Just #eclipse things

Been obsessively playing #Postal2 lately because I only have three achievements left before the redux version is released, these are what I have left. Still ideally want to make a game with the amount of freedom Postal 2 has in #Godot #GodotEngine

Moving out of #TutorialHell! This is being made purely with my notes, and I’ve even added an animated background which wasn’t really covered in the original flappy bird tutorial. Player has a pot obstacle to run into or jump over as well #Godot #GodotEngine #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev

#20GamesChallenge first game, #FlappyBird, completed, using only notes I made during a #Godot #GodotEngine tutorial to escape #TutorialHell Game has been exported, we have hi-score storing, and sound effects. Now am working on an infinite runner #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev

Was at #Megacon in Manchester yesterday #MegaconManchester #ManchesterMegacon

I literally almost quit #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev #Godot #GodotEngine earlier but by making notes I’ve made the following without rewatching the tutorial I was following. This is truly the way forwards I’m so lazy sometimes but honestly writing notes is the way forwards

I don’t know about my fellow #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev out there, I know scope creep is a thing, and you should keep expectations reasonable and start with 2D (regardless of game engine), but I still dream of making an immersive sim like Postal 2 or Cruelty Squad

Also, given the success I’ve had at Jiujitsu with taking notes, I’m going back on #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev using #Godot #GodotEngine but this time I’m taking notes and really going to focus. This is the best way to escape tutorial hell (otherwise I’d just give up 🤷‍♂️)

Also had a clear out and found some old posters that I’ve put up in my office to brighten it up a bit because #Postal owns #PostalBrainDamaged #Postal2

Escaping #TutorialHell (though I did have to reference one 😞) but made more progress in #Godot #GodotEngine - more referencing my previous project. Player rotates when they move and when they die they don’t move anymore. I’ll sort the spawner/score/HUD and then finished #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev

Still doing the #20GamesChallenge and realised my birb had the wrong root node. However this is quite the learning experience in #Godot #GodotEngine as I’m really thinking here and getting the hang of #GDScript This will be ready soon I think #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev

Was feeling burnt out for #GameDev so have made time and opted for the #20GamesChallenge Game 1 is either Pong or Flappy Bird, I’ve opted for latter, obviously using #Godot #GodotEngine and not using tutorials though I used previous project as a reference sometimes #IndieDev #SoloDev

Normally block adult bot accounts anyway but looked at what this one had blocked on clearsky and…

Don’t often use Bluesky for #bjj related things but I’ve started doing a #judo class to help with it and this meme feels appropriate

Thinking the next step in my #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev journey with #Godot #GodotEngine is remake smaller games I’ve already made and see how much of them I can do. It’s necessary to escape #TutorialHell Then I’ll maybe try to do a Doom clone again?

So what I really get from “Press Reset” is “Fuck EA they totally suck” Onto this now #BookSky because #Blizzard were a huge part of my #gaming life at one point

In our holiday cottage in Scotland, I have no access to a gym so I’ve been doing “rope puppy pulls” with the assistance of our puppy Ellie aka EllieBelly #dogsky

This decision by Sony to stop with physical media is making me think I should sort my PC to have a dvd rewriter as well as get more games on GOG. I love GOG - I just wish it had a recap similar to what Steam does for what games you played

It’s been a good birthday and I’ve almost finished one of the books i received #BookSky in my opinion it’s not as good as ”Blood, Sweat, and Pixels” but it is good. I love stuff like this some of the stories are insane. #GameDev can be so unpredictable if you do it for a job!

Is this a lossy format

Escaping Tutorial Hell by making a Super Mario Bros. clone. I had initially called the project “SMB Again” but renamed it after a stupid internet video I watched 25 years ago (“Mario Twins”

More of me trying to make my own little Mario project in #Godot #GodotEngine WITHOUT TUTORIALS as I escape #TutorialHell We have a world boundary (that works) and the player moves -properly-. More coming soon #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev

I’ve taken the plunge and am trying to make something small in #Godot #GodotEngine only using tutorials as a reference #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev join me as I escape #TutorialHell

Also we have this, different (more intense) tutorial on Udemy, where most of the player code was done first in #Godot #GodotEngine and now we are just adding the sprites. I fucking love this character though #SoloDev #GameDev #IndieDev

Was feeling a bit uninspired for #GameDev but finished this HeartBeast tutorial in #Godot #GodotEngine #IndieDev #SoloDev

Almost finished this part of the #Godot #GodotEngine course. Was tempted to do a bit of my Duke Nukem clone but forgot where I was going with it 😿😿😿 hard life as a #SoloDev #GameDev #IndieDev

Also! Did more of a course making a space shooter and “call up signal down” is getting rammed into my head, I think I’m learning #Godot #GodotEngine #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev More soon, I do think I should start a proper indie project without any tutorials at all

Getting quite into #pixelart as it might form the backbone of a small game idea I have for a Fear&Hunger-esque JRPG with a lot of references to classic “Knightmare”. Prefer #Libresprite to #Blender (though might come back to it one day) #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev

Been a while hasn’t it? I wasn’t feeling too inspired but threw myself back into #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev with #Godot #GodotEngine Kinda liking these cutesy pixelated games now 😼😼😼
