Aw shucks, @elonmusk, you sounded so intellectual when you were posting in Latin about unblocking all the white supremacists. Can't believe that strategy backfired. I, like all of your advertisers, would now like to announce my departure from your dumpster fire.

@PuddleheadC @IndieAoba Wow that is such a good (and subtle) effect that I had to watch it loop a couple of times to figure out what you were doing! It looks amazing.

Happy Wednesday :) Some more palette swap shader experiments on #CinderHoodGame ... this time with simple retro water ( WIP ) #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #indiegame #retrogame #GameMaker #indiedevhour

Haven't spammed these in a while... You can play the game here: lvl17.com/ladon You can read the blog here: lvl17.com/wp There's still no dialog in the game or map or hints about what you're supposed to do, so it's still not much fun. Working on it!

Need to get to the moon to blast some bad guys? Don't spend days flying there directly – take this convenient wormhole... if you can find it #gamedev #IndieGameDev #indiegame #indiedev #babylonjs

@TanfreGames @KlownX3 Love the style. Dare I say, it looks a little like Studio Ghibli art.

Trying that last video again, as a GIF #gamedev #IndieGameDev #indiegame #indiedev #babylonjs

Wow, is Twitter's video quality really that horrible? This video looks like blurry garbage and it's a 2880 x 1800, high bitrate MP4. Guess I'll have to make everything into GIFs.

No shmup is complete without the classic "rocket" weapon. #gamedev #IndieGameDev #indiegame #indiedev #babylonjs

@ShaneJFilomena Thank you so much for the feedback! Some kind of map has definitely been the #1 request from early testers.

I worked out a simple noise function that fills the whole map from the Sun to Pluto. Fun fact: it would take 5.1 years in the game to fly that distance. #gamedev #indiedev #babylonjs #indiegamedev #indiegame

I guess I could explain this better, ha... The noise function is what I'll use to place all the "stuff" in space like asteroids and space junk and enemies.

Space is looking a lot more spacey #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #gamedev #babylonjs

@Topsa @ThePixelSword Amazing! I love that there are two moons.

I made this #pixelart #3dsmax #aftereffects

Started using "IndexedDB" for savegames, seems too good to be true – huge amount of persistent storage space, built right into the browser. Anyone run into unexpected problems with it? #indiedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamedev #babylonjs

@cinnamontoastk Who didn't? Well, people born after the 90s, I guess.

Who had one of these bad boys in the 90's

Yet another thing I wish I had known before starting my game project. Sigh. lvl17.com/wp #gamedev #indiedev

I spent some time cleaning up nagging performance stuff and got the framerate back up over 200 FPS during normal gameplay. Also discovered that if you die, the game crashes. You say "bug," I say "feature." #indiedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamedev #babylonjs

Heard some wise words from a painter and it made me get all philosophical... If I actually survive making this game, will I still want to make games? I hope so. I wrote a blog post about it: lvl17.com/wp #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiedev

Just realized that I called it a "spacial grid" in the menu... Should it be "spatial?" I thought I knew how to spell things.

The biggest complaint, so far, from the pre-alpha testers of my game is that it's too hard to tell which way you're moving. So, I added a big ol' grid. #indiegame #indiedev #indiegamedev #gamedev #babylonjs
