CONSTANCE UPDATE 1.1 IS NOW OUT ON STEAM!💜🔥 Includes: - Arabic support - Big map improvements - New game modes - Boss improvements - Re-balancing of economy & combat - More accessibility options (i.e., cutscene skip) - Many more tweaks & fixes Also, the game is 20% OFF right now!💸

We're in the final testing phase of our quality of life update for Constance and VERY soon you can finally experience the game in Arabic as well!💜 Thank you for your patience, we will update you as soon as the patch is live!

This post by the great @duckvalentine.bsky.social is actually a great example of "listen for users' issues, not their solutions". The issue seems to be that users don't know the commitment your demo asks, but you're the one who can solve for that with full understanding of your game/demo/context.

💵 MONEY for GAME? In 2026??? 💵 There have been more and more successful-game-devs-turned-game-funders popping up, so here's a lil' thread of some of the more recent ones I've seen. Hopefully this helps you get some $$$! 🔽

Constance is only on sale for a couple of days more, get it now while it’s still -20% off! 💜

Massive thanks to everyone who is part of the first 15.000 Constance Sales!!💜 We are already working on some fixes and QoL changes based on your feedback! Please leave a Steam review if you can it helps us a lot!💜

What the f... I'm just completely floored by the positive response 🥹

It's almost out... can't believe it. Been testing it like crazy and continuing to do so today, and... it feel weird to day this, but it feels good to play! Like, it's the first game I've worked on that I can actually still enjoy as the developer! So, maybe we might have done something right here 😁💜

The game I've been working on is almost here! 💜 We're so close to release, almost can't believe and process that. Sounds surreal. One final push, LETS GOOOOO 🔥🔥🔥

It's #PortfolioDay! Hi I'm Doriane, an indie dev/game artist 🌻 I make art for games and illustrations 🌱

Para começar a dar ritmo à indústria portuguesa por estes lados, fiz este Starter Pack com os developers e estúdios portugueses que sei que estão na plataforma até agora! 🇵🇹 Vou continuar a adicionar à lista enquanto a malta se junta. Se me tiver esquecido de vocês, avisem! 🚋 go.bsky.app/JhcMTM8

We’re starting a new chapter 📖 btf Games is now Blue Backpack – indie dev & publisher for Constance, The Berlin Apartment, and more. Find us at Gamescom Hall 10.2 with @byterockers.bsky.social and join the biggest party of the week at Dosenbeatz 🎉

Hire this artist!! This is not an advice. If you are currently looking for an artist, you have an obligation towards the project and your team / yourself to not let this opportunity pass! That's how confident I am in Uriel and his work, as someone who has the pleasure of calling him my colleague 💙

Here's the progress I made this week on my Colony Sim + RPG game! ⚒️🤖⚔️ Characters finally have clothes and hair! Only one option for each for now but others will come in time! Also new fence and resource pile art! #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine #screenshotsaturday

Hey there, friends! I'm looking for some nice freelance work. Let me know if you need some art done for your projects or know someone who does. I work with standard market rates. Let's collab!

Some fresh ideas for your next chair-sit.

Sigh.

I have shared this story, this thread, before - but I think given the state of the world, it's worth telling once again. Maybe it can help, especially if like me, you make art, and you wonder what the use of all of it is right now.

MUSIC IF LIFE!!! I'm so pumped that our soundtrack is already slowly being released, so that everyone can enjoy Tiago's amazing creativity, skill and hard work on Constance 😊💜

This past Saturday and weekend as a whole was wild. So wonderful seeing all the positive responses and love Constance is getting 😊💜

I'm pleased to announce that the Game UI Database Summer Update will launch next week!! This will come with a ton of much-requested QOL fixes, and new features such as a revamped Colour Filter tool with the ability to filter by harmonies, as well as wider searches for warm and cool hues. Stay tuned!

We hiiiiiighly recommend checking out the @futuregamesshow.bsky.social Summer Showcase this Saturday! 👀💜 📅 Saturday, June 7 ⌛️ 1pm PT | 4pm ET | 9pm WEST | 10pm CEST 📺 youtube.com/live/3F3ivfA7-Vg?si=jWy3-NyrLlw286B6 #FutureGamesShow #SummerGameFest #indiegames #gaming #comingsoon

What are you doing? Nevermind that, just pause it and go hire this dude! Like right now! David is nothing short of awesome, both as a developer and as a person. I am very lucky to have worked with him and to call him a close friend 💙 But really, don't think twice. It's rare for him to be available

On a bit of a Rival Schools kick, so here's a paint-over of an old post-it note #akira #rivalschools

Happy Friday! It's nearly the weekend! 🎉 The Crimson Diamond currently has 492 Steam reviews, soooo close to 500! If you've enjoyed the game and can spare a minute or too, please leave a review. It super helps us solo/small team indies get more visibility! store.steampowered.com/app/1098770/... 😊

My talk "I Don't Want to Succeed, for Art's Sake" is available to watch now :) Disclaimer: it's an industry rant by someone that has been a hermit for the past 5 years. Also I talk about remote work a & documentation (cuz I love boring work) youtu.be/0GlinUN2at8?...

hi #portfolioday I'm chel, I enjoy long walks through the clouds and fantastical #pixelart crafting if you'd like to support me I have wallpaper packs in my kofi shop and prints in my inprnt shop ☁️💖🌙 ✨ ko-fi.com/chelfaust/shop ✨ www.inprnt.com/gallery/chel/

“Something something” here are some screenshots of Constance 💜📷

We are trying to build up the community we had in "the other place" that took us years to get. If you are an Indie Dev, Indie Studio, Indie Fan, give us a follow, we do some cool stuff and showcase top end indie games every year.

Bizarre end of the world vibes in Portugal today. Happy to see plenty of examples of goodwill between folks at this time, like my neighbor Cila who I hadn't spoken to before but wanted to force me to take a big jug of water from her :D

Wtf is going on? Electrical grid is down and not even phone calls seems to be going through. Internet is spotty at best. Several countries in Europe seem to be affected??

Last night I was asked to reshare a talk I did back in 2017, which didn't get filmed the many times I gave it. Let's do it as a thread. I've not done an informational thread on here before, interested to see how folks like it. (forgive obvious stuff, it was ever so slightly fresher 8 years ago)

Our GDC talk is up on the vault for free! gdcvault.com/play/1035090...

Just pic up a pencil and draw, learn, make mistakes and have fun 🫠 #starterpacknoai #comic

Like, just as an example, @constancegame.bsky.social for no particular reason in special 😁💜😉

If you see a cool new game you’re interested in - ✨ WISHLIST IT. ✨ If you’ve bought a new game and you’re loving it - ✨ LEAVE A REVIEW. ✨ These are really easy and important ways to support the games you love. 🎮❤️

WE FINALLY OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED! The trailer is out!!

Our Booth at the London Games Festival! #indiedev

I can finally do a #screenshotsaturday again! Villagers now go about their work! Gatherers can modify the world, like cutting trees, and will open up space for building sites. Builders will then deliver goods to them and start constructing! #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

Now streaming the development of my Colony Sim + RPG game! ⚒️🤖⚔️ Updating the project to Godot 4.4, and also fixing combat! Come join me! www.twitch.tv/sorcerystory #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

Who was the fucker who told beginner artists that references are cheating? I can’t believe this ever became an issue

We got an award for best art style today! 🎉🏆 Feeling blessed right now 😊 Special congrats to my amazing colleagues who are doing an awesome job at making Constance look her best 💜💜
