What topics would make you want to listen to a #podcast talking about #indiegames? Our´s focuses on #indiegamedev ´s making the games we like, talks about how they got started, what motivates them, tips for fellow devs and funding. Maybe we need to re-think our focus? What do you think?

A recent interaction here got me thinking about alignment in games. In TTRPGs alignments tend to come as part of gameplay: spells, abilities, even character customisation may play off of it. In games, it is more like a reflection of the player's choices.

I was on reddit earlier and someone asked how a game like Noblesse Oblige can have +500k words (actually about 750k XD) when the entire LotR trilogy is only 500k words. I thought the answer was interesting and worth sharing. #indiedev, #indiegame, #solodev, #rpg, #turnbased, #gamedev

If your dream game feels "too big", but it’s what keeps you motivated, work on it. Break it into small, achievable chunks like a smaller project. Creativity has no scale. #indiedev #gamedev

Super excited to see the world theme for Everveil is now available on streaming platforms! Here it is on spotify! open.spotify.com/track/2Bw6Pt... This track was made by the wonderful @arcaneanthems.com who really brought the dream to life.

When working in teams, two qualities are absolutely vital. Respect and Empathy. They are self-evident, but I like ranting, so why not dive in? When we respect each other, it decreases friction. When we empathise with each other, it increases enthusiasm.

Testing out a lives system for the boss, though i dont know if it'll stick as its not in the rest of the game. I might just add a retreat option in the settings. I havent decided yet. lmk what you think! #pico8 #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #pixelart #umbragame

Getting back into the swing of development after the holiday period and really enjoying it. Sometimes you just need to start fresh and give yourself a bit of space. Right now I am working on the music system for our game, and it's a lot of fun! Maybe I will post how it works later? #indiedev

I spent the last few weeks looking back on my 2024 & compiling my big dreams for 2025! 2024 was a banner year — I actually broke my record for YouTube views 😳 which feels especially huge because I worked SO hard on my video process in 2024! Now I'm all fired up for what this year will hold!

This is still one of my favorite monster designs I did so far. Who doesn't like a knuckle-walking gorilla-horse right? Sasqwoosh is based on the extinct Chalicotherium. It can create eery mist in the dense forests it inhabits. #gamedev #indiedev #art #illustration #conceptart

In Everveil, magic is something inherent in all things, yet it is a mysterious force that does not strictly follow rules. I like the idea of a magic system that is both understandable, and with enough chaotic complexity that it is not fully controllable.

Check out this awesome piece done for my game by @joofaloof.bsky.social! It shows the protagonist on their way to "work". #indiedev #indiegame #conceptart
