Early development on Moonlight Cow: Guardian of the Night.. but stomping these Nightling enemies is fun. #pixelart #gamedev #indiegame #platformer

Working on something new... Moonlight Cow: Guardian of the Night. Here's an early look of this waterfall I am working on for World 1 Level 1. #pixelart #gamedev #indiegame #platformer

Working on a morality system for Blood on the Cheese! Choices push you between bad / neutral / good — rescue hostages for good, or cross the line for bad cop status. Your reputation will affect how NPCs treat you and how the story unfolds. #PixelArt #IndieDev #GameDev #devlog

Releasing my first game taught me a lot. Finishing is hard — the last 10% felt like 90%. Not everyone will get your vision. If you don’t believe in it, no one will. Publisher rejection can hurt My first game didn’t sell much, but it’s done — and that’s worth celebrating. #indiedev #gamedev

Working on something new... I'll be dropping info on it soon but wanted to share a little teaser of some art sketches I am working on. I can tell you there will be some crime and shady things going on in this mouse city.... #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart

Got the test print of the table top card game I developed that is in the same universe as the upcoming video game Checkout Blitz: The Shopping Dead. Very excited!

What’s everyone working on? Me: 1. Converting Checkout Blitz’s input system to Rewired (for Atari VCS) support. 2. Buttoning things up before the launch of The Shopping Dead Card Game 3. I’ve been sketching up the next game idea as development on Checkout Blitz is wrapping up. More info to come!

Ordered the prototype components for The Shopping Dead Card game.... its a physical card game that ties into Checkout Blitz: The Shopping Dead (video game universe). I am pretty excited about it. Peace!

Business week… reaching out to publishers, streamers, and press. Looking forward to the Holiday weekend and unplugging. Then back into wrapping up development on Checkout Blitz: The Shopping Dead

Had a great weekend demoing Checkout Blitz: The Shopping Dead at @jafax-gr.bsky.social. Next Up is the Cleveland Gaming Classic! #indiegames #roguelite #gaming #conventions #gamedev

NEW TRAILER DROP! Get ready for Checkout Blitz: The Shopping Dead — the fast-paced zombie-smashing, grocery-grabbing arcade roguelike you didn’t know you needed. youtu.be/FZt0CKG9cVE #indiegame #gametrailer #roguelike #zombiegame #Steam #CheckoutBlitz

Long day of working on Checkout Blitz and deploying a build to Xbox. Happy to say we got the game up and running on Xbox hardware and mostly optimized. Need to work out a bug with Player 2 controls but that’s all for today.

Game dev…. The final 10 percent of building a game is the hardest.

Its really hard to watch videos about how you need 10k wish lists on steam and to look at your numbers day after day and see 275... Whoever wish listed in the last 24 hours to bring me to 276 today thank you for giving me some hope. bit.ly/3LOr8Qe #indiedev #gamedev #rougelike #indiegame

🐾 New stage unlocked: Paw & Order Where justice is served… with squeaky toys and zombie parrots. Navigate toppled kennels, pet food chaos, and undead critters in this fur-filled nightmare. You’ll need more than a lint roller to survive. Coming to Checkout Blitz #indiedev #gamedev #arcade #atarivcs

🍟 New stage just dropped: McZomby’s Fast food meets slow death. This greasy nightmare is now part of Checkout Blitz: The Shopping Dead — complete with fryer hazards, zombie crew members, and absolutely no health code compliance. Would you like fries with fear?

Being an indie dev feels like shouting into a void sometimes. You spend months (or years) making something cool… and then wonder if anyone will ever see it. But every wishlist, every like, every “this looks fun!” — it means the world. So if you’re seeing this: thanks for being here

Mini-game idea: What if Checkout Blitz had a top-down racing segment — like a busted shopping cart derby? Just whipped up a test… and now I kinda want to finish it. Should I add this to the game? #indiedev

🎮 Throwback vibes: I always loved the “Pick a Chest” game from Super Mario Bros. 3 — so I made my own version for Checkout Blitz. Pick a box. Get a reward. Or… get zapped. (No refunds.) 🧟‍♂️ Arcade chaos, shopping list style. #indiedev

Today I watched a zombie bird swoop in, steal a player’s last required item, and fly off like it paid rent. This is not how I thought my game would evolve… but I love it. wishlist: bit.ly/3LOr8Qe #indiedev #gamedev #roguelike #CheckoutBlitz

New enemy: zombie birds 🧟‍♂️🦅 They don’t want brains… they want batteries, bread, and whatever is in your cart. They fly in, steal your stuff, and leave you questioning everything. Nature is healing. In the worst way. Wishlist: bit.ly/3LOr8Qe #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity #roguelike

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! #mothersday #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

We just gave our zombie boss a new charge dive attack — rises off-screen, locks onto the player, and SLAMS down. It's fast. It's deadly. It's hilarious. Welcome to Checkout Blitz: The Shopping Dead 🛒🧟‍♂️ Wishlist: bit.ly/3LOr8Qe #ScreenshotSaturday #indiedev #gamedev #roguelike #CheckoutBlitz

New enemy WIP: zombie birds 🧟‍♀️🦅 They swoop in, drop chaos, and ruin your shopping trip. Just like real birds, but grosser. Still tuning their behavior, but they’re already a menace in Checkout Blitz: The Shopping Dead. Wishlist: bit.ly/3LOr8Qe #indiedev #gamedev #roguelike #CheckoutBlitz #WIP

I loved the mini games in Super Mario Bros. 3 — especially the "Pick a Chest" one. So I’m building my own version for Checkout Blitz: The Shopping Dead 🧟‍♂️🛒 Pick a crate. Get a reward... or maybe something else 👀 Wishlist here: bit.ly/3LOr8Qe #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity #roguelike #minigames

Working on the first boss battle to Checkout Blitz: The Shopping Dead — a giant flying zombie head with modular attacks. You're not done shopping 'til it says you are. 🧠🛒💥 bit.ly/3LOr8Qe #indieDev #bossBattle #roguelike #arcadeGame #soloDev #gamedev #wishlistWednesday #madewithUnity

Just finished adding class progression to Checkout Blitz: The Shopping Dead! Start as a Grocery Gofer, rise to a Checkout Champion. How do you reward progression in your roguelikes? store.steampowered.com/app/2621760/... #indieDev #gameDevLog #roguelike #pixelArt #soloDev #gamedev

Working on gun mechanics in my arcade roguelike (2D, no twin-stick aiming). Right now: shoot forward & up — debating if diagonal shots are worth it or overkill. Thoughts? Would love feedback! Rough example but looking for some help. 🎥 Prototype: youtu.be/A5tpwfYyBdI #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d
