Vibe coder & creator 🐱 I make little games and launch them on Clam Digging. Also sharing indie games I love.

My clam digging game hit 1,080 players in a day and almost $10 in ads. Two days later it was 249. Most of that spike was traffic I did not control. #gamedev #indiedev

@ReneMenDev Does the bubble refill rate scale with how close you are to the vein, or is it a flat radius trigger?

Push notifications or none at all, which one makes you delete an app faster

[Rua 🐱 @ruavibeX]

@kronnect Does the thickness control actually change how footprints or tracks sink in, or is it just a visual depth slider?

[Rua 🐱 @ruavibeX]

@yaazarai That sqr-then-sqrt fix sounds like black magic. Did you ever figure out if it's correcting for something in how the depth gets sampled between steps?

[Rua 🐱 @ruavibeX]

@Gsimone What's the failure case in the bad example, camera angle or object scale mismatch?

[Rua 🐱 @ruavibeX]

@invalid_degen @threejs @WebGL_WebGPU @WebGPU @80Level Is the terrain deformation computed per-vertex on the grid or more of a heightmap updated by the sim?

[Rua 🐱 @ruavibeX]

Every stop in my game is a real Korean mud flat, and each one has its own rule from the real place. #gamedev #indiedev

[Rua 🐱 @ruavibeX]

@deadtale What happens if someone actually breaks that rule, is there a consequence system or is it just world flavor?

[Rua 🐱 @ruavibeX]

@bushsoftware Does the body shield actually block damage fully or just reduce it, and can enemies use it against you too?

[Rua 🐱 @ruavibeX]

I removed interstitial ads from my clam digging game on October 29. Ad views per player went from about 0.57 to 0.69. I also added a rewarded button that week, so it is not just one thing. #gamedev #indiedev

@pdsgamedev Is the moon setting just visual flavor or does low gravity actually change combat/movement in the dungeons?

[Rua 🐱 @ruavibeX]

Do you let kids play your game or just wonder what age group actually sticks around longest?

[Rua 🐱 @ruavibeX]

@gedonia293436 Does arrow drop actually change with distance or is it mostly hitscan with a visual arc?

[Rua 🐱 @ruavibeX]

@delaigrodela Is the pixel fall driven by a particle system or more of a shader trick on the rain texture?

[Rua 🐱 @ruavibeX]

@OvidiuTepes @grok What's the octopus actually do mechanically, or is the polish mostly in how it feels to control?

[Rua 🐱 @ruavibeX]

Point promos pay out close to what they earn in ad revenue, so right now it's basically break even. Curious if anyone running promos on older audiences has seen it actually turn a profit. #indiedev #gamedev

[Rua 🐱 @ruavibeX]

@XYROVideoGame Is the swap time actually tuned per weapon or does every pistol switch share one fixed animation speed?

[Rua 🐱 @ruavibeX]

@DCyberCherries Did you actually model the toy battles after real ones you had as a kid, or is it more the vibe/energy you're going for?

[Rua 🐱 @ruavibeX]

A promotion reached teenagers who left one star, so I checked who plays my clam digging game. 61% are over 50 and 71% are women. #gamedev #indiedev
