Unwinding, sped up gif version. #indie #gamedev #art #crochet 🧶 Wishlist Meander on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4714860/...

I've recorded a lot of gameplay footage but none of it seems good enough. I keep trying to make pretty stuff, even though that's not the point of the game. This is the part that's so satisfying about it... it's just fun to doodle and unwind (literally). #indie #gamedev #art #godot #crochet 🧶

Another doodle for today. Demo will be live by 25th. Need to do some final bug checks. #indie #gamedev #art #crochet #godot 🧶 Wishlist Meander on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4714860/...

Today's doodle. Getting a bunch of footage for the trailer today. Most old stuff is not usable since UI got a full overhaul... #indie #gamedev #art #crochet 🧶 Wishlist Meander on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4714860/...

So, the game suddenly stopped working. I'd barely changed any code so it took me a whole three hours to figure out what was happening. Conclusion: - Added close-pause-menu button. - Forgot to make it unpause the game. I've spent three+ hours reading the WHOLE codebase. #indie #gamedev

Updated steam page. There's still more pending. Wishlist Meander on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4714860/... #ScreenshotSaturday #indie #gamedev #art #crochet

Quick poll. Which one is better? #indie #gamedev #art #crochet 🧶

Brush update is done (for demo, there will be more for the full release.) Added a transparent, no-shading brush so it's now possible to make your own plain color blocks to play with. #indie #gamedev #godot #art #crochet 🧶 Wishlist Meander on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4714860/...

Hey! You know what! CALLING ALL INDIE GAME DEVS! Do you HATE genAI? Do you swear your game does not use genAI INCLUDING using genAI like Claude? SHARE IT HERE! I will share them! I will check them all out! I will definitely play some of them! Many if I can afford! SHARE! YOUR! ART!

Color shader effect update. Idk why I was only changing the color per block. This looks much better. I'll work on more improvements after the demo release. #indie #gamedev #godot #art

I can't stop. #indie #gamedev #art #crochet 🧶

I wonder if other people will have as much fun with my game as I do. Guess I'll find out soon. Demo will be out in a week. Terrifying. #indie #solodev #gamedev #godot #art #crochet 🧶 Wishlist Meander on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4714860/...

Making stuff for the trailer and steam page update. #indie #gamedev #godot #art #crochet 🧶

Scrapbook UX will be getting some major fixes before the demo. That's on the todo list after the steam page is updated... #indie #gamedev #art #crochet 🧶 Wishlist Meander on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4714860/...

Redoing stuff for the steam page... #indie #gamedev #godot #art #crochet 🧶

Demo coming soon... #indie #gamedev #godot #solodev #art #crochet 🧶

View through the window looks a bit more realistic now. #indie #gamedev #art

Added reference image functionality for the demo. Only 3 options so far. Fixing the tutorial next. Wishlist Meander: store.steampowered.com/app/4714860/... #indie #gamedev #art #crochet 🧶

And it's done. Next up, logo update. #indie #gamedev #art

Progress. Just a few more things left for this. What do you think? #indie #gamedev #art

Small update. #indie #gamedev #art

If I can't use the line or square tool for something, first sketches are always chicken-scratch. #indie #gamedev #art

Removed the bookcase. Shelves will auto-unlock whenever they're needed. Also redid shading on floor and ceiling and progress looks small but that's ok. No rushing this time. Wishlist Meander: store.steampowered.com/app/4714860/... #indie #solodev #gamedev #art

So far so good. New start screen art in progress. #indie #gamedev #art #wip

Redoing the main screen art. Going with colors more in theme with the rest of the game. Also it will not be a rush job this time, so hopefully the result will be better... #indie #gamedev #art

Playtest signups for Meander are open for another day: store.steampowered.com/app/4714860/... It's a cozy, crochet doodling and scrapbooking game. #indie #gamedev #solodev #art #crochet 🧶

UI update is live and available for playtesting! Wishlist or playtest Meander: store.steampowered.com/app/4714860/... #indie #gamedev #solodev #art #crochet 🧶

Meander by @matchstick345.bsky.social is a fun and relaxing "painting" game where you draw with crochet patterns instead of paint!🧶 store.steampowered.com/app/4714860/...

Custom brushes is the most fun thing about Meander. At least for the crochet part of the game. Wishlist Meander: store.steampowered.com/app/4714860/... #indie #gamedev #solodev #art #crochet 🧶

... I was expecting to be done with ALL the UI today. I am nowhere close. But hey, better backgrounds and hover text is done and fixed a couple bugs, so that's something. Wishlist or Playtest Meander: store.steampowered.com/app/4714860/... #indie #gamedev #solodev #art #UI

Ok. Progress. Slow progress. This looks ok for now. Not sure about the font though. #indie #gamedev #art Wishlist Meander: store.steampowered.com/app/4714860/...

UI is now responsive to hover and has sounds on clicks. Icons might be updated later. I like the idea of a full toolbox in the corner. Also made a crab doodle! Wishlist Meander: store.steampowered.com/app/4714860/... #indie #gamedev #art #crochet 🧶 #cozy

Playtests for Meander are still open if anyone would like to give feedback. Meander on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4714860/... #indie #gamedev #playtest #art #cozy 🧶

Nothing happens right the first, or second, or fifth time. This will some more tries before I nail the UI down... But small improvement? At least the clutter is gone? Wishlist Meander: store.steampowered.com/app/4714860/... #indie #gamedev #art #crochet 🧶

The Totemist Demo is out on June 1st! Mark the date, or make it easy by wishlisting and following the game on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4545470 This crafting shop sim game is for all #witchcraft and #occult lovers! #pixelart #occultsky #witchsky

I finally understand the UI problem. Took me the whole day to get the blinders off. There's too much same-y stuff all over the screen. Gotta simplify it. Mock crochet screen. Will be working on icons tomorrow. Wishlist Meander: store.steampowered.com/app/4714860/... #indie #gamedev #art

UI evolution from prototype to current version. Thinking of going back to a plain white-on-black buttons theme... With more icons, less text. Playtest feedback is not happy with UI style. Thoughts? Wishlist Meander: store.steampowered.com/app/4714860/... #indie #gamedev #art #crochet 🧶
