Idle Game Update: New plane that will come and replant mid-year! Obviously this is a late game thing, but it's nice to fill your year up with more things to post-harvest. I'm still working out a capsule image. Art is hard. #IdleGame #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev

I met these folks at PAX, class act and they have incredible VA talent. Fun demo as well, give it a try!

Gonna make a thread with all my Steam NextFest impressions. Hit me up if you want me to play your game! 🧵 #nextfest #steamnextfest #indiegames #gamereview

POV you're trying to eat a breakfast sandwich but you live with a dog.

Idle Game Update: I've reworked a lot of the UI to be in the sidebar and made the tooltips in the bottom left 'POP' more. I was going for less interrupting popups, but does this make it less usable? #IdleGame #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev

Idle Game Update: I added hovering over crops to see what benefits they are currently getting from adjacent crops. I fear... it's not clear enough and this may need more rework. #IdleGame #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev

"There are Three Kinds of Aces." Hell yeah, happy Pride Sony! #StateofPlay #PS5

My favorite part of pride is seeing all the incredible art. I can't get enough! I'm so appreciative of the incredible queer artists in my feed 😍

My partner asked what I'd do if I won the lotto and without hesitation, I yelled: "Make Mega Man Legends 3"

Trying to buy pixel art on the internet in this year of our friggin lord 2026: AI... AI everywhere. (derogatory)

I had vocal feminization surgery and I'm still in recovery. I found this piano on the beach that kinda looks like my vocal cords.

I'm about to start Subnautica 2 and to be honest, I'm pretty excited for no combat. I know I'm totally in the minority but I love crafty-buildy-survival games where offense isn't the default.

Idle Game Update: Most of the effort has gone into tools and data, but I redid a lot of the UI! It's still a WIP but I think I have the style. Here's a before and after. What do you prefer? #IdleGame #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev

Idle Game Update: Auto-Tractors and better crop animations! This looks so much better (see last post) and it's really fun seeing basically exponentially higher crop yields. However, the drivers are kind of dumb. Deposit sound is very much a WIP. #IdleGame #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev

Question for Bluesky! I like to use icons in my post. 🌹 Like this. Someone mentioned to me that this gives AI involvement. Yuck! Is that your impression (or are they off base)?

Idle Game Update: 🚜 - Tractors are in! The graphics are still temp but it's cool seeing them harvest exponentially. જ⁀➴ - When you collect, it tosses to storage, > fun. 📱 - I've started updating the UI to make it more readable. Finally in late game! #IdleGame #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev

POV you're enjoying a petite cheese danish on the couch and you live with a dog.

All the critters in my life are the best ♥️

Small Idle Game Update: 🪣 I was tired of constantly filling in every plot so I made a fill-in tool. It's kind of fun to watch. #IdleGame #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev

With an estrogen shot and a cup of warm tea, I'm settling down to watch The Pitt finale.

POV you wanna couch potato but you live with a dog.

Idle Game Update: 🐂 Livestock is in the game and they produce milk! 🧑‍🌾 Labor AI got an overhaul. It's still very purposefully simple. ⚙️ New Age is almost done with it's own tech tree! It's legit super fun to set things in motion and watch the year go. #IdleGame #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev

Soft launching being a huge fleet fan! I've got ice seats at the TD Garden game 🤘 #hockey #pwhl #bostonfleet #gofleet

Idle Game Update: 👆 Upgrades are in and you can kinda get crazy with them 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Farmer's behavior, much more efficient 👗 Flax / Cloth Making are in the game! I also made so that each plant has different adjacency behavior so it's more fun to design fields #IdleGame #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev

The gas they give you in the dental office should smell like trees that you hang on rear view mirrors.

Idle Game Update: 🕸️Upgrades are now in tree form and are SO much easier to develop for. 🌳Tech Tree remains and progress on the Third (of Five) ages continues. I'm now getting into fabric making and... cows? #IdleGame #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev

Dogs when you try to work from home:

Idle Game Update: 📦I refined how production works and now you can transfer from storage to winery and back. I think the UX is so much clearer! 👂Also, thanks to suggestions, ambient sounds got a pass! #IdleGame #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev

Happy Trans Day of Visibility. 👋 It's often a struggle but there's nothing I regret about being myself. #transdayofvisibility #tdov

Idle Game Update: 🌾🍞 Breadmaking in the game 🍇🍷 Winemaking In the game I've spent too long on figuring out how to move resources from A to B, but this method feels pretty good. Also, music-wise, feeling kind of cozy chill-hop? #IdleGame #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev

For idle game: Title Proposal: 'Agebound'! Logo Proposal: See below! Happy to hear your thoughts! :) #gamebug #IdleGame #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev

Working on the Idle Game and then this happened. #gamebug #IdleGame #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev

Me: sorry, can't talk, I had vocal surgery. Cis people: *whispering* Oh, I'm so sorry Trans people: CONGRATULATIONS! ☺️

Idle Game Update: 🌸☀️🍂❄️ All the seasons are in! They all transition seamlessly as you watch a year fly by in 40 seconds. 🐇 Rabbits no longer eat your crops. They just hang out if you have carrots. You can pet them. I'm just going for cute vibes #IdleGame #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev

Not at GDC this year, but: #WhatAGameDevLooksLike I'm Mars! I've been in the industry for 14 years, working with WB, Riot, Blizzard, and a few others. Now I'm #sologamedev and working with friends on a start up. HMU if you wanna connect! :)

Have you ever been on a date and suddenly you choke on your own spit and you're fighting for your life not to cough and you have to gesture silently "no, I'm totally fine!" while tears are welling up in your eyes? That's what vocal cord surgery recovery is like. 2 more weeks.

so... Vocal Feminization Surgery. I just had it! I am tired and sore and can't talk or cough, but dang I am happy and hopeful!

Idle Game Updates: 🌟 New Upgrades are in! You can increase number of residents and multiply the number of crops grown. 🗺️ Quest System is fleshes out and lots of guidance for the player. I also updated things to feel a bit less grid-like. #IdleGame #gamedev #unity3d #sologamedev #indiegamedev

Tonight I hung out with someone who has worked with ultra famous a-listers and she asked me from who I wanted to know about. All I could think of was Dropout/Smosh cast. Devastated she's never worked with Vic Michaelis, Brennan Lee Mulligan, Damien Haas, Courtney Miller. 😕

Idle Game Update: You gotta harvest and collect crops before automating with citizens. Also auto-cam movement and juice! I'm also leaning away from tension by punishment (pests, food waste) and tension more by high costs and high numbers. #IdleGame #gamedev #unity3d #sologamedev #indiegamedev

I love pet sitting. ❤️🐱🐶

I am in amazing company. <3

My options: Login or Punch

Rabbit Update: Added a bunny that will come eat your veggies, as well as an ability in the tech tree that allows you to ward against it. Also, potatoes and cabbages! Should the dog scare the bunny away? #IdleGame #gamedev #unity3d #sologamedev #indiegamedev

Update to the idle game: Redid the UI, added resident menu, residential upkeep, quests, tooltips, sound effects, juice, and most importantly... A dog. Yes, you will be able to pet the dog. #IdleGame #gamedev #unity3d #sologamedev #indiegamedev

Update to the idle game: Added music, abilities with cooldowns, a market, tech trees, upgrades, and a fast forward feature. Phew! #IdleGame #gamedev #unity3d #sologamedev #indiegamedev

Update to the idle game: Updated it to be a bit cozier with flowers and less harsh clouds. Added a production chain. I really need to rework the 'hover to grow' mechanic. #IdleGame #gamedev #unity3d #sologamedev #indiegamedev

Job Phone Screen: "We restructured the role since we last talked and we're looking for someone with a few years of Claude dot AI experience." First off: ...a few Years? lol Secondly, it's such a rug pull to only mention AI in the phone screen. #gamedev #gamedevcareer

Working on a pretty idle / incremental cozy indie game. Thoughts on the visual style? #IdleGame #gamedev #unity3d #sologamedev #indiegamedev

I feel like this goes well beyond "hard sell". Why is this so common? Does this actually work for anyone? #gamedev #art
