I'm planning on having 6 characters with two "levels" that take 15 minutes each. That would mean 3 hours of story gameplay, not including optional content. I'm wondering if I should be shooting for longer times, or if this is appropriate for an indie game. Any advice? #gamedev

It's tough finding nice sounds... Anyone out there got any good sites? I'm using ZapSplat right now but would love to hear about other sites! #sfx

Weekend! I have family over which is always fun, though it also means less dev time. Still the goal is to work on sewer art as that is the first area you will explore in the demo. Anyone got any sewer ideas? #gamedeveloper #indiegame #IndieGameDev #indiegamedeveloper

Reminder to indie devs to keep playing games. I'm not saying to skip dev to play games, but it's good to look at how dev teams design their games with the player in mind. For me, I'll be taking a critical look at the new Zelda game coming out. What game gives you inspiration?

Made a drone enemy, though I'm not sure I'm set on the colors. Kinda looks like a chicken which I found funny, so maybe I won't change it. Drone will hover up and down and just be something fun to bounce off. #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedeveloper #gamedeveloper #gamedevelopment

Steam page development is going well. I've checked off almost half of the list I need to in order to publish the game page. Hoping to get this done by the end of the month and work on getting wishlists!

Been trying to experiment with the Unity 2d universal lighting pipeline so I can get more dynamic lighting. But all this stuff about normal maps and shaders has me all confused. Hopefully the end result is worth the headache!

Changed my branding! Been working on something big, hope to have something to show soon...

Took me longer than I thought, but I made a YouTube channel! Gonna post dev logs, tutorials, and challenges so if you like those types of things I would be really happy if you would stop by! Here's my first video! youtu.be/hE4xHHGaCFo #YouTube #YouTuber #gamedev #IndieGameDev

Two week streak! If you like goth girls this may be the video for you... youtu.be/WryFOzeH_4o #YouTube #YouTubers #goth #art #2dart #Photoshop #Unity #gamedev #indiegame #IndieGameDev #indiegamedeveloper #timelapse #gamedev #gamedeveloper #gamedevelopment #gamedesign #indie

Hi! In this video I show you how to make bullets and bullet spawners in unity. I put the code in the description if you like my implementation and want to try it yourself! #gamedeveloper #IndieGameDev #indiegames #indiegame #indiegamedeveloper #gamedev youtu.be/YNJM7rWbbxY

For my next youtube video, I'm thinking of doing a tutorial on adding pokemon elements (like fire, water, electric, etc.) to your game. What would you want from a video like that (using the unity engine)? #gamedev #indiedev #YouTuber #YouTube #tutorial #indiegamedeveloper

First YouTube short! Made a short video on how to create simple hitboxes. Check it out! youtube.com/watch?v=Obvx4M… #gamedev #gamedevelopment #gamedeveloper #YouTube #shorts #indiedev #indiegame #IndieGameDev #indiegamedeveloper #UnityDev #devlog #IndieDevs #developer #gamedesign

Starting a devlog series! Here I'll be documenting my game development journey! This is the beginning! youtube.com/watch?v=zxa3fo… #gamedev #gamedevelopment #gamedeveloper #devlog #indiegame #indiegamedeveloper #indiedev #IndieDevs #unity2d #Unity #indiegamedev #indiedevlog

Released a new video on Object Pooling in Unity! If you're creating and destroying lots of prefabs in your scene then this video will help you optimize your game! youtube.com/watch?v=1i-TVV… #gamedev #gamedeveloper #gamedevelopment #objectpooling #indiegame #IndieGameDev #devlog

Made the #suikagame but better! Added Tetris mechanics like holding pieces and seeing the next 5 pieces. Give it a play and let me know what you think! sidereum-games.itch.io/suika-but-bett… #indiegame #gamedev #IndieGameDev #indiegamedeveloper #Watermelongame #gamedevelopment #indiegames

Making the Suika game reminded me that coding is a creative process. Finding solutions to the main problems of the game felt like a puzzle game of its own. And I think coding should feel like a puzzle game, as it makes building games way more enjoyable. #IndieDevs #indiegame

I think making smaller games is the way to go. The alternative is to work on my biggest idea now, but that may backfire if my experience with Godot is low. I don’t want to make lots of clones of other games, but starting a 3-6 month project sounds healthier than a multi-year one.

Anyone else getting weird twitter glitches? Even when writing this post the textbox I'm writing in keeps glitching out. Probably just needs a refresh but really weird that that's happening...

Game devs out there, are you solo or with a team? I think both have their advantages and disadvantages, though in the end there really is no wrong way to make a game. I'm just curious as to what other devs are doing. I'm solo in case you're wondering. #gamedev #IndieGameDev
