Thank you @waytoomanygames.bsky.social for the delightful feature in Indie Wednesday! A lovely celebration of #solodev, and an honour to be mentioned ❤️ #indiedev #gamedev waytoomany.games/2026/07/01/i...

After 2 years of work, I can now announce Cult of PiN will be coming to PC on August 10th! A Pinball Roguelike where you smash bumpers, collect upgrades and overcome gravity-defying bosses Wishlist Cult of PiN on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3144340/Cult_of_PiN #indiegames #pinball #pcgaming

A small patch today with some minor QoL changes and bug fixes, v0.12.7 is now up on @itch.io and #steam: Itch: kennymakesgames.itch.io/pin steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3144340?... #gamedev #pinball #indiedev

I forgot to turn a couple of recent demo videos to “public” on YouTube recently 🤣🤣 Anyway, Cult of Pin ROCKS. This was my first run through the demo! @kennymakesgames.bsky.social youtu.be/zGp6peRtNN4?...

And it's live! Demo v0.12.0 is now available to play on @itch.io and #Steam with new localisations, boss spells, balance updates and bug fixes. Devlog and patch notes here: kennymakesgames.itch.io/pin/devlog/1... #indiegames #pinball #indiedev #gamedev

Endless mode gets a bit… wild after a while. maybe time for a balance pass. #indiedev #pinball #gamedev #roguelike

Fans of pinball + languages other than english are hopefully in for a pleasant surprise in the next update #gamedev #pinball #pcgaming #indiedev

I wasn't feeling the best mentally this morning, but after playing Beyond the Plastic Wall (Motvind Studios/@arteinteractive.bsky.social), Dungeon Hotpot (Renala Games), and Cult of PiN (@kennymakesgames.bsky.social) I'm in SUCH a better place.

More Boss Spells/Shader work tonight: chains that pull balls back towards the drain if they get too far. #pinball #indiedev #gamedev #roguelike

Ended up working on a shader that only shows the area directly around an active ball, will likely be a boss spell/debuff in the next build #pinball #indiedev #gamedev #roguelike

New trailer time! Finally got the time to piece together some clips of the new content and replace the almost 12-month old trailer that was up on steam. This is just a short teaser trailer for now, the full vid & launch date will be revealed soon... #gamedev #indiedev #pinball #roguelike

A quick demo patch is now live with fixes for some of the recently reported bugs - read more here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/314... Or just go check out the demo on #Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/3144340 #indiegames #gamedev #pinball #roguelike

Another patch out this week thanks to some great community suggestions - v0.11.15 is now live on Steam and @itch.io Steam : store.steampowered.com/app/3144340 Itch: kennymakesgames.itch.io/pin Discord: discord.com/invite/DpUGd... #indiegames #pinball #steam #roguelike

It's been waaay longer than I'd have liked since my last update, however I'm back with a new demo update, alongside some release date news for Cult of PiN. steamcommunity.com/app/3144340/... #gamedev #pinball #roguelike #indiedev

New screenshots going up on Steam, with a new trailer to follow in a week or so, shortly followed by release date announcement. Big fun scary times ahead. #pinball #solodev #indiedev #roguelike #steamdeck

Simple command to check the number of commits on the main branch of your project in git terminal: git rev-list --count HEAD Utterly useless, yet wierdly interesting stat. 1026 commits after 18 months of work. Would love to know what other #solodev folk are at? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev

Table 3 coming along nicely. Tbh after months of pretty much exclusively programming it feels great to be making pretty-looking weird stuff again. #indiegames #indiegamedev #pinball

After 316 reviews on @itch.io, I got what I believe is my first 1-star. Proud to have made it this far but if you're going to do this please, PLEASE god leave some kind of feedback - without it I have absolutely no idea what to improve to make it a 2+ Star game🤷‍♂️ #indiegamedev #gamedev #solodev

Following on from yesterday's day of polish, here's some beauty shots of Tables 1, 2 and 3. Table 3 is still very WIP but getting there, and soon will be moving onto move onto the final table! I'm so.. damn.. close!! #indiegames #gamedev #pinball

Working on the second table boss this #ScreenshotSaturday - adding infra for spell-like abilities for the bosses since - as hard as they are - they were all still a *bit* samey. Polishing the visuals. Feedback welcome! #gamedev #indeigames #pinball

I'm embracing the upper-management side of being a #solodev by using barely-legible red pen to criticise the work I did in the past while giving future-me a load of extra work that really I don't have bandwidth for. All while using the word 'bandwidth' - nailed it. #indiedev #gamedev #pinball

Not an in-game grab for #ScreenshotSaturday, instead a WIP of the revised playfield art for the third table. I swear this will all make sense when I can show off the whole damn thing. Almost there. #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #pinball

I keep updating the game and forgetting to post here (or anywhere really) but this time I'm all over it - Boss Timers, Ritual progression and other fun stuff in v0.10.0 #gamedev #indiedev #pinball #roguelike store.steampowered.com/news/app/314...

Oops, Discord link expired, thanks @albanoid.bsky.social for the heads up! New (permanent) link is here: discord.gg/DpUGdJ3Uf9 #indiegaming #indiegames #pinball

Not something I've got much experience in so it's likely an utter shambles, but after a number of requests I've finally setup a Discord server for CoP - not sure it'll ever have more than 10 members but if you feel like being one of them: discord.gg/DHK2SPes #indiegames #indiegamedev #indiegaming

This gave me all the feels right here - and exactly why I want to just keep making games forever! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegames

Ok, finally got the Demo update over the line. Check out the giant tentacle-related changes in v0.9.21 here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/314... #indiegames #gamedev #steam #pinball

Planned on having a major update out yesterday, however I found a nasty bug in testing that needs addressed ASAP. However, with work today and going to see Offspring tonight, ‘ASAP’ is now tomorrow at the earliest. Will post once it’s done. #gamedev #gaming #indiegamedev #indiedev

Arigatō you random, probably poorly-translated Japanese review! #gamedev #indiegames #pinball #gaming

This just started showing on the SteamDB page, not sure what it means but it’s numbers, and big numbers are good right? Right? #indiedev #gamedev #Steam #indiegames

As a fully grown adult, being at #420 on #Steam popular demos should not have brought me this much joy. #indiegames #gamedev #gaming

I nearly peed myself recently when a couple of YouTubers with 10k+ subscribers played the demo, but near enough imploded when I saw that Maxims with his 270k followers gave it a spin, claiming “Pinball has been brought into the 21st Century” holy sh… #indiegames #gaming youtu.be/Us4fiKA1Vcs?...

Work and life have both been equally intense, so I’ve not had much time to work on CoP this last two weeks, however still aiming for an update in the next fortnight. New lights, spinners and general tactile-goodness upcoming #indiedev #gamedev

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
