I keep a little physical calendar where I mark days when I work on #gamedev. It both pushes me a bit to not have zero days when I feel lazy, and adds a sense of accomplishment when it's full

I'm making a co-op glass brick breaker game. There was a bug making a paddle roll beyond the screen sometimes after a game over. But then I thought it looked funny and decided to make it a feature. #screenshotsaturday #indiegamedev #Bugs

I added sounds to the glass breaking game I'm developing, #Fracturix. It changed the game feel so much! #screenshotsaturday #soloindiegamedev

✅ Keep a prioritized todo list. It's your external memory. Whether you return after a day or 6 months, you'll know exactly what needs doing next.

🛠 Use good tools and libraries. They make development smoother and code more maintainable. Primetween is a good example here.

🎯 Stay focused on the goal (finishing the game!). Don't over-engineer. Better to refactor later than create an overly complex universal solution you'll barely use anyway.

💭 Document the weird stuff. When you MUST do something unusual, leave a comment explaining why. Future you will thank you!

📝 Make code speak for itself. If you need comments to understand what's happening, your code probably needs refactoring. Break everything into self-explanatory modules and functions.

After a nice break (vacations, 3D printing, Factorio!), I got back to gamedev. Instead of starting a new project, I came back to my unfinished game, Fracturix. Surprise - I could pick up exactly where I left off! Here's some good practices that I believe made this possible: 🧵
