Go watch @casicaviar.bsky.social play Avante! Atlantis!

Last year we played & showcased the awesome Avante Atlantis by @avanteatlantis.bsky.social on YT & this year we want to play & share as many of your games as possible. Please drop your demo links in the comments! #gaming #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiespotlight

It's officially been 4 years since I started development on #LookingInward!!!! I've made so many friends and worked with so many cool people up to this point ^^ Given that we're currently about halfway through Chapter 3, it's come a long way! (Promo art by @expatstudios.bsky.social)

Blwyddyn Newydd Dda!

And that's a wrap for 2025. Thank you all for supporting our tutorials. We're happy that our game dev content has helped so many. We're taking a break for the new year and will be back on the grind soon. Until then, take care and enjoy!

Our final video of 2025 covers object pooling for shooting. Object pooling is a great way to be efficient when shooting large volumes of prefabs. -> youtube.com/expatstudios <- #gaming #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #screenshotsaturday #unity3d

We hope you all enjoy a very merry Christmas! Time for us to crack on with getting a super awesome new Unity game dev series ready for next year. All the best! #indiedev #gamedev

With The Game Awards over, regardless of the results, it got us thinking—do indie developers get enough exposure and representation? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #gamedesign #indiegame

Thank you all very much for reaching 1.25K subs on YouTube. Your support continues to inspire us to level up our tutorials. We believe game dev should be free & accessible for all. #gaming #gamedev #gamedesign #indiedev #indiegamedev #Unity #Unity3D

What would you say is your split between game dev time and playing games?

Well deserved!

@tiny-gaming.net made a Demo Dive! for Avante! Atlantis and other awesome games! Go take a look :)

By the end of the year we'll release 2 new game dev tutorials. First, a rail shooter series like then an RTS series. Progress is going well. We'll share updates soon. In the meantime feel free to check out tutorials at youtube.com/expatstudios 😀 #gamedev #gaming #indiedev #indiegamedev

The weekend approaches! What will you be working on? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Sprites! We're cracking on with a personal project which got us wondering, how do you organise your sprite sheets? #gaming #gamedev #gamedesign #indiedev #indiegamedev #Unity

This is my game: store.steampowered.com/app/2586000

We're curious to know what game engine you enjoy using or building your projects on. We're currently using Unity. How about you? #gamedev #indiedev #Unity #Godot #Unreal

We see your projects in our feeds and they look awesome. Keep up the great work! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #Unity #Godot #Unreal #gamemaker #rpgmaker

Is this working? If it is, be sure to check out the Looking Inward demo! It's an RPG set within the human psyche where you navigate the Mindscape, make friends, and confront difficult thoughts and feelings! #indiegame #gamedev crookedbeaker.itch.io/looking-inward

Cracking on with our RTS structures. Left > right: machine factory, power plant, refinery, construction yard, barracks. What else should we add? #gaming #gamedev #gamedesign #indiedev #indiegamedev #Unity

Added a small detail, but a cool one. Units that deal splash damage (damage to anyone around the main shot, like the Artillery and Mega) will have a special VFX in battles showing debris flying around (with cool physics hehe) #indiegamedev #gamedev #game #unreal #steam #turnbased #boardgame

We've been having fun modelling some quick base structures for our RTS tutorial series. What have you been working on? #gaming #gamedev #gamedesign #indiedev #indiegamedev

If someone clicked on you in a RTS, what would your voice lines be? We wrote our own lines for a tutorial yesterday! "Yes, Sir?" "Your orders, Sir?" "You got it!" "Point us in the right direction!" "Reporting!" "On the move!" "Show me where to shoot!" "If it's for the cause?" "Affirmative!"

You asked & we answered! Check out our Unity tutorial on how to create a charge shot mechanic like that seen in Mega Man & Metroid Prime. Thanks to our community for the suggestion! --> youtube.com/expatstudios <-- #gaming #gamedev #unity #indiedev #IndieGameDev

It's a long way off yet but we enjoyed making horror game themed #Unity tutorials a while back. If you have suggestions please drop them below. 👍 #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #halloween

If you have a suggestion or request for a #Unity tutorial please feel free to let us know. We enjoy the challenge & learn something new ourselves. This request was for a charge shot in 3D. youtube.com/expatstudios #gaming #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #metroid #megaman

It's been a while since we sat down & did some sprite work. The question is, what type of game could it be? What do you think? 🤔 #gamedev #gamedesign #digitalart #sprites #retrogames #indiedev #indiegamedev
