sometimes we just wanna climb up things to see if we can do it, maybe to get a nice view, or to learn a new hiding spot. it's frustrating if every nook has "rewards" in discone, most paths are uncharted, and you will climb and parkour them with your friends #gamedev #indiegame #screenshotsaturday

today we're recommending one of our favorite games ever zk maps for stranger, by Marek Kapolka, you will understand why we believe that the best platforming levels are "undesigned" ones. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

in our game you parkour up uncharted mountains with your friends. but it began as a game where you jump idly around peach's castle grounds. i think that had to be fun first for parkour of any sort to be possible! #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

i want harder games with longer death runs made by people who respect my need to put the game down and i'm not kidding.

you can place a checkpoint by taking a deep breath (in real life) in our game. that you can then float back to as you spacewalk in a bubble. (you can also parkour up uncharted mountains with your friends, of course) #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

we finally added our first item: rocks! even a simple item like this opens a wealth of new ways to play and enjoy moving around in our game. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

this is our game where you parkour up mountains with your friends, and it's also a little video about how powerful your personal steam wishlist is. wishlist every game you like! we'd love if you wishlisted ours too (but only if like it). #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

this is what they call "the door problem", in game design #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

new trailer of our online multiplayer climbing game, pondlife: discone (a videogame)! we have some new stuff to show off soon that we're excited for you to see. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

we're taking a fresh look at the fundamentals of jumping in pondlife: discone (a videogame). every jump, even on flat ground, and every interaction with a wall should be dynamic. we want the act of movement itself to be joyful, to be its own end. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

here's a bit about how we've been adding grass to our game, pondlife: discone (a videogame)! given our logo, perhaps we should have focused on this sooner. but we got there. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

a peek into our dev setup! we built this visualization tool to help get our wall riding, procedural walk cycle, custom camera, &c feeling right (inspired by the tooling we saw in @doublefine.com's psychodyssey). #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

somebody on tiktok asked us to make the hair bigger, and also to make the hair smaller, and also we love a certain plumber so... #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

even after years working on this game, sometimes we just open it and run around the mountain together #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

i saw this window the other day and tried finding a smooth path up to it #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev #parkour

we were playing our online 3d climbing platformer, "pondlife: discone (a videogame)", with some friends recently. they struggled a lot on this ramp, but it's possible! #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

here’s how to wall ride in our game, “pondlife: discone (a videogame)”. let us know if you have any questions =) #screenshotsaturday (oops) #indiegame #gamedev

how it started vs. how it's going. (yeah the second half is the game audio). #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

pondlife: discone (a videogame) is a skateboarding game with no skateboard. it's also a golfing game. where you are the ball. #skate #climbing #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

in "pondlife: discone (a videogame)", you really can (try to) climb anything. we mean it. if you fall, there's another way up that's just as exciting. #discone #walk #climbing #cute #folk #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

icecream is very deliberate about placing her feet on the ground (we spent a lot of time walking around our apartment in real life trying to make this happen). #discone #walk #climbing #cute #folk #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

in pondlife: discone (a videogame), you can jump & surf on anything. there's no hard distinction between wall or ground. there's also no combo meter or trick button, you move your character (her name is icecream) and make it all up. #discone #jump #climbing #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

congrats to our amazing friends @goodbyegames.bsky.social @joeyschutz.bsky.social @haoliao.bsky.social !!!!

was feeling this one, but sometimes it's the easy jumps that get you. #discone #jump #platformer #climbing #cute #folk #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

this route is henceforth known as: "tiki taka". thanks @frannny.bsky.social! (also the sound is missing in this video, oops!) bsky.app/profile/fran...

bringing back #routeoftheday, what should we #namethisroute? (this clip took us about 20 minutes to hit...) #discone #rotd #jump #platformer #climbing #cute #folk #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

icecream got some accessories recently for a birthday party. now she can play tag, or "who has the glasses", with her selves. #jump #platformer #screenshotsaturday #videogame #cute

the best 3d platformer (since at least a year ago), getting better every day. wishlist on steam #videogame #jumping #philosophy #platformer #cozy #mario64 #parkour
