This is how far I've gotten. Unsure about the style of the trees, they have the nordic kids' cartoon look. which has its charm, but not sure I want that. Gonna iterate some. And it needs more juice (ofcourse)! #gamedevlife #unity

Ok time to take a break from having fun developing my daughter's game and do some taxes & bookkeeping 😣 Here's pretty much one week's progress. From nothing. And this done in Unity made to ship for mobile devices. #gamedev #indiedev

Gotten a bit obsessed with this. Been so much fun! I changed the perspective now, does feel cooler and my daughter preferred it (Although she was unsure with the fog). But the scope is growing, this was supposed to be a quick small dad & daughter game 😅 #indiedev #gamedev

Father & Daughter game update. Added an improved "rounded earth"-effect. Love it! Had some rendering issues where my real coding experience mattered (opposed to vibe coding). Added music & a run-sound. And my kids' school, simplified & stylized to fit the game. #indiedev #gamedev

Friday father & daughter game update. Today I got a super cool water shader working, quite happy how water looks now! Also added intractable elements, like signs and other animals to talk to. Not too bad for one day's work! #indiedev #gamedev

This is really what it means to "not code" anymore. I could modify the value in code, but as I'm already in the terminal with Claude I might as well stay there. #vibecoding #claude #ClaudeCode

Apparently XCode can now run your games and apps over wifi. How long has that been possible? Here I'm plugging in my devices for testing like I've been used to. 😅

Small gamedev update. My daughter wanted a castle in the game. So I added a pink one. Here's a quick peek how my edit process works. I find it quite convenient -Everything built into Unity. Now time for some social media fasting like Bryan Johnson recommends!

Got sidetracked from my previous project. I had a dream about a puzzle game mechanics, something I haven't seen before so I had to try it out to see how it feels. This is where vibecoding rules, it's super fast and easy to get something nice up and running to try out an idea.

Father & daughter gamedev update! Added a pearl fishing mini-game. Dive, open clams and search for pearls before your air runs out. Gotta say I'm feeling the scope getting out of hands. I'd like to get this more or less done this month, so I can move on to new indie games.
