Super stoked to have the opportunity to showcase Lone Pine at the Zed Games + Netherworld Indie Dev Showcase! It was such a fun night and we got to meet and chat with so many talented folks ✨ I love this community! ❀️ @lonepinegame.bsky.social @flippingbits.bsky.social #indiedev

Also keen to play this! πŸ’š

🚨 Hello Brisbane friends! 🚨 We’ll be showcasing Lone Pine this Thursday night at Netherworld. Come say hi and check out what we’ve been cooking up. πŸ‘‹

NOT THE BEES!! 🐝 Dan has been playing around with particle effects in GoDot and sent us this πŸ˜‚ Sound on for max Nic Cage 😫🐝 #indiegamedev #madewithgodot

I've been using #FMOD in Lone Pine for 6 months now and wouldn't go back! I've still got so much to learn, but it's already gotten me composing with implementation in mind. Now I've just got to smash out a bunch of pieces to implement! πŸ˜… #gamemusic

We're excited to announce that we have full support for the Nintendo Switch 2 system! We can't wait to see what you come up with using FMOD & Switch 2 in the future. #NintendoSwitch2 #Nintendo #FMOD #GameAudio #Unity3d #UnrealEngine #UE5

It's #TrailerTuesday in Aussie land! That means I can share the teaser trailer for Lone Pine! πŸ‘€ Please consider giving Lone Pine a wishlist on Steam if this looks like something you'd be into πŸ§—β€β™€οΈπŸ“Έ 🌲 store.steampowered.com/app/3575850/... #indiegame #gameanimation

Can confirmβ€”have been playing Blue Prince with my partner Lachie every day for about a week and we are obsessed! It’s giving us so many ideas and inspo for puzzles! 🧩 100% recommend!!

So excited that Lone Pine is on Steam! 🌲 If you’re interested in point-and-click adventures, consider giving it a wishlist! ✨

I've got a festival deadline and a dream πŸ˜‚ Here's a sneaky screenshot from the Lone Pine teaser trailer I've been working on this week! Keep your eyes pealed - it'll be dropping soon πŸ‘€ #indiegamedev

Let's make @bsky.app THE place to be for indie devs pls and thank you.

I’ve been writing a track for the Lone Pine teaser trailer. Churro is trying to help πŸ˜…πŸŒ² #gamemusic

Run Izzie, run! Izzie can now be running up that hill in Lone Pine πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸŒ² #gameanimation #spine2d #godot

I've been playing with Rhubarb Lip Sync in Spine to see if it's feasible to do full lip sync for Izzie. I've limited her mouths and with minimal clean up I've gotten her to this point! Honestly for the time spent I think the results are worth it πŸ™ Lemme know what you think! #spine2d #gameanimation

πŸ€©β„οΈπŸ’™ pardon the pun, but this looks very cool!!

I really like that there is this undercurrent of indie games that just trusts you to be smart enough to figure it out yourself. And when you do the game doesn't go "good job!" but goes "Cool right??Omg wait till you see this!" There's a real dialogue happening between the player and the designers.

This looks right up my alley! Can't wait to give this a play πŸ•΅πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

I've had a few extra follows recently, so for starters huge thanks πŸ™βœ¨ For those that are seeing this: Hello, my name is Sam and I'm 1/4 of the team working on Lone Pine, a point-and-click-style adventure game set in a fictional national park full of cryptids πŸ“ΈπŸŒ² 1/2

Don't let yourself think that creating or enjoying works of art or pleasure is a selfish or wasteful pursuit. That's the whole point of being alive. It's what makes a fight worth fighting. You gotta keep space in your soul for beautiful things. You're a human being, it's what you're here for.

Great work by Sarah ✨ Particularly excited about the Frog Detective games getting some love - I had a ball playing through them last year! πŸΈπŸ•΅πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
