It's not a bug, it's a treat!

Happy Halloween!!! 🎃

#gamedev #indiedev #solodev #Halloween #gamedevlife

A photo of Dave standing outside an office building in a vibrant clown outfit and sunglasses, holding a pumpkin bucket and a cardboard sign reading "BUG OR TREAT!". A sinister red balloon floats nearby while a receptionist in the background hands candy to a miniature astronaut and witch, completely oblivious to the massive bug standing right outside her doors.

The story of Zoe is not about being a hero. It is about finding out who you truly are before it is too late.

Max Pears lost his Mum at eight, and games became the place he learned to escape, grow and grieve. Now he makes them to give that back.

Taking "racking my brain" a bit too literally... 🧠🔧

Debugging an AI regression today. Somewhere between tweaking unit logic and polishing mechanics, my tactical AI decided to shed half its brain cells. Time to dive back into the code mines.

#gamedev #indiedev #solodev #tactics #gamedevlife

Dave seen from behind at his triple-monitor desk in a colorful retro windbreaker, taking the phrase "racking your brain" way too literally by physically digging fingers into an exposed brain inside his open skull. Code and tactical tilemaps glow across his screens. On the floor near his chair, a copy of 'Tech CEO Monthly' featuring an overconfident guy with a towering flat-top haircut lies discarded by the cables, serving its true purpose as an emergency coaster.

True immersion is mandatory when working on GLSL fog shaders. 🥽💨

If you're not breathing through a snorkel in a fogged-up room, can you even trust your fragment math?

Back to polishing the fog rendering in LÖVE2D. 💻

#gamedev #indiedev #shaders #gamedevlife

Dave sitting at his triple-monitor desk in a colorful 90s windbreaker and snorkeling mask, fully submerged in dense artificial fog. A glowing neon sign reads "THE DAVE'S DEVLOG !". Rumor has it wearing a snorkel improves GLSL compilation times by 12%, though his mechanical keyboard is currently operating at 100% relative humidity.
