Happy birthday to every gamer and #gamedev (especially solo devs) out there 😉😉😉

❗❗❗ INSANE #gamedev News...

@itchio.bsky.social domain is down

Solo devs... you are allowed to freak out. AHHHH!!! 😭😭😭

My solo dev journey has taken me down the route of UI. I've made both a hotbar and a radial menu for my farming game. I'm going to pretend it is still #ScreenshotSaturday for #gamedev visibility purposes lol

But I'm learning a lot about Unreal Engine's UMG for UI. 😅😅😅

Oh I missed #WIPWednesday for my #gamedev lol... was on 24 hours of no sleep lol.

My solo dev journey has taken me into the realm of UI. It's not great... but it's something.

I'm grateful for assets from @selieltheshaper.bsky.social and @synty.bsky.social for saving me so much time. 💖💖💖

My son and I tested multiplayer in my framework on my farms game today, he decided to make a "watermelon army" while I was committing #gamedev changes lol

And tonight I tested my multiplayer stuff on my block based level editor. Solo dev is going really well. 😉😉😉

Videos in the next week. 😊😊😊

This, from @alsagone.bsky.social is why my #gamedev vision exists.

I want it to be easy for someone to want to get into the beautiful art that is Game Design, a mostly uncharted expanse in comparison to other art like writing, drawing, cinema.

Removing technical hurdles for solo devs is my dream.

So a bit of a different #ScreenshotSaturday today. Pseudo #gamedev related...

But I just updated my mobile solo dev game. 😉😉😉

RTX 4090, 64gb DDR5 RAM, I9-13900H, 4TB SSD

Ready to do some work even at local game dev meetups. 😎😎😎

Saw this on "darker skies"...

PLEASE don't fall for this trap #gamedev 🙏🙏🙏

Do what you need to release. Your priority should be on completing your overarching vision.

Especially #solodev... a game is more than its assets. This perspective is dangerous and a privilege not a need.

Love y'all 💖💖💖

How it Started vs How it's Going

This mornings #UEFN #Verse update resulted in this. Big hearts 💖💖💖

They were talking about `raydistance` 🤣🤣🤣

When you go back to check your Twitter message requests 🤣🤣🤣

I'm currently building a "no code" system for making games, that is also extendable with Unreal Engine's new language #Verse.

The goal is to be able to rapidly build an early access quality game every 2 weeks.

This is a fun part of my workflow using a stream deck and AutoHotKey.

Cooking for the two of us.
😊😊😊

And so it begins, getting some knives soon and teaching myself to chop veggies without chopping myself lol

#GameDev experiment for my no code system using Unreal Engine's future language #Verse.

This is using no custom gameplay logic, just the pre-existing "devices" I've made, and I can put together this logic in an hour.

Goal is to enable Solo Devs to make initial game logic in less than a day 😉😉😉

Playing around with a fun little level editor that I'd figure I'd share for #ScreenshotSaturday.

This is using Unreal Engine's future #Verse language. Which I absolutely LOVE, despite its early form. 💖💖💖

This is one of currently 4 projects I'm using to test my no code system.

#gamedev #solodev

So #gamedev... how do you feel about no code systems?

I'm working on a composable "device" system for gameplay logic to enable solo devs in Unreal Engine's future language #Verse.

These are 4 different games with their current logic setups. Not all logic is yet composable, but I'm getting there.

Hey #gamedev 👋👋👋

Wanted to share the progress of my first cozy game I'm working on as I juggle 4.5 projects right now as a solo dev.

It's inspired by Rusty's Retirement, Stardew Valley, and eventually Satisfactory.

Been fun nailing the lighting in particular for this one, Lumen is so good. 😊😊😊
