One of the most important steps that any game developer ever makes. Adding a cat to the game. Ginger because I too am ginger 🐈 #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #blender #unity

Howdy #PitchYaGame ! I'm building a lofi fantasy shop game called Dungeon Bodega Simulator! Grow crops, raise slime pets, discover secrets, and brew potions! We got a demo on Steam, and trying to release within 6 months 😁⚔️ store.steampowered.com/app/3458180/...

Here's a sneak peek at our new game: Fright Train! 🐶🚂 It's a TRAIN SURVIVAL HORROR game inspired by Resident Evil 4, set in Antarctica. WISHLIST down below! 👇 #survivalhorror | #indiegame

Will do the full proper TikTok upload later, but wanted to show off a bit of my character process! As a game designer and not an artist, I had to get creative and find ways of editing existing assets (like this great Villagers pack from mcsteeg on Itch) to expand the world. #indiegames #indiedev

It's getting colder but never fear... the coziest event of the year is almost here! ✨ Cozy Quest returns for 2025 on November 17, bringing you discounts, reveals, developer interviews, the Cozy Quest awards and more! And with almost 300 games taking part, it's the biggest one yet! #CozyQuest2025

Hey folks, new month so time for another SHOWCASEY! #Showcasey If you are an indie developer with an upcoming game, reply below with a description or elevator pitch of your game and make sure to include a link to your store page. Let's get some eyeballs on those games! (NO GenAI!)

i owe so many video game designers an apology

Ok little mini patch for the demo to fix a bug that was totally our bad, causing the order screen to glitch on day 3 and break for the rest of the demo! Thanks @blaqkcat.bsky.social, @cdub77.bsky.social and more folks that reported this!! You can now again play through all 6 days of the demo 😺🎉

Hope ya'll are excited to get that forge running!

Hmmmm...?? Wanna come find out tonight?? 👀 👑 twitch.tv/blaqkcat 👑

The soundtrack for Dungeon Bodega Simulator will be available on streaming / Steam when the game comes out! Wanted to create some custom album art for it in the dungeon synth style, and I think it came out pretty good. Will post the links when its all uploaded :D #albumart #indiegame

We're trying to figure out how to make a sexy TikTok about building out save system, but its working now!! Also enjoy this vid of a prototype for the upgrades system! Its working, and you'll be able to use it in the demo here soon. Expect this to be greatly expanded on in the main game! #indiedev

Extremely good article, worth a read! We cannot ignore the weight of our narrative themes or settings. Cozy does not have to be conflict-free, and this article does a good job identifying the sort of spineless innoffensive product that gets shoveled to cozy gamers

still thinking about this article today. so many societal ills are caused by people white-washing what actually happens. it's awful to see games do it too. can't wait for cozy domestic violence simulator or cozy kkk simulator

The Mailroom DEMO IS AVAILABLE NOW #indiegames #horrorgaming #horrorgames #godot #gamedev

Skate Story is the best Nextfest demo I've tried so far. you're a demonic skater trying to eat the moon and getting menaced by philosophy cops. I learned to ollie by touching a forbidden monolith. parts of it are soundtracked like a Jon Bois video. can't recommend enough.
