Happy holidays, everyone! πŸŽ„ Taking a bit of a break from #gamedev and from social media until the new year - see you all in 2025! πŸ˜‡

More Seal of Solitomb exploration! Trying to figure out how far I could push 2D monster art by adding depth and movement with a shader ✨ #gamedev #indiedev

The Steam Winter Sale is on! Normally, I'd post some nice Slipways screenshots and a link, but this time, you get this heartwarming recent review instead - from a person with 1460 hours of playtime 🀯 Okay, I'm still doing the link πŸ˜… s.team/a/1264280

Just a reminder that Solitomb plays perfectly well on a phone (and even better since the 1.1 update!) πŸ’‘ All you have to do is direct your phone's browser to krajzeg.itch.io/solitomb - once the page loads, you don't even need an internet connection anymore πŸ™ˆ #pico8 #gamedev #indiegame

The 1.1 update for Solitomb is out! πŸ“£ This is the final content update to the #pico8 version, featuring: 🫎 new monsters and abilities πŸ“± improvements for mobile play ☠️ rebalancing and difficulty tweaks Play it here: βš”οΈ krajzeg.itch.io/solitomb βš”οΈ #gamedev #indiegame

Possibly *the* feature of the upcoming Solitomb 1.1 update! πŸ˜‚ I mean, there'll also be 5 new items, 2 monsters, a new difficulty level, mobile improvements and balance changes - but we all know petting clouds is where it's at πŸ˜‡ Coming out this Monday! πŸ“† #pico8 #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Just played a very fun Solitomb build focusing on high-ranked cards - something that's much easier to put together with the new post-update abilities πŸ€—

Almost ready with the #pico8 Solitomb update! πŸ€— Still testing some of the new additions πŸ› οΈ #gamedev #indiedev

Working on a new monster for the upcoming Solitomb update! πŸ˜‡ These iron golem dudes are tough customers indeed 🦾 #pico8 #gamedev #indiedev

Super proud of @icedropgames.bsky.social and @letibus.bsky.social for launching LOK Digital today! Great game! Go play! πŸ™Œ

The old knight ~𝘒𝘳𝘸

Fingers crossed for @itchio.bsky.social returning as soon as possible! Much love guys, this whole situation sucks! ❀️ In the meantime, if you need to get your Monday Solitomb in, you can now play on solitomb.com as well (though unfortunately, there is no way for savefiles to carry over).

Unfinished #pixelart

I just finished Arco. It's lovely and you should play it. And by you I mean any person who likes cute pixelart, great music, solid storytelling and reasonable difficulty that makes fights fun but not too challenging. store.steampowered.com/app/2366970/... #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev

If you're bothered by flashing or screenshake in Solitomb, you can turn them off in the main menu πŸ’‘ There is also a speed slider if you find the game hard to follow or sluggish. Not always easy to fit those extra features in when working in #pico8, but worth it πŸ€— #gamedev #indiedev

All 15 elite monsters in #Solitomb! Have you met them all yet? Looking to add one more in the upcoming small update - what's a classic fantasy RPG monster that's missing, in your opinion? #pico8 #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart

Working on a tiny content update for the #pico8 Solitomb before I plunge into exploratory work for the big one 🀫 Important #gamedev rule: theπŸ‘‚ must combo with the πŸ‘οΈ Also, why is it so hard to #pixelart an ear in 8x8 pixels? πŸ˜…

As promised I present the Game Dev BOOSTER PACK | comment below with an image/video if you'd like to be added to the pack!

Solitomb is getting an UPGRADE! πŸŽ‰ The response to the #pico8 version has been great πŸš€ I'm extremely happy to say I will be spending the coming months working on a bigger, better version! Please share the news! Links and more details downthread πŸ‘‡ #gamedev #indiegame

Just listened to the Noclip Crew Cast episode featuring Solitomb, and I learned a profound truth about #gamedev: If your name is not pronouncable to English speakers, don't pick a handle that's even worse πŸ˜‚ youtu.be/4kRs5ZGCwP4?...

everything i have learned about game development has convinced me of two things: - anyone can make a game - it's actuallly impossible to make a game

Did I hear GIF support? 😱

A tiny edit to the Solitomb logo! 🎨 Trying to keep the same #pixelart vibe at a very different resolution πŸ˜… #gamedev #indiedev

Since I have your attention with Solitomb... I also made Slipways, and it's currently on a 50% sale on Steam and Itch (links in thread) πŸš€ If you're into strategy, space, 4X or indeed *good games*, now is the best time to see how a #pico8 conversion can go! #gamedev #indiegame

Did another pass over #Solitomb code to make room for one last update (we were at 8190/8192 tokens before 😢) Got some space now for a tiny bit of content or some UX improvements! πŸ”§πŸ’ͺ ... or bugfixes, if need be 😱 #pico8 #gamedev #indiedev

Kneesvember Day 26 (1/2)

Today was the most busy day yet for #Solitomb! After spending a few months pouring my heart into it, there is no better feeling than seeing people enjoy the thing ❀️ Looks like it's time to figure out how to make the expanded version happen! 🫒 #gamedev #indiedev

"Has no right being this good"? Coming from a guy who plays *all* the roguelikes? I'll take it 😊 New vid from @haelian1.bsky.social - shows a good chunk of gameplay and teaches rules, so another good one to start your #Solitomb journey with! βš”οΈ youtu.be/jSce_36FeFw #pico8 #gamedev #indiedev

A small thing I'm very happy about is how nice the @itch.io thumbnail came out for #Solitomb 🍬 It's just such a clean loop and manages to show the gameplay off in a nutshell 😊 #pico8 #gamedev #indiedev

"I have been playing on two skulls and I will *not* turn the difficulty down, because I am a stubborn child." Aren't we all, @sbmakesstuff.bsky.social, aren't we all πŸ˜… Cool new #Solitomb video, with a nice breakdown of how the game works! 🧐 youtu.be/wo48V6xn2eo #pico8 #gamedev #indiegame

Just pushed a patch for Solitomb, fixing one measly bug πŸ› krajzeg.itch.io/solitomb/dev... Very happy with how smooth this release is going. When you go from a few playtesters to thousands of players, things tend to break. Not this time, though - maybe I'm finally getting this #gamedev thing 🀫

Update on my pixel art guide for beginners: Transferred all the information from Tumblr to a Google Doc, so anyone who doesn't have a Tumblr account can now read through the whole thing! I also updated quite a bit of information too. I hope it will help somebody! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Hello there! I'm pixel and non-pixel artist and from now on I'll be posting my artworks here πŸ’… #pixelart
