It might not be related to Steam Next Fest, but we have an exciting announcement coming next week. Stay tuned! 👀

Izzie why you gotta make a weird face like that when you're trash diving 😭 Jk I gave her that face 😈 #indiegame #indiegamedev

The point-and-click genre continues to flourish, and 2026 is shaping up to be another cracking year for adventure fans

That feeling when you have an achievable game demo roadmap ahead of you 😌 Just don't anyone jinx it 😂

Dear adventure game fans, We are an Aussie indie studio, and we're making a game where you explore a spooky national park and try to photograph cryptids. 📸 You can support us by sharing or wishlisting! 🌟 #indiedev #indiegames #madeingodot

We’re so excited for 2026, and what better way to start the year than by being included in a killer lineup of adventure games?

There’s a list of games that influence us: Firewatch, Oxenfree, Monkey Island. But the main ideas came from a long-form article about snow leopards. And shows like Gravity Falls and Twin Peaks. Indies shouldn’t just find inspo in other games! All of it helps shape Lone Pine. 🌲 #wishlistwednesday

Why am I recording Izzie lines while simultaneously playing chubby bunny? 🐰 You'll have to play the Lone Pine demo next year to find out! 👀 #indiegame #indiegamedev #gameaudio

@flippingbits.bsky.social (Dan) is the latest member of our DIY VO club 😎 To hear who he voices, stay tuned for the Lone Pine demo, hitting Steam in early 2026! 🌲 #indiegame #indiegamedev #gameaudio

Confirmation that Izzie has no friends 😅 Sorry Izzie, but it was very hilarious giving you that thousand-yard stare 😆 #indiegamedev #gameanimation #spine2d
