#indiedev creating Islamic and educational games for @deengames. I'm creating Islamic and educational games for the mainstream. I also talk about game design.

This affects a lot of #indiedev #gamedev's out there. Read about good posture and take frequent breaks (at least every hour). https://t.co/sf7tpDtDu6

A cautionary tale. I've been in pain every day for a year...

@IgorsGames GifCam is really awesome by the way, thanks for this. Same quality as LICEcap, 60% of the file size. Cheers mate.

[ashes999 @ashes999]

@Khena_B Your jellyfish animation is pretty good.

[ashes999 @ashes999]

@danielben One thing that helps me (also conservative on game expenditures) is give myself a budget (eg. $10/mo) and spreadsheet it. Save up, buy stuff

[ashes999 @ashes999]

@IgorsGames Try clicking on the image, it should appear full-size.

[ashes999 @ashes999]

What do you mean by "GIF quality not eaten by Twitter"? I take 960x540 GIFs and they show up fine on Twitter AFAIK. https://t.co/dBJCHIaGDH

[Igor @IgorsGames]

@ashes999 I use gifcam. Have any tips to make the GIF quality not eaten by Twitter BTW?

[ashes999 @ashes999]

What happens when your krill spawner time takes floats instead of ints. Ironically, this is closer to the real ocean in terms of quantity!

[ashes999 @ashes999]

@DakotaLDE @ArtemGameDevBot I think Option 2 is more "usable" -- it's easier to see and understand at a glance how much time is left (more obvious).

[ashes999 @ashes999]

@EmielBoven That looks pretty good. I think it's just missing those really bright, white (small round) specular highlights.

[ashes999 @ashes999]

Hey #indiedev #gamedev, what software do you use to record video/GIFs of your lovely creations? I use LICEcap, but output files are big.

What I've been up to the last two weeks. https://t.co/rv4ZEjM4pC

[Deen Games, by @nightblade99 @deengames]

This week: errartic squid, sense-of-smell upgrade, and krill! https://t.co/h6mt5aREfQ

[ashes999 @ashes999]

Sorry, didn't represent my work with the best screenshot. Here's a better one showing squid, and the "sense of smell" detection upgrade.

[ashes999 @ashes999]

This week: back to boxes (UI is quite the time-sink); erratic squid; and krill (small frequent prey) to eat. #indiedev #gamedev #prototype

[ashes999 @ashes999]

This is a really great game. You can even idle-play it (minus some bosses). Highly recommended (on Android too). https://t.co/66ItXhKEeR

[Armor Games @ArmorGames]

If you build it they will come. Play casual retro RPG Soda Dungeon free on Steam! https://t.co/tiop0qZbCu #indiegame #FreeGames #sodadungeon

[ashes999 @ashes999]

Something to be aware of if/when you distribute on @steam_games . #indiedev #gamedev https://t.co/CDBkD4Gky0

[Steam Spy @Steam_Spy]

Valve will no longer automatically fullfill key requests from the developers to combat game sales outside of Steam.

[ashes999 @ashes999]

@gordlittle @somepx @DungeonsofChaos Concept sounds solid, but whether it's fun depends on the balance of towers vs. dragons being useful in battle. Prototype and let us know?

[ashes999 @ashes999]

Some good advice on why you shouldn't price you Steam game at just $9.99. #indiedev #gamedev https://t.co/QusOQqQxqx

[Steam Spy @Steam_Spy]

The indie games are too damn cheap https://t.co/aeuJS6HaZn

20 Steam keys of Wayward being given away #indiedev #indiegiveaway https://t.co/bAhFauRToM via @indiedb

[ashes999 @ashes999]

After wasting tons of time on programmer art, went back to boxes. I can already immediately see problems to fix. #prototyping #gamedev

[ashes999 @ashes999]

@danielben In fact, even the buildings and art style looks the same. I guess that's how they get newer games finished and released quickly.
