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?

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.

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?

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!!!

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 😅

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.

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?

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?

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!

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

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.

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.

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!
