uuuugh I want to push a tutorial update but I'm afraid of breaking stuff but the changes make the controls way easier to understand but we're right in the middle of nextFest and I dont want to push a buggy update aaaaaaaaa

Aaaaand the steam next fest has started! I've setup a discord server if you'd like to follow the game more closely, check out the link below!

At some point I'd love to make a small game inspired by anthem's core 3Cs... For all its faults that game was an absolute joy to roam around in.

🥳🥳The Hypogea demo is officially labeled as 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 !!!🥳🥳 Thanks to everyone who played the demo and all the people who reviewed the game!❤️ It's been really heartwarming to see the positive reception to the demo. If you haven't played it yet, feel free to do so! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Iwata's book keep coming back to mind, just in the beginning of it it shines what is wrong with a lot in our industry:

Was very intrigued by the Monster Hunter Portable 3rd screenshot so I had to try it out, how the f does it look this pretty?? Definitely going to take some inspo from this...

Very cautiously updating the character controller for the demo with different assists/QoL tweaks, and I'm constantly double-taking every change just because I got so used to the clunky character controller I shipped the demo with. Lesson is : playtest early cause otherwise you get used to the jank!

I like it when video games look like this.

Hypogea's demo has now been out for a week! It's been so cool seeing so many people enjoy the demo these past days 🙏🥲 If you haven't played it, feel free to do so! It plays great on steam deck! If you already did and enjoyed the demo, please consider leaving a steam review, it helps a lot!

Glad people seem to like the non-verbal storytelling in Hypogea! Funnily enough I had imported a dialogue system at some point but after struggling to define what/how the NPCs would talk I ended up deciding to not include it! #gamedev #indiedev

“You crashed into an unknown asteroid belt. Explore this alien world, leap between asteroids and find a way to repair your spaceship.” Demo out on Itch and (soon) Steam gtibo.itch.io/wild-cosmos s.team/a/3051070 #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine

So thankful for how the Hypogea demo has been recieved, it means a lot to see people enjoy something I spent so much time on🙏🥲 If you haven't played it yet, the link is in my pinned Bleet! And if you did and liked it, it would mean a lot if you could leave a review! Now off I go to the bugfix mines!

Seriously great article, and it points out some VERY KEY details, like how despite EA considering it a 'failure' (and thus putting blood in the water for the bigot brigade), it sold more than many of the year's other high-proflile, award-winning and equally 'woke' RPGs.

Vibes report - day 2 since demo release :

Here's some Hypogea gameplay for #screenshotsaturday ! Want to try it out? You can already play the demo on Steam! ➡️ store.steampowered.com/app/3463790/... ⬅️ #gamedev #games #indiegames #indiegame #3DPlatformer #madewithunity

Aaaaand the demo is OUT! You can play it here! store.steampowered.com/app/3463790/... #3dplatformer #demo #steam #indiegame #gamedev

Almost there... 😓

Almost didn't notice that the input prompts were broken 19 hours before release 🤡 (It's fixed now you just won't be able to rebind outside of the main menu)

The demo for @zockrateslabs.bsky.social's Ruffy and the Riverside is almost out: coming to Steam on February 11th! and if any press or content creators want early access to it, we might have a key with your name on it! DM me or mail [email protected]!

A common gamedev misconception is that you might think that achievements are made to extrinsically reward the player. They are not! They are here exclusively so you can put puns in the titles and silly little doodles for the icons. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

Probably going to repost this a few times in the coming week but THE HYPOGEA DEMO IS COMING FEBRUARY 7TH!! Sorry if I'm a bit spammy I'm just both excited and worried about my lack of marketing 😓 #indiegame #indiedev #3Dplatformer #unity3d

Hypogea's demo page is available! 🥳🥳🥳 The demo will release on 𝙛𝙚𝙗𝙧𝙪𝙖𝙧𝙮 7𝙩𝙝 but you can already wishlist the game here : store.steampowered.com/app/3463790/... #indiegame #indiedev #3Dplatformer #unity3d

Really liked that game! Especially loved one specific scene that had a narratively very neat use of information prompts (that I don't want to spoil too much) Play it!

So on one hand I'm really happy with how the demo is progressing BUT on the other hand I'm afraid of reaching out to people to promote the game for next fest which in turn stresses me out because I'm not promoting the game enough 😓 #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

there was a mouse living in the oven mitt on our porch 🍂

Good🇨🇵morning~きんようび! #今日の過去絵

Background is done! Demo page is nearly done 😊

Reworking the key art for the demo! Still need to tweak it so it looks good on all the different capsules but I'm pretty happy with the rendering! Just need to see how I can render the background so it fits... #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

Here's an extract of the song, go check it out🏕️

Why do video games cost so much to make these days? A recent NYT article pinned bloated budgets on the graphical arms race, but that's only a small part of the equation. The real problem? Rampant mismanagement. This week's column is a spicy one: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

i just stumbled on this browsing itch, and omg 🤯 here’s this incredible curation of horror games. every type of interesting, beautifully dark, and scary game is here. if you love horror indie games then you need the painstaking curatorial work being done here: gavengelthegrim.itch.io amazing finds

I am really happy to announce that Hypogea will have a demo available for February's Steam Next Fest! You can already wishlist the game here: store.steampowered.com/app/2980260/... #indie #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

Here we go, something I've been drafting for a long, long time: how the US-centric approach to video games and their history / culture basically gaslights us who come from other realities: felipepepe.medium.com/the-gentrifi... AKA, why LAN Houses, PokéTibia & Bomba Patch rule.

So the switch 2 was revealed to a friend in a dream and thanks to their detailed technical drawings I am able to reconstruct this footage of the #nintendo #switch 2
