New article in my favorite gaming magazine. 😍 #DOSGaming #retrogames

Added a hit indicator (that thing around the cross-hair) and a cockpit alarm for when you're about to go boom! 🤯 Max Savage - Wing Commander meets Zelda: store.steampowered.com/app/4305030/... #screenshotsaturday #indiegames #gamedev

"How can I support the game the most?" is a very kind question and no matter where you buy it is great! word of mouth for this game has had a big impact, so tell your pals and leave a review while you're at it ✌️

You can now collect trophies for the shelf in your space station hab by solving small puzzles or challenges. (And you'll also get Steam achievements later). 🏅 Max Savage - Wing Commander meets Zelda: store.steampowered.com/app/4305030/... #indiegames #retrogames #indiedev

There is an updated version of my infamous puzzle game 'Boppin' available, for CHEAP AS FREE on my personal website at Jenniverse.com right now. It runs on Windows 10 or higher, and is complete with all levels and content. Play the original source of the slang term 'Yeet', today!

You can buy new ships now! 💸 Max Savage - Wing Commander meets Zelda: store.steampowered.com/app/4305030/... #indiegames #wingcommander #spaceships

I'm just amazed how stupidly easy it is to run local LLMs with LM Studio. 😱 Always thought this was more something for the hardcore audience, but it's as easy installing the program and click "Download suggested Model" button and it just works. #AI #LocalAI #OpenSourceAI

Could you do me a favour & share this video pls? Trying to see something... I know lots of people are experiencing lower YT views, but I want to see if boosting external links/shares makes a difference. Plus, if you like old vs new T2 games. Pls have a watch :) youtu.be/VdrwjWOJyFM?...

This little unassuming red line was a bit tricky. I'm not using any post-processing for the low resolution so I had to puzzle the line together from individual pixel-sized red squares.😅 Max Savage - Wing Commander meets Zelda: store.steampowered.com/app/4305030/... #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

Started work on the second of three planets: Dias. Still a lot of details missing, but I'm making good progress. ☺️ Max Savage - Wing Commander meets Zelda: store.steampowered.com/app/4305030/... #indiegames #indiedev #retrogames

Gaming stocks are dropping today after Google's rollout of Project Genie, an AI tool that lets users create and explore virtual worlds for 60 seconds. This is the result of a market that does not understand how video games are made. Allow me to suggest that the Street read Blood, Sweat, and Pixels

Plant-Life can also be dangerous! 🥦 Max Savage - Wing Commander meets Zelda store.steampowered.com/app/4305030/... #wishlistwednesday #indiegames #retrogames

Optimization target 60fps? PAH! Optimization target: no fan noises is where it's at! #indiedev #gamedev

FUCK IT, MISSING DOS WEDNESDAY Trying to locate an Australian DOS game from ≈ 1988, 𝐋𝐞𝐱, 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐅𝐮𝐧 𝟏. The game was part of a series of four Edutainment games by Reckon Software/John Grimley. Here's the box cover art, a text ad, and screenshots of 2 other games in the series! Help a gal out!?

Small, free act you can do to bring some good in this world: add positive reviews to ALL you Steam games, especially the small indies. You don't need to write anything smart, just "game good" is enough. Every positive steam review tips the algorithm and helps your fav artists get more sales

Rule Tiles are great for creating huge tilemaps quickly, but they are bad for scene transitioning when they re-calculate the whole map. Baking my tilemaps now reduced loading times when landing on planets from 4 seconds to about a tenth of a second. 😄 #indiedev #gamedev #unity3d

Some light puzzles to mix things up a bit. 🧠 Wing Commander meets Zelda: store.steampowered.com/app/4305030/... #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #indiegames

20 years ago I created this image in 3D Studio Max. 😄

Cozy cabin activities in Dunwich Horror: Professor Armitage is studying the Necronomicon and Rice is doing chemical analysis.

Before and after screenshots of the planet-side. Pretty big difference I would say. 😄 And you can also find a new trailer on the Steam page for "Max Savage" showing the animations. ☺️ #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

I heard you: you didn't like the art-style of the planets, so I decided to go back to the drawing board. Here's what I've come up with so far. 😊 #indiegames #retrogames #indiedev

📢🥁𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗘 𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗔𝗡𝗡𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗖𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧🥁📢 THE DARK RITES OF ARKHAM will arrive on Steam and Itch on 𝐅𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟑𝐫𝐝. My most ambitious game to date will see the light of day in 2 weeks! Wishlist on Steam⬇️ store.steampowered.com/app/3566870/The_Dark_Rites_of_Arkham

Today I learned there was a Korean "Wing Commander" knock-off for MS-DOS called "Take Back". 😄 (and I recorded its glorious intro cinematic) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fgiw... #DOSGaming #WingCommander #retrogaming

www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i... Interesting and veeery entertaining. 😄

I've played both. They both offer frankly unprecedented replay value in an adventure game landscape that seems content to tell a singular linear story and call it a day. The complexity of these games is unreal. Also, Francisco is a nice guy who can bench press me (and has).

In case you're still searching for Christmas games for next year... 😅 @lgr-yt.bsky.social

This unassuming little ramp was a heck lot more of an effort than I expected. The cliff is created with Unity's rule tiles and telling those to make an exception in the collider and let the player through was a real pain. 😅 #indiedev #gamedev #solodev

Max Savage - Wing Commander meets Zelda. Coming later this year. #screenshotsaturday #indiegames #retrogames

Finished the cockpits for the four available player ships. ☺️ #gamedev #indiedev #spacesim

It's probably not realistic for an early 90s space shooter to have over 20k asteroids, but I don't care. 😆 #indiedev #indiesgames #wingcommander

The shop is well stocked now. Not that easy to make a usable UI with so few pixels. 😅 #indiegames #indiedev #solodev

And here's also the launch trailer of my new Wing Commander meets retro Zelda mix. ☺️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMLt... #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

I'm so excited to announce my upcoming game: Max Savage. Wing Commander meets Zelda in a 90s-inspired sci-fi romp with a sprinkle of romance. store.steampowered.com/app/4305030/... #IndieGame #RetroGaming #SpaceCombat

Shoutout to a fellow #pointandclick #adventuregame enjoyer! ☺️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOMy...

Two new weapon-types: Plasma Cannon and EMP. 😊 Not using transparency made these effects a bit tricky, but I think they work well enough now. 😅 (and will be even better when sound comes into play) #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev

This is a really pretty intro. 😍 www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFrX... #retrogaming #DOSGaming #pixelart

The Jester and the Madman has now sold 280 units... which I'm pretty proud of. If you compare that to Cantaloupe Chronicle which release 4 months earlier and only sits at 179 units total. Yes it's more expensive, but it also took me almost a year to complete compared to the 3 months of TJATMM. 😅

Everybody loves a good escort-mission! 😃 #WingCommander #indiegames #gamedev

I'm really happy that so many players (and streamers) are rediscovering "Curse of the Old Gods" after they finished playing through "The Jester and the Madman" (the sequel). That's such a compliment. 🥰 #pointandclick #indiegames #indiedev

I reviewed a whole bunch of #pointandclick #adventuregames I've played over the last couple of months. 😀 Spoiler: I liked them all! 😄 www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1lY...

BEAR1.ANS, 1991-12-31 from CD-ROM Magic 1995 #1 (CD-ROM)

I know many people hate AI, but it's astonishing how far it got regarding consistency. This kind of workflow was unthinkable just a few months ago. 😮

Proof that the human eye can't see more than 16 colors! 😄 www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpKu... #DOSGaming #retrogames #ega

In-Flight Dialog system and ship HUD completed. It's coming together nicely. 😊 #indiegames #wingcommander #IndieDevs

2D explosion debris is just such a 90s vibe... 😍 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev
