I’m making so much progress on the game these last few jobless weeks it’s incredible. I haven’t been this happy in a while. Dog tax

This is the face of a tired good boy that walked around Fuji for 6 hours and got tons of pets from strangers.

i feel like players know my game better than i do at this point. people ask me "so what can you do in your game?" i'm always like "iunno stuff"

It’s a beauty place really, I went last week. But this is what it looks like when you actually go :)

Alpine Lake state of the union. Day job quit 😅 June next fest entered Updated demo incoming with all complaints addressed* Summer crunch incoming for later 2026 release (responsible crunch because I’ll be 40 by then and my body hurts (happy 40th to me)) *maybe all complaints iunno

my dog has a message for you

I love the sentences that pop out when I accidentally have my Google Translate settings eng -> jp instead of jp-> eng

I worked really hard to help make building roofs effortless, yet still look good. Here's the automatic system i came up with for hipped and gabled roofs. #indiegame #indiedev

🙈 3 2 1 Ready or not, here I come!

HONEST QUESTION. I made a two roofing systems (left is old, right is very new) They both have their pros and cons, but i'm not sure i want to support both. What do you all think? Which type of roofing system would you want in to use? #indiedev #indiegame

Mountains, mountains Gandalf. I want to see mountains again!

bath boi getting bathed

please don't try and stick your hand up the vending machine

it's a rainy christmas eve in tokyo. spending the day coding while dog naps and wife plays the new pokemon. couldn't ask for a better day. happy holidays everyone.

This is approximately how i feel right now.

Here's my indie game in #15seconds. store.steampowered.com/app/2341620/...

Who doesn't love a good build time lapse loop? This is a debug tool to procedurally build the simplest inn possible. I know you will do better.

stream 1 vs stream 400. show your evolutions!

So I got my dogs butt trimmed and they made it look like a human butt.

Hello #PitchYaGame This is Alpine Lake, a mountain life sim / innkeeper sim. Your town is in danger, and through the power of innkeeping you can save it. Who knew that brewing coffee, scrambling eggs, and photographing a cute duck could have such an impact on people's lives.

where the heck does this thing go

Imagine building and running a cute inn on a lake with this view for all your friends to come visit?? Oh cool, that's the exact video game I'm making and it's called Alpine Lake Tell your friends!

So much refactoring and dev tools being improved on but nothing new to share at the moment. Please accept this snarky beast for now.

POV what it’s like to play ghosts of yotei with a puppy that literally can’t stop playing even when passed out.

me: okay no more video games for a while after i finish hollow knight also me: okay really no more video games after i finish silksong. me after finishing both: f

These are the kinds of notes my wife leaves me. I’m okay with this.

protip: don't wait until the day before the tokyo game show to buy your tickets! you will end up being very ticketless and very sad like i am right now 😭. i guess i'll just have to have twice the fun at tonight's tokyo indies event.

Listen, i know i'm a total nobody, so 10k outstanding wishlists for my silly life sim on running an inn in the mountains is wild. this is a really big deal to me. thank you so much for all the support (and patience!)

Very happy for Alpine Lake to be included in the Cozy Job Simulators Event! Alpine Lake is a life sim about innkeeping! Build your inn from scratch, design the rooms in any layout you want, and decorate them! What most don't know is you can open a restaurant or cafe, right inside your inn!

two of these are video game entertainment systems that you play with and have a good time. If you play with the 3rd thing it literally wont stop biting you.

look mom, i'm on "someone's" TV

people ask me if i play other cozy games for research and i always say no what i do is make my wife play and whatever she curses at the most i avoid / improve upon currently it's items that have different star ratings that can't stack, and very long cutscenes with psycho level overly friendly npcs

nothing a new coat of paint can't fix

Alarm sound idea: the rustlings of your partner in the other room making breakfast and coffee, paired with a perfectly timed uber eats order

Every year I update the UI a bit. I'm considering a new font for dialogue. The original is font A, which i still do like for its playfulness. fonts B and C are classically more readable choices though. Anyone have any strong preferences?

Any exterminators know how to deal with this kind of infestation?

Super excited to be participating in the East Asia Indie Games Celebration on Steam this week!

i can't believe i'm saying this at my age but... my dog ate my f***ing homework

Sorry for celebrating but it's been two years since starting twitch streaming and just broke the top 50k! Maybe partner next year?? 🙃

dog groomers in japan are next level. they just sent me this and how did they even get that photo.

No cheating, post your lock screen.

Had a fun conversation with BiteMe Games about cozy games, starting out as a nobody, and streaming over at BitSummit last weekend. Feel free to check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzVg...
