๐Ÿš€ Itโ€™s the last day of #paxeast ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ Weโ€™ve had such a blast hanging with you all at the Sol Mates booth and seeing your reactions to our demo! Thank you for the support! Last day for the Indie STAMPede! Try our fast pass to get your prize faster! And last day for @pinnyarcade.bsky.social!

Hey #PAXEast, let's talk about some games you should check out! โค๏ธ *cracks knuckles* @disorderedmedia.bsky.social oneway.exe #13097 Endless Night #17104 @standingcat.bsky.social Nekomancer of Nowhere #22086 DiningDeck #17114 @darumagames.bsky.social Sol Mates #15104

#PAXEast so far has been an #indiedev dream. We've gotten such a positive response from players, and the energy is palpable. Three more days of this is both daunting and exhilarating!

This is happening! Super looking forward to sharing the game, and meeting some fellow #indiedev exhibitors!

We've got crabs! Wait.

Check out Ra Ra BOOM several other amazing indie games at PAX!

This week in #gamedev, our artist modeled a cat. It is my new favourite asset in the game! I don't think I'd be a real #indiedev if I didn't mess around with it a little bit. Anyway. Giant Space Laser-Cat. For the fun of it. Watch out!

๐Ÿš€Sol Mates is a chaotic co-op space adventure thatโ€™s like Overcooked meets Star Wars - fast-paced, frantic & full of galactic mayhem! - vote on missions - pew pew space pirates - work together (or not๐Ÿ˜…) - defend your ship - fail - try again! #CoOp #IndieGame #trailertuesday

Hoppy weekend mates! ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿš€ #bunlife #indiegame #bunny #gamedev

๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ˜ Hey #gamedev & #indiedev going to #PAXEast! I'll be with a dev team showcasing a demo and I'm looking to get other indie game booths together for a fun stamp rally for attendees. If you're bringing an #indiegame and want to participate hit me up ASAP!

Today in serious #gamedev things, I built a key presser to help reproduce a nasty game freeze. Never let them tell you that an #indiedev doesn't deserve state of the art tools!

โœจIt's #wishlistwednesday & your Steam library needs more co-op games Sol Mates is a classic co-op space adventure where you & up to 4 of your friends work together(?) to: ๐Ÿš€Manage your ship ๐Ÿ‘ฝFight off space pirates ๐Ÿ’ชTake on missions ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿš€& live to see another day! #indiegame

there's always that one player ๐Ÿ˜… #gamedev #multiplayer #indiegame

I really really hope people do this for Sol Mates. I will love you forever if you take time to make art of our game.

This is such a cool video of everything we've been up to! #indiedev has been super rewarding, and it's crazy to see how much work we've done to get Sol Mates where it is now.

#indiegamedev when you are trying to build a temporary game over screen, but also still recovering from a terrible cold. #gamedev #indiegames #CanIEjectMySinusesIntoTheSun

Social Media: Do we have anything Valentine's related to post? Me: Is a bouquet of bombs too weird? I love #indiegamedev

#indiegamedev is all about trust. For example, when your coworkers asks you for a space couch, you can ask questions... or you can go get them a gently drifting couch. Seriously though, it's worth breaking up my day for these delightful little things. #gamedev #PlaySolMates

#gamedev and especially #indiedev is often a slow and steady thing. Gradually building up some traction while we work on some cool stuff to share that'll hopefully really build some interest. Big, thanks to everyone who has wishlisted already. Come check us out! #indiegames #PlaySolMates

This is my favourite weapon in our game, Sol Mates. It's so simple, one button to ready, and a second to fire. You have to go back and forth to fire it. But! With a player on each button you can just spam it as fast as you can both press the buttons! With a bit of coordination it wrecks things!

๐Ÿ’ฅWeapons Week! ๐Ÿš€ Let's talk Ray Gun - and not the break dancer. This weapon is great if your friends are busy on other stations bc you can operate it by yourself! Just remember to turn it off when you're finished or you'll drain the power cell ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿชซ #games #steamgame #space #pewpew

I tell the 1s and 0s where to go, and hope spaceships and lasers happen as a result.

๐Ÿ’ฅWeapons Week! ๐Ÿš€ ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿš€We've shown you how to charge your weapons but the real pewpewing can't begin until you load your weapons! ...I mean duh - you already knew that. But here's how you do it! #indiegame #gamedev #MadeWithUnity #gamedesign #pcgame #gamesonsteam

Weapons Week! ๐Ÿš€ We've been sharing design updates & playtests of our work on Sol Mates & now we'd like to show off our weapons system! ๐ŸชซBut before you can pew pew you gotta make sure your power cell is charged up! ๐Ÿ”‹ #gamedev #pewpew #indiegame

Our indie game for 15 seconds

Progress! It's a slow grind, but the continuous progress is really encouraging. Come check out Sol Mates!

This, but video games.

A blessing for #gamedev engineers: May you end your week with fewer compiler warnings than when you started it. (Today I am finally getting around to all the ones that have slipped through the cracks.)

How is your #gamedev going today?

How to fire a ray gun: Step 1: Find some friends ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿš€ Step 2: Plug in the battery ๐Ÿ”‹ Step 3: Load some ammo ๐ŸŽ‡ Step 4: Zippity Zappity! ๐Ÿ’ฅ #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #PlaySolMates
