How do y'all use Linux? The past 4 days have been endless pain and frustration.

And here is the thing, its not game breaking, its just hair pulling UI & UX Issues. Its just a drag because I like the look and feel. Its just that every time I have discovered an issue, It makes me appreciate Windows

Yeah. Everything for a full release (besides extras like achievements, leaderboards etc) is in place. Just that the Bug led to crashes and for the life of me I couldn't figure out how to solve it so I removed my submission.

unfortunately, I couldn't finish my game jam submission, BreakPop! due to an unexpected bug.

This led to crashes and yeah...

Making some achievements rely on this because I hate all my players (/s) 😈

I am participating in #Defold Jam 2025!
The theme is: "Classic with a Twist" I am indeed creating a mashup of 2 games to give both of them a twist!
It lasts 2 weeks and I feel like that's ample time for me to make a complete game.
Wish me luck!

It is an attack to alternate Applications like Newpipe and Revanced veiled as "security"

Collins "OneRedEyeDev" Gichuhi @oneredeyedev.bsky.social · Sep 1

Had a github jumpscare.

For context, I made this issue in my own game 2 years ago and forgot about it. I thought someone made an issue in my other public (That should be private) repos

Im sure it will work by locally debugging. The problem comes in distribution. I distribute my game via itch as an apk as well as on Play Store.

They say that it will work just fine as long as I am verified but that isnt a guarantee tbh. It just feels like policing and not actually about security

Google will disable apk Sideloading next year.

Sideloading will only be available for verified developers... in Theory.

They claim it's for the safety of the users but it's clearly to disable apps such as Revanced and Newpipe because it hurts their ad revenue as well as some paid apps.

It seems like every decision I have made in the past 5 years has been the wrong one
I opened up a cyber cafe, it got me embarrassed village wide.
I got into Professional Software Development; I got laid off with pay owed to me almost becoming homeless
I make games, Google Fuckery

The new leaderboards and achievements are in place as well as the UI overhaul + improvements. All that's left is adding the new SFX!

Unfortunately, I'll be going offline from tomorrow. I havent paid my internet for the coming month but I'll manage #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #pixelart

See ya!

Hey everyone. Im sorry for the silence.
I'm finishing up with the arrangement of the music, so that I can program it in Lua in game.
Because the Music is mostly Loops, Im contemplating on making the music player a Soundboard thingy so you can mix your tracks. Soundcloud links will be included 1/2

Collins "OneRedEyeDev" Gichuhi @oneredeyedev.bsky.social · Aug 25

Hey everyone, I'm sorry for the silence. But The update is coming along nicely!

I'm almost done with the music but everything else is already done apart from adding new SFX for powerups.

But when it comes to music, I'm ditching the Music Player in favour of a DJ/Soundboard thing (1/2) #indiedev

I've come to the decision of not participating in this year's GMTK Game Jam.

I simply dont have the morale to do so. I have barely done anything since yesterday and my social anxiety is really doing numbers on me as I feel like everyone in the compound is talking about me.

:(

Back in Late April, I had an issue with electricity at my place.
An Electrician was called. I paid and they "fixed" it
Turns out, what I paid was supposed to be a free service and they illegally wired my place to get electricity for free.

I explained that to them and was released. Case ongoing

Day 1 of the #GMTK Game Jam
