I wrote a postmortem about the release of the demo for Elfie: A Sand Plan! It's been almost two months! 🤯 itch.io/blog/1064053... #IndieGame #GameDev #IndieDev #Godot #Devlog

My timezone has officially entered spooky season. And to celebrate, the Elfie Halloween coloring pages I made 2 years ago are going to be free all of October! It's also a nice look into how Elfie's design has evolve since then! ✨🎃🐘✨ pressedelephant.itch.io/elfie-hallow...

I can't believe this was one year ago already! 🥹 It was such a great experience and a great way to end my time living in Japan. I hope everyone is having a great Tokyo Game Show this year! Hopefully I'll have more time to attend some of these events in 2026. 👀🐘

The new grid really helps placing the first few sand blocks! #ScreenshotSaturday #GameDev #GodotEngine #IndieGames

Indie devs, show off your art style 🐘

Due to a bug, no one got to see the final level I had made for the playtest. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev #elfie

Happy #PortfolioDay! I'm Solomar, an #indiedev working on Elfie! It's a mix of minigame collection, pet simulator and visual novel where you become friends with a small elephant. 🐘 I do a bit of everything (except for music) but my professional background is mostly gameplay programming! #gamedev

Elfie hopes you had a nice Saturday! #ScreenshotSaturday #GodotEngine #IndieGames

I've been reworking Pressed Elephant's logo and I was trying out a bunch of different fonts. These three were most popular when asking around! It's still hard to choose... but feel free to tell me which one is your favorite! 👀 #IndieDev

With a snowstorm coming, being at the beach making sand castles sounds even nicer. #ScreenshotSaturday #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiegames

Worked on some shaders for the beach water today! Probably going to tweak it a bit more but I've pretty satisfied with the waves! #indiegame #gamedev #godot #elfie

"I like the peanut one the most." -Elfie

Went on much needed day trip to Nikko for a break. Which partially turned into an #Elfie photoshoot since I had very few Fall related pictures of her until now.

I did not expect waking up to this many new followers! 😳 I'm Solomar and I'm working on an #indiegame where you become friends with a small elephant named Elfie! 🐘 It started as a solo project but I'm lucky to now be working with an amazing composer. 🤗 Here's a clip of the intro to the game!

The evening sky tonight! 🐘🌇⛰️

"I went around #TGS2024 a bit on Sunday. It was very much more packed than the indie section. There were many great games you could try, but the most popular booths we're too crowded for Elfie. Also, I want to be a Viking and jump on trampolines one day too." -Elfie

Tokyo Game Show 2024 is done!! Even though I'm super tired, it felt like it passed in a flash. Thank you to my friends for the help and support at my booth and thank you to everyone who played the Elfie demo!! Elfie also says thank you! #TGS2024 #Elfie #indiegame

#TGS2024 has been crazy positive so far but also super busy!! And it was just the business days. 🤯 @shiromiromiii.bsky.social brought me a fanart sticker of Elfie!! She doesn't seem to be super active here yet but go check out her art on Twitter @shiromiromiii !! It's so cute and soothing.

Soon! 🐘

Elephant with a Pearl Earring and a Bubble Wand (Testing 400% size to see if it'll show up more nicely than the 100% size one.) #pixelart

Big Bucks Elfie and her Tokyo Game Show Public Day Tickets

The controller implementation is going so so.

Elfie and I will be at Tokyo Game Show!! #TGS2024 🎊🐘 Please feel free to come say hi and try out the latest demo!! I look forward to trying all the other indie games I've seen on the TGS2024 Steam page that people should definitely check out: store.steampowered.com/sale/tgs2024 👀

Testing out the video feature! 📽️🐘 Did you know Elfie will sometimes react to how you play the minigames? #indiegame #gamedev #godotengine

I think my most popular #cohost post was "Hydrangea Weekend!" (I liked being able to give titles to my posts 😥) With the photos I wrote: "We saw many hydrangeas and they had many colors. Elfie is about the size of a hydrangea flower ball! 💐🐘" -Elfie

"No more cohost?" -Elfie #heycohost

I felt like drawing an illustration for the minigame I've been working on the most recently! I was doing it just for fun, but I think I'll add the line art to the Halloween coloring pages. 🐏🎃🐘 #elfie #illustration #gamedev

Greetings Bsky! I'm an indie dev working on Elfie! A game that answers the question: What would it be like to have a tiny round elephant as a friend? 🐘 Contains elements of: - Pet Simulators - Minigames compilations - VNs store.steampowered.com/app/2955180/... #games #gamedev #indiegame #godot
