The next version of Light Descends (be it a 0.2.1 or directly the third level with 0.3.0), will have some new graphics 🤩🤩 By the way, I'm always looking for playtesters! If you want to support Light Descend's development, play it and give me any feedback you can!

I'm learning a lot recently from several yt channels about some mid-to-advances topics in #Godot 4. I think we have left behind the times where you could say that Godot lack of guides and tutorials was a disadvantage against Unity.

#indiedev who publishes on Steam. How do you feel about your players not owning the copy of the game, and only having a license to play? Genuine question. #gaming #gamedev

A week after the second big update of Light Descends comes an important fix for the web build. I wish I could've done this earlier. v0.2.0a (web only) - Graphic fix - Light Descends (v0.2.0) barquero.itch.io/light-descen... #indiegame #madewithgodot

The second level of Light Descends is live! Play it for free on barquero.itch.io/light-descends. I need your feedback! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #madewithgodot

I finished fixing all (known) bugs after the systems rework in Light Descends. Now I need to put some lore rewards, translate them, and the second level update will be ready! Also, have a preview of the new visuals for the first level altar 😉 #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

The content for the second level in Light Descends (barquero.itch.io/light-descends) is almost done, but the update will be delayed a bit because I'm reworking some systems and elements to make them more reusable, and speed up future developments. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #godot

Hii, I'm looking for job as Unity dev, game design or QA. I've +5 years of experience. If you know any studio big or indie with open position (I'm currently looking at commons webs). Thanks! #indiedev #indiegamedev

Trailer for the demo of Light Descends! Darkness hurts you, torches are keys, and you must follow a trail into a misterious labyrinth governed by ancient gods. Play it for free now barquero.itch.io/light-descends. The development needs your feedback! #indiedev #solodev #indiegame

The first 80% of the game takes 80% of the time. The final 20% takes... the other 80%. It's a long road. But you're on it. Keep moving. You're closer than you think. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #gamedeveloper

Another #indiegame recommendation until I release the trailer for Light Descends. Finding 🏹🔥 Roguelight 🏹🔥 was an extraordinary coincidence, because I had already created mine, and it was great to see another approach to a light and dark mechanic. managore.itch.io/roguelight

+ Just a little lock-and-key exploration driven action platformer. + Actually dude, it's a metroidvania. + That's what I said, lock-and-key exploration driven action platformer.

I don't have much to showcase yet about the second level of Light Descends. I'll be instead recommending indies I played this month! The 1st one: 🩸Ichorus🩸. Challenging and SUPER cool visuals. Feels like a little cousin of Blasphemous, but bloodier. mattstov.itch.io/ichorus

Every piece of your feedback is and has been invaluable! The most problematic aspect for now are translations... I want to be make sure they are fully fixed in the next update. Apart from that, people seem to like the game. That motivates me a lot! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #solodev

I don't know if this is new or I'm just noticing, but I've seen some indie devs linking Tumblr profiles. Anyone knows if there's audience for indie games in there? #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #Godot #unity #solodev

Feel free to link your trailer along with your free software recommendation for making mine. #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #indiegame #playmygame #freesoftware

I plan to make a small trailer for the Light Descends demo (already playable on barquero.itch.io/light-descends) to attract more playtesters, but it's been years since I last did video editing. Any recommendation of free software for this? #indiedev #solodev #playmygane #indiegame

First patch after opening the playtest! I'm still looking for people that like esoteric puzzle platformers. Play it now for free on #itchio and follow to be notified about updates! v0.1.3 - Translation and web fixes - Light Descends barquero.itch.io/light-descen... #indiegames

Apparently, it does! Finding a bug in your game that's been fixed in the version that just released, that's what I call luck! And now I get to try out the latest #Godot 4.5 features 🤩

If you have tried the demo for Light Descends, you have noticed that important texts are not being translated properly to English. I believe this has to do with a bug in Godot 4.4, fixed in 4.5, so I'm updating (as already planned) to see if it fixes it. github.com/godotengine/...

Holi! Estoy buscando cositas de autónoma 💕🙌 Tenía planificado un proyecto pero finalmente no ha salido y necesito encontrar otra cosilla. Me vendría genial algo corto o algún encargo 😊 Porfolio: www.artstation.com/martazarca

The playtest demo for Light Descends is officially live! It's a puzzle platformer about light, dark, and a journey to the subconscious. Your feedback is much appreciated. Play it for free: barquero.itch.io/light-descends #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #playtest #madewithgodot

Tomorrow, the Light Descends demo will open. I can't wait to have some feedback from you. Follow to be notified and join the playtest! #gamedev #indiedev #playmygane #itchio #madewithgodot

It is said that the hour of the day is important when posting, for maximum reach. However, when your intended audience is international, what posting schedule are you supposed to have? 😵‍💫

#Godot just keeps getting better and better, I started using it at version 3.2 and seeing how much it has evolved, and knowing is not going to stop... it's incredible! youtu.be/vPcYsAWLEj4?...

Psychoanalysis, paganism and occultism are the main sources of inspiration for Light Descends symbolism. With this game, I want to narrate a modern myth about a descent to the subconscious. The demo opens this Thursday on #itchio. Follow to be notified! #indiegame #psychoanalysis #madewithgodot

You are safe in the light. But to find what was lost, you must step into the darkness. In Light Descends, darkness consumes you and torches are keys. The demo opens on #itchio in three days. Follow to be notified! #indiedev #indiegame #madewithgodot #gamedev

Turns out that if your goal is to complete an alpha build but you keep adding features, the more you work, the further you get from your goal... #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

This Thursday I'll open the demo of Light Descends on #itchio. Follow to be notified! You'll explore an ancient cave where darkness consumes you, so you must always stay in the light. #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #playmygame #madewithgodot

Ancient gods watch in the darkness, and their altars still lie deep underground. The first demo of Light Descends is almost ready. Follow to be notified when the playtest opens on #itchio. #indiedev #indiegame #madewithgodot

You need light to survive, but your torch is also a key. Sometimes you must leave it behind to move forward. The first demo of Light Descends is almost ready. Follow to be notified when the playtest opens on #itchio. #indiedev #indiegame #madewithgodot

It's funny how constraints are a generator of creativity #indiedev

Level and puzzle design begins before opening the engine. This is a future level for my upcoming game, a puzzle platformer where you explore an underground laberynth while darkness consumes you. Stay in the light! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

First look at my upcoming game, a puzzle platformer where darkness hurts you, so you must stay in the light. A descent into the underground, searching for someone you don't want to lose. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #madewithgodot

Struggle 😩: I can't decide how some HUD element should behave in my game. My big brain solution 🧠🌌: Add an option to the graphics/accessibility menu and let the user decide. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Do you want to avoid scope creep? Play small, but complete games. Free indie titles are great for this. I discovered the scope of my game didn't satisfy me just because of the size of the games I was most familiar with. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

When I have an idea for a game I start seeing it everywhere. I have a prototype I want to publish because I think is somewhat unique, and in the same week I found two games on itch.io with a similar vibe. #indiedev #indiegame
