Quite proud of my official release 🎥 trailer for my #solodev #indiegame 🎮 (I'm fond of the rewind trope 😅) After 18 months of #gamedev it feels wild that my game will release this month! 🥲 What do you guys think?? store.steampowered.com/app/3… Wishlist and stuff! 🙏 ok thx bye!

10 games to get to know me

Getting comments like this from strangers who discovered my game Demo feels so good! "Left me wanting more" 🥹 This is the kind of motivation I need 💪 #gamedev #solodev #gamemaker

Wanna help me get my Demo off of itch.io and onto Steam? I just uploaded a new build, and would LOVE 😍 to hear some feedback 🙏 Please play it, break it, enjoy it, etc... All I ask is for feedback on my itch.io page! Thank you! #gamedev #gamemaker

This post is basically my strategy: Playtest and refine on itch.io, and then polish like crazy for the Steam version. News coming very soon! reddit.com/r/SoloDevelopment…

Making some real progress developing my little save system in #gamemaker. Just a few more 'key' items (literally in-game keys haha) to save, and we should be set. But, damn, this feels good to finally see in my game 🥲 #gamedev #solodev

Working on boring #gamedev stuff like saving and loading and checkpoints and ugh!!! Looking at code from months ago, and the hacks I shoddily implemented-- cringing because it's biting me in the ass now 😭 Time for more workarounds for my previous workarounds...?

Added an additional idle animation for when the player stands still for too long. Juan looks to the camera like, “Hey— do something, player” 😂 #gamedev #solodev #gamemaker #pixelart

Just spent like 5 hours fixing one bug... it do be like that sometimes. But damn, it sure does feel good to cross this one off the list 😅🙏 #gamedev #solodev (For the curious, it was a save/load bug for specific dialogue boxes)

📢 I'm super stoked 🎉 to share the trailer 🎥 for my videogame: “Prototype Juan” 👾 — Help Juan get back to his 16-bit self! Play the Demo here: martypixelrod.itch.io/juan #gamedev #gamedesign #solodev #indiegame #pixelart #videogames #gamemaker

Finally getting to actually editing the trailer. It should drop later this week. Very excited to show you all what I've been working on 😁 (Haven't editing in a loooong time since I made silly videos as a kid. A lot has changed haha-- but sure feels nostalgic to be back) #gamedev

Question for my fellow solo #gamedev people: All I had time to work on today was marketing material for my game. (Trailer, and storefront pages) Would you count that towards a day of gamedev completed? I have a daily Calendar that I mark off each day I game dev. What say you?

FInally fixed a small UI bug that's been present in my game for a few months now. Like a damn thorn has been removed from my side after months of small, annoying pain lol🙏 Feels just that much more polished now though! #gamedev

My dream is to release a decent game on Steam. #gamedev
