I happily obliterate art details in the name of 90s aesthetic. #indiegame #gamedev #b3d

Rollick N' Roll is OUT NOW! 🎉 store.steampowered.com/app/3274880/... #indiegame #gamedev

This is what the brand new 'oi!' button does and I'll never change it. #indiegame #pcgaming

Sometimes this is what designing a puzzle looks like. #gamedesign #prototype

Finally. HUD. Here's a close-up of the retro prerendered goodness that will adorn the borders of the screen. #indiegames #b3d #UIDesign #oc

Tiny announcement: we have a Linktree now. I mistakenly thought it was a site where you go to show hole (their logo doesn't help)... while you WON'T find that sort of thing on ours, what you WILL find is a handy hub of everywhere else we exist online linktr.ee/slumpscreative

Check out the new psychofraculating screen effects for moments when you're messing with the world and sticking things where they shouldn't belong #indiegame #puzzle #godot

2026 is the year that I make an effort stick to a nigh-monthly newsletter schedule. You're probably missing out on secret subscriber content, sign up before I send out the next issue! slumps.net

Honestly mate fair play, I'd do the same if I had loads of money. #lifegoals #indiegame #godot

Right now my dialogue boxes are a big blank canvas ready for some personality, so I put some more thought into theming HUD elements. Here are some concepts trying to go for the look of crappy old handheld games - y'know the kind with calculator graphics and yellowing plastic and peeling stickers?

This Sewer Henge piece is now available in wallpaper format from the free gift pack that can be found on slumps.net! #freebies #art #giveaway

I've been doing some concepts for future areas of the game! This is a special location I'm calling Sewer Henge, for obvious reasons. Rubber boots recommended. #gamedev #art #procreate #adventuregame

Whoopsies, I just remembered that I'm supposed to actually be posting content on this "social media" thing, my b

Recently been working on some screen and particle effects! Does anyone recognise that swoosh sound? #indiegames #VFX #screenshotsaturday

I spend a lot of time visiting the British Isles via Google street view, doing research and getting reference for the game. Sometimes I play roulette and drop somewhere completely random. You never know what you'll get.

Let me show you a very special prop from our game, and walk you through how it was made (please don't tell others my secret technique) #indiegame #gamedev #b3d #3dart #shadowwizardmoneygang

Adventure game lovers should definitely play The Drifter by @dave.powerhoof.com, which I finished recently and thought was excellent. An actiony take on the genre which propels you through the story and I really loved the dark, pulpy Australian setting. store.steampowered.com/app/1170570/...

Presenting today a render of a very important Battenberg cake

Rosewater, my Wild West adventure game, has been out nearly 4 months and has been very well-received! But I also feel like it’s reached a fraction of its potential audience. If you can spare a repost and help spread the word, it would be greatly appreciated! www.grundislav.games/Rosewater.html

What's a point & click game without cursors for pointing and clicking? Figured these should be pre-rendered sprites to fit with the crunchy 90s aesthetic - what do you think? #indiegame #b3d #retro

Here's some concept art for some weirdos you'll meet early on in your adventure. No, they're not Simpsons, maybe I should call this style Slumpsons. #conceptart #indiegame #simpsons

We've just put together a free gift pack for all subscribers to the Slumps newsletter. You'll be in a group so exclusive and secret, even the FBI will deny its existence. Go on, you deserve a CYBER GIFT. Just sign up via the form at slumps.net

Was doodling some ideas for game UI. I'm a fan of that retro maximalist aesthetic, but maybe it's too controversial for this day and age!

Have you played our game Quazar's Claim yet? It's a quick and frantic arcade miner - keep the drill fueled and collect those tasty gemeralds without being crushed to death. How deep can you descend? slumps.itch.io/quazars-claim #indiegame #arcade #retrogames

Last year I painted this piece of key art even though at that point the game was mostly just some ideas in a document. It's cool to get those ideas into something presentable you can show to people early. #gamedev #conceptart #adventuregames

I didn't have anything to end the vid about Pip, so yes, I did paint this real quick for one single gag so here's the time lapse #jinglingkeys #visualASMR

Introducing the main character of our game! He's just a little fella who is excited to go out into the big world on his own for the first time and I'm sure nothing will go wrong and traumatise his small developing brain. #indiegame #gamedev #b3d

Pre-rendered pubs? Straight to the ref folder.

You (yes, you) should be on our mailing list! I'm spinning up a maybe monthly newsletter where you'll get cool sexy content too powerful to put here. It'll be the best way to follow development and there will be some fun bonuses for subscribers. Sign up on our website today!

I like to do a little doodling. #gamedev #indiegame #conceptart

There's a pretty specific vision for the game and it's inspired by a bunch of different things: 90s point & clicks, British comedy, Terry Gilliam's movies, Orwell's writing, Thatcher's reign, funny regional accents, white guys doing reggae, and so on and so on.

Here's what the first area in our game looks like! Hope you liked games from the late 90s, because that's what you're getting. What do you think this game is about?🤔 #indiegames #gamedev #godot

Uhhh hello. We should probably introduce ourslumps. Ourselves. SLUMPS is a game dev endeavour by me, @patgrant.bsky.social. I'll be sharing updates about the game I'm making on this account so y'all get to followin', y'hear now?
