here's what the game looks like, and I even made a "wind waker" style little intro ✨ (please don't call nintendo thx ✋😔🤚)

My hotel had a power cut, so I spent the night with no phone signal and no WiFi. Had the best night's sleep of my life. Absolutely furious.

Springtime is here 🐇🌼 #pixelart #spring #cottage

I'm at level 4 + a bonus point: some people are willing to pay for my game even though it's free (Deep Forest). I'm still very far from level 5 though. small.itch.io

reddit problem: our players are stupid reddit solution: make stupid games

So I made a crappy reveal trailer for Mega Drill. I think it was about time! The game still has a long way to go but it's getting somewhere. Will enter playtest phase soon and hopefully a demo for Steam before too many months have passed. #indiedev #gamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_VV...

If you're a musician, sound designer, coder, artist or anything posting your work for hire, PLEASE state which country you are from. This is very important. With how taxes and hiring laws work in many countries, not being from the same country might be a deal breaker for many. #indiedev #gamedev

Very excited for every character in every games looking exactly the same.

If anyone is willing the share the following, I would be so grateful! We just launched Piece by Piece on Steam 🎉🎉 It's a cozy repair shop sim, you play a woodland fox who inherits his grandfather's store. You fix up items with your hammer and paintbrush 🔨🖌️🦊 store.steampowered.com/app/3179050/...

Day 49: 2025/09/18 - 7h Got temporary item swapping to work for the Move feature, but I'll need to fix some visual glitches & restructure the inventory to swap with empty slots properly. Committing the move also needs to be implemented. #DailyDevlog #Moonshell_Island #gamedev #gamemaker

Our first asset pack is available ! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Haaaard at work on taxes stuff and tax credits reclamation. This is hard on my brain and not very fun but, like, crucial for maintaining my activities? I'm actually glad this is getting done. I feel like a real entrepreneur now. #indiedevlife

WIP: end of turn feedback for building effects in Mega Drill. #indiedev #gamedev

Day 47: 2025/09/12 - 8h My notification system can now display multiple notifications at a time for both using and dropping items. I plan to improve this eventually, but it'll do for now. #DailyDevlog #Moonshell_Island #gamedev #gamemaker

Day 42: 2025/09/05 - 8h Spent the day tuning zipper scrolling. Coding tweens scrambles my brain, but it's getting there & only scrolls one row at a time now. Bit clumsy with mouse, which will behave different than keyboard/gamepad later anyway. #DailyDevlog #Moonshell_Island #gamedev #gamemaker

Horripilant is OUT NOW on Steam! Grab it now! store.steampowered.com/app/3525970/... #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamedev #godotengine

Testing normal maps for the Mega Drill. This is tricky because it's animated (8 frames) and it rotates. So this builds up to a LOT of frames of normals. This is with 12 sprite sheets of 8 frames. So each sheet covers 30 degrees. Might need more? #gamedev #indiedev

Horripilant releases in 3 days! #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #godotengine

GUN NOSE looks incredible! We can't wait to see more from Addy. Be sure to follow them on YouTube to follow development and see more behind the scenes. Made in GameMaker 💪 www.youtube.com/watch?v=0R9F...

🌳Greenpatch Garden is coming together nicely!🌳 We want the game to be a short escape in nature for the players and, in this f*ed up world, to promote the importance of small daily actions. Everyone can make a difference in the world and that's what we want our game to say. ❤️ #gamedev #indiedev

Here's some very touching comments I've received for my GBStudio game Deep Forest. This is why I make games. ♥ #gamedev #indiedev

suuuuuuppp

Frank Zappa described the concept of "Hot Rats" as such (paraphrasing): "All songs are instrumental except one sang by Captain Beefheart who is everything but a singer". After reading that I stopped worrying about my ideas being not clever enough. Simple idea, brilliant execution.

I've built a struct based UI making system in Game Maker and it allows me to easily do funky things like that. 😁 #gamemaker #gamedev #indiedev

Cuphead for the Nintendo Game Boy. A mockup made before I tried using GBStudio, so I had to wing it in terms of what could be displayed on the system without big framerate dips

Making good progress on our game about nature observation. Still needs a lot of polish but the core mechanics are almost all there! #indiedev #gamedev

A bit of a process behind the sound design! 🔊 Big thanks to @rathaelos.bsky.social for providing the sick animation! #sounddesign #gamedev

Loved Mad Max : Fury Road so we watched Furiosa and boy! This was NOT good! That's disappointing.

Day 11: 2025/07/06 - 10h Finally got a rough easing transition working for the dialogue system. Broke lots of things in the process so it took a long time. There's a lot of optimizing and cleanup to do, but it WORKS. I'll polish more later. #gamedev #gamemaker #pixelart #indiegame #gamedev
