Cult of PiN v0.9.6 is up on @itch.io and #Steam if anyone has nothing better to do this weekend. Physics, curses, bumpers and scores all got a revamp this week. Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3144340 Itch: kennymakesgames.itch.io/pin #indiegames #demos #pinball #gamedev

Reworking the curse feature for this weeks #ScreeenshotSaturday, making them much more horrible, but at least now you get to pick which horrible thing happens. These also now replace the Blessing reward for the respective Act. Sorry but hey, it was too easy right? Right? #indiedev #gamedev #pinball

TIL the original Defender Of The Crown wasn’t programmed, it was computographed

New UI, Rituals, Glyphs and more are all crammed into the latest major update for Cult of PiN - check out v0.9.1 for all the changes (including a first pass at Mac and Linux support) or read the DevLog here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/314... #IndieGames #Pinball #Gamedev #IndieDev

I really want to get portrait/vertical mode setup for CoP so that: a) it works on vpins b) I can make YouTube shorts c) I can keep ignoring the all the rubbish things I don’t want to do #gamedev #indiedev #pinball

Are there any really good, demonstrably successful examples of a #solodev doing their own marketing that anyone can point me towards? I’ve accepted that I don’t have the slightest clue what I’m doing and need to learn, quickly. #gamedev #indiedev #marketing

The only good think about obsessively refreshing the Wishlist view is that you get to catch moments like this. Thank you x4000 to you each of these wonderful people! #gamedev #steam #indiegamedev #indiedev #solodev

For #ScreenshotSaturday, here's a WIP grab of one of the 8 new rituals I've been working on. In my head, this makes a sound like 'zjweee-thwit-bkoowww', but my head is also a really wierd place to be these days. #solodev #indiegamedev #indeidev #gamedev

40k+ players since the demo went live on @itch.io and #Steam. That is absolutely insane to me, thank you all I wrote a devlog saying pretty much this, alongside the roadmap to launch for CoP, and you can read it here: kennymakesgames.itch.io/pin/devlog/1... #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #solodev

Making a new trailer for CoP and this is literally all I can think of. #solodev #indiedev #gamedev

It's the last day of Tiny Teams 2025! 😭 Make sure you get all your wishlisting done by 6pm BST so you don't miss out on discovering these ABSOLUTE GEMS!

Capsule art rework finally done... ish. I change my mind on this every few weeks but hopefully it will keep me happy for a bit longer this time. Steam and Itch both updated, feel free to check them out in situ: store.steampowered.com/app/3144340 kennymakesgames.itch.io/pin #indiegame #gamedev

With the new upate out, I'm heading back to the capsule art. Progress pt 4. 100% only doing this so that if anyone points at the final outcome and mentions AI I can calmly and rationally not explode into pieces.

v0.8.94 is up on all platforms with fixes for stuck balls. That's not something you write everyday. #indiegamedev #indiegames #stuckballs

Logo rework WIP part 3. #steamart #indiegames #gaming

Need a short break from bugs, so continuing with the logo/capsule rework. Tunes on, head down, chill time. Sketch progress so far: #gamedev #gameart #indiegames #steam #art

Alongside the new update, and as if being a part of #TinyTeams2025 and #GIGF25 wasn't enough excitement for one week, Cult of PiN is now also a featured game on @itch.io. This whole week has just been a complete out of body experience tbh, somebody pinch me. #solodev #gamdev #indiegames

The new CoP demo is up on @itch.io with a brand new feature: Blessings! Powerful bonuses you can select after each act. Rituals have also been reworked to help smash that last bumper + other new stuff. Play on web or PC over at kennymakesgames.itch.io/pin #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #gaming

Been putting this off for way toolong but with the final touches added to the massive update (should be out later today), I can turn to the sub-par capsule art which has been annoying me for ages. A rough sketch of some tentacle goodness to start with, will post updates soon! #solodev #indiegamedev

Absolutely wild seeing my game on the big screen at @glasgowindiegamesfest.org, it blew my 7yo daughters mind and made me proud as punch. Well done to the event team for putting on a great show and thanks for having us! #indiegames #gamedev

Thrilled to share my schedule as an official creator for #tinyteams2025! Each day is outlined in thread. What games are you excited for? What did I miss? Hope to see you in chat, Monday-Wednesday Aug 11-13, 5 pm ET. @tinyteamsfest.bsky.social so excited! #indiegames #streamer #schedule #twitch

I got a fuckin' HEAP of keys from #tinyteams2025 so, I'm gonna be playing some of those on stream tomorrow, and next thursday and friday. There was this one called Crackernuts from hairyheart.games and holy fuck does it look like my kinda bullshit, so probably starting with that one tomorrow.

🎮 Tiny Teams 2025 is now on! 🎮 Check out this delightful smorgasbord of curated indie gems right here: store.steampowered.com/sale/TinyTea...

#tinyteams2025 Event has started on Steam! Lots of awesome games to check out, bunch of demos dropping during the event as well! We're a content creator for the event and good lord they dropped so many games on us to show off to ya'll! This is only some of the games I want to check out on stream!

Less than 24 hours since the browser version went live and it's just hit 500 new players. Asbolutely bonkers. A massive thank you to everyone who has played 🙏 and for anyone else, here's the link - go flip! kennymakesgames.itch.io/pin #indiegames #roguelike #gamedev #solodev

In a gratuitous bid to delay working on Mac and Linux versions, and with a tip of the cap to folk who just hate downloads, Cult of PiN Demo is now free to play in browser over on @itch.io: kennymakesgames.itch.io/pin #pinball #indiegames #solodev

It's been a rough time for games but one thing that's kept me going is the fact we're running a showcase for our student's games on the 7th of August at CodeBase Edinburgh! - Totally free to attend - 10+ locally developed games - Come support new devs 🧡 👉 www.tickettailor.com/events/mdesi...

UK users when the website asks them where they're posting from today.

People are sharing their promo code on Reddit so you can finally buy a #playdate! Whether it's for #gamedev or play true #indiegame gems! www.reddit.com/r/PlaydateCo...

Very excited to announce that Cult of PiN is an official selection for the #TinyTeams2025 Steam festival! I've been pushing to get as many fixes, features and polish into the Beta version, and released a new Demo as well. #indiegames #steam #gamedev store.steampowered.com/app/3144340/...

Had to put together this series of short clips for the @indiexpt.bsky.social submission, seems like a good idea to have done anyway - 12s of gameplay footage shorts probably works better than a full trailer for a few things. store.steampowered.com/app/3144340/... #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev

This is excellent news, but after a day of regularly refreshing, also, potentially depressing. #solodev #indiedev #gamedev

Celebrating #ScreenshotSaturday with a sparkly new trailer 🐙☄️ youtu.be/BbgRhdXbik0?... #IndieDev #GameDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGaming

The bajillionth iteration of the CoP capsule art. Kinda rushing it out to get a trailer end-card in time for a festival submission so will have to come back to this again soon for the bajillionth-and-one edition... #FeedbackFriday #indiegamedev #gamedev

Ok, hotfix patch v0.8.29 is now live on both #steam and @itch.io to fix this, with persistent saving between builds and a tutorial that actually triggers now. Hooray. store.steampowered.com/app/3144340/... kennymakesgames.itch.io/pin #indiegamedev #indiedev #gamedev

Just discovered the tutorial isn’t firing for the CoP demo, taking players directly into the first table with zero understanding of the weird-ass mechanics. Oops. At least that explains the lower median playtime recently… New build is in the works. Fml. #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegames

Got some random bedtime thoughts. Please ❤️ this post only if you think it’s a good idea, please ignore if you don’t (no hard feelings 🥲) What if we start a #FeedbackFriday for capsule art feedback from the #gamedev and #gameart community? The goal is to give helpful feedback to those who need it.

As a small, solo developer, there is no better feeling than finding videos of someone playing (and seemingly enjoying) something you've made. Thank you BitWarrior you wonderful being 🌟 www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTP_... #gaming #streamer #youtube #indeigames #gamedev

And the #Steam update is now live as well - check out the 20 new Glyphs, Curses, bug fixes and balance changes here: store.steampowered.com/app/3144340/... #gamedev #indiegames #pinball #indiedev

New game name, new game demo. ‘PiN’ is now ‘Cult of Pin’ and is now up to v0.8.36 on @itch.io, with a Steam build coming tomorrow. Devlog has more info and a link here: kennymakesgames.itch.io/pin/devlog/9... #indiedev #sologamedev #gamedev

More creepy tentacle fun for #screenshotsaturday #solodev #indiedev #gamede #indiegamedev

Early stages but sticking creepy tentacles on things reminds of why I got into games in the first place #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #solodev
