120,000 fuse combinations! This is a perfect example of a custom tool.

It's been a while, but here's the custom tool microtalk session from GDC 2023! It's in the GDC Vault, but somehow not paywalled. And I'm not going to complain. Featuring @JarrydHuntley, @thisisstar, @CliftonB, @chasebethea, @HenningBoat, and @WritNelson! gdcvault.com/play/1034155/I…
wanted to share some tools i made for gvh's rhythm gameplay! beatmaps are editable in-game & let you quickly sync everything to beat: gameplay, animations, lipsync too! so reed accurately drums along with the song if you've used unity's audio api, you'll know how tricky this is!
This is major. @CyrolisDev made a tool that lets you make your own Hyper Light Drifter character! CHECK IT OUT and share your creations below! cyrolisdev.itch.io/hldcreatortool 👇👇👇👇👇 #HLDCreatorTool #hyperlightdrifter #fanart #gamedev #pixelart
Making decent progress on Dig Dig Boom's level editor. Here's how I use a layer of invisible data tiles: #indiegames #leveleditor #GodotEngine #gamedev
If you like the custom game tool #GDC talk yesterday, there'll be a roundtable session at 2pm in the south hall, room 306. That's in 20 minutes! See you there?
I'm giving a talk on custom game tools at GDC today at 4:10pm, in the Independent Games Summit, with 5 other devs who have built and used their own custom tools. Afterward, I'll let people know they can tweet to me here with questions and examples to share, so keep an eye out!
Wtf - I haven’t seen this tool I made for StarFox 2 for almost 30 years, I wrote it in early c++ to teach myself the language more than anything else. Where the hell have hackers got all this obscure data from????!!

This is so much fun to watch. Love the procedural elements refreshing with each change.

Always on the lookout for custom tools to share with the world! Drop me a line if you'd like this account to tweet about something you've made to help build your game. It's cool if it could be used on other projects, but it should have been built with a single purpose in mind.
Sometimes a single tool just won't do the job. @Robotality uses a whole suite of tools they've built for scripting, modeling, layout, basically everything they need to work on Pathway (pathway-game.com), which looks incredible.

Going to GDC? Check out the Tech Toolbox microtalks that'll discuss custom development tools used by your fellow game devs: schedule.gdconf.com/session/tech-t…
🔧 The Most Important Part Of Writing A Video Game Is The Tools 🔨 an excellent talk by @leighalexander about half an hour into this podcast: kotaku.com/the-most-impor…
A little trick for effortlessly getting Google Sheet data updates in #unity3d designagame.eu/2018/02/gettin… #gamedev #unitytips
Here's the editor built by @9bitgames used to craft the adventure games you'll find at 9bit.io
Such a great idea for those of us without a million hours to re-track every character's every animation with every item in a game.

Back in 2013, the @Clobbr team used a custom Google spreadsheet to create their grid-based levels by laying out solved puzzles and then scrambling them: imgur.com/a/DPxei#0
Sometimes your engine isn't enough to get things done. What have you built to help your development process? Let's chat about it sometime!
