I’ve been experimenting with a tiny physics game for the Apple Watch, mostly just for fun and to explore what’s possible on such a small device.
A big challenge was nailing each model’s corner radius and aligning the bezel to the gameplay.

A few months ago, I started building CiderKit.Tween, a #Swift6 package dedicated to animation and tweening in particular.

For my fellow #Unity game devs, think DOTween but for #Swift and #SpriteKit.

Version 0.5.0 has been released with several new additions.

My first macOS App Store app is now live and I am happy(ish) to talk about some of the very special aspects of making a complex document-based app in #SwiftUI with full undo, wrapping #SpriteKit and recording videos of playback, along with #metal preview.

Plus using @revenuecat with a home-made paywall for SwiftUI.

This is one of my #shipaton apps
so at least one is going to be a completed submission.

Gameplay progress preview. Disregard the tutorials, they need work. Added joystick buttons as testers complained about accelerometer controls. #gamedesign #gamedev #ios #indiegame #spritekit
I currently have a couple #indiegame projects in development for #ios. Some of them look better or more fun than others, but with game development you really need to try to see what sticks and inspires people!

When you are an #indiegame #indiedev you have crazy mid-development moments like these. I call this absolute "eggsanity".

Here's the new powerup asset demo. I still need to fix a tiny bug with scoreboard occlusion though.

The new power up items are looking great when scaled correctly! Just need to add couple more types of asteroids and the game will be ready for TestFlight. Ping me if you'd like an early preview.
