We asked people playing our game at #GDC what they thought about the atmosphere! One player said it reminded them of Kingdom Hearts! A world built with care and full of whimsy, that's what #BrokenTailInteractive is all about! #IndieGame #IndieDev #GameDev #GDC2026 #IndieGameDev

We’re a tiny indie team making a world we hope sticks with you long after the credits... and because of that we're a bit curious, what game worlds have left a mark on you? #IndieDev #GameDev #IndieGame #TheAzureProject #BrokenTailInteractive

If indie games, ocean worlds, and early dev discoveries are your vibe then welcome aboard! Because we’re building our game, #TheAzureProject, out in the open to encourage you all to come on the journey with us! #BrokenTailInteractive #IndieGame #IndieDev #Mermaid #Merfolk #Gaming #DevLog

Meet Sam! She's Az’s bold, brilliant, and sometimes too adventurous sister in #TheAzureProject! And her color scheme was chosen by our Patreon members. So be sure to join our Patreon to help shape the future of our game with us! #IndieGame #IndieDev #GameDev #Mermaid #Merfolk #Patreon

When we say “The Whole Room Is A Puzzle”… we mean the whole room! Walls, space, movement! It ALL matters in #TheAzureProject! #IndieGameDev #PuzzleDesign #IndieGames #GameDev #GameDesign #IndieGame #Mermaid #Merfolk #Patreon

One diver’s debris… is a merfolk’s treasure! Not that Az really understands what he finds dropping down from the surface half the time. #TheAzureProject #IndieGame #IndieDev #ConceptArt #IndieGameDev #Mermaid #Merfolk

We’re excited to share a sneak peek at our first in game cutscene! #TheAzureProject's story, atmosphere, and designs are all coming together... with a new demo landing on Patreon TOMORROW! #IndieGame #IndieGameDev #GameDev #Mermaid #Merfolk

Not every part of #TheAzureProject is under the waves, fighting off danger, or discovering an ancient treasure… Some moments are simply about kindness and the relationships that give the world meaning. #IndieGame #IndieDev #GameArt #ConceptArt #IndieGameDev #Mermaid #Merfolk

Az's life can get hectic but he always takes time to relax and drifting through the kelp forests for the occasional moments of calm and reflection in the world beneath the waves... #TheAzureProject #IndieGameDev #IndieGames #IndieDev #Mermaid #Merfolk

A brand new year is rising to the surface and with that 2026 marks another chapter in the journey of #TheAzureProject! Thank you for diving in with us because we can't wait to see what hidden treasures this year holds! #IndieGameDev #IndieGames #IndieDev #Mermaid #Merfolk #GameDevelopment

Seems like Az believes that one human’s trash is a mermaid’s treasure! You never know what you'll find at the bottom of the sea in #TheAzureProject! Be it lost tech, forgotten relics, a forbidden truth... or just another bottle! #IndieGame #Mermaid #GameDev #IndieDev #SupportIndie

From all of us at Broken Tail Interactive thank you for being the greatest treasure we could ask for this holiday season! Every bit of support helps us keep building #TheAzureProject and we truly couldn’t do it without you! #IndieGameDev #IndieGames #GameDev #HappyHolidays #Mermaid #SupportIndie

Looks like Az found some holiday treasure but the greatest treasure isn’t gold... it’s the stories we build together! And every bit of support, from following, liking, sharing, and joining our Patreon helps us dive deeper into #TheAzureProject! #IndieGameDev #IndieGames #Mermaid #SupportIndieDevs
