survivors! Turned way up for visibility. Also made it so knocked-back enemies push through other enemies with a high priority. #gamedev #indiedev

Getting fmod implemented for Stardust Survivors. Really cool to finally use a proper audio tool instead of rolling my own. #gamedev #indiedev

One of my students just referred to Kenney and Kevin MacLeod as the "Free Source Dads" of the games industry and I love that.

New Stardust Survivors feature - weapon evolutions! This placeholder one currently just evolves into the same weapon, but yellow - but this will be more impactful once we get the real weapons in! Sneaky behind the scenes look at our debug menu too ;) #gamedev #indiedev

Collect a Crystal Star Cache, evolve your abilities! Placeholder UI has now been added for ability evolution in Stardust Survivors. Icons, descriptions, and other UI elements all very temporary, but the functionality is there! #gamedev #indiedev

First Stardust Survivors ability evolution - Crescent Edge! It's Crescent Blade, but better, perfect if you liked the ability you had and just want it to be EVEN COOLER. Better models and FX forthcoming, but functionality is there! #gamedev #indiedev

Introducing Counter Eclipse, the second evolution of the Crescent Blade weapon in Stardust Survivors! This one is a big change - instead of regular sword swipes, it performs tons of slashes every full moon! #indiedev #gamedev

Isn't this Crystal Star Cache just the most tasty looking thing and you just desperately want to pick it up? I HOPE SO IT TOOK AGES TO MAKE! (new Stardust Survivors item!) #gamedev #indiedev

The game I'm working on has an update - go check it out, the demo is free! #gamedev #indiedev
