Just found out Cloudheim drops Dec 4 and I’m already planning to play it for days. This ARPG has physics-based combat, crafting & a flying turtle base. I’m so hyped I put my Switch 2 up for sale 🤯 Anyone else diving into this one from day one? #indiegame #Cloudheim #gamedev #gaming

Working on Loan Sword$man has taught me one thing: scope is a sneaky final boss 😂 But I’m leveling up the world, the swords, and the story piece by piece. Can’t wait to share more soon. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gaming

I just learned Dead Cells has a 5⭐ rating with 40,000+ reviews… and somehow I’ve never played it 😅 For those who have — is it really as addictive as everyone says? Should I make it my next roguelike playthrough? #indiegame #DeadCells #roguelike #gaming

6 months deep into building my indie game Loan Sword$man ⚔️. The art style’s still evolving, but the vision is sharper than ever. Indie dev is messy, but I want to bring you along for the ride this time. Who’s ready to see this journey unfold? Coming soon, an October update!!! #indiegame #gamedev

Game dev math: 1 bug fixed = 3 new ones created. By that logic, Loan Sword$man might secretly be a bug-collecting simulator at this point 😅 #gamedev #indiegame What’s your funniest bug moment in a game?

Death’s Door is one of those indie gems that sticks with you. Tight combat, hauntingly beautiful art, and a story about purpose and loss—it’s a masterclass in minimalism. It’s the kind of game that reminds me why I’m making my own. #indiegame #DeathsDoor

The best part of indie games? You feel the heart of the devs in every pixel. From Hollow Knight to Hades, each one proves you don’t need AAA budgets to tell unforgettable stories. What indie game story stuck with you the most? #indiegame #gaming

Ever notice how indie roguelikes make you lose 50 runs in a row… and somehow you still whisper “one more try”? 😂 That loop is pure magic. What’s the indie game that hooked you hardest? #indiegame #roguelike #gamingcommunity

Moonlighter was such a gem—playing as a merchant chasing the dream of becoming a hero felt so relatable (especially as an indie dev 👀). Moonlighter 2’s beta is in Nov! @digitalsungames.com is leveling up again. Who else is hyped? youtube.com/watch?v=NndR... #indiegame #roguelike

I finished the @druidmechanics.bsky.social course! So now I got the basics of gameplay done. For the rest of October, I'm going to work on official art so I can start prototyping and Alpha Testing. And...making my Steam Page! This is #exciting! #gamedevelopment #unrealengine #videogames

I enjoyed my Gengar model so much, I spent an hour and 34 minutes yesterday making another #Nintendo character in #Link! I used the Awakening Remake version (Gotta crawl before you can walk.)

So, I've been chipping away at #art while I've been #coding, #designing, going to #school, #teaching at another school, and #uber driving. Here is a nearly complete #gengar from #pokemon! Enjoy!

A Golden Sun(day) twitch.tv/thepadlockes... Streaming Golden Sun from #NintendoSwitch2 Online. #twitch

Wandering around the Kingdom. Come say hi! I got about 1 to 2 hours to Stream TOTK Switch 2 version: www.twitch.tv/thepadlockes...

The new models are in the gaming and trying their best to run smoothly! I'm just glad they are in there! What do you think? Is this starting to look like a game you'd want to play?? #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #solodeveloper

#Working on a new design for my Sneak Enemy. The game Loan Sword$man is still in pre-production (we don't even have a Steam Page, yet!!) Is it just me or is he looking like a decent character model?? #lowpoly #videogameart #blackgamedev

Weird melodies incoming!! #retrogaming #music #gameboy

Update to my character Model! A bit less cartoon but still low poly and stylized! Tell me what you think!! #screenshotsaturday #blackgamedev

Game Dev Plays Game About Being A Game Dev twitch.tv/thepadlockes... Come watch me play my favorite game of the last year! #streamer #twitchstreamer #IndieGameDev #GodotEngine

What in the glitch? (I fixed it yesterday, but it was a pain for quite a while). There's no Steam Page yet, but follow my page for updates. Steam Page will be up when I get rid of all this test art! :3 #supermarioworld #nintendo #legendofzelda #indiegame #videogame

There is much to say about Subdivision Surface! #blender3d #videogameart #indiegames Also, I forgot I tried a model with the @grantabbitt.bsky.social animeGirl project back in 2024! I wonder if I should get into that once I'm finished with this one. #tutorialhell

Is it starting to look human (finally)? #gameart #videogame #sologamedev I hope to have some focused progress all this week. No Web Dev, no Cybersecurity. Just straight up #gamedev #unrealengine5 #blender3d #C++

I'm gonna play some more games from the Big Byte Game Jam tonight at 5pm CST! www.twitch.tv/thepadlockes... #gamestreaming #BIG @blackingaming.bsky.social @mgamekitchen.bsky.social

I think, before I finish Loan Sword$man, I want to make a small concept game loosely-based on Mezer. He will hunt different animals, get and sell meat. #legendofzeldabotw #indiegamedev #solodev @nintendousa.bsky.social

#Progress #blender3D #videogameart

A wise wizard, @jonnyjgamedev.bsky.social told me to post every day! I think I will. I think this sword is a little over powered... #gamedev #log Loan Sword$man will be 3 months in development in 3 days. No Steam Page yet, but stay tuned!

My next dev log is up on youTube 🚀 youtu.be/-bqJSFDiKsA?... Let me know in the comments if you have any opinions to give me!

New dev log video is up! youtu.be/ECfUhr-79dA?... And I plan to get a Steam Page in the next couple of months, so stay tuned! Also, if you could see my games on any console, which would it be...?

It's #screenshotsaturday 🌞 #gamedevelopment is a tough job that doesn't pay well but we do it anyway because we want to share our creations with the world. 🌎 Here's some progress I've made on my game, Loan Sword$man.

youtu.be/KVSsGmiVsIM?... Happy Murder Me Now It's Monday! Check out my Dev log from last week on YouTube. I haven't posted one in a while. If you could improve my videos, what would you do? #devlog #YouTube #loanswordsman

#screenshotsaturday #unrealengine #gamedev Some advancements in my learning.

#followfriday #lowpoly #gamedev My low poly character is coming along!

New video alert! www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0kg... The company is now re-established, so I can officially (and legally) make commercial games again! #indiegame #videogames #thePadlockesTech

I'm making a game where you PIMP SLAP PEOPLE! Check out my Dev Log on YouTube {Like, Subscribe, Bell} youtu.be/sedwdG5ylqM?...

Working on some running animations and implementing it quickly using an official template from Unity. I don't know why the naruto run was corrupted when I put it into Unity, but sounds like another problem to solve to me. #madewithunity #unity3d #blender3d #gamedesign #solodev #followfridays

The truth about Software Development (if not especially Game Development) is that it is messy. Yeah, I got him moving! But I messed up the rotations. Once again, don't forget to Freeze Your Rotations! #gamedesign #madewithunity #gamedev #solodev

I'm back to making game dev videos: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqjs... All of January I was trying to do Technology News, but I don't think it worked out too well.... #indiegames #videogames #devlogs #padlockes #game

I just revamped my website using some knowledge I gained from the Global Career Accelerator class I'm enrolled in. Check out the new site here: lockeheede.github.io

How it was vs how it's going... #indiegame #videogame #solodev #blackdev

I hope to post more often...

Hey.
