JD @jdwolfpgh here! I’m hijacking The Hippies page for a moment here as I’ll have unrestricted space to write this and likely the best reach to all of you.
I’m recognizing the real sincere interest in my #IndieGameDev especially Booty Diver. My day job and it’s unpredictable scheduling doesn’t necessarily afford me a lot of time to dabble in much more things outside my family and the hippies. As a result my game development and even my music has suffered.
I see all of you and your interests in my games. I want to do more with it and bring my games to you guys but in order for me to do it right I would have to go full time with it. This would even allow me to get more in depth with Hippies content too.
Going full time though means ditching the day job which means I would need to find a way of making at least $400-500 minimum a WEEK to keep my household running as normal while I work on the game(s)
The question is how? Patreon? GoFundMe? Simple Cash App/Paypal/Venmo donations? What do you guys suggest? Would you guys be willing to support it. Maybe a model where I put out weekly demos to those of you who support it.
I kind of feel like if I’m going to do something this life altering of a move now would be the time because this looks like the most support I’ve ever seemed to have since I started @XavierOrionGame back in 2013/2014
Please guys I’m looking for serious legitimate feedback on this. You all apparently want it and I wanna do it there’s got to be a way to make it happen but I need a concrete plan.
Thanks You Nerds
After roughly 4 years and a 1 1/2 years off from #indiegamedev #gamedev I decided it was time to continue work on Galacta Clash. This is my son testing it out. How are we feeling about Xavier Orion Games coming back in 2026? #indiegame #Steam #itchio #PC
*THREAD ALERT!!
So I have something to announce that i just recently figured out and decided on. Until sometime in the near future I am currently putting game development on hold focusing on my JD Wolf music (@maximoXjd) This is where my heart/soul currently is right now....1/5
In the meantime please consider supporting my music as JD Wolf follow me on the typical socials and you can hear my music on #Spotify #AppleMusic #Yotube and even my band camp page

Okay so i'm experimenting with a slight sprite modification beginning with the fish. Trying to make it more expressive kind of cartoon-like while staying close to the original style of Booty Diver.
what do you guys think?

Won't be around for #screenshotsaturday so here is an early look at the updated look of Booty Diver Rediscovered for screenshot Saturday

Worked in an entirely new background system that isn't tanking the framerate to 40fps...everything runs at a stable 60fps. I also think this looks nicer conveys underwater better

Took 7 years but I finally found the culprit to the memory leaks and what was eating the frame rate in the original Booty Diver on Wii U as I reared its head while swapping the old level design system for the new tile map based one which means I now have to rework the background
Did quite the redesign to Level 3 in Booty Diver Rediscovered....here are old and new #screenshots

For comparison sake...this is the old Booty Diver level 3 from the #WiiU version
Anybody notice anything strange in this screenshot? Look closely
