What's your feeling about la Provence ? 🪻✨ #ChloroLink is a management / exploration game... but also a cute and cozy game! You got time to just plant flowers and fill the area if you will <3 Btw, feel free to join our Discord! discord.gg/6HMFKQKRkP #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #WishlistWednesday

Haven't done this in a while - if you see this, ask me anything 🧙🏼‍♂️✨️

C'est un exercice amusant de, avec parcimonie, mettre de côté 10 ans d'habitude à coder "corpo", en équipe. Être strict, avoir une justification technique à chaque décision, etc. (rigueur qui m'a sauvé plus d'une fois sur ChloroLink)... pour gagner du temps en solo. ...Je préfère tjrs une équipe 😅

Everyone told me "making a game is difficult". That's fine, I love every single part of it! HOWEVER. No-one told me ENOUGH how regularly producing content to share is tough! Glad to have help and support from friends, mad respect to people doing it all themselves!! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Not much updates recently, because...you can now find all our socials, a link to Steam and a link to our newly created Discord server (✨), all at the same place! Link below 🔽 We will get back to regular content from now on <3

I must confess, every time I need to play ChloroLink for tests purposes, I cannot stop playing 🤗 I think it just puts me into deep relaxation mode #gamedev

Testing out clouds 🌤️, new bushes and trees🍃, and small weather effects (will show it soon!). It's all coming together 💛 #ChloroLink #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame (If you saw that post twice, sorry! It's because videos on bsky are meh :> we got ya, here is a gif!)

End of the "optimization week"! Not much new content, but went from 30 to 130 stable FPS on low-end, no GPU laptop. Because you know what's NOT cozy and chill? DROPPED FRAMES! Also, save system ✨ (If you want cozy and chill, you can wishlist #ChloroLink on #Steam <3) #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Aquaga is a tree that automatically brings water to the other plants nearby. And... you can pop the bubbles if you feel like it 💚(It does nothing. But it's satisfying!! isn't that what we should all aim for?) #ChloroLink #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #game #unity

We use the Herbarium to better express core mechanics (and hide special things but shhhh 💚) It's a great occasion to add schemas and artworks ✨ #gamedev #indiedev #cozygame #unity #ChloroLink #indiegame #booknerds

It's difficult to share cool stuff when you're working on tech optimization :D So instead... A fellow Toulouse's gamedev (@axelvborn.bsky.social) is releasing his game tomorrow! If you're into puzzle games, check it out! store.steampowered.com/app/3959950 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #puzzle

Do you want a game that is ✨ Cute 😌 Relaxing and without any pressure 🌸 Full of flowers and mushrooms 💚 Lovingly crafted by a small team Well, you're in luck, we have the perfect game for you! store.steampowered.com/app/3411230/Ch…#gamedeve#indiedeve#indiegamem#cozygameme

We defined our goals for this year and everything up until release over the weekend, soooo READY to continue this adventure! ✨ My favorite part of our playtest last week? Seeing people's face during that part of the tutorial <3 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #game #unity #ChloroLink

As we ready ourselves for our first public playtest tomorrow (thanks @push-start.org !), here is a sneak peek at #ChloroLink 's herbarium! What's a cosy game without a book with flipping pages!? 🍃✨ #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #Unity #flowers #books

OK, I am biased, but I love this so much 😩💚 #gamedev #indiedev

#ChloroLink is a small management AND exploration game. And what's exploration without hidden collectibles!? First appearance of a Luxicorn, that you will have to find and collect! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #collectibles #acorn #light #Unity

We strongly believe a part of making videogames is about art and the creation process, so here is a time-lapse of one of our #ChloroLink asset made by @zdieska.bsky.social! Can you tell which flower it's inspired from? <3 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #drawing #art #flowers #timelapse

Have I said already that every wishlist makes me work faster on the writing? 👀 I you like like nature as well as cute and cozy games, consider wishlisting ChloroLink! 💚🌱✨ #gamedev #indiedev

What's happening today...working on localization, preparing for another playtest round... oh, teasing with a work in progress thingy 👀 #ChloroLink #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #teasing #secrets

#ChloroLink has its own Steam page! Wishlist our cute and cozy management game here: store.steampowered.com/app/3411230/... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #Lux #plants #roots #flowers #wecantwaittoshowyoumore #wearesoexcitedwoooooh

A first playtest for our tutorial gave us many great insights <3 Also huge motivation boost!! Few screenshots from people who tested our early build! Working on secret additions now :D #ChloroLink #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

Cette semaine a lieu le #SteamNextFest d'Octobre, l'évènement de Steam qui met en avant les démos des jeux à venir. Et une fois n'est pas coutume, on a plusieurs jeux toulousains qui y sont présentés et dont vous pouvez retrouver la liste dans le thread ci dessous ↓ (1/6)

I'm working on our tutorial, and planning a playtest soon! Would you be interested in testing out an early build of #ChloroLink? Our steam page is coming this week! <3 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

HOLD THE MINE demo is available NOW! We have made a lot of improvements since the playtest version. ⛏️Dig, collect resources and construct powefull buildings ⚔️Maximize your heroes, spells and relics 🛒Discover the new shop and pet the mole?! 🌜Defend your mine against monsters at night and go nuts!

We finally have a day/night cycle indicator for #ChloroLink! I love it so much <3 What do you think of it!? IT'S PRETTY RIGHT?! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #GameUI

Ah! They grew tired of my hideous shroom dorito flower. Early concept art today <3 Credits to @zdieska.bsky.social and @mantelia.bsky.social #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #ChloroLink #flowers

Too bad you don't have the sound (yet!) to hear those popping bubbles... it's very satisfying! <3 If you pop one, all the full bubbles around are cascading! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #ChloroLink #bubbles #popSoundIsAddictive

Experimenting with odd areas...It's making level design difficult but it's a fun challenge! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #ChloroLink

I'm sure you'll produce amazing stuff as usual! ❤️✨

Had friends testing out #Chlorolink to prepare for a demo (coming soon!). Kinda looks like a cosy management game, nah?! (There will be less on screen don't worry :D) #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

What's happening Friday afternoon on Discord, you wonder...? (Context: I fixed how we display the path linking each plants to Lux!) #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #Chlorolink #RusselLux #Gladialink

UI color tint when night comes is my favorite feature! Now to add some light underglow to match the fireflies... How do you feel about UI reacting to day/night cycle? <3 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #Chlorolink #gameUI

#indiedev #solodev Hi, today there's an update available for Rat tier on a certain site. Things are pretty dire for me lately, see one of the attached images for details on why that is and ways to help. Even if you can't, please consider checking out a demo in a reply, reposts are also nice. TY 🥹

Fondly remember @mantelia.bsky.social asking "you sure about hexagons? It looks great but isn't it difficult?"... Took me 4 hours to draw custom mesh polygons that aren't a simple range from a tile. At least now it's done! (And I can draw any shape ✨) #gamedev #indiedev #loveHateHexagons

That moment your artists are not available so you let a developer (me) draw the placeholders... It's goofy but definitely not pretty :D That will do for now! Hope you can guess what those plants are doing <3 #gamedev #indiedev #devDrawings #weirdPlants #I'mSorryMantelia #drawingIsDifficult

Starting to have a nice mood out of the starting area <3 What do you think of our glowy shrooms? #gamedev #indiedev #Chlorolink

At which point does it become "too many ladybugs"? (Everyone is talking about bugs these days. Hope it's fine that ours in #Chlorolink don't have wall jumps!) #insects #gamedev #indiedev #ladybugs

What's better than pretty insects to *highlight* the day/night cycles? <3 (That firefly is not flying yet, that's for another day!) #insects #gamedev #indiedev #Chlorolink

Obstacles and water tests today! It starts to look like the world we imagined when we designed #Chlorolink <3 #indiedev #gamedev

I almost forgot to share this little sneak peak of what I did last month on @gigi-lili.bsky.social and I's flower game. I worked mostly on the flowers themselves, trying to find a way to set them up into bouquets, and making sure everything is coherent ✨ #gamedev #gameart #cozygames #flowersgame

Testing out wind effect shaders with cute decorative flowers 💚 Does it look chill?! 🍃 #gamedev #indiedev #Chlorolink

Silksong is out, perfect timing to work on new UI icons! (totally unrelated, yep. But I'm proud to be productive even these days ✨) #gamedev #indiedev #Chlorolink

Ma conférence sur les jeux personnels est dispo en replay sur youtube !

Me trying to explain a game mechanic issue to @mantelia.bsky.social and @zdieska.bsky.social 🤪 Turns out Chlorolink has trees... In AND out of gameplay! Writing notes, the best way to expose problems. (No you don't ask chatGPT. That won't help you learn and improve è.é) #gamedev #indiedev

We’ve just updated the public demo of Glimvale ! -🌟 Added new content - Reworked and polished systems - We really need your feedback ! Try the demo & wishlist to support us :D 😊 store.steampowered.com/app/3403590/... #IndieGame #WishlistWednesday #BIGFallShowcase #cozygaming #cozygames

UI cleanup day! I love the new plant selection panel <3 That's the initial plant line-up you will be able to grow in Chlorolink 🌱 #Chlorolink #indiedev #gamedev

Had a blast for 2 days going to #TGDays organized by the local indy gamedev scene @toulousegamedev.bsky.social! Check out all the talks replay (FR) as soon as they become available! Pure energy, motivation and creativity fuel ❤️ #indiedev #gamedev
