I am an amateur video game designer
making a gardening game about growing plants in your window
They/Them
18+
Disco Elysium is cool, go play it
Pinned
I'm (slowly) developing a game about growing plants in your window with godot, I have some debatable art so far. No idea when I'll finish it but stay tuned!

After much delay I believe I am ready to go back to my game, I've been a bit rough recently but I'd love to get back to my game, especially over some free time this winter. Let me know if there's anything you'd like to see from my games!

With over 200% funding, the Kickstarter has performed beyond our wildest dreams, but this is only the beginning!! We're now officially in pre-production for ep 2, & will be providing more updates and projected timelines in the near future!!

Thank you so much for believing in us!

I did it, saving (between scenes) is (mostly) finally complete after much anxiety, I'll be starting work on a dialogue system tomorrow

Apparently you can win a 5090 if you upload "the future of GPUS" so here's my attempt at it, all made by me in blender,

The whole concept is that of a GPU with easily swappable components for different workflows, whether you need more ram or more power.

I did it! Now you can save and load the plant data (though there may be edge cases those are a future me problem)

New Godot 4.5 features are awesome! I'll probably be sticking to 4.4 for the remainder of the development of my game but man, stencil support seems so fun, can't wait to see what people come up with for it.

Losing my mind with awful programming practices whilst trying to work out how to offload and reload the data when changing scenes is truly a nightmare

the only hope is singletons

@kenney.nl Having a bit of trouble with Kenney Shape on linux, upon attempting to load a custom pallete or export an asset, I get a segmentation fault, everything else works fine so far but I'd appreciate it if you could respond, thank you! The program looks great so far so any support would be good

Deep Rock Galactic is the standard for non-predatory, no fomo live service games

No Limited time cosmetics
Almost All previous content is accessible
The game has an affordable entry point
playable offline

there's so much that's great about the game but the community is insanely supportive as well.

I came across an outdated guide on image grid sizing crop/proportions for bsky earlier, and I felt it was important to create an updated version! Please use this new guide instead!

Since I just joined I thought I would post a little game jam game me and my friend made a while back:
aviation6.itch.io/you-are-bob

Also some of my interests are disco elysium and metal gear but I generally like a lot of games, also developing them
YOU ARE BOB by Aviation6
explore a world of many sizes as the titular bob
