Here's an exercise routine that I recommend to game developers in 2025. Stay healthy 💪

#gamedev

Are you a game developer? Try these 4 fun exercises!

Forward Lean (picture of a man leaning forward in his desk chair somewhat depressingly)

Backwards Lean (picture of a man absolutely and completely deflated in his desk chair)

Knees-to-Chest Stretch (picture of a man in the fetal position with tears welling up in his eyes)

Egg Rolls (picture of a man lying on his side, clutching himself, sobbing, and a small puddle of tears forming)

Foggy pixel art landscape as a wallpaper for phones (including an August 2025 calendar and another version without it). Front: grass, a tree on the left side. A Silhouette of a guy (right side). Middle: grass and more trees. Background: huge mountains. The whole landscape is created in green colors.

Only 3 days left until "Öoo" releases🥶

Don't worry.
The bombs in this game are remote-controlled, so you can detonate them whenever you like.
In the early stages of development, they were actually time bombs!

The Weightlifting event in 'Sports Sports'. A lot of these need gameplay refactoring and some visual tweaks. So so soooo many frames of animation in that game! #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev
