    @shecodesthings getting down to business 👩‍💻☕ tackling a rework with the combat battle system for #awitt ⚔️ . . Dayumnnnnn her setup lookin' fiiiiiinnnnneeeee ❤️🤣🔥
    @shecodesthings going live in 5 minutes with some #gamedevelopment testing and planning #codinginthedark no less 👍 #kitty cam today (let's see how long that lasts) 🤣
    @shecodesthings is #coding on #twitch today. First time streaming so she's super nervous😱 give her some encouragement! ❤️ . . She's got some light music on in Spotify and a coding cam pointing at herself typing lol. She says: Progress is slow with the million bugs right now 🤣🤣 . . Getting there 👩‍💻👩‍💻👩‍💻 - you can do it Amina! Fighting!
    Got a Kitty cam going today 🔥🔥 Experimenting with #twitch again 🤘😁🤘 . . More #hollowknight shenanigans ⚔️⚔️☠️☠️
    @shecodesthings stream didn't save from last night 😂 such a #twitch noob! She didn't have the settings set up fully. Still doesnt! But slowly but surely eh? ❤️ . . #hollowknight shenanigans again tonight, she gets the feeling she'll be playing this for a good while! She's half asleep so let's see what happens 😅😅 haha👍
    🕹️🕹️So @shecodesthings has been getting a lot of people asking her if she STREAMS ... 🤔 . . Well she does now! Haha... Today is her FIRST STREAM ever on Twitch @pointlessbuttonstudios 🕹️🕹️... . . She'll be noob platforming on #hollowknight today 😂 feel free to watch her epic failing in perpetual motion 😳 ⚔️⚔️ ☠️ . . #indiegamedeveloper at play 🕹️
    @shecodesthings is ready to set off on a game dev debugging adventure with her handy rubber duck syndrome Batman! 🤣 . . As a lonely coder on her team she often has to find ways to get things done but still keep the process fun and motivating. And tbh it isn't always like that, taking on a complex game is intimidating and she's learning new things everyday! The journey is the grind! Growth is a huge part of being a coder 🕹️ and getting comfortable in an unknown space is practically a 💥 coder superpower 💥 . . 🤔 On Debugging 🤔 Though print statements are a good way to start a simple debugging process, don't be afraid to use debugging tools in your IDE . . They are not only helpful if you give them a chance but faster to setup and find complex bugs and side effects 👍 . . Use post-its & comments in your code to aid your thought process, and place reminders on your phone and take breaks when your brain fizzles out! 🐌 . . Get out your pen and paper ✏️ your whiteboard, your drawing tablet, whatever! And make code flow charts 🗒️ Talk to a friend or your own version of a rubber duck 🤣 🐤 . . At the end of the day, if you've been coding for a while, you'll automatically develop your own style! 🎩 But just remember to keep your eyes 👀 and ears open to improving your process, because if you don't - it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking you're becoming an old dog that can't be taught new tricks 😮🐕 . . Mentality is a huge part of coding, so keep your mind open and positive and be ready to learn from your peers and switch up your style and experiment 👩‍🔬
    🔊🔊 SOUND ON 🔊🔊 . . There seem to be a lot of misconceptions about coding sometimes 😶 - I don't really think it's as "glamorous" as some people like to think it is. Coders aren't geniuses ... (though some could be!) but they do "think" in a very different way than everyone else 🤨 . . Coding can give you serious feels haha - from feeling absolutely godlike one second, to a total dingus the next second 😆 The process of code isn't always clean and slick like most people think... It can often be messy and chaotic, especially with game development... but any coder worth their salt; tends to have some skills in their toolbelt besides technical know how and they are: . . 1. Resourcefulness 👩‍💻 2. Adaptability⚡3. Persistence 👍4. Patience [Sometimes a whole heck of a lot is required] 5. Overconfidence 😆😆 [How else would you constantly create things that you have no idea how to create?] 🤣 . . Today our programmer: @shecodesthings is starting to flesh out a CombatAbilityManager for the #awitt #indiegame & is planning out the structure of how she wants it to work with her existing combat system 🤔 . . Sometimes after thinking & planning, white-boarding your diagrams of code flow and looking through your code for the 3rd time - you decide: 'f**k it, let's just code it' 😶 because sometimes, the act of coding and doing, gets those brain neurons firing⚡⚡ . . So here's a sneak look at her haphazard process today... Even though I'm sure she's "confident" that she'll get it down pat soon enough 😆👍 . . 💃 Messy desktop, Messy code!? Messy hair, Don't Care! 💃 haha 🤣 . . . 🎵🎵 Zedge Music Creds: Retro Gamer by Petes Treats 👍
    🔊🔊🔊 . . @shecodesthings typing in some UI implementations today 🤘😆🤘 Gotta get that inventory double click working ❤️ . . 🎵 Music creds: Zedge Darth Vader 8 Bit by SlapTop 🎵
    Dun dun dunnnnn! Indie Game Dev! It never ends! This is actually not too bad 🤣 progress is progress am I right? Getting there! . . Tis be the life of a single lonely coder @shecodesthings haha 😆 delegating some of the straight forward tasks would be heaven but alas, woe is me 😑 . . 🎵 Music Credit: Zedge Game of thrones 8 bit by fred_west 🎵
    😶😶 Helpppppp!!! That moment when you realize you're looking for bugs in the wrong damn place! . "Where did you come from and where did you go?!" 🤣🤣 . Never a dull moment with #gamedev ❤️ . . #coding #womenwhocode #womenintech #unity3d #indiedev #indiegame #indiedeveloper #technology #game #developer #programming #videogame #gamer #bossbabe #code #coder #deadpool #breakthestereotype #codequeen #girlboss #awitt #programmer #gamedeveloper #gamedevelopment

    So our #gamedesign -er Brad recently had a superb #cinematic #recording session with our #soundesigner @mikeromaniak 🎧🕹 After a few takes, Brad really got into #character and blew us away with his newly acquired #voiceacting skills! 😮 It was such a collaborative piece too, the cinematic #script was written by our writers ✍📖 and collated and re-drafted by Brad and @ryvianstyron 🕹🖱 There was some prompts and instructions put in by Amina (She actually read voice actor articles lol), which was great for specifics, but what really really really brought it to life 💪, was following #awesome advice from @mikeromaniak, it was #amazing 👀 to see him in the sound zone with all his #badass sound equipment 🎧 and learn about so many new things, there's nothing like working with a #Professional !!! . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Things are starting to #lookpretty 🤘 Definitely have some #gamedev visual resolution things to tweak as @dark_mechanic will surely agree 😌🤗 #gaming #videogame #indiedev #indiegame #indiegamecompany #indiegames #indiegamestudio #funny #OMG #coderlife
