One of the most interesting and fun things about playtesting is the ways other people manage to break the game in ways I couldn't have imagined. My brother sent me this the other week #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #logging #turnbasedthursday

Proud to officially host #TurnBasedThursday this week! 😊 #gamedev, please share your games in the thread! Make sure to like 💖 share 🔁 and wishlist ✅ any turn-based gems you come across in the comments!

Finished the corruption of all the bears... onto the next faction! #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev

Purple means corruption, ya know #recolor #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart

Question for indie/solo game devs: do you localize your game other than english? (and your own native language if not english, I suppose) Have you had good experiences doing this? Have you combined localisation with e.g streamer outreach in that language/region?

Happy to be co-hosting this #TurnBasedThursday since the Sultan is not present here 👑 To participate- 💬 Show us your turn-based games, share your latest work ❤️ Engage with other fellow devs 🔁 Repost if you like what you see

Not exactly #screenshotsaturday but I made this little presentation box of the Raccoon faction #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

When you unlock new units in Save the Forest, you also get new lil' start screen dioramas. Here's the Farmhand one: #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #isometric

Trying to make a go of the youtube shorts game but I'm still a novice in the dark engagement arts #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart

The top comment on my last trailer was "very blurry video" - I took that personally (and made a completely new one) #indiedev #gametrailer #gamedev #pixelart #turnbased

- "You fool... No hedgehog can kill me..." - "I. am. no. Hog" #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #éoWIN

Enjoy a cozy night with the Hedgehog faction. More hoggin' and hedgin' to do tomorrow #pixelart #cozy #campfire #indiegame #indiedev

Learning better gifs Rome not built in a day How do I zoom #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #davinci

Even littler John's

Synced or non-synced animations? I can't really tell what looks best. I'm planning on making it an option in-game but wondering what to use for the default (unsynced version in reply) #indiedev #tactics #turnbased #gamedev #pixelart

Added small character portraits next ot each name since I kept forgetting which unit was which during playtesting 😅 #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #pixelart

For #screenshotsaturday here's one of the first boss fights from Save the Forest, my in-development roguelite tactics game. If you like srpgs and/or tactics games like Into The Breach, check it out! Wishlist Save the forest here: store.steampowered.com/app/3832200/... #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart

Ended up with this corrupted variant after some feedback! #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

Looking for some honest opinions! I'm making corrupted versions of the enemies (with a purple-ish theme for corruption) and I*m wondering if something like this looks mostly lazy or kinda... cool? Let me know what you think, and how you would improve it! #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

I'm biased but I really like the feel of this lil squirrel jump #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #squirrel

Another one of my favourite effects! Can you spot the reference? #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #isometric

For this #screenshotsaturday I give you my new gameplay trailer! Wishlist Save the Forest here: store.steampowered.com/app/3832200/... #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #monogame

🌲🌲🌲 Save the Forest Steam page is now live! 🌲🌲🌲 Please have a look at the brand new gameplay trailer, wishlist, and critique my horrible copywriting - in that order! #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #steampage

I now have a new button to press

Finished the Bear faction's time travel makeover/polish - now I'll finally get cracking on the gameplay trailer for the steam page 😅 #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart

Ended up using two different expressions for the bear, here's the full look 🐻 #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #bears

One thing that always trips me up about pixel art of this scale is how really small changes to the eye/brow pixels gives such different expressions - I genuinely cannot decide what this bear should feel and I can't finish it until I do #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

Making some levels that mix factions and it bothered me that the 30's gangster bears looked so very out of place among the other factions, so they're getting a time travel makeover! #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #screenshotsaturday

This is the strawberry attack in motion 🍓 #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

This skill is quickly becoming my favourite #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev

This is what I've got so far... needs polish probably but I'll start from here in terms of capsule - let me know what you think! Would you click/wishlist? #indiedev #gamedev #steamcapsule

Trying to come up with a steam capsule design is hard! I am leaning towards this kind of layout, do you think it'll work well? #indiedev #gamedev #steamcapsule

Guys I couldn't choose so they both get to stay... #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #analysisparalysis

A bit unhappy about one of my hedgehog units (the concept was "rolls into ball") so I'm reworking it.. which one do you like better? belly-armor mace hog or flower thrower? #pixelart #indiedev #bellyarmor

I think he turned out ok! now to implement the rewards... I wonder if the other ones should kinda sink to the bottom when one is chosen? #indiedev #gamedev

I missed #screenshotsaturday again because I was busy working on this toad so here he is: #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart

Behind the scenes sketch for a steam capsule artist, I don't know how illustrators do it honestly

Missed #screenshotsaturday so maybe #screenshotsunday will do? Working on some attack effects so enjoy the mason just quietly carrying some masonry in the middle of the battlefield #SaveTheForest #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Adding a couple of upgrade categories and changing some stuff around. Since I have no imagination the ability to Stun is in the category "stunning", and now the engineer units categories reads like a dating profile

I'm working on Soulblaze, a creature-collecting roguelite with dice rolling and hand-drawn critters! Try the demo and Wishlist 👉 store.steampowered.com/app/3505230/... #TurnBasedThursday #MadeWithGodot

Just when you start thinking you have a handle on the fight, they show up in greater numbers. The miceketeers are one of the elite enemies you face in Save the Forest #indiedev #gamedev #turnbasedthursday #SaveTheForest

Curious to know how obvious some of these aspects of my game are - is it obvious to you at a glance what's going on? or is it mostly a mess of boxes (or something in between)

Working on bossfights this week - here's a sneak peek of the indoor fight with the Gingerbread Witch #indiedev #gamedev #savetheforest #TurnBasedThursday
