I played Negative Space at the Seattle Indies Expo a few weeks ago. It’s a deck builder about exploring outer space that isn’t focused on combat. It’s rad. Demo is on Steam - you should check it out. @werdnalt.bsky.social

A playtester helped me make a change I'd been mulling over for a while. Some effects trigger when a card is drawn, but not when they're drawn during the normal beginning-of-turn lifecycle. He recommended adding a keyword instead, and thus, Retrieve was born! Thanks playtester! #screenshotsaturday

After a fantastic weekend showing Negative Space at the Seattle Indies Expo, I've released one final major update to the demo on Steam and Itch.io before the full release this fall! tier-87-games.itch.io/negative-spa... #indiedev #deckbuilder

Heading into the final stretch to get this game wrapped up. Been spending a lot of time in that last 10% but I'm determined to stop noodling soon to get it pushed out this Fall! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev

Negative Space is being showcased in the Debut Festival 2025, hosted by @gamedevist.bsky.social! An updated demo has just been released including an all new card type - go give it a shot! #indiedev #debutfestival #indiegame

Drawing more trinket illustrations and ended up being pretty happy with how they turned out! I make all the art on a super low res canvas in Procreate with a limited palette, and I find the restrictions end up pushing me to be more creative and get better results #indiedev

An unexpected relic chain reaction while playtesting. Definitely not intended but now I’m considering if something like this would be fun to keep in? 🤔 #indiedev #roguelike

My cosmic deckbuilder Negative Space is well underway - wanted to share some current visuals for #screenshotsaturday

I’m curious if controller support is generally wanted for a #deckbuilder game. It would probably be most useful for Steam deck - any opinions about it? #indiedev

It's important to have a Leader when you are setting out to explore the cosmos! #indiedev #madewithunity

noodling around on a logo - trying to find a typeface that fits the vibe of the game and then spice it up a bit

drawing up some different Captains for your ship. each with their own abilities, of course! #indiedev

when you need to upgrade your cards, who better to help you than the Starsmith? #indiedev #timelapse

adding a little more game feel and juice to my deck builder! #screenshotsaturday

making more progress on my space exploration themed #deckbuilder. mostly been reworking card effects to provide more interesting decisions and cool moments originally, it was a single difficulty, but I've been experimenting with "ascension" levels for more difficult encounters and interactions

This a project I've abandoned, picked back up, and reworked many times but haven't gotten it to a place that feels good yet. It's something of a cross between Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon and Tetris Attack. I think it has potential, so maybe one day I'll figure it out! #indiedev #madewithunity

Spent the last week making a fun physics sandbox game for 2025's Bigmode Game Jam. You use your disembodied hand to flick colorful little guys, and growth in strength over time! Feeling exhausted, but proud! tier-87-games.itch.io/flicker #gamejam #indiedev

I've drawn over 40 planets for my game so far, but this happy little fella is my favorite so far #indiedev

setting the stage and adding a little flavor to the levels of my deckbuilder #indiedev

hi bluesky! I'm an indie dev finishing up my small planetary deckbuilder where choosing to not play a card can be as impactful as playing it #gamedev #madewithunity
