This weekend I’m working on the Wave combat mini-game. Planning to add aliens, robots, and heroes with Star Trek/Star Wars-inspired abilities. My bro and I are going to test it out and see where it goes — hopefully something fun (and maybe a little chaotic) comes out of it. #UE5…

Yesterday, I let my 4-year-old try Amaze Adventure, our first game my bro and I made together. It’s a kids game with elemental cards and puzzles, and he actually loved it — kept asking to play more. Watching him, I realized the game’s audience fit isn’t quite right: complex…

I uploaded a new build to our dedicated server on @edgegap today. Doing a short playtest to feel out the lag. If it’s smooth, I’ll keep development moving. If not, I’ll pause and spend the time optimizing network performance. Experience has taught me that I'll probably be taking…

My bro and I were discussing game stories, and we agreed on a few key things that make them resonate: Character growth needs be something the player experiences personally through gameplay. Growth should have highs and lows like a wavy rather than straight line — just like any…

😅 Procedural ADS isn’t working! The animation mesh keeps messing with alignment accuracy. Disabling it for now so I can move forward. Guess I’ve got some IK homework ahead. #UE5 #gamedev #indiedev

Debating this weekend: push out a mini game test, or keep stacking systems? Sometimes building features nonstop gets… tedious. A little playable test might be the spark that brings the fun back. 🔥 #gamedev #indiedev #FridayFeeling

ADS is finally looking smooth thanks to procedural aiming 🔫 Now any weapon can slot right into the FPS system and #UE takes care of the alignment. Huge win — feels like unlocking a level in this project. 💪 #gamedev #indiedev #UE5

Match lobby updates rolling in: ready-up system, player profiles, chat. It’s finally feeling intentional. Loving the progress so far. 🙌 #UE5 #gamedev #indiedev

Anyone else sink way too many hours into Orcs Must Die?👀 While testing wave spawning, I kept thinking of it — which got me thinking: what if I try a mini test game that’s Star Wars meets Star Trek, with that style of weapons + tower defense traps? Would you play that? 🚀⚔️…

Our #UE5 game template now has a full game loop 🎉 Multiplayer wave spawning already feels like a mini game on its own. Switched gears to procedural ADS for the FPS part — got it "working" in 1 hour… then spent 12 more hours trying to make it actually work as intended. #gamedev…

Work continues on the new UE base system. It’s steady progress — shooter features are shaping up, racing is next. Piece by piece, it’s turning into something really versatile. 🛠️ #GameDev #UE5 #IndieDev

Started a new UE base project we can both build from. Packed with movement, AI, networking, single/multiplayer, and dedicated server support. The goal: spend less time on the basics, more time on the fun stuff. 🚀 #UE5 #IndieDev #GameDev

After wrapping Exit Strategy, I feeling a little burntout so dove into some bug-fixing on our previous games. Updated Portable Ops, Amaze Adventure, and Exit Strategy… my bro handled Truck Titans & Instruments of Peace. Nice to keep everything polished up. 😎 #IndieDev #GameDev…
