🏘️ #VillagerFriday — Meet the Villagers of Under the Elm Bram is the tavern keeper at The Inn, where he tends the hearth like a man keeping a vigil and knows every regular by their footsteps. There's always a mug waiting for you. 🍻 #indiedev #cozygames #cozygame #pixelart #devlog

Y'all, this is my first game. I told myself that if even a couple of people played it, that would be enough. Today we hit double-digit players in the demo, wandering grandma's cabin, foraging the clearing. I'm over the moon. Thank you for being here at the start. 🍄 #cozygames #indiedev #pixelart

🌿 #BotanicalWednesday — Wild Garlic First thing up after the snow clears. Allicin in the bulb: antimicrobial, prebiotic, broad anti-infective. If the wild garlic is here, the hard season is done. Find it in the Clearing 🌱 #indiedev #cozygames #foraging #herbalism #pixelart

🍄 #MushroomMonday — St. George's Mushroom Tradition says it fruits around the saint's feast day (Apr 23) and is one of the rare mushrooms that prefers spring. They give off a faint cucumber-flour scent. In Under the Elm, find them in the Clearing 🌿 #indiedev #cozygames #mycology #pixelart

Played my own demo today... What should have taken less than an hour took close to two because I kept stopping to take notes and screenshot. Forty things to fix and one very patient cat in the cabin later and... We'll try again tomorrow 🍄 #ScreenshotSaturday #CozyGames #IndieDev #PixelArt #SoloDev

At what point does an Excel file become a game engine?(asking for a friend) #gamedev #indiedev #cozygames

She's a forager too. Of course she likes Birch Polypore. 🍄 #cozygames #indiedev #pixelart #mushrooms

Gaslit myself into thinking that the maps would be the easy part. So easy I put 7 biomes into the base game for early access. Reader... the maps were not the easy part. Send help. 🌳 #gamedev #cozygames #pixelart
