The Compass will be one of your most important tools, trying to reach the north pole, so happy how it turned out! #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDeveloper #gamedev #swissgames #Unity

Controll-Room for my early 20th century arctic exploration game is coming along nicely ☺️ #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDeveloper #gamedev #swissgames #Unity

Just a quick update, I'm still finishing up the model for Submarine1, but would say it is now 70% complete. Here are once again some wip pictures: P.S. submitted the steam page for review, cant wait to share! 👀 #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDeveloper #gamedev #swissgames #Unity

Just slowly, working through all the things that need modeling. Also did a big refactor of a core system today, which finally clears some roadblocks I had. In the mean time, here are some WIP pictures for you: #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDeveloper #gamedev #swissgames #Unity

Working on the diesel generator for the submarine exploration game. I'm currently doing some personal tweaks to the model in my free time but in general it's awesome seeing this thing running in game. Jonas modelled the original, I'm just making some tweak's to the model shown in the screenshots.

Vintage Submarine diesel engine and generator go brrr #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDeveloper #gamedev #swissgames #Unity

I have been playing around with procedural edge wear lately, as its a big part of the visual identity for Project North. Will post a System breakdown when it its fully finished but man was this a pain 🥲 #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDeveloper #gamedev #swissgames #Unity

Update Time👏: I've completed all the planning documents some time ago and just recently the MVP as well. So, I'm now working on the first demo for this game! In the meantime, take these WIP shots of Submarine1: #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDeveloper #gamedev #swissgames #Unity

I’ve finished my game planning and MVP from the #IndieExpedition and now I’m starting to build the Demo. I’m giving it my all to release this game (or at least the demo) this year! #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDeveloper #gamedev #swissgames #Unity

🧵1/4 System breakdown: Sonar By using 5 cameras that all have an FOV of 90° pointed in to each direction (except backwards), we can generate render textures that capture the brightness (and color). #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDeveloper #gamedev #swissgames #Unity

🧵1/3 System breakdown: Sketching This will allow you to add a personal touch to every page of your daily exploration journal, document your struggles and document never before seen secrets hidden beneath the ice. #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDeveloper #gamedev #swissgames #Unity

Making a Starter Pack featuring fellow Swiss (indie) game devs. So if you are based in Switzerland, let me know. We might be a small country but with our games we can bring joy to so many! #swissgames, #swissIndieDev, #swissDevs, #gamedev, #indiedev go.bsky.app/6hQhhBb

(1/2) It is getting really fun to run around my 19th century submarine and making sketches to put in to the journal entry for today. #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDeveloper #gamedev #swissgames #Unity

"My Rusty Submarine - New Waters" is coming to Steam soon! Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/2810270/... #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #coop #multiplayerMy

I have been waiting for this day since I last sailed the skies of Worlds Adrift.

New try on the thin ice, through winch you can stick your snorkel to refill the Oxygen of your late 19th century inspired submarine. Think like this it is quite clear even when you are further away. #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDeveloper #gamedev #swissgames #Unity

Effect to show thin ice, do you think Option C is enough? When you are on your expedition to the north pole, these pockets are essential to your success, as they allow you to refill your air supply => Run Diesel. #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDeveloper #gamedev #swissgames #Unity

Narrow passages can be quite nerve wracking to navigate, as you need to be extremely careful not to crash and risk damaging the hull! That would most certainly not be a good time. #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDeveloper #gamedev #swissgames #Unity

Its neat and all but sometimes I really ask my self how much time I would save (or loose?) if I would not know how to do editor code and custom inspectors. #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDeveloper #gamedev #swissgames #Unity

Last task before warping up the MVP Build, for my 19th century arctic submarine expedition inspired game. When creating a new expedition you can choose what and how many of the vitals you wanna take with you. #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDeveloper #gamedev #swissgames

Settings incl. key rebinding and Controller support finished for the MVP build! #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDeveloper #gamedev #swissgames

We are getting so close to a first testable build now! Settings are in, now only the pre expedition submarine configuration screen is missing! #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDeveloper #gamedev #swissgames

It is really starting to feel like one of those 19th century arctic exploration submarines now! Spend some time on the conning station, adding more gauges, hand wheels and so on. Any ideas how the 3D sonar could fit? #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDeveloper #gamedev #swissgames

Some more more work on the UI, what are your thoughts on the in game notebook as a pause menu? #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDeveloper #gamedev #swissgames

Last thing before uploading a first build to itch, making a rudimentary UI so you can save, load and so on. Logo is an AI place holder for now. #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDeveloper #gamedev #swissgames

The map table (death reckoning tracer) turned out to be absolutely crucial, as without it, the game felt pointless in some way. Now you see on one glance where your goal is and what your path was. My furthest attempt shown bellow. #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDeveloper #gamedev

Here is a little walk through my current proof of gameplay submarine. in no way represents the final vision. Reason is that currently there is not much to show while I'm adjusting the values to make the game play feel "right"... #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDeveloper #gamedev

Only made small progress today, but I got the controls all in so I can now in a rudimentary way actually play the game, yay. #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDeveloper #gamedev

All hooked up now, if CO2 gets to high in your submarine, your gonna have a bad time! (Ofc, speed up for demonstration) #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDeveloper #gamedev

Woop woop ScreenEffects, if you mismanage your submarine you might have to deal with Hypothermia, Heat Strokes or most likely lack of oxygen or too much CO2 in the air... So better watch those gauges very close! #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDeveloper #gamedev

Stuff is slowly coming together for my 19th century arctic submarine exploration inspired game. (Ofc, speed up for demonstration) I can now light up indicators and even sound alarms if certain values reach unhealthy ranges. #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDeveloper #gamedev

My 19th century submarine exploration game needed some Gauges, soooo I made this 🙈. Also these old gauges always had like lots of text on them, I'm so tempted to just fill them with easter eggs 🤣. What would you write? #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDeveloper #gamedev

Trying to figure out on how I wanna do the sonar for my 19th century arctic submarine exploration inspired game. I'm currently exploring 2 approaches, which one would you choose/prefer? 1. Some old CRT monitors showing you the depth image gathered by the sensors 2. 3D point cloud #gamedev #indiedev

I joined the #GameDevBits #IndieExpedition. I’m going to release my #indiegame on December 1st, 2025. It’s go time! Its totally free, so if you're up for the challenge as well: gamedevbits.com/gamedevbits-...

Another project from the past, unfortunately still unreleased (see comment on why). But still though I share it here as well. Once again, a train based game, although this time a very much skill based one. #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDeveloper #gamedev

Here is some more from my casual mars monorail game, where you can see that delivering goods/people will earn you Reputation to unlock higher paying customers and new areas, as well as Cash to spend on cosmetics (like the hat). #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDeveloper #gamedev

I've been home sick due to a strong cold lately, but still, you need to pass your time somehow, so ... let me introduce you to a little cozy mars monorail game, with a heavy focus on #accessibility. What do you think? #IndieDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDeveloper #gamedev
