I love learning something by going in blind. Learning how to put a low pass filter on audio in DaVinci and... Elements? In MY equalizer type? Am I a shaman now? Are we in Avatar??

Checking up what lists I've been added to on Clearsky when this one scrolled past. So many questions. Who the fuck are the Leeds? How did I get added to this list? Who are you people??? 😭

Redoing the bottle pickup system in my game and had to copy/paste some code over. System didn't work. Went back and took a careful look through the original system. Now wondering how it ever worked at all. This meme still rings true.

Opening the engine when you're tired and stressed and sleepy and not feeling it but you ain't a quitter and haven't done any serious systems work in weeks and these ones and zeroes ain't gonna conquer you #GameDev #IndieDev #IDidn'tHearNoBell

Game dev is constantly wondering how you and your props keep breaking physics.

I love the similarities and differences in my two favorite hobbies. Game dev is done indoors, my gardens are all outside. Yet both inspire the other. I love creating lush, vibrant scenery virtually and in reality. Now if only I can figure out how to get the framerate so good in my games...

I really hope I come to a point in my game dev career when systems work doesn't turn my brain into a toddler who refuses to slog through the hard parts.

🥳🥳🥳 Super excited to see that I hit 100 subs on YouTube this morning! Starting a YT channel this year has been such a delightful choice. I've had so many talented and passionate people comment and reach out to me with kind words, and I'm honored to be a part of the game dev community.

A WHAT Proofreader!?

Damn. I know it's rough out there in the job market, but this salary range doesn't even feel like they're trying.

Sometimes #GameDev is putting together beautiful new worlds and immersive environments! Sometimes it's trying to figure out why your squeegee mesh just turned you into an F1 car. #IndieGameDev #Indie #IndieGame #TheMomentIRealizedAttachActorToActorWouldntWork #Nyooooom

Oh boy! I finally set up the fancy special FX splashes for when my wine bottles break. I made sure it was a nice white color too so that I can edit the tint in code. Let's see how it looks! .... Oh. Oh I need to change the default color. #UE5 #IndieGameDev #GameDev #Well #AtLeastItWorks?

After messing around with several different systems... the bottles finally break on strong impact! VICTORY SCREECH! #UE5 #BlenderCellFractureMyBeloved #IndieGameDev #GameDev #NowWho'sGonnaPickThisUp #StillGottaAddMaterials #Sounds #TurnOffOriginalBottleMesh #BUTITBREAKS

Gee let me just go check my latest YouTube video's analytics page and see how people are finding it-- Oh. What.

When you make a creepy character for a bit a while ago and forget about it, but then jump scare yourself the next time you pop in the engine for some footage. These mannequins will be the death of me. #IndieHorror #UnrealEngine #HorrorGame #IndieDev #IndieGameDev #GameDev #MyPoorHeart

Happy Pribe to my favorite #Pride display ever. 🏳️‍🌈

My clingy work assistant stealing my hand <3

My game already has that classic customer service experience. Definitely met one or two customers like this before. #IndieDev #IndieGame #Indie #IndieGameDev #IndieHorror #SirPleaseStopWarpingThroughTimeAndSpace #SirThisIsALiquorStore

Update: Got my snappoints working! You still get the satisfaction (and risk) of holding a delicate physics object, but can easily grab and deposit items off shelves. So proud of my improving systems work. #UnrealEngine #Indie #IndieGameDev #GameDev #IndieHorror

I love the troubleshooting aspect of #GameDev. Spent all day getting the bottles to easily pop into boxes. Now I gotta figure out how to get it to cleanly teleport into your hand... I'll get it one of these days. #Indie #IndieGameDev #IndieDev #MarkMarkFruitPowersGo! #MYLEG

🥳 A thousand views on my first #devlog! Honestly wild to me that this has been steadily climbing upward all week. Looking forward to making my next one. ♥️

Spring time planting time! There's nothing quite like being able to plant hundreds of seeds that you yourself collected. #gardening #PetuniaPower #planting #BlackPetuniasAreSoGorgeousWTF

I... With a waveform like that, I'd rather not, Freesound...

Such a small thing, but this game has made me *actually* excited to work in #Blender on models that are all my own. Low poly, best practices, and easily editable. Thank goodness there are so many items I need that are nice and box shaped. :) #Indie #IndieGameDev #GameDev #MyBox<3

If you aren't utilizing 90% of your RAM at all times, are you even game devving? #Indie #GameDev #IndieGameDev #NoRAMNoProblems #MyComputerScreamingMeansItsWorking

Time for my first #ScreenshotSaturday ! Not just of the game's progress, but my own as a dev. I made/recorded this glass #foley myself, cobbled together all the physics knowledge I had, and have something that looks, sounds, and feels pretty good! I love all the learning with #GameDev ♥️

This request sent me down a funny rabbit hole. :) Made a short clip then realized that it just wasn't the same without a cacophony of glass sounds. Freesound wasn't cutting it so...time to make my own foley. >:)

It's ridiculous how satisfying it is to manipulate 3d bottles. Until you have to do it 50 times! Finding the happy medium between simulator and game will take a lot of prototyping. Hee hoo, bottle goes in square hole. #UnrealEngine #GameDev #Indie #IndieGameDev #IndieDev #LickableMesh
