I’ve spent 5 years creating the game of my dreams and today’s the day we launch it. 10-year-old Case scribbling video game ideas in his school books would have never thought he’d see this day! I hope you enjoy playing Flynn as much as I had developing it. Thank you so much.💜

An important aspect in any game that is often overlooked is keeping your hitboxes fair. Don't ruin an amazing game with questionable hitboxes! #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevtips

Coyote Time. A very important feature that gives the player a fair "safety net" for an otherwise missed jump input after leaving a platform. #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevtips

Jump buffering. It's a nifty little feature that will add *a lot* more flow to your game. This can also be applied to almost any action! Shooting, melee attacks, dodge rolls, even menu selection. #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevtips

Subtle effects used with your game's player objects such as jumping, landing and running aren't just there for polish. Even while it adds a lot of visual finesse, there's still much more to them! #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevtips
