Making a game engine where tags = everything. player_controlled, can_walk, can_jump, camera_follow — all from tags. Objects too: remove solid → boulders fall, add carry + throwable → pick up a bush. That’s Tagspire. First clip below ⬇️ #gamedev #indiedev

Will eventually add an animation for the wall sliding state to make it clearer.

New video: wall jump mechanics are in. Movement is tighter, states are cleaner, and the system now emits proper jump/landing events for effects and polish. Air jumps (2x, 3x, even more) are supported, though not shown here. #GameDev #IndieDev #PixelArt #Platformer #Python

The goal is full editability: every entity, handler, tag, property, and sprite will be configurable directly inside the editor. No external files, no manual JSON edits—everything adjustable in one place as the engine grows.

After last week’s systems→handlers refactor, here’s a first look at the modular editor: tabbed metadata, particle swapping, handler browser, and instant jump to the sprite editor. Everything is modular and ready for more tools to plug in as I expand. #gamedev #indiedev #python

10+ obsolete systems removed, logic moved to handlers. Nothing looks different yet, but everything’s faster and cleaner under the hood. #DevLife #WIP”

For anyone curious, particle behavior is fully metadata-driven: "particle": { "on_exit": { "size": 2, "count": 15, "type": "leaves" } }

Anything tagged waveable now reacts on impact with a wobble + sprite particles. All of it is fully metadata-driven — type, size, count, wave amplitude, everything. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #madewithpython #pygame #gamedesign #devlog

This is how much a laptop cost in 1989

Internet works on Windows 95!!!!! Can visit websites now with MSIE 3 Just had to set the network card IRQ to 10 and I/O base to 300 Yeehawwwww 🤠

Wife’s gonna be so mad when she finds out what he spent his money on

💥 Playing with explosions Added the explosive tag to the vase — now it explodes when thrown! 💣 Explosion radius, wave speed, and damage are all configured in metadata, so each object can behave differently. In this short test, the player picks up a vase and throws it — watch it

ONE MILLION OPTIMUS BOTS A YEAR? TESLA’S JUST WARMING UP Elon’s calling it the fastest production ramp in history – and he’s not exaggerating! Scale Mode: •⁠ ⁠Fremont pilot line targeting 1M Optimus units per year •⁠ ⁠Gigafactory Texas aiming for 10M •⁠ ⁠Mars

Valve has announced their new hardware lineup: - Steam Frame - Steam Machine - New Steam Controller The Steam Machine will be 6x more powerful than Steam Deck

Moving explosions into the handler system — almost there! Core mechanics are working, just needs a bit more polish. Video shows some early testing of the new setup 👇 #gamedev #indiedev #pygame #platformer

Fresh gold in Tagspire! Check out this quick dev vid showcasing the new 3-frame sparkle animation on those shiny collectible coins—making every pickup feel like a mini celebration. Tweaked in Pygame for that buttery smooth loop. Who's ready to hoard some pixels? #Pygame #GameDev

Bobbing, swaying, and other effects are ready — just need to apply them to objects. Excited to see it in action soon!

New sprite effect in Tagspire! Lanterns (and anything swingable) now react when bumped — with smooth animation 🔥 #IndieDev #Tagspire #GameDev

Testing the new dim light handler — when an entity with can_dim_light touches one tagged dimmable, the light fades slightly. Subtle effect, but it really adds life to the environment. #GameDev #IndieDev #Pygame #2DPlatformer

Testing the new dynamic edge sensor system — now generated during gameplay instead of being preloaded. Edge grabbing still needs a bit of polish, and there’s a random damage bug left over from recent core changes. Just showing progress and testing stability. Work in progress —
