Back when I was starting out with #unity3d and #blender I used to embellish my textures with little motivational messages to myself... 🫢 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #storybased

Here’s the HUGE hand painted watercolour map for my game Bibdu! Made to the same scale as it will be on screen~ It took 3 days to sketch and paint and still missing some detail but happy to have it done to this level for now! #bibdu #ireland #indiedev #gamedev #handdrawn

Solace Creek is a Horror game with a focus on suspense, exploration, stealth & puzzle solving. Free Demo on Steam now! #horrorgame #indiegame #indiehorrorgame

This was a really fun low-poly prop to make. The procedural pipe system gets to really shine here, because every penguin home has its own unique heater placement and pipe placement that matches with the chimney outside. #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

Little by little. #indiedev #solodev #rainrainrain

📢 There will be a Mayfly demo on Steam in the next few weeks ⏰ Demo should be around 10 mins ⏱️ Full game will be roughly 60-90 mins 🤔 *Technically* set entirely on the boat, but also sort of…not 🙏Wishlist here… store.steampowered.com/app/4057470/... #gamedev #steamdemo #indiegame #storybased

Here is the kitchen grey-boxed in Blender in January 2024 versus today. Hopefully the lighting and mood is slightly better now 😅 Wishlist Mayfly here: store.steampowered.com/app/4057470/... #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #blender #unity3d #storybased

After a month of no actual dev work I finally started modelling the bathroom. I even put in a cassette toilet (boaty ppl pls let me know if it's wrong) Wishlist Mayfly here: store.steampowered.com/app/4057470/... #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #quiethorror #ukcanals #unity3d #storybased

For years I thought I was just bad at paying attention. Turns out, a piece of my story was missing. In my new blog, I share the long journey to discovering my Deafblind identity. Read here: thecrslife.com/2026/03/10/t... #Deafblind #CRS #DisabilityJourney #LifeStory #Advocacy #DisabilityAwareness

🔮So begins the long journey of self promo.✨ The initial (still very WIP) Steam page for Marblous Worlds is live. If rolling around vibrant worlds and making your own marble design sounds fun to you I'd appreciate a wishlist 💖 store.steampowered.com/app/3469260/... #IndieGame #Godot4 #GameDev #Games

Finally settled on a name for my next game: SHUNNED LAND. Coming March 2026 - stay tuned! #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot #horrorgame #indiegame #wip #digitalart #lowpoly

Another gem from my old dev progress videos, this one makes me chuckle - though I do like the old font 🙃 September 2023 versus today. It's surprising just how much of the environment was actually in place back then 🌳 #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #horrorgame #quiethorror #ukcanals #storybased

I will be jumping straight on getting this as soon as it's released. Go add it to your wishlist, it's shaping up to be a brilliantly creepy little game 😁 #UKCanals

I stumbled across some early build progress videos for Mayfly. When you feel like you're making no progress at all it's good to remind yourself how far you've come! September 2023 v today. Hopefully you can tell which is which 😆 #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #quiethorror #horrorgame #storybased

Genius to make a horror game on a narrow boat

✨ TESTIMONIAL TUESDAY! ✨ I'm still overwhelmed by the support for the recent cast announcement for Hearthfall. Thank you for reaching out and supporting my creative journey 😊 The director has kindly left me a lovely testimonial which reminds me why I love what I do 🧡 #voiceactor #testimonialtuesday

The entire narrowboat world fascinates me and I just imagine each one is its own horror… and now finally a game.

*Steam/marketing advice needed please* My Steam page stats: • CTR: 85% (very high) • Wishlists: 3.5% (low) Feels like I’m losing people after the click. Is the trailer too slow in the first 10s? Or something else I’m missing? Brutal honesty welcome #steam #gamedev #indiedev #gamemarketing

Mayfly is a short story-led quiet horror set entirely on a narrowboat in Northern England. Coming Q3 2026 🤞 Wishlist now if you haven’t already: store.steampowered.com/app/4057470/... #gamedev #indiegame #solodev #horrorgame #quiethorror #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #gametrailer #promosky

✨ NEW WORK - GAME TRAILER! ✨ I'm honoured to be voicing the protagonist Caroline Miller in this game trailer for Mayfly, as well as the full game which will be released in Q3! Please go and wishlist via the link in my bio and show support to Chris at @backyardzoo.bsky.social #voiceactor #indiegame

I'm honoured to be playing the voice of Caroline 😁 Cant wait for everybody to see and hear the full game!

Added some more customisable settings to Mayfly: V-Sync, windowed mode and a new #a11y feature to increase the crosshair size (suggested by @mustlovedon.bsky.social) The UI throughout Mayfly also has full keyboard navigation support ⌨️ #gamedev #accessibility #indiedev #horror #quiethorror #unity

I love living on a boat, but the potential creepiness of the life has been long neglected by the entertainment industry. When this game releases I'm going to be straight on to getting it. My curiosity and the itch to play are eating me alive 😁 #UKCanals

Here's the new Mayfly cinematic trailer! 🎦 This one really captures the descent into darkness which is at the heart of the game. ⬇️🔦 If you haven't wishlisted yet, you can here: store.steampowered.com/app/4057470/... #gamedev #indiegame #solodev #unity3d #horrorgame #quiethorror #indiedev #steam

Omg there's going to be a horror game about my childhood!!! (My childhood was actually pretty great but I did spend a lot of it on narrowboats)

I am delighted to announce that I'm going to be voice acting as the main protagonist in this first person indie horror game 😁 Chris is doing an amazing job as a solo dev so please watch the trailer below and wishlist Mayfly on Steam! #voiceactor #indiegame #horrorgame #collab #solodev #gametrailer

I recently completed Stray - 3 years after buying it. That’s quite a quick turnaround for me these days but… Wow - what a gorgeous game…the deep, grimy urban jungle was so much fun to explore as a cat. 😽🤖 #playstation #ps5 #gamedev #stray

There’ll Disney energy in today’s Sims stream as I attempt to create Snow White in CAS. I also get to show the trailer for Mayfly by @backyardzoo.bsky.social. Exciting soft horror, based on a narrow boat. Coming later this year on Steam and talking about how games like this can be made accessible.

Thank you. Love this! I've never expected Mayfly to be anything other than a niche little game that 12 people will play + reading comments like this makes it all worthwhile. Maybe I'll make another... #accessibility #gamedev #indiegame #madewithunity #unity3d

Feel physically sick with nerves but...my first game Mayfly is now available to wishlist on Steam! #gamedev #indiegame #gametrailer #horrorgame #solodev store.steampowered.com/app/4057470/... If the game is anywhere near as terrifying as me 'pressing the button' on Steam then it'll be f-ing scary

It’s taken over 3 weeks to put together a 50 second teaser trailer for Mayfly ☠️ I hope to finally launch my Steam page in the next week or two 🫣 Game = 70% complete 😇 @mustlovedon.bsky.social are you still happy to do the first live stream once the steam page is up? #gamedev #indiegame

Fired up DuckStation with my little boy and showed him some of my old favourites. Genuinely might sneak in a few more goes on Colin McRae Rally when he’s in bed 🫣. So much fun - unlike most old games it still lived up to the rose-tinted memories. #gamedev #psx #retrogaming #playstation

Christmas can be heavy, quiet, or lonely. This is a story about light that stayed, light that returned, and a tiny tree that carried hope for 26 years. If you need something soft today, this one’s for you 🎄✨ thecrslife.com/2025/12/25/a... #ChristmasBlog #LightInTheDark #Hope #NotAlone #ChristmasDay

Things have taken a rather dark turn indeed 😱 Where do you think this dark tunnel leads to? 🤔 Scene 2 is now end-to-end complete, just needs polish. Onto the final scene #gamedev #madewithunity #horrorgame #indiegame #indiedev
