I’m really grateful for everyone who played, shared, gave feedback or simply supported the game along the way 🧡 Version 1.2.0 is coming very soon, and 1.3.0 is already planned…then I’ll take a bit of time to rest and recharge before whatever comes next. See you soon🧡 15/15

3 weeks ago, I released Gambonanza Since then the game has reached: - 200k+ sales (135k on Steam - 75k on mobile) - 300k+ wishlists I wanted to share the real numbers, what helped the most, and the things that genuinely surprised me as an indie dev 👀 Thread 🧵 1/15

Axe Ghost: Could you get to the boss? #indiegame

@NicolasZu not commercially successful! but fwiw axe ghost was made with heavy reliance on llms for code, humans did the rest. store.steampowered.com/app/2712670/Ax…

Has anyone made a commercially successful video game that was heavily made with agentic engineering? I’d like to follow / study those people.

I know there is some overlap between open source and anti-AI activists, but I have a hard time reconciling it. My million+ open source LOC were always intended as a gift to the world. Yes, I would make arguments about how it would strengthen our communities, and the GPL would prevent outright exploitation by our competitors, but those were to allay fears of my partners to allow me to make the gift. AI training on the code magnifies the value of the gift. I am enthusiastic about it! Some people do look at open source as a tool for social change, career advancement, or reputation building, but those are all downstream of the gift.

@ZeFellowBud the 'inner' character animations use the 3d pixel approach, but that's also layered with (non grid aligned) stretching and squashing if my eyes don't lie

@ZeFellowBud ? these models also become misaligned w the grid. you can see it most clearly in the section with vehicles

YESSSS TRUE VOXELS!!! a personal pet peeve of mine is most voxel games have player models who's voxels can "rotate" against the grid. rather than behave like voxels would like pixels LOOK AT IT

broke the wall slide anim. but it's got something. #gamedev #godot #indiegame

In my game you need the enemies. Each stomp rotates your loadout. Working with bombs and lasers here. #gamedev #godotengine #indiegame

@nozomu57_ yes, see you there!

В апреле поеду на GodotCon в Амстердам! Ещё думаю, хочу ли выступить с докладом, но как минимум просто увижусь с хорошими знакомыми 😌 Маякните, если тоже будете!

@ginyoagoldie good for you! nice work.

The site is vibecoded btw i just wanted to make that clear. I am no means in any way a traditional programmer, i had just wanted to make animation more accessible n intuitive

i made a website you can animate on! a bit buggy.. but it works.. lmk what yall think! ginyo.space/celstomp
