Look it's me!!

Hi Bluesky 👋 I’m a Japanese indie developer working on a story-rich 2D adventure called "The Perfect Prince." I care a lot about emotional storytelling and player choice. Nice to meet you! #gamedev #indiedev

Making a cosy island builder, inspired by the beauty of Scotland. It also has Serious Game aspects where you learn a little about Scottish history while you build a cosy place. Try Tiny Terra Spaces demo & wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/3788070/... #marketingMonday #indiegame #cosygame

Hello World! Startup Summit: Final Tickets Remaining as Industry Experts Join Line-up We are entering the final week of preparations for the Hello World! Startup Summit, taking place on 2nd March at the University of Glasgow ARC. With over 125 delegates now registered, the event is approaching a…

To paraphrase a friend: stay on the path, make good things. Indie has always flourished in the face of AAA distraction. Times are bad, but let others deskill, pivot to nonsense or chase impossible outcomes. People really like playing videogames. Suits forget that every 6 months or so.

What an amazing night at @typewronger.bsky.social for the first ever bookshop all nighter in the UK! Be sure to check them out when next in Edinburgh and help keep their lights on!

A glimpse into the joy and madness of trying to do everything myself. #writtingcommunity #writesky #indie #indiewriter

Ever wanted to know about the process of designing a book? @elhark.bsky.social has you covered, as we at superforest prepare to publish Little Bird! #booksky #indie #indiepublishing #publishing #superforest #elhark #littlebird #sibylwylt #books #design #writesky #writecommunity

Getting to actually hold my book was an incredible experience. Can't wait to actually get it out into the world. #writtingcommunity #writesky

Magic has both physical and mental limitations. Individuals only have so much magic and once it's spent they have to wait for it recover. Burn through your magic too often and your body suffers. Beyond that it's mostly a question of skill and practise. #writtingcommunity #writesky

I have a University of Arcane Studies with degrees that similar to Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctorates. The Mage degree is my magical PhD and requires an understanding of all the Arcane arts and demonstration of mastery of one of them. The demonstration very much depends on what you're studying

Writing it just wasn’t enough for @elhark.bsky.social. Little Bird is now very real and in our hands. Hopefully it will be in your hands someday soon too. #littlebird #sibylwylt #elhark #indiewriter #indiepublisher #indie #booksky #diy #superforest

I use magic sparingly in my story so there aren't a lot of impressive examples of magic. This is probably the closest thing I have. #writingcommunity #writesky #Febchantment

There is a baseline genetic factor to my magic system. You have be born with magic, and a certain type of magic, to be able to use it. Beyond that it is all a matter of education. #writingcommunity #writesky

So proud of our city right now.

Writing is easy…editing…ooph. But probably the most important step on the way to publishing, right @elhark.bsky.social? #littlebird #superforest #elhark #booksky #writing #publishing #indieauthor #editing

I use a mixture of 'hard' and 'soft' magic atm. My goal is to have set rules about what is possible (and when it is possible) and then to be more vibes based on exactly how the magic is depicted. Sort of like describing your character's actions in an TTRPG after a dice roll. #writingcommunity

Preparing to publish @elhark.bsky.social? Let's go! #superforest #littelbird #sibylwylt #publishing #booksky #selfpublishing #amwriting #Writingcommunity #writers #writesky

Happy New Year from @elhark.bsky.social! #indieauthor #selfpublishing #superforest #elhark #littlebird #youngraven #booksky #writing #publishing #superforest

Day 18 of #Writevember. I have no idea how many words I've written, but I'm probably not getting 30,00 by the end of the month. On the bright side I'm still writing the manuscript, little by little. #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

Excited to announce we have been accepted into the Levelling-Up programme run by Game Space, hosted by @sgmilne.bsky.social! Keep an eye out for more updates soon! #superforest #gamespace #indiedev #gamedev

Best laid plans…but we keep at it, right @elhark.bsky.social? #writevember #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #indie #elhark #superforest #youngraven

A micro devlog for you, sharing early work on our current project #thewalkingdude

I write for myself, but try to keep a balance between the stories that I find enjoyable to tell and the stories I wish I'd read when I was younger. #WritingPrompt

Words are written, which is half the battle. Keep it up @elhark.bsky.social! #writevember #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #indie #elhark #superforest #youngraven

This looks fun and it might help me polish up my manuscript, Little Bird. Red is the colour of blood and fire. Of vengeance and violence. Of twisted justice and old feuds. For Sibyl, red is the colour left behind by death. It's the colour of grief. #NovermberWorldbuilders

Day 1 of #writevember and I've managed put down 1,000 words, which is a good start. Hopefully I can keep up the pace. #writingcommunity #writesky

Write, write, write. @elhark.bsky.social #writevember #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky #indie #elhark #superforest #youngraven

Onboarding an audience without them knowing…well now you know. Sorry about that @elhark.bsky.social #indie #booksky #books #sequels #onboarding #writing #fantasy #youngraven #littlebird #elhark #superforest

Consistency is everything, right @elhark.bsky.social? #youngraven #littlebird #sibylwylt #elhark #superforest #booksky #books #indiebooks #writing #indie #sequels #worldbuilding

And so the Young Raven learns to fly. @elhark.bsky.social #elhark #superforest #youngraven #littlebird #indiebooks #indie #booksky #writer #writing

Day 1 of working (primarily) on my second manuscript. After weeks of editing I am so happy to get back to just writing, because grammar doesn't count until at least the second draft. #writing #grammar #indiewriting #booksky #elhark
