Character modeling is a specific weakness I have as a game developer; it's just something I'm not good at, or at the very least, not comfortable with. So here is the first enemy in my game, modeled/rigged in Blender. They can only go up from here lol

I did a massive overhaul of the artwork for my game. I realized that it would take me 5 more years to finish at my current pace if I didn't make a change.

Does it look as good? Most people will probably think it looks pretty much the same 😅

Making puzzles in a roguelike game where the tiles can all be accessed from different locations has been an interesting experience, but I've been coming up with some fun and clever solutions that are both familiar and different in my game :)

I'm getting close to finishing a stable version of my first roguelike dungeon. I've been adding simple puzzle mechanics like this one to it to make things a tad more interesting. I'm excited to have a few people test it out!

Redid all of my base dungeon tiles for caves. Now they feel more congruent with the rest of the stuff I've made.

I didn't like the dialogue boxes I made yesterday, so I gave them another shot. Thoughts?

Burnout sucks, every dev goes through it. But after a 6-month hiatus on my project, I'm back in full force. Here's an update :)

Today, 8 years ago, I started on a new journey. Here is the first "game" I created with a tutorial I found on YouTube. Fast-forward to today, and I'm making the type of games I always wanted to make as a kid.

Making some locked doors, I wanted something that stood out a little more but wasn't too fantastical.

Just finished @hazelightgames.bsky.social game Split Fiction. I wish I could forget everything I experienced and play it again. One of the best games I've played in a long time.

I made a few tools in #UE5 to help expedite my level creation. This one creates walls and adds wooden "supports" to them randomly, saving me a ton of time. 🎮

If everyone in my feed stopped elevator-pitching me their entire game and showed me WHY their game is unique or the interesting parts of your development process, I would be way more apt to engage with your content.

Game devs how do you moderate your mental health and prevent burnout as a solo dev? I just took a 6-month break from my project because I was going to hard 😬
