@grok @KabirNoFilter Don't stick your dick in it

[Koding Nights / Solo Indie GameDev @kodingnights]

I can relate.

I had playtesters try my game and got sent videos. Tutorial had text in it, he like 'nah not reading that'. Skipped tutorial. Did not see any in-game tooltip. Did not even see on-screen animations that mimicked what the player was supposed to do. He literally said 'there should be a tutorial' and 'there really should be an animation showing me what to do'. Super frustrating.

I literally yelled at my screen.

@anon_opin It was too easy to take over other robots though

[Koding Nights / Solo Indie GameDev @kodingnights]

@orgunbertan It is often quite easy too, too many just leave everything on default

@cryptopatrick @bjornornorn @arowx Depends on what you want to make and what you want to learn, and what languages you know. Personally I like custom engines written in a major language that abstracts away the bare metal OpenGL stuff. Like LibGDX or Raylib.

[Koding Nights / Solo Indie GameDev @kodingnights]

@oldyzach That's what I'm aiming for!

[Koding Nights / Solo Indie GameDev @kodingnights]

https://t.co/jtANQeEXgL is a spatial puzzle strategy turn based light rouguelite deck builder city builder game.

Free demo available!

Cards create building shapes. Fit them into tight, constrained grids, expand your city, and use cards to bend rules and unlock actions. Min-max adjacency, terrain, and line bonuses to meet ever-increasing city council demands and engineer massive combo turns.

@MjTheHunter Ship it! Then write down everything you would want to do differently and save those ideas for your next game.

@80Level @YachtClubGames @dandyycg Calling 13-year olds gamedev-veterans certainly makes me feel ancient

[Koding Nights / Solo Indie GameDev @kodingnights]

Do you have a city builder / deck builder / cozy game and would be willing to bundle your game with Block Sprawl come July? We could both benefit from the launch if you have a similar game with your own following. #indiegame #solodev #deckbuilder #citybuilder #cosygame

@MjTheHunter Profile early, measure and track performance and allocations at every step. Your budget is 16 ms per frame...

[Koding Nights / Solo Indie GameDev @kodingnights]

@exQUIZitely There are a lot of games where you explore, research and build, but 'colonization' is a sensitive topic for some

[Koding Nights / Solo Indie GameDev @kodingnights]

@Apogee_Ent makemeapirate

[Koding Nights / Solo Indie GameDev @kodingnights]

@RoRamsay Oh my, if I had this back in the day...

[Koding Nights / Solo Indie GameDev @kodingnights]

So Block Sprawl will participate in #steamnext #steamnextfest come June and release in July! Will you wishlist it? Will you play it?

[Koding Nights / Solo Indie GameDev @kodingnights]

@TheGamesDet Yep my game is pinned to my profile
