Biome 3 is probably my favourite colour palette in the game 🎨

Real footage of me fixing bugs after launching a game on Steam: #gamedev #indiegame

Gunboat God from @fireshinegames.bsky.social and @jansonrad.bsky.social is a 10/10 for me. I can’t stop playing it. It just feels incredible, and it looks just as good. Review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social:

Oops - console gunboating will have to wait a teeny bit longer! There's a slight delay for the Xbox and PS5 launch date. More info soon!

Gunboat God is OUT NOW ON STEAM! Let's goooo 🤩 6 years of building levels, animating crazy enemies, creating weapons, and having an absolute blast crafting this slick arcadey shooter - and now you can play it! I'm thrilled :D Check out the launch trailer! www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRgg...

I've seen so many developers relishing getting onto the popular upcoming window on steam. I'm so stoked to finally be there too! 🫣🤩 2 more days to launch! #screenshotsaturday #indiegame

So close to launch! Oh my gooood. Still pinching myself that the game is coming out on Steam, Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X in just over a week. Can I finally put "game developer" on my linkedin? 😆 #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

Gunboat God is SLAMMING onto Steam, Xbox and Playstation next month, just like this slam attack. Wow that was smooth wordplay. #indiegame #gamedev

The calm I feel before releasing a game 😌🫢🫨 WILL IT LAST?

There's heaps of mission types in Gunboat God - here's a mission with a radiation blast that you have to hide from as you progress through the level! #indiegame #gamedev

I napped today after a long run and I dreamed about game dev for this first time, I think ever? Too bad it wasn't a lucid dream where I could finish making the game in 10 minutes then everyone turns around and cheers. #gamedev

Steam Next Fest is over booooo I want it to keep going 😭😭😭 I'm absolutely stoked to have a 97% positive rating on Gunboat God. It doesn't have a billion reviews, but it is energising to see a decent little group of players jumping in and having a good time. Thank you all 💖

The Terrible Tadpole! This guy isn't in the demo, but he will be in the full game. Check out the Gunboat God demo in Steam Next Fest :D store.steampowered.com/app/2832190/...

Gunboat God is in Steam Next Fest, and the demo is LIIIIIIVE!!! So stoked! The game is sitting at 95% positive reviews (21). If it can get to 50 reviews at that rate, it will get the "Very Positive" rating! Please check it out and let me know what you think 🙌 store.steampowered.com/app/2832190/...

Looks like someone had a rough Friday night :0 #screenshotsaturday

Don't look now but I think the new Gunboat God Steam page assets just dropped. Hype levels critical, juice levels maximum‼️ #gamedev #steamgames

We spoke to @jansonrad.bsky.social, the developer of the upcoming Gunboat God. Learn about the visually striking game from the earliest prototype to key game design decisions. 🔗 gamemaker.io/en/blog/gunb...

That's a HUGE.... health bar you've got there. 🐝🗡️❤️ Gunboat God has 5 boss battles across 5 biomes, and they're each more intense than the last! This is only the first attack of the first boss :O #gamedev #indiegame

No mutant pirates were harmed in the making of this game #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

A casual weekend in a waterworld apocalypse 😆 #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

Arcade-y goodness incoming! 🤯🧨😀👀😵☠️ Gunboat God is coming out this year. Oh yeah, there's no stopping it. Be prepared.

Blasting into the new year!! #indie#gamedev

The engine I'm using and the game I'm making #screenshotsaturday

Finally did my first parkrun today, and had a blast! Well, I almost passed out, but I survived, so that's 1 to me, 0 to nature. Winning.

Water simulation takes up more than half of the frame budget 💦💻 No water was harmed in the making of this game though, promise! #indiedev #indiegames

An early version of this crocgineer upgrading your equipment 😆 This is from 4 years ago 😵

The quick-turn skill in action :O Can't touch this dooo dooo doo doo do #indiegame #screenshotsaturday

Gunboat God is coming out sometime early next year aaaaaaah too soon too soon too soon too soon actually nah it's ok. Excited :D

Animating the enemies in GBG was super fun - it's been a while since I've spent time on those, since I've been focused on refining levels and overall polish. So animation on this project is almost entering nostalgia territory 😝 #screenshotsaturday #indiegame

22,877 sprites. That's the most of any asset type in Gunboat God. What's the most of anything YOUR game has? 👀 #gamedev

Spent one day organising and optimising sprite sheets. 1 less draw call and 50 less MB in ram. yay 🫠

I've been looking back at Gunboat God in it's early stages. The fundamentals were there from the beginning :D #screenshotsaturday #indiegames

An explosive adventure awaits :D #gamedev

I optimised the water simulation to be at least 25% more performant! #gamedev #animation

Satisfactory on console next week - god help me. Nooooo I need to work I have responsibilities I have a life I need fresh air I need to shower.

I might be an insane workaholic but I actually like implementing localisation in my game. In fact, I kind of like every part of #gamedev as long as I'm working towards something worthwhile. There are still frustrating times, of course. Devs out there, what are your thoughts?

SXSW Sydney games festival on saturday was a slam dunk - great way to go out with a bang! There were so many amazing games on display, and it was great to see players jumping into Gunboat God and smashing the entire playtest build 😆 #sxswsydney woohoo thanks y'all

I implemented quick-swapping between the different upgrade screens. Makes navigating the UI easy, and juicy! #indiegame

It feels great to be on the final stretch of game polish and feedback improvements! Also, these new mission-success sparkle sound effects are sooo satisfying. #indiegames

Just 1 week until #SXSWSydney!

Haven't had a chance to check out the Gunboat God playtest? No worries, it's still ongoing. check it out 👉 store.steampowered.com/app/2511210/... #indiegame

Tune into the Convergence showcase tomorrow (7:30pm BST) to see Gunboat God in action Did I mention we'll be reopening the playtest demo? 😉

The aptly named SUPER MOVE. It is a super move that you can perform in the game that allows you to do a super move called super move.

Me fixing bugs

Thank you everyone for the Gunboat God playtest feedback, I really appreciate it :D Can't wait to sift through the notes and start implementing! #gamedev

Hey folks, I’ll be at SXSW Sydney with Gunboat God on the 13th - 19th of October I’d love to chat if you’re in town! Swing by, say hi, and check out the latest Gunboat Demo 🌊 #SXSWSydney #SXSW

Animation is fun, especially when it's a big wasp with a giant stinger that's trying to extremely destroy you. #indiegame

A HIGHLY accurate representation of fishing on the open ocean... #indiegame #gamedev #animation
