Participating in the Rising Tide Challenge again! Feel free to check it out and vote if you interested! blueoceangames.com/challenge/vo...

Finally figure out how I want to notify player about double jump and dash. When you have no double jump, tail shrink and ears with dash. #oloo #indiedev #gamedev

New trailer is out! I will use this one in my pitch. Don't have high hopes, but in this state of industry and job market, doesn't hurt to try fund my game👀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3DK... #oloo #indiedev #gamedev

Published new demo update: shidonski.itch.io/oloo/devlog/... Still not ready for the steam demo, sounds need work and localization too. But it's getting closer! #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

We've done it. We've just hit the release button on our biggest game yet... DEMON TIDES IS OUT NOW ON STEAM! AHHHHH! An open world platforming adventure full of mysteries, challenges and a ton of customization! Express yourself through the movement and explore the oceans!

Finally have intro transition :D #oloo #indiedev #gamedev

Didn't post for a while, have a lot to do. Was adding localization support, but localization still will be a problem for the future. Updated how I work with dialogs. And working slowly on assets for the forest area. Sneak peek of transition part. #oloo #indiedev #gamedev

We open public playtest for Burn With Me! 🔥 Demonic deckbuilder about an obsessed Teacher. Animal occult university, cozy dread and eerie mysteries! Also, you need to burn your cards. A lot. store.steampowered.com/app/2954010 I live and breathe this game for a year already — please give it a go!

Decided to make a little series of videos introducing some of the "friends". Will have more later! #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Adding the hub room. Characters will appear here depends on conditions to chat. And orb collector always will be here to get your collectibles and reveal some information. Will probably work on visuals a of the room a bit more later. #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

New friend 👀 #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Put some work into visuals, now environment is a bit more interesting, I hope 😅 #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Steam recommendations. I'm cooked compare to this giants, but I will do my best! 😅 #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Have finally update how I blur background. Now my life much easier :D #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Made another optional platformer sequence since I have this hook mechanic. Can be easily missed or ignored, but it is fun :D #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Today worked on technical debt I had for some time. Before light was just 2 sprites on the character plus radial shadow sprite it was good enough for prototyping the look. Now I can have as many lights as I want. #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Trip is over, can go back to work. Added hiding bushes. Removed invincibility from dash because it was making everything too simple and easy to avoid most of the danger. #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Some of the first concepts way before I knew what I want from this game or the scope of it. #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Away from my PC for some times, so nothing new to show. But have some footage from the grayscale past. #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Got to 300+ may be it’s a small number overall, but to me it’s still a lot. I don’t have much of an audience to market the game, so to see 300+ gamers interested in the game I don’t even know how they found out about is wild. Thanks everyone! #indiedev #oloo

Made birds head bigger so you can use it as a platform too, might rethink the design later. #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

It’s always takes me forever to figure out how to design levels. At this point I go with the same route I do during drawing, I know what I want but not how until I start sketching something and get more ideas and improvements, may be not the ideal, optimal way, but that what works for me yet.

Working on the hook mechanic for the wheel, not sure how often it will be used, but could be fun when polished. #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Steam page is up! store.steampowered.com/app/4278310/... #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Adding vines, could be a bridge, blockage or a trap in the future. Work in progress. #oloo #indiedev #gamedev

Today I've prepared capsule for the game, pretty happy with the result, now waiting for the review 🤞 #oloo #indiedev #gamedev

Waiting for the steam approval, continuing work on the next area 😤 #oloo #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Found a good name for DBA there is no dev on steam with it according to Steam DB and no entity in my state. But there is a itch profile with this name already 🥲

Made a little update for the demo that includes playtest feedback and some fixes: shidonski.itch.io/oloo/devlog/... #oloo #indiedev #gamedev

Working on the next area, tweaking this little guy and adjusting colors for the area palette. #oloo #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

🩵Play 'Oloo' by @shidonski.bsky.social at NYC Indie Dev Night at OS-NYC on 12/4! You are a little creature, too squishy to be dangerous and too cute to be scary. Find your way in a hostile world. shidonski.itch.io/oloo

Hey everyone! New demo being released! You can download it on: shidonski.itch.io/oloo www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPS5... #oloo #indiedev #gamedev #demo

Added separate visual state when player is in rigid form. #oloo #gamedev #indiedev

I may not have fishing but I have fishing npc 🎣 #oloo #gamedev #indiedev

Ok, now at least if to believe to my wife, controls are much better. Not really sure why I haven’t done it this way in the first place was quite a pain to convert, but yay. Now will have to test it on a few more friends.

Did my first in person play test, with players outside of my social bubble, oh boy, time to adjust controls and rewrite few things xD

Some in progress screenshots #oloo #gamedev #indiedev

I know I'm far from finishing this game yet. But already excited to start another completely opposite genre wise idea I've been brewing in my head for a while xD

Halloween update :D #oloo #gamedev #indiedev

Got my results from Rising Tide Challenge, I would say pretty solid, extra motivation to keep going! #oloo #gamedev #indiedev #BlueOceanGames
