It feels rather cozy in 1024x768.

I don't know how many gamers are using 1024x768 resolution still (maybe for handhelds?) but rest assured Ascending Realms works on it. 💻 #gaming #indiedev #gamedev

UI work is rewarding when it works. An absolute nightmare when it doesn't... #gamedev #indiedev 🧑‍💻

TIL the Steam Store doesn't support as many languages as they do for the games. Particularly good to know if you're getting the "Invalid language provided" when uploading your localized files, which wasn't a formatting issue after all... partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/lo... #gamedev #indiedev

Friendly reminder today (or tomorrow across the sea) is April Fools day. So if Microsoft announces an update to Internet Explorer it's probably true just a decade or so late.

Another big week ahead. Good luck everyone. Life is hard.

It's interesting the small issues you find while testing your game with different languages. The tooltips text was fitting fine in English but in some languages such as Japanese it was extending outside of the boxes. Now tooltips account for varying texts. ✅ #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #indiegame

Updated my website which was long overdue! 5yearsnow.com #indiedev #gamedev

Only the most accurate of colour descriptions are used in Ascending Realms. #indiedev #solodev #indiegame #gamedev

I forgot how much work goes into setting up your Steam store page.

It's been a while since I shared a full screenshot of Ascending Realms (new hero unit reveal?). So here you go Bluesky. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #indiegame

Further enemy computer player improvements today. With a dash of imperfection so it doesn't just execute the best strategy possible every single time. Because that wouldn't be fun right? Getting schooled by the computer. #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #indiegamedev #AscendingRealms

Needless to say there's going to be a lot of balance patches once the demo is out. If you would like to be part of those discussions head over to my Discord server discord.gg/URsQvAdYRN #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #indiegamedev #comingsoon

Great progress in the last 48 hours. ⚔️ #gamedev #solodev #indiedev
