We've done it. We've just hit the release button on our biggest game yet... DEMON TIDES IS OUT NOW ON STEAM! AHHHHH! An open world platforming adventure full of mysteries, challenges and a ton of customization! Express yourself through the movement and explore the oceans!

Can't remember the last time I coded this much. Usually I'm doing a mix of art, code, design, etc. But this month has mostly just been coding tons of systems that are needed before I can make real content for my new game. Super draining, but it's nice to see it all come along 🥹

This time last year ... Rachael lists ten more indie games that are great for relaxation, self-care, and mental well-being. With titles from: @ustwogames.co.uk @somehumbleonion.bsky.social @pouncelight.bsky.social @spiritcitylofi.bsky.social and more! #IndieGames #MentalHealth

Bobo Bay releases April 29th!!! Check out the release date trailer below for some new stuff!

New game is coming along very nicely ^_^ That's all I can say for now unfortunately, but I'm hard at work on it every single day!

🎮 Esta semana, reseño brevemete #SmushiComeHome: un encantador videojuego de aventuras en el que debemos guiar a un pequeño hongo de vuelta a su hogar. @somehumbleonion.bsky.social @mooneyestudios.com #Videojuegos #Reseñas Lee mi reseña aquí. 👇

You know a project is getting serious when you decide to get a github repo setup for it >:)

Happy New Year!! This community means so much to me and I really appreciate the continued support ❤️ Thanks for making this an amazing year!

People get hung up on "I don't know how to write a good review" but honestly you don't need paragraphs of analysis and observations. Don't compare yourself to a journalist. "I loved it!" or "I had fun" are equally valid reviews, AND matter just as much to the Steam algorithm to support game devs!

Smushi Come Home is 50% OFF on Steam and Switch! Now's a good chance to explore the forest and help Smushi get back home! 🍄🍃

Thank you all so much for an amazing year <3 We hit over 100k copies sold, released Smushi vinyls, and had tons of kind reviews! I'm still working on new game ideas every day. It's been tough finding the right one to work on but I'm getting there! Thanks for sticking around 🥰

Thank you so much for having me do a panel @ggxorg.bsky.social ! Was such a fun event and I can't wait till the next one 🥰 (Also ty for the amazing Smushi fan art!!)

Really excited to be doing a panel at GGX this Saturday! Be sure to swing by the event if you're in the Atlanta area. It's completely free!

I can't believe it's been a year since we played Smushi Come Home by @somehumbleonion.bsky.social! 🥺💚 I was still flat and in my first PNG version as well! www.youtube.com/watch?v=oL3S... This game means so much to me and it's definitely on the 10 games to get to know me list.

Gorgon's Garden is out now! A joint effort between @squp.bsky.social and I, GG tasks you with exploring both a forum and a defunct MMO to solve the greatest mystery of all. #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity [Link Below!]

I'm a bit late with this news, but Smushi Come Home has sold over 100k copies... Absolutely INSANE! 😭 This little game is so important to me and I can't believe it's reached this many players. Thanks for playing everyone! I promise there is more to come from here❤️

My game Smushi Come Home has a lil 40% discount this week for the Steam Fall sale! 🍄🍂

I'm really sorry for the lack of updates on my new projects.. I recently moved into a new place, which has been exciting but also a ton of work! (It's a very old home 😅) Thanks for sticking around tho ❤️ Means the world to me and I plan to get back to game deving soon!

Someone left a very interesting Steam review for my game and I just had to make a video on it. Enjoy 🍄

Nothing to see here. Just something I've started working on recently... 👀

It's a great day for cozy indie games 🥹

I'm testing the waters with a new game idea that's really speaking to me. Honestly I've thought about making this for a while now. The burn out got to me tho 😅 Might be a lil while till I share anything new, but I promise it'll be worth it! 💜

Sorry if I don't share much on the new game for a lil bit. I've hardly had the time to work on it lately because I'm still super busy with moving into our new place 😭

There are just some games that stick with you that you wish you could experience for the first time again. @botanymanor.bsky.social @somehumbleonion.bsky.social @studiodrydock.com @sandwitchdev.bsky.social www.comfycozygaming.com/2025/07/16/c...

Not sure if I'm loving this effect, but I made it so enemies turn red as their attack charges up. It makes it easier to time your dodge rolls, so if anything I'll keep it as an "easy mode" setting or something like that 👀

lil preview of some sound effects I've been cooking up 🔊🔊

Creating SFX for my new game is proving to be a real challenge 😅 I'm by no means a professional sound designer. Kinda just doing what I did with Smushi and mix/modify samples I record or find. It's really satisfying when you get it right though!

Guaraná-inspired low poly monsters I'm modeling for ABYSS X ZERO! Animating these was a lot of fun! Music: Crystalline - UNSIGHTED OST by @ironfairy.bsky.social #gamedev #indiegame #lowpoly #blender

Trying to polish the Parry ability with some more visual feedback. It's coming along c:

AHHHH the Smushi OST Vinyl came in the mail today!! The colors, the artwork, the mushroom-printed vinyl. It's beautiful. So glad we got to make these, and they're still available @veryokvinyl.com !!

Steam Summer Sale is upon us and with so many amazing games to choose from, it can be hard to narrow down. This is a list we've compiled of our favorites to help guide you! @somehumbleonion.bsky.social @janbehchanbeh.bsky.social @spiritcitylofi.bsky.social www.comfycozygaming.com/2025/06/27/s...

My cozy adventure game, Smushi Come Home, is 50% OFF on Steam for the Summer Sale! Check it out or share it with a friend if you want to help spread the word 🥰🍄 store.steampowered.com/app/1740300/...

Also, here's a scene from another game I've been working on 🏝️ #gamedev

fishing hitstop. i am truly revolutionizing fishing games right here

I've been experimenting with combat a lot in my new game. It's been a big challenge trying to see what direction I should take things. I think I've been overcomplicating it, but I also don't want it to be too simple. It's been a lot of prototyping and scrapping 😵‍💫

Stream schedule! Monday we're playing @somehumbleonion.bsky.social Smushi Come Home. We get to play as a little mushroom trying to find its way home! On Tuesday and Wednesday it's Expedition 33 @expedition33.bsky.social twitch.tv/kenniiekins Schedule by MioriCreative Avatar by @88studio.id

Plants react to the player now! 🍃 #gamedev #indiegame

Experimenting with abilities/spells to unlock, like this ground pound attack. Feelin' pretty juicy. #gamedev

Just a lil' fungi 🍄 The wholesome soundtrack to "Smushi Come Home" by @somehumbleonion.bsky.social‬, with adventurous tracks by @failpositive.bsky.social‬, is making its way onto beautiful vinyl from @VeryOKVinyl.com! Pre-order your copy and bring Smushi to your home: buff.ly/LJh2MJ3

Smushi Come Home turns 2 years today!! 🍄🎉 It's been a wild 2 years since launch. We've sold ~95k copies, released plushies, physicals, etc. I'm beyond grateful and can't thank you all enough <3 And for our OST fans... WE HAVE A VINYL COMING!! Preorders are available now! ⤵️

Designing levels just got a lot faster! I was originally greyboxing and creating environments with splines, but I switched over to terrains instead. Think it just matches my workflow more. #gamedev #indiegame

Planning to really lock in these next 2 weeks. My new project still needs a lot of work with the core elements (mostly combat and level design). Once that's done, I can really focus on content creation. Will do my best to post some cool updates!

Smushi Come Home is 50% off on Steam as part of the Cozy & Family Friendly Games Celebration! Link is below if you're looking for a chill game to play this weekend!

Finally got some enemy variety going! These lil ranged guys are the latest addition. #gamedev #indiegame

Been getting a lot of Smushi Steam Key request emails all of a sudden. It's so difficult to tell which are scams and which are genuine reviewers. Welp. Guess I won't be giving any out.

Sorry if updates are a bit slow right now. I'm still trying to nail down the 3 major components of gameplay: combat, npc interaction, and something to in between. Lots of prototyping and experimenting. But hopefully I'll have some cool updates to share soon! <3

Added a range attack! Behold. The Spear. #gamedev #indiegame

Make sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995
