I'm having WAY too much fun with my side project atm! Working on something that isn't too heavy on story or atmosphere and more focused on mechanics and silly fun. It's a tower defence where you'll be able to build your own towers and unlock so much stuff! #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev

I streamed some game development today! Here's some proof:

I hope to be able and show off a bit of my tower defense project soon. A video with some commentary! Super early stuff but I hope it might be interesting for some 😛 Im having so much fun atm with making new mechanics and balancing numbers! So different from the story-heavy stuff I'm used to. Haha!

I feel personally attacked. Only difference is that I gave up and now I'm trying to get started again. Halp.

I just finished a few hours of work on a project I shelved but started a few year ago (no, not Partum Artifex, sadly) and I had so much fun...! It's outside my comfort zone, it's slow progress, but it's fun to learn and create...! I've missed this feeling. I hope it'll stay for a while 💚

Happy New year everyone. I hope that 2025 brings some joy in my life a new start perhaps. 2024 wasnt enough, apparently, so here's hoping. 💚 ... I think it's obvious I'm not a big fan of new years.

❤💚❤Happy Crimbim, Merry Chrystler, Jolly Holidurf! ❤💚❤ #happyholidays #merrychristmas #christmas #christmastree

Happy holidays! Share it with your friends! I have plenty of free keys for those who either can't afford it or are just generally interested in getting the game 🥰 store.steampowered.com/app/2069760/... #steamsale #gamedev #gamdeveloper #indiegame #horrorgame #horror #indiegamedev #indiedev

Happy holidays! I hope you all are having a wonderful time with family and friends. The game is now on a record-low sale on Steam to celebrate the holidays! ❤️💚❤️ As always: If you know someone who still can't afford it, send me a PM. We'll sort this Christmas for them! 💚❤️💚 #gamedev #indiegame

I seem to have been added to a starter pack or something. I'm beyond excited! :') I hope that I can fill your timeline with some fun stuff in the future!

Question. You can't claim AI work under copyright... no? If that's the case, it would be fair play to copy all of it and post it on other platforms. All these upcoming AI generated articles from EDGE and co. could just be put on other websites without any problems, right?

#gamedev Bisky! I'm designing a house where my game will take place (two floors + attic + basement). I'm looking for a good Windows app to make floor plans for my level/environmental design. Ideally open source, or at least not super expensive. No online tools, preferably. Any recommendations?

I realized I don't have a pinned post... Hi Bluesky! I'm a game designer & graphic designer, spend way too mich time playing games! Here are a few things I love: - Diablo 1, 2, 3 & 4 - Red Dead Redemption 2 - PoE - Modded Minecraft - STALKER - Silent Hill 1 & 2 and... - Level Design - Chickens!

Well... I dont expect many likes, but this could be very fun! A really tricky list to fill out 😅

As Bluesky gets more popular with time, more bots will show. Just renember that on this platform they cant purchase a damn checkmark to market their voices as much. I hope that wont happen here... I understand ads, I wouldnt mind ads to be here as long as they are controlled!

Did some more work on the game today, more organizing for the level design. So... nothing much to show, but know that progress is being made! 👍 #indiegame #indiehorror #horror #horrorgame #indiedev #gamedev

Yeah, this. It's not that people are giving positive feedback, it's that most people here seem to have brains - kind brains at the very least 😁💚 I feel like you can get fair, constructive feedback here rather than negative rude opinions. #indiedev #gamedev #gamedeveloper

My favorite thing about Bluesky vs. X is that it is Discussions vs. Arguements, angry, close-minded arguements. Here, people are generally open and share their mind without losing their shits and going into name calling. I'm so damn happy to have jumped ship. 💚 #bluesky

When you are let lose as a level designer into the realm of surrealism, juxtaposition and nightmares... then it is fun (and hard) to keep adding new cool areas for the player to explore! But... maybe the gameplay need some work as well... 😅 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #gamedeveloper

God damnit. I keep adding areas to the game when I should be focusing on making it fun! Gosh darnit!!! I havent had this much fun in quite some time tho... lol!

Here's a tip for you game developers out there: Eat food. Don't forget to eat! No. Don't skip on your food to crunch another hour because "you're in the flow". Stop. Let your butt breathe a little and make something simple for yourself! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame

🎵 It's the most wonderful time of the year...! 🎵

Had a quick look at some animations today... I think this area will be one of the more *interesting* ones. :D #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiehorror #horror #horrorgame #gamedevelopment

Oh... #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiedev #horror #horrorgame #workinprogress #WIP

So close to 300 wishlists ! Grateful for every single one :) #gamedev #Steam

I've always doubt me and my skills as a game designer and level designer, but at the same time... I've proven in some ways that I'm at least "good enough" and I've been crawling in the mud for a long time. Maybe I should start posting about it more... #gamedesign #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev
