Is anyone as awful as me at forgetting to post consistent game updates? Anywhere, here is a new item dropping soon, the Flail of Rending! #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #DungeonBaller

Have you heard? We're exchanging games with our friends from Aotearoa! 🥰 Introducing: 🤖Dream Team Supreme by Big Adventure 🧙Bashful Adoration by @kittywampusgames.bsky.social ⚔️Dungeon Baller by @the-lazy-bones.itch.io Come playtest and hang out! RSVP here: events.humanitix.com/australia-x-...

Stocking up before the shortage 🤌 #OilCrisis #BreakingNews #humor #POV

Guys, DLSS5 is actually revolutionary for Dungeon Baller 😮 #DLSS5 #pinball #gamedev #spacecadet

I recently did a rebrand of the key art and the name of the game. What do you think? #dungeonballer #indiegame #gamedev

@wildvectorgames.bsky.social recently released their Kickstarter for Orbifold - the concept for the game is really fresh if anyone likes the idea of a co-op shooter that takes place inside an anti-gravity sphere! #indiegame #orbifold #gamedev

One step closer to living out my card collection addiction through my indie game. What should I add next? 🤔 #indiegame #gamedev #tcg #gragglegoblincardgame

You can now mess around with stuff while you have a game of wits with Grubfoot. #madewithgamemaker #indiegame #gamedev #tcg

It's #throwbackthursday to last years GGJ where we started Graggle, the Goblin Card Game - this year it's finally time to finish it 😅 #globalgamejam #indiegame #pixelart #tripletriad

Oops, haven't posted in a while! You sign contracts to buy stuff at Grubfoot's shop now. No real reason behind this other than I wanted it to be unique. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart

New Zealand indies are flourishing, with successes like DREDGE, Path of Exile, and Biotic Factor played by millions. So earlier this year at PAX, I made it my mission to play and speak with every Aotearoan dev on the showfloor. See what's being made by Kiwi devs: www.qualbert.com/new-zealand-...

IT'S FINALLY HERE! I'm very excited for you all to watch this video. It was so fun to create! Please share the love and support to the featured devs. I have all their Steam links in a thread on this post, so go wishlist them! 💙 #PAXAUS2025 #PAXRising #CODENZ Watch here ➡️ youtu.be/iO0ujBSiCCc

Thanks to everyone who attended #PAX and played our game! Jeremy and I had loads of fun - 30 hours of talking to players went by ridiculously fast and the bartop machine was a big hit. Next stop, #Weplay Shanghai! #gamedev #pinball #indiegame

A pinball roguelike?! 🤔😮 Game 👉 Pinball Hero #paxaus #indiegames #pinballhero @the-lazy-bones.itch.io

We've now got Pinball in the "what pre-existing games can we fill in the roguelike space?" niche with Pinball Hero. Following our hands-on time at PAX Aus 2025, we can't wait for its full release. @the-lazy-bones.itch.io @paxaus.bsky.social checkpointgaming.net/features/202...

The second day of #PAX comes to an end. Thanks to everyone that gave Pinball Hero a play! #gamedev #indiegame

Me and Glubby will be at #PAX this weekend with Pinball Hero. If you want to win a prize then come and find us! #gamedev #indiegame #pinball

The 𝖇𝖔𝖙𝖙𝖔𝖒𝖑𝖊𝖘𝖘 𝖖𝖚𝖎𝖛𝖊𝖗 is a spatial modifier that increases the potency of ranged items surrounding it. #pixelart #gamedev #indiegame #pinballhero

𝕳𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖘𝖑𝖎𝖒𝖊 𝕵𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖞 is a rare artefact item that augments your bombs - making them explode immediately on contact with increased explosion damage. Perfect for our gunpowder enjoyers 😎 #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart #pinballhero

If you're heading to #PAX in Melbourne next week, this is where you can find us. Sandwiched in between the big dogs 😌 Just look for the two weirdos wearing goblin ears (us). #Gamedev #indiegame #pinballhero

If you're heading to PAX Melbourne, come and say hi! We'll be showcasing there, equipped with an army of slimes to give away. These critters were kindly made by Speevcrochet & BubonicGoose. Check them out soon at bubonicgoose.com #gamedev #indiedev #pinballhero #plushy

Being an artist, my programming *° 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 °* has bugs with unintended consequences (or unintended fortune I guess). #indiegame #gamedev #pinballhero #bug

Excited to also be taking Pinball Hero to the Indie Debut Festival 😁 The festival season is truly underway - you can also catch me at NZGDC and PAX Melbourne if you're in the oceanic region 🌊 #gamedev #indiedev #debutfestival @gamedevist.bsky.social

I was surprised today to find out that an AI-slop game copied my name and is releasing their game in less than 72 hours of it's creation on Steam. I am also surprised that they called it 'Pinball Hero' when the game is clearly Peggle and not Pinball 🤨 #pinballhero #legaladvise #indiegame #indiedev

The whoopie cushion item reduces your dash cooldown but also adds a farting noise to it which was extremely important and I am unwilling to budge on #pixelart #gamedev #indiegame

Occasionally as a balance tweak I need to change item dimensions. For example the 𝙛𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙘𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙗𝙡𝙖𝙙𝙚 was updated from a 1x1 to an r-block inventory shape. #pixelart #gamedev #roguelike #indiegame

The 𝕯𝖜𝖆𝖗𝖛𝖊𝖓 𝕷𝖔𝖓𝖌𝖇𝖔𝖜 is a ranged item that excels at killing large monsters - hitting up to 3x times depending on their size. #roguelike #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart

Going on from my last post, when you use the elixir of great fortune you roll some pretty OP loot in the shop! #indiegame #gamdev #pixelart #roguelike

The potion of great fortune can be found in the claw machine event and grants 99 luck for one round, if you use it right it leads to some pretty funny possibilities. (all random events, loot rolls and secrets are based off luck) #pixelart #roguelike #gamedev #indiegame

One of my personal favourites. The repair hammer is a throwable item that does damage to enemies but repairs your slings on contact. #pixelart #gamedev #indiegame

A magic quiver item that boosts ranged damage for each 'bow' or 'crossbow' in your inventory. #pixelart #gamedev #indiegame

The Elven Quiver adds +1 projectile to any bow. Interestingly for the Master Bow volley effect, it basically does a double volley which was unexpected but cool. #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #pinball

My students told me about this guy called Tung Tung Tung Sahur - He's not going in the game, I swear... (unless? 👀) #indiedev #cursed #brainrot #gamedev

My Pinball Roguelike; Pinball Hero - has a web demo now live at the-lazy-bones.itch.io/pinball-hero. If you like roguelites please give it a try and let me know what you think 😁 (Epilepsy warning BTW!) #gamedev #indiedev #pinball #roguelike

The Five-Clover Blade adds damage based on your characters LUCK stat. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

New (left) vs old (right) UI panel for Pinball Hero. The stats were particularly lacking and I felt that they needed a glow up so that people can more easily track how their stats are affecting the game. #indiedev #indiegame #pinballhero #pixelart

The Chalice of Sorrow (rare item) allows your pinball score to overflow into the next level #gamedev #pixelart #indiegame #pinballhero

Every Robin needs his Hood. #pixelart #roguelike #indiegame #gamedev

Adding a couple of capes as general armour items to the game. First one is the Wizards Cloak, because capes are in. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

The Horn of Heroes calls in another class hero to come and help ya out! It's the only current way to have more than one hero in on the action. #pixelart #roguelike #indiegame #gamedev

'The Collector' converts your highscore (a.k.a souls) into magic damage. For every 20,000 score you gain 1 Intelligence. It's kinda like going to school. #pixelart #gamedev #indiegame #roguelike

99% of claw machine operators quit before they strike it big #indiegame #gamedev #clawmachine #pixelart

No pets or beasts were harmed in the making of this item. That's a Grubfoot Co. guarantee. #pixelart #roguelite #gamedev #indiegame

An offer you can't refuse! #humor #gamedev #indiedev #meme

No regrets tho #indiedev #gamedev #meme #humor

The Angel on my shoulder tells me to stop adding new items (at about 170) 😇 The Devil on my shoulder tells me to keep going 😈 Who should I listen to? 🙏 #pinball #roguelike #indiedev #gamedev

I'm not a trained programmer. Sometimes I get multiple programming friends collectively scratching their heads as they try and figure out HOW and WHY my code is even working 😂 #gamedev #indiedev #programming #gamedevelopment

I don't think Bluesky posts like pixel art too much with the compression. Just pretend my character Grubfoot looks nice and crisp & let me know what you think about him and his companion Pebbles. #pixelart #indiegame #gamedev
