@jolan_chiquet month or two

@void_wound hell yeah

@Sarkicism Looks like Terraria on steroids! Awesome!

@EmmanuelYTSEO It's not ready yet

@Sarkicism If i may ask, have you tried reaching out to small Twitch streamers to play your demo? That usually helps indie games get early attention.

@EmmanuelYTSEO yes

@Sarkicism This looks interesting! One thing that could really help discovery is posting short gameplay clips on YouTube Shorts or X. It can bring early visibility before launch.

@GrilliotTodd this is fantastic, great work

Pixel Engine v1.1 (left) vs Nano Banana 2 (right). I gave both models basically the same prompt. Unless you've tried to create spritesheets with image models before, you probably don't realize how hard it is to get good motion. Image models don't want to animate things, they want to make images. I trained my own animation model (Pixel Engine 1.1) to solve this problem. It's a completely novel approach, and it works surprisingly well. You can try it for free rn in the pixel engine app.

@alightinastorm @threejs Wow cheap, best not to just use Godot or roll own engine

$799 per seat LMAO you get it for free and open source with my editor and @threejs SEVEN HUNDRED NINETY NINE PER SEAT Not even Adobe would do that

@void_wound you got a comment bot going lol?

@Sarkicism And reply to main topic: VN/TBS in bloody dark fantasy setting. Hobby solodev project. Prologue in work for now. x.com/void_wound/sta…

@Jole_says_hi awesome art

New updates to the map! It now has cute little paper icons and more useful information on it, as well as a slightly transparent background which lets the player know the game is still going underneath. #WishlistWednesday #gamedev

@RestoreIsland looks great

We did precise teamwork to make this game and we are proud of it!!!! #Game #gamedev

@CompromiseDev nice ui

Writing more Lore for the Journal showed that there are far too many Undead in the game😅 Some many, that I needed a scrollbar. Was surprisingly complicated to make the handle scale, move, and adjust the text in a pixel perfect fashion🫠 #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #ドット絵

@arikgames nice art

Hi! It's #WishlistWednesday! In my game Legends of Rock you start from nothing. Get a job, earn money, buy your first guitar, and begin writing songs.🎸 Wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4227560/ #indiegames #gamedev

@LegionStudio24 Thanks

@Sarkicism Great day/night design! Good job

@KyleDGamedev @raddevus yeah sounds like you got the reach around

@Sarkicism @raddevus Yep.. includes iterations, animations, etc etc. It took a long time and I made the mistake of paying per hour, rather than per task because at the end the per hour rate was likely overreported. 3d is a lot cheaper than pixel art..

I worked three jobs just to finish my first indie game. Cosmic Coop took 3 years to make and cost around $92,000 (which is quite insane) It has only made about $20,000 on Steam so far, so it still isn’t profitable. But I don’t regret it. That project taught me more about development, art, and project management than any tutorial ever could. My next game, Critter Tactics, reuses the same assets but has a much smaller scope and is already halfway finished after only a few months. Scope matters. Start tiny. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #unitygamedev #solodev #gamedevlife

@KyleDGamedev @raddevus You paid $65,000 for pixel art?

@raddevus Hey there. Majority is art. I wanted the game to be too perfect. Even music is $200 a minute. Art was around $65k though so next time im doing that better

@alightinastorm Good to hear keep it up

@Sarkicism uhh i am actually, all prior editor apps suffered from a bad kernel and i am absolutely polising things just try it

I vibe coded a ThreeJS world editor with GPT 5.4 in 48 hours from scratch Open Source, MIT Features: - Integrated AI texture generation - AI model generator - Vertex/Edge/Face Editing - Physics and a Player Controller to test the world - Export (glb) - Pretty much everything essential trenchbroom and hammer offer (brushes, presets, extrude, arc, fill, flip normals, material browser, inflate, deflate,...) - Split View (2D orthogonal) yes, that is dust2 enjoy 😊
