I&#39;m a skilled programmer, but I can&#39;t draw, I can&#39;t make music and ideas do not come easily to me. It seemed an impossible dream. And yet, here I am. A 5-year project of pure passion and ambition is DONE. Soon, people all over the world will spend a few bucks and be entertained for a couple of hours. All because I followed a dream. Wild. #gamedev #SteamNextFest <br/><a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/1475310/Factory_Magnate/">https://store.steampowered.com/app/1475310/Factory_Magnate/</a><br/> <img src="https://cdn.masto.host/mastodongamedevplace/media_attachments/files/116/136/773/131/779/449/original/7eeb9e1884dd06cd.jpg"> <br/> 2026-02-26T11:50:26Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxvfws737kg649aw0g7agtzpl9yz5tvkt64ryzr8tv8rag2fqjwpczyq84pepvfzdtjewc29s0wzyhha8n46s4fj4en3g5f24d6qanc24qk0sjsxg In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsddahq2ecnvl88a0kfx6xtnhpmkjv4fmxsg3n0ck0euldmf2s8nhcsaz2k5'>nevent1q…z2k5</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I originally started out posting plenty of regular dev updates. With a few exceptions, no one seemed to care. Very few thumbs up, no comments. It felt like talking to myself. So I stopped. Every now and then, someone will then make a forum post claiming the game is abandoned, based on the lack of updates 🤦 Unless you have a large existing following, there&#39;s no way to win that &#34;game&#34; IMO 🤷‍♂️ 2025-11-06T19:07:09Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsfmlmu203plyq7xuk6lvrrcfwtxhuanj3qr3t3m77wc46d63hlz2szyq84pepvfzdtjewc29s0wzyhha8n46s4fj4en3g5f24d6qanc24qkkh760t In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspn2ccsessc4ydlmg2c7hlewk8s4522zg4wzjn6rghav3k3w9kqvq5qksyf'>nevent1q…ksyf</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yeah, none of that is a concern for me.

It really doesn&#39;t get any easier than that and is super easy to manage and maintain (if you know what you&#39;re doing). 2025-09-28T09:45:41Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxrgjwmx3h9xghqypgrrghq0sur8sf3kpm3vd0c57nxzeplcnkgvqzyq84pepvfzdtjewc29s0wzyhha8n46s4fj4en3g5f24d6qanc24qkfyl77y I finished the &#34;you won the game&#34; screen for Factory Magnate. Quite fun, and again, super super fast to do with #godot. All in all I think I spent 4 hours on it. So happy I jumped from libGDX a few years ago. That screen would have taken me several days to code up from scratch, likely a full week.<br/><br/>(No screenshot because I don&#39;t want to spoil anything.) 2025-08-22T09:39:02Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsvll7h0defesq9fh4cg5erucr955wsy9w2caw35xt4hzdcp07e4aczyq84pepvfzdtjewc29s0wzyhha8n46s4fj4en3g5f24d6qanc24qk26m0gz In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs04qpvluu2pue03quuavtgw7pr5kq5frkpw0xnsaryu4x7k46whdqwljktw'>nevent1q…jktw</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Looking so good.

This is a casual factory builder game I&#39;ve been working on for 4 years. I should have known about the &#34;Make factory builder game&#34; button in the pre built #godotengine <br/>Why didn&#39;t I just press that and save 4 years?!<br/> <img src="https://cdn.masto.host/mastodongamedevplace/media_attachments/files/113/215/714/023/882/384/original/2a2e55843873726b.png"> <br/> 2024-09-28T14:48:56Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqqyl4pjm8m3a6lqsapra4amh9tkwcaj682xjr90wzg6tnerwhmqszyq84pepvfzdtjewc29s0wzyhha8n46s4fj4en3g5f24d6qanc24qksmq8yn I&#39;m pretty good with UI and pretty bad with art. So I have this idea lingering in my head that my next game should be entirely UI or at least super UI heavy. Two game types come to mind: Idle/Incremental game and manager type game (typically sports related). Honestly not too excited about any of them. What would you pick if you had to?<br/>#gamedev #indiegame 2024-08-05T11:35:31Z
