Today’s #Unreal session: making a door out of 4 boxes, 1 cylinder and a timeline (and an input action, action mapping, boolean, …) The music of Beep’s Escape (@MartiansGame ) is running in loop while we practice 🔥🤖👍🏻 #madewithunreal #indiedev

Today's #UnrealEngine session was about #PoppyPlaytime! With the player possessing Huggy Wuggy, it's time to hunt the employees! Disclaimer: no grabpacks were broken during the session!

Learning @UnrealEngine at 6… Level design is his favorite part so far… happy new year @TimSweeneyEpic & his team 🫶🏻🥳 Been fan of Unreal tech since the early days of Unreal and making levels ad a teen in 1999… jeez I’m geforce 256 old. Shoutout to @GameDevMicah for the tuts!

Dadda, can we add a Vegetablia bonus before my shower? - yes, only if I take an ugly shortcut in the code - why do you say that? - because ECS. Because bitwise collision mask. - errr? - ok, there you go. Next step: state machine & character animations. #indiedev #RETROGAMING

Well, what a time to be alive indeed @kometbomb @STuFFk 🕹️ This side project has been restarted. From scratch, only issue now is the IP 😇 What about a 4 player rick? Wife & kid are testing the first steps towards a Rick Arena… #Retrogaming #indiedev
As requested, a "tech preview" of the "#Rick skinning" of my @photonstorm based platformer engine. Man, those 1990 guys at @CoreDesign_com were #godlike #programmers. Such sense of details & fine grained nuancing every possible behavior. #IndieGameDev #pixelart

Hi @simorph, are you that Godlike Programmer I mentionned last year? I used Rick2 sprites to develop my engine and based my specs on the original Atari St version you made. Just found you on twitter and thought I’d send my respects! That title gave rise to my gamedev passion!

#retrogaming & #pixelart as a great way to keep a 3 yo #kid happy during the #COVID19 #confinement. Today is a #diorama made of cardboard after showing him #RickDangerous2 on a real #Atari ST 1040 🥰 Born after the #Millennials, this one will know what a #floppy is...

Finalising the demo of #BlockysQuest this week! @capacitor makes ios/android build pipeline so easy. @ionic appflow live updates rock. @phaser_ runs literally everywhere - now even on 256MB @KaiOStech feature phones. @maxlynch how about adding KaiOs to npx cap targets?

Jem Tanks v0.1 is live! Try it on jolan.com : - 1UP (keyboard): ARROWS& X,C, SPACE - 2UP (gamepad) Enjoy! #Indiegames #ScreenshotSaturday #Pixelart #Retrogaming #Gamejam
Teachers asked parents to present their job in an accessible way to celebrate the last preschool year (6yo). Made a tank duel in 7 hours, #gamejam style. Features can be enabled individually to show how a game idea comes to life. A/B tested by my kid! #Indiedev #Pixelart

Ah, good. I know what I'm testing tonight! @belgian_games @WALGAbe look, that's less than 8h of work to re-skin #BlockyLion, import shelved #AlphaBoreal assets from last year, fix a few bugs (trigger got stuck + fell from the ladder) and give it a different pace :-)
Introducing #AlphaBoreal ennemies! Right to left: - Schizo (chainsaw) - Stalker (bfg) - Enforcer (gattling) - Surgeon (shotgun) - Drudge (pusle rifle) - Silencer (plasma) + a BFG shot to keep them happy! #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev #games #arcade @photonstorm @gameresources

Dad was able to recover his Dad's original Atari ST... big flickery screen and beige hardware, floppy disks with vibrant games and a mouse that's not ready to retire.
