The Vale of Pnath is a valley in the underworld and location of a city of the same name. In the bone filled streets, ancient, broken buildings rise up, and provide access to basements and nether regions of that place where the dreaded Dholes burrow. #ScreenshotSaturday #Nightgaunts #DungeonCrawler

The Elon Musk nazi salute question reminded me that at some point, we had let a neo-nazi symbol slip into ZodiacLegion: Someone on Twitter pointed out these runes were also a neo-nazi symbol now, as they were used in the castle of Wewelsburg, the SS, called the Black Sun.

Early Access release on Friday! I planned to release Cyclopean: The Great Abyss in 2024, but it still needs some time to bake. Early Access will help me polish out some of the rough edges. #EarlyAccess #CRPG #IndieGameDev Wishlist here: store.steampowered.com/app/2958790/... Tell your friends!

ooh Regency Solitaire II got a mention at the start of this Polygon video all about solitaire! www.youtube.com/watch?v=kY6D...

Germany's age rating is also an issue for demos: If the demo steam settings are not updated(even if it doesn't have a dedicated Steam store demo page), it will also be delisted from Germany. Thanks to @talecrafter.bsky.social for detailing the process here: steamcommunity.com/app/941460/d...

Total soutien à AtlanGames! Les petits studios ont vraiment besoin de support pour démarrer. C’est aussi l AddOn un super événement qui est remis en cause par cette décision !

I just found out that on some player computers, the game would halt to a crawl when loading a level, briefly leaving fullscreen (as if alt tabbed). It should be fixed now: Stay tuned for more coding tips!

Cat’s out of the bag, Emily will be one of the members of the first ever GDC Game Trailer Microtalks panel! Also, you can get see her behind-the-scenes work on the Evolve Originals channel RIGHT NOW 😃

⚠️ IMPORTANT #INDIEDEV INFO ⚠️ If you haven't completed the age rating content survey, your #Steam page is now HIDDEN in Germany due to very recent policy changes! This is important EVEN BEFORE RELEASE, cause your entire Steam page will be inaccessible. 🚨 Look at how this massacred my wishlist! 😭

As with all shiny toys, I went a bit overboard with tapestries in @ZodiacLegion. I'm pretty sure the layout of the room doesn't comply to fire safety recommendations. #screenshotSaturday

Indies, go here ASAP to add missing information to get your Steam games re-listed in Germany: partner.steamgames.com/healthcheck/...

Here is a great usecase of getting Claude AI to write code for you (in cursor): The designer sent me an aseprite file that would be impractical to turn into a tilesheet (as lines are not horizontal). The solution worked out of the box, but would add part of the other tiles :
