It's funny how my game is slowly turning into an Escape Room, except the point isn't to leave. Nor is there an overarching puzzle you're solving. Just a lot of weird little rabbit holes to jump down. #gamedev #indiedev

So many things in the Cuddle Kobold update are halfway there and achievable, a good day of work away from being done. So it hurts how little I've been able to work on it. Someone else would've been done months ago.

If you can't figure out by now that you need to move your work away from Twitter, I'm not in a rush to convince you to do so. How many more reasons do you need? #gamedev #indiedev

Itch: "Someone bought your game!" Me: "What? Why? ... Oh wait, people just do that sometimes." #gamedev #indiedev

"Let me see what you have." "A gun!" "*NO!*" #gamedev #indiedev (CW: Guns firing, but no actual violence beyond losing our deposit.)

I've been fighting Unity joints for hours. I think I finally got a fridge door to *mostly* behave the way I want. It's been an ordeal. #gamedev #indiedev

VR Developers: How do you specifically create a bowl-shaped collider for Unity? Are there any tools you use to speed up the process? #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d

I got it! GameObject.FindWithTag is more efficient, but it's also only running 3 times; I was worried it was going to need to look for the pooled object manager with every footstep, but it only needed to look each time an AudioSurface type was encountered. So far so good! #unity3d #gamedev #indiedev

It does look better as a proper stopper, I'll leave it that way. Intrusive thought: "Player will think they can pull out stopper now."

Yes I thought of the obvious thing. This feels like giving up.

Me adding a generic random piece of decor: "Yes, this will have so many needless functions and secrets most players won't find, ha ha!" Me adding a shiny gold key: "Eh, I can't think of anything for that to do, it'll just be decoration." #gamedev #indiedev

Didn't quite make it for the day, but here's the Holiday Catch-up for Cuddle Kobold: Just a Bite's Bonus Update, talking about progress and what I'll be doing next! Read it here! ⤵️ www.patreon.com/posts/holida... #indiegame #furrygame #gamedev

Super cost-effective and talented maker for game character models, Vtuber avatars, and more! Both myself and a friend have employed her and been very happy with the results! #gamedev #indiedev

I'm in one of your other packs, may I still apply, or is that being greedy?

New Patreon / SubStar post, a preview video with some of the changes upcoming to Cuddle Kobold: Just a Bite's long-overdue bonus update! ...Why is the thumbnail a basketball? www.patreon.com/posts/just-b... #indiegame #gamedev #vr

Unity Animation Editor tamed, Kobold Headpats animation (minus some automatic stuff) achieved.

Made a peephole by gluing a customized reflection probe to it. It's not an elegant solution, the better method would be to modify a shader to inject the cubemap, but I don't know how to do that at the second. But I do know how to glue a custom reflection probe to the door. #unity #gamedev #indiedev

It might be Bluesky compression, but the grayscale changes the feel to harsher and darker. A lighter shade for the middle grays may help, but my suggestion would be to pick a Super GameBoy-like palette to make your promotional default. It'll set a unique tone. I went kinda retrowave with mine.

I've thought about how to best to implement redecoration in a VR game, and I think I've figured it out: The Furniture Gun. BANG BANG BANG! Three piece suite. #gamedev

Good thing I'm not developing a VR game in Unity 2022 or anything! Now I can't have access to the update to "com.untiy.xr.openxr"! (Oh, also "XR: Fixed issue where Quest Link would fail when using DX12 and single pass rendering." I'm sure that's no big deal FOR A VR GAME.) #gamedev #indiedev #vr #xr

What the hell is this, Unity? After 2023 being abandoned and Unity 6 having issues for ages, now us "peasants" aren't allowed access to 2022 updates for our existing builds? unity.com/releases/edi... #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d

Since I dug it up, here's Steamed Hams but it's Isometric Exercise. Probably my most complex and favorite voxel piece. I did a LOT of rewatching to catch all the little details. You can view it in live 3D here, but it's missing some of the shader effects: skfb.ly/6wupD #voxel #magicavoxel #voxelart

I'm also looking for short-term work to make ends meet: -Writing (Comedic and Soft Tones are my best area, but I'm flexible) and Proofreading -Pixel Art and Voxel Art (especially low-spec, such as these GB Studio examples) -GB Studio Development SFW or NSFW* #gamedev #gbstudio #pixelart #forhire

I remembered the NES/Famicom d-pads didn't just have the little triangles, but proper little arrows, that might work even better than what I suggested. Hope I'm not sticking my nose in too far, sorry!

Forgive the sloppiness, I'm drawing this with my finger in the back of a moving car, but little inset arrows with the negative space might give it a bit of the d-pad feel you want? Only if you want to go that route, of course.

This was actually an issue when I started colorizing Rulent Tower for GBC support. Previously I picked a sort of vaporwave palette, suddenly I could make things all the colors. (Or most of them, GBC is real bad at yellow.) And I had no idea what color Rulent Tower actually was. Red? Blue? Purple?

I love YouTube Shorts because it lets me easily watch all these Blender tutorials about uhhhh... Well at least I can see the view counts! #gamedev #indiedev #blender

It's funny I can't find anything that is literally... two bars and some non-skid pads on it. Yes, I can just improvise something probably, but I don't want it to soak up the heat, I want minimal blockage of the vents and intakes, and most importantly I want long arms hugging laptop. Wouldn't you?
