Today we tested our first mobile build of Canvas of Thoughts. Let’s just say… some things still need a little optimization. Evi was not prepared for what the phone did to her proportions. #gamedev #indie #cozygaming #narrativgames #canvasofthoughts

Not every puzzle is about finding the “correct” answer. In Canvas of Thoughts, puzzles are shaped by how Evi experiences the world around her. Observe. Interpret. Feel your way through. #gamedev #indie #cozygaming #narrativgames #canvasofthoughts

Environment Art Spotlight #2: Evi’s Room💜 This is where Evi feels safest. Compared to the classroom, the difference isn’t just visual. It’s emotional. #gamedev #indiegame #environmentart #watercolor #cozygames #neurodiversity

Welcome to Evi´s World! 💜 Jeff is also supporting me again :D #gamedev #indie #cozygaming #narrativgames #canvasofthoughts

This game doesn’t explain autism. Because not everything needs to be explained. Some things are meant to be felt. #indiegame #gamedev #neurodiversity #autismacceptance #cozygames #indiedev #storydriven #canvasofthoughts

All of it started with a question. Why are there so few games that let you feel this? This is my answer. #indiegame #gamedev #neurodiversity #autismawareness #cozygames #indiedev #gameart #storydriven #canvasofthoughts

April is Autism Acceptance Month. We’re creating Canvas of Thoughts to share what the world can feel like, through the eyes of Evi, an autistic 11-year-old girl. This isn’t about explaining autism. It’s about being seen. #AutismAcceptanceMonth #Neurodiversity #gamedev #indie #cozygaming

Environment Art Spotlight #1: The Classroom. Watch as Evi's world comes alive, evolving from a sketch into the final artsytle. Every brushstroke conveys emotion. #gamedev #indiegame #watercolour #cozygames #cozygaming #narrativgames #canvasofthoughts

Stimming is a very grounding and calming activity for many autistic people. But it's different for everyone. This is Evis's way of stimming! What movement do you like to make repeatedly? #gamedev #indie #cozygaming #narrativgames #canvasofthoughts

Today’s bug of the day: Evi is supposed to get a light screen shake when she’s overwhelmed. Instead we accidentally created Earthquake Evi, be aware of her power! 10/10 dramatic effect 0/10 intended feature #indiedev #gamedev #bugsoftheday

Many people ask what Canvas of Thoughts is supposed to be. So here’s what it isn’t: Not a documentary. Not a medical simulation. Not a story about “fixing” someone. It's about perception. It's about how the same world can feel completely different depending on who experiences it. #gamedev #indie

Meet Evi. She’s 11 years old, she loves drawing, climbing and watching movies. Sometimes, she finds the world around her a little too loud and confusing, but she’s still trying to figure out why. This is just the beginning of her story. #CanvasOfThoughts #IndieGame #GameDev

Today is International Women’s Day. In the gaming world, girls and women are still underrepresented, particularly in leading roles. Similarly, girls on the autism spectrum are much less likely to be diagnosed, even though many of them experience the world differently.

Are you convinced to join my journey? 🫡 Sometimes being a bit silly is important #gamedev #indie #cozygaming #narrativgames #canvasofthoughts

We've made some tweaks here and there, and the game's artistic style is still evolving, but it's close to how we want it to portray Evi's feelings. #gamedev #indie #cozygaming #narrativgames #canvasofthoughts

First Step: Make a cool game. Second Step: Help?! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #cozygaming #narrativgames #canvasofthoughts

Hey there! This is Ronja from Bandaloop Games. I want to support more other small game developers. If you have a demo on Steam with fewer than ~ 25 reviews, post your link here and I will play it and write a review in the next few days!

You can watch us play our demo of Walk The Frog live on YouTube. www.youtube.com/live/VZL_vha...

Imagine: - Deponia’s point & click energy - Gris’ emotional world - A Little to the Left’s satisfying puzzle vibes That’s kind of what we’re trying to cook with Canvas of Thoughts. A story about feeling different, told through gameplay. (Real footage 👀) #gamedev #indiedev

Kokorokon was a success! Great feedback ✅ New contacts ✅ Unexpected bugs discovered in real time ✅✅✅ Nothing reveals edge cases like having hundreds of curious players. Worth it! Back to debugging! #gamedev #indiedev #cozygaming #narrativgames #canvasofthoughts

How to find us at Kokorkon!

There are two stages of convention prep: “We’re prepared.” “Why is this bug happening now?” See you at Kokorokon. 💜 #gamedev #indie #cozygaming #narrativgames #canvasofthoughts

Why point & click? Because we love the genre and because it’s accessible. Easy to learn, no fast inputs, no pressure. You decide what to do and when to do it, every step of the way. That freedom is exactly why point & click felt right for our game. #gamedev #indie #cozygaming #narrativgames
