Google's incompetence cannot be overstated. They pushed a mandatory Android update that breaks Google Maps on a Pixel phone. They control every link of this chain but somehow can't guarantee that basic buttons are clickable! Amateur hour...

For years I've been experimenting with 3D but in the summer of 2025 I reached a point where I could see it becoming more than a prototype. So I made Dear Clockmaker, a short 3D action-adventure game, to prove it could work

I can't remember if I ever posted this complete map of Legends of Aereven: Lunar Wake, my first #zeldalike. I've always loved finding those kinds of maps in the walkthrough magazines

It's getting better and better: Ubuntu does not install a media player out of the box! OGG files are opened by Firefox and WAV files just won't load.
Are they assuming nobody got the sound working? (And to be fair the sound is indeed not working inside my VM)

I just installed Ubuntu 24 LTS on a VM and the file explorer doesn't give you any command to create a new file. You can apparently go to a special "Templates" folder to create presets you want to show there (though you still need to create the file through an app first) and this is just baffling

I took some time today to invest in the UX of my tools. Most behavior is scripted using deeply nested objects but it wasn't very readable before. Better now! #gamedev #customengine

There's foes to battle, movement abilities to unlock, outfits to collect and lore to piece together. Have a few more screenshots:

Dear Clockmaker is out! It's my first complete 3D action-adventure game, a white whale I've been chasing since 1998.
It's a short (1~2h long) #indiegame #metroidvania adventure through an interconnected world and it's *free*, so check it out: dreamnoid.itch.io/dear-clockma...

One last batch of screenshots before tomorrow's release? "Dear Clockmaker" is a big breakthrough for me! Very proud of that one and it was a lot of fun to make

I may have already posted a previous version of my goals for my custom game tech, but here's the latest. It's not obvious to me how to hit all those points at once, if it's even possible #gamedev

Working on the final boss for my latest jam game. It's the first time I've used data-driven state machines as a graph (rather than a simple tree of instructions) and it rocks #gamedev

I did not expect to like 3D level design as much as I did! It's challenging tho

After a week of jam, I finally got the first "tutorial loop" implemented. It's not quite a game yet, but starting to look like one. More importantly, most if not all workflows are now in place #gamedev

New screenshots!
I finally landed on a 2x3m grid size for walls, so I can start working on the kits.
I also made a character creation tool.

It's jam time again! This time I'm hoping to actually finish a full 3D game with my engine. It's a constant challenge, but I'm hopeful! 🤞

I'm entering #Metroidvania Month Jam once again, with a weird self-imposed requirement: build a game fully playable in your web browser with an approach similar to what I did last year for my GBA game.
The goal is it to test tech stuff and learn, but hopefully I can get a cool small game out of it!

And of course my journey continues! Late in 2024 I made a sequel to Silent Paradise named Lost Paradise, for #Metroidvania Month Jam. It's very open, with a lot of different paths you can take through the game (including skips!). Writing about the end of the world was also pretty cathartic

The next Dreamnoid release will be a big update to my #jrpg Hotel Demonica, introducing first-person 3D dungeon exploration and keyboard/gamepad controls, among other quality of life features. Should come out pretty soon! #screenshotsaturday
