It's slowly coming together. I'm aiming to have a demo ready for the Steam Fest, although the pages will probably be made public a bit before that.

I'm doing it this time. Pre-rendered everything. The game itself is a spiritual successor to an old Gamemaker project of mine. It was a sort of top-down platformer, but it did not age very well and it glitches out on Linux.

For whatever reason this sale didn't let people claim the games. I extended it a few hours and that seems to have fixed it, I guess the servers got possessed for Halloween.

60% SALE ON EVERYTHING INCLUDES NEW PRODUCTS LASTS FOR AN INDEFINITE TIME rohhsa.com

One last surprise for #Halloween: during the next 3 days (October 30-November 1) you can get my Steam projects with least reviews, 100% off on @itch.io itch.io/s/163778/hal... #spooktober #horrorgames #gamesale #indiehorror #horror

Also, my (much better) projects are discounted for the #steamsale. Plenty of surreal horror with wild gameplay mechanics here: store.steampowered.com/bundle/26010... #halloween #october #spooktober #steamsale #steamscream #screamfest #horror #horrorgames #indiedev

Screw my dignity. "Captain Poweryarn: The Juegazo" is now released on Itch, and 100% for the #halloween sale. apehardware.itch.io/flesh-shark-... A messy Unreal game that takes mascot horror and turns it into a surreal, unrecognizable thing. #october #spooktober #gamesale #indiedev #horrorgame

Yeah, it's finished. I've been unsure of what to do with it. I'm personally not the biggest fan of it, but compared to the usual mascot horror it's an OK game. I'm considering making it available on Itch for 1$ and discounting it 100% for the Itch Halloween Sale, just to see how it goes.

After all the issues I had with Odiumfloreo post-release, I've been thinking all of the constant gameplay switch-ups I put on my larger games aren't worth the effort. So I made this small point-and-click thing to test out a simpler approach: apehardware.itch.io/the-noisiest... #spooktober #horror

Releasing NOW. Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3956560/... Itch: apehardware.itch.io/odiumfloreo Also, everything else by me on sale: store.steampowered.com/bundle/26010... Happy traum... I mean October. #october #spooktober #indiegame #solodev #indiedev #horrorgame #steam #steamsale #horror

🜏 My game TEOCIDA is on sale! 🜏 Great chance to give it a chance. "Solve riddles, puzzles and platforming challenges as you descend the cryptic pathways of a distorted microcosm reality fueled by a symbolic landscape of faith and erotic nightmares." store.steampowered.com/app/1569470/...

Fun fact: Odiumfloreo originally was a scrapped concept for a fangame that mixed FNaF and Enviro-bear 2000 of all things. Here's a post explaining everything I could recall about it: gamejolt.com/p/the-never-... #indiegame #gamedev #horrorgame #godot #solodev

Forgot to post it here, but Odiumfloreo got a few upgrades before release in the form of minigames. 3 of them, 5 levels each, all centered around physics-based nonsense. Releasing soon. #steam #steamgame #indie #indiedev #indiehorror #horrorgame #godotengine store.steampowered.com/app/3956560/...

A friend is making this little game, a silly co-op golf 2D platformer. I tested it out in its early stages and it was quite funny. #Indiegame

The final decision has been made: screw Next Fest, release it earlier because it's done (Except testing. Testing is never truly done). store.steampowered.com/news/app/395... #steam #steamgame #indiegame #indedev #indiehorror #horrorgame #godot

There's a good chance it's going to release earlier than October 31, but I'm undecided if I should wait until Next Fest 2025 is over or don't hold the game and release it on early October. The full Steam devlog post: store.steampowered.com/news/app/395... #indiegame #indiedev #nextfest #Steam

The Steam page is up: store.steampowered.com/app/3956560/... Aiming for a Halloween release. The new version will have brand new mechanics and a new "point-and-click" section to expand the jam version's almost non-existent plot. #indiegame #indie #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #Steam #horrorgames

Sayonara Sigil Sentry might get some company in the "jam game updated and posted to Steam" in the near future...

Took part on the #GMTK game jam. The theme was "loop" so I made "IMMORTAL JELLYFISH WITH GUNS", a bullet hell shooter in which the character loops through different forms with an unique attack each. itch.io/jam/gmtk-202... #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #GMTKJam #GMTK2025 #GameDev #GodotEngine

An engine made by a million-dolar company and it decides to not fucking load menu buttons on the exported build. I needed a break so I reworked an old game I was disappointed with, Terminal Veil. New mechanics, new plot, new levels. And I'm finally happy with it. apehardware.itch.io/terminal-veil

Forget cutscenes, we have doodles. (It's obvious Unreal really tires me, isn't it?)

I'm reaching the end of this project and I need some feedback. I'm thinking of telling the instructions and plot using diagrams, sorta like SCP-2521. ¿What game mechanics do you think these pictures are trying to explain? #indie #indiedev #indiegame #horrorgames #solodev #unreal (1/2)

It's that time of the year again: #SteamSummerSale ! All of my experimental nightmares will be available for less than 2$. store.steampowered.com/bundle/26010... #Steam #indie #indiegames #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #indiehorror #horrorgames #SteamSale #SummerSale #steam #madewithgodot

The Apehardware activist arc is real. Behold, the "fuck algorithmic social media" jam game: apehardware.itch.io/literal-doom... It's basically playable doomscrolling, plus eldritch horror.

Trying to get back at doing pre-rendered visuals so I don't have to rely on stock images for everything. This was done entirely with Blender (and some GIMP filters), no photo textures. Haven't touched this kind of style since my FNaF fangame era (...vietnam flashbacks...).

Lately I've been moving my stuff (email, file hosting...) to EU/Open source providers to avoid US Big Tech (Steam and Itch are fine, they stay). Today I've something few dare to. I have deleted my Google account. My game trailers are now on Peertube: videos.abnormalbeings.space/c/apehardwar...

To be more specific, the game is about the Altri pulp's company to build a *massive* pulp factory in Galicia (northwest Spain, the bit above Portugal) despite massive negative impacts for both the environment and the nearby rural areas. There's even a protest movement currently accepting donations:

Tags in the hope it gets more attention since it links to a protest movement. #indiegame #indie #gamejam #protest #resist #politics #anticapitalism #oligarchy #socialcommentary #fuckCorporations #fuckCapitalism #fuckOligarchy #protestart #ecology #AltriNon #UlloaViva #Spain #España #Galicia #Galiza

A few days ago I found out Itch.io has a "fuck capitalism" jam. And there's a controversy going on in my province about a corporation wanting to build a highly polluting factory. So my entry for the jam was a merciless critique of said company. apehardware.itch.io/destrozaltri

Without a Dawn, my visual horror novel, is now available on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3145620/... The reviews are super encouraging, thank you for your support! 💚💛 #visualnovel #indiegame #horrorgame #steam

This is still happening, I'm just really slow with Unreal (and I fucking hope to never see it again after I complete the course) and I'd rather do stuff with Godot. Needles to say, the "mascot horror" element is going to be a satire of how the genre has become an excuse to sell crappy content.

New game jam project out now: "T: (M, E, A)", a turn-based game in which actions are determined by coordinates on a board. Featuring a short, vague and definitely apolitical plot about a native Siberian shaman fighting invading mechanical biblical orthodox angels. apehardware.itch.io/t-m-e-a

!EMERGENCY! !EMERGENCY! !EMERGENCY! PILOT. THE DAY HAS COME. 10 BEASTS SHALL ARRIVE. WE SHALL DEFEND. ON TWISTED FLYING RUNES. THEIR SHALL BE WRITTEN. AND THEIR POWER DEPLETED. MARCH ONWARD. SAYONARA. SIGIL. SENTRY. store.steampowered.com/app/3576590/...

Crisis adverted. See you tomorrow, pilot.

There might be a slight delay. The game is finished but I ran on an issue trying to promote the OST's author since Steam doesn't allow links to their track Soundcloud page. We found a fix by linking their Instagram (www.instagram.com/un_operator/), but the game is still pending review by Steam.

So the #Steam #SpringSale it's on, and as usual all of my stuff is 50% off. Good chance to get that savefile bonus for Sayonara Sigil Sentry... store.steampowered.com/bundle/26010...

The Steam page for Sayonara Sigil Sentry is up! store.steampowered.com/app/3576590/... 4 new bosses and more lore await. I'm currently working on the final boss, and, how do I put it without spoilers... ...things get crazy.

The situation has been solved thanks to the power of "find and replace": apehardware.itch.io/terminal-vei...

This is still being worked on, but I'll rather not show all of the new bosses until the Steam page is set up. In the meantime, have some out-of-context pictures from the new cutscenes.

Now Leucanthemum Eyes is on Steam for wishlist! store.steampowered.com/app/3519990/... #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

I'm considering hiding/deleting Terminal Veil. The game has a few vague references to the Soviet Union and late Tsarist Russia, and it just feels wrong with the current shit going on. It's like publishing a game about German Folklore during the 1930s. Also I don't like how the gameplay turned out.

It won't be the last update. I'm currently working on a Steam version with 4 extra bosses. One of them is complete at the moment, and the remaining 3 are planned. The game will be free, but I added a little bonus for owning my previous games in the form of unlockable color palettes based off them.

I found this strange game on my new pc. It's a dating simulator with an angel. I modified it a little to make it playable and I already uploaded it to my itch account kuraishimi.itch.io/secret-game-... #indiegame #visualnovel #indiedev #liminalspace #dreamcore

Guess who's is slightly less obscure!

And it's finished! Introducing "Odiumfloreo", a small physics-based nightmare in which you throw around floaty objects to stop... something from doing... something to your body, and fend off strange creatures. apehardware.itch.io/odiumfloreo

The jam's over so here's a post-jam update for "Sayonara Sigil Sentry". Now with a tutorial level and more lore: apehardware.itch.io/get-in-the-f...

Got some progress done. It sorta plays like a mix between FNaF and Enviro-bear 2000 (the dark times when I tried to make fangames for the former shall forever haunt me). Once again it's a spooky game about body dysmorphia, because "Me and My Eldritch Parasite" wasn't blunt enough.

Didn't know about Super Video Golf? Go check it out! It's massive, and the dev keeps adding cool updates. I've been hooked since 2023, with over 400 hours in. 🐄⛳

I don't know who I am, I don't know where I am, but I know I must make small fucked up jam games. At least until I get the energy to work on another Steam game. I don't think I'm going to be able to make something the size of Pseudo-Haunting for a long while...
