We have a story for my game: The player worked in Zerkvograd when all 4 reactors in Karsk-17 [City] exploded. The tunnel collapsed, trapping his family inside the city. Radiation slowly spreads west through the wind, pushing him into unknown lands. #horror #godot #indiegame #postapocalyptic

Small update! After adding sound (the game was completely silent before [previews were edited] ), the build size is now about 120MB on Windows and ~70MB on Linux. Still reasonable, but I probably shouldn’t keep calling the game “SO small.” 😅

We’re now on multiple platforms! Also posting on X: x.com/STDK_X Follow our gamedev journey on Bluesky, Mastodon, and X. #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiegame

Fun fact! My full game (encrypted & compressed) is only 11MB on Windows and around 10 MB on Linux. I love Godot. The compression is crazy. #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine #indiegame #gamedevelopment

NPCs react dynamically to your prices. Overcharge them, and they’ll remember… Game fact: If you price an item too high, traders will refuse the deal and become annoyed, making it harder to raise prices in future trades. #horror #indiedev #godot #2d #gameart #indiegame

Added inventory & trading today! Took a while. Improved visuals to make it more appealing. Now working on enhanced trading & radiation detection. Also finished my auto-element detection system. A huge time saver! #horror #indiedev #godot #2d #gameart #indiegame

Map system concept preview! Please note: The sounds are edited and will be different in the final game. !VIDEO COMPRESSION SADLY HURT THE QUALITY! #horror #indiedev #godot #2d #gameart

New patch! Added a custom borderless loading screen (no more default Godot sequence) and improved the home menu. Next step: focusing on gameplay instead of visuals 👀 Here are some screenshots! #horror #indiedev #godot #2d #gameart

New Banner for Relativity Is Irrelevant! Since the full title is a bit complex, you can just call it RI2! Additionally: [Enhanced lighting with dynamic flashlights / Composed music with help from Claude] #horror #indiedev #godot #2d #gameart

I finally got the lighting layered perfectly and implemented a fully functional UI including volume controls, gamma settings, and more. Feeling super proud of this progress! #ScreenshotSunday #Horror #Godot #indiegame #PostApocalyptic #UX

Long time no see! I’m developing a small 2D game with a dark atmosphere. There are no monsters because you are the monster. Survive, loot, and level up in a post-apocalyptic wasteland as you seek your place in this world. #horror #godot #indiegamedev #postapocalyptic

I’ve realized that I can never make a living from this. Game development is just not worth it anymore in the current economy. After 3 years of game development, I’ve earned this amount of money & followers. From now on, I’ll be focusing on other projects #gamedev #indiedev #godot

🍄 My asset pack just released! 25% off for the next few days Includes 23 high-quality pixel mushrooms Best viewed on the page 👇 stdk.itch.io/stylized-sub... #gameassets #indiedev #stylized #pixelart

More Assets! Would 3$ be a fair price? #gameassets #itchio #indiedev #art #pixelart

Did NOT expect my RimWorld crash video to become the most popular on my channel😅 Thanks so much to everyone who commented! I really appreciate it! I’m still working on my asset pack👀 What would you consider a fair price for it? (A few more assets will be added) #art #gameassets #indiedev

The evil is finally fucking defeated The Remap Controls menu took me 4 WEEKS. Probably the most frustrating thing i've coded besides save data. But it's important for accessibility so I wasn't going to skip it. #godot #gamedev #ui

I made this banner with figma! I personally love it and will definitely use it on my itchio page! #art #gamedev #indiedev #gameassets

I’m working on a small paid Itchio asset pack: Low-Poly Pixel Substances & Lab Items. I’ve genuinely enjoyed drawing this set, so there’s a good chance more assets will come. It’ll include much more assets when done and cost about 3-4€ I’ll share the link once it’s live. #gameassets #art #wip

I broke RimWorld #linux #wayland #glitch

Scary atmosphere instead of jumpscares in horror games ;) Abyss Chamber - Wishlist on Steam ➡️ store.steampowered.com/app/4377360/... #horrorgames #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamedev #horror

I made this little teaser trailer absolutely WIP with unfinished gameplay, AND recorded on my weak laptop 😅 Still, what do you guys think? Music by @kvjartic on YouTube! #godot #gamedev #indiegame #horror #photorealistic

Tlog 1 If I had to rebuild from scratch, the plan: 1. Never touch Godot Lightmaps GI again. 2. Sleep instead of rage-debugging for 4 hours. 3. Not delete all my lightmaps and call it “the process.” (Not that this just happened…) #gamedev #indiedev #devlog #textlog #gamedevlife

New Screenshots! Welcome in the Lab #godot #gamedev #photorealistic #indiegame #horror

Started a challenge to make one of the most realistic Godot games in a month! Needed a break from cute low-poly. Now posting ~daily for Sporebound. High rendering/baking costs (my poor Labtop😅) mean it’ll be €2–5 on Itchio. #godot #gamedev #photorealistic #indiegame #horror

The Elevator with a new lighting system looks kinda good! #indiegame #horrorgame #godot #indiehorror

Just applied to @marketingforgames.com and I'm hoping for good news! Just realized they usually accept people with 20K+ followers, but let’s see 😅 #indiedev #gamedev

Godot Motion blur video is out now (showcase) youtu.be/Iu74Yk-M3bE?... #godot #gamedev #indiegame

Devlog Update! I didn’t like how the pine trees looked, so I added spotlights. Now everything looks way better! #godot #gamedev #indiegame #simulator #thief #deliver #dealer #screenshots #gallery

New Screenshots! #godot #gamedev #indiegame #simulator #thief #deliver #dealer #screenshots #gallery

Still planning and wanted some feedback! Should I add buyable homes (steal → earn → upgrade)? One large map or split into multiple scenes for better performance? Or just write your idea in the comments! [Screenshot -> Concept] #godot #gamedev #indiegame #simulator #thief #delivery #dealer

Devlog Update: WATER! I’ve finally added realistic water with reflections, and it fits the game’s theme perfectly. Next up: it’s almost time to start coding the actual gameplay! Still very much #WIP, but a lot more is coming soon! #godot #gamedev #indiegame #simulator #thief #deliver #dealer

Devlog Update: New map section! Using Godot’s Terrain3D with my custom distance-based LOD for better performance. Still #WIP, but more is coming soon! #godot #gamedev #indiegame #simulator #thief #deliver #dealer

New artworks for my game! #Godot #GameDev #IndieGame

I’m STDK, an indie game developer. Working on Subexponential, a stealth story game about delivering goods across controlled borders. Godot dev. 🌐 stdkstore.github.io 🕹️ stdk.itch.io 💻 github.com/stdkgit 📄 sketchfab.com/stdk Follow for updates on Subexponential or other content!

Just realized I’m way better at modeling my own maps and designing from scratch than relying on ready-made meshes! 💪 #Godot #GameDev #IndieGame #Simulator

Devlog Update!!! Big style shift Back to the aesthetic of my last game, #ongrid! Gameplay now focuses on delivering and storing goods. I’ve decided to create the maps entirely myself. Still #WIP, but I’m loving the direction! #godot #gamedev #indiegame #simulator #thief #deliver #dealer

#Godot 4.6 is out, and all about your flow! This release puts you and your workflow first with a new theme, flexible docks, and dozens of UX improvements. And Jolt Physics by default, revamped IK, better reflections, and more. Less wrestling with UI. More making games. godotengine.org/releases/4.6

Devlog Update: New Map & More I’ve added a brand-new map with improved lighting, and I’ve been learning how to create models! Player plots are now added: store items and plan your deliveries in a place. More is gonna be added soon! #godot #gamedev #indiegame #itchio #games #simulator #WIP

Game update & apology! Site launch delayed, but I overhauled the core gameplay! Now you smuggle goods through towns, day/night, with fake papers and high stakes. Way more intense and no schedule 1 knockoff! BTS: @stdkunderthehood.bsky.social #godot #gamedev #indiegame #itchio #stdk #horror

Added environment-based walking sounds with 3 unique states and my website is almost ready! Check out the BTS for more! The site drops here today (reposted on this account too): @stdkunderthehood.bsky.social #godot #gamedev #indiegame #itchio #stdk #horror #psychologicalhorror

Next devlog update! Added an ATM into the game. Lighting is coming together nicely, and a brand new building has been added to the map. Visit the BTS for more: @stdkunderthehood.bsky.social #godot #gamedev #indiegame #itchio #stdk #horror #psychologicalhorror

Guys, please follow @sttdk.bsky.social or @stdkunderthehood.bsky.social I’ll probably be abandoning this account.

Not sure what genre I’m aiming for? Horror? sim? or something else but it’s definitely story-driven. Just added a new map section and I’m learning animations! Follow the BTS: @stdkunderthehood.bsky.social #godot #gamedev #indiegame #itchio #stdk #horror #psychologicalhorror

This is it! #godot #gamedev #indiegame #itchio #stdk

One year wow... Whatever I reworked a new game (old one) and that's my progress , I had to take a break from such cute colorful graphics

What genuinely happened on that plate 😭 #hardware #soldering

Would you be interested in a Q&A on our main account? Like ask me anything about the game and I’ll reply? #ongrid #indiedev #gamedev
