Captain Coder

Exactly 1 year ago I started streaming my gamedev process as a way to keep motivated, get feedback, and do minor marketing. Exactly 1 year later we hit 1k followers. I can't thank the community enough for keeping me going. 🤗🤗 Also 2 days until demo launch!!!

10 days until the Alpine Lake demo is released. It's a game about building and running an inn. Almost 4 years in the making, and the demo is only the beginning!

@thedevdad_ Always buy the dip!

Welp all my money is in bitcoin anyway, idk if I should be happy or concerned of my decisions lol

Do you think you're a bad enough dude to implement Time Mechanics? Then you might be up for Mechanically Challenged! itch.io/jam/mechanical… #mechanicallychallenged #gamedev #indiegamedev

We've done it! We've bagged the `Most Educational Devlog` prize for @TheCaptainCoder's Learn You A Game Jam 2024! If you haven't already, this is where you can check out the game and devlog: rise-and-shine.simple.ink

@kobligo @godotengine @lentsius_bark @jitspoe @walaber @TsundownStudios We will be creating a classroom project on Wednesday!

@godotengine @lentsius_bark @jitspoe @TheCaptainCoder @walaber @TsundownStudios Well, that depends on what they have planned.

@tibo_maker Is that the Borland C compiler?

Anyone remember this?

We just broke 100 joined for Learn You A Game Jam! With over $1000 in prizes, this is going to be so much fun. Join us for a learning adventure! itch.io/jam/learn-you-…

@Twitch Any time a feature launches that modifies the broadcast experience it needs to come with a toggle to enable or disable it. Larger streams are unwatchable unless the streamer edits these to be super expensive or have a long cooldown. Having no toggle on this is wild.

This month we are challinging you to implement Portal Physics! Two of our favorite submissions will win $50 each! Join us for our monthly game dev challenge: Mechanically Challenged! mechanicallychallenged.org #gamedevs #indiegamedev #mechanicallychallenged

@subliminalman Not game dev specifically but, when I was freelancing I would typically be actively working on 3 or 4 projects with another 2 or 3 in the pipeline to keep my workload full.

Questions for indie game devs - including your game and client work (or full time job) how many projects do you have going? At the peak this year for our studio of 4 people we had about 7 active projects at the same time with me being on 6 of them directly.

Learn You A Game Jam is coming up and we have over $1000 in prizes this year! In this game jam you win by learning something new and sharing it with the community! Be sure to check it out! itch.io/jam/learn-you-… #gamedeveloper #IndieGameDev #IndieGameDev #GameJam #LYAGJ #LYAGJ2024

@trshpuppy There is a reason I use a standing desk.

Imagine having to sit on a flat ass 😭

In my opinion, it should not be mandatory as a full class. Instead, we should strive for integrated learning in which students are exposed to small amounts of programming that show them how and where it can be applied in a variety of subjects. Additionally, there should be full comp science an programming electives available for those who are interested in exploring further.

What do you think? Should coding be a mandatory subject in schools? If so, how early?

Do you believe that science is for everyone? Lita and Balint have submitted an application for an interactive science experiment at @TwitchCon! We hope to show that @Twitch is the BEST location for all types of #scicomm and it would be a dream to bring this to life at TC24!
