Looking at how far I’ve come is my favorite part of being a solo game dev. And the journey is far from over! 🌱 #indiegames #indiegamedev

Hey Bluesky👋, I am 3D animator in the film world, but my heart kept pulling me toward a small, very personal game idea. So I started making a game where you draw your own fish -> you feed them, watch them grow & make friends, & maybe one day, one of them turns golden 🐟✨ #TeaseYaGame #Illustration

Hey #TeaseYaGame (and also #TrailerTuesday !) What surrounds us? Come discover it to re-establish the balance of an abstract and colorful ecosystem where every individual maters. Watch the full trailer and support the game on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/4178950/...

🌱 How it started vs. how it’s going! 🌿 Early prototype - First art direction attempt - and new colorful art direction! #indiegames #howitstarted #howitsgoing

Hidden paths! #indiegamedev #wip #leveldesign

New lore video! Meet these little guys! They are nice and peaceful! But… they can only move in straight line! How can they meet?! www.instagram.com/salty_gamedev/ #IndieGame #gamelore #indiegamedev

I wrote an article on LinkedIn about environment / ecosystems and game design. And it’s both in FRENCH AND ENGLISH! 🌱✨

Let’s talk about my favorite board game of all time: Wingspan! This is an engine-building game by Elisabeth Hardgrave and it’s all about birds! I LOVE this game for 3 main reasons and they are all a huge source of inspiration for What Surrounds Us. 👇 #boardgames

⭕Here is my November recap! #gamedev #indiegamedev #wip #indiedev #unrealengine

Did you know there were indoor sections in my game? Me neither until last week! 😅 #indiegamedev #devlog #wip

Last week I finished Jump The Track by @seedbyseedgames.bsky.social ! And it’s a really nice game! I loved it! My favorite part is the character cast: everyone is super endearing and fun! With the nice dialogues it makes the whole game kind of light while carrying a not-so-fun message. (👇)

🤝 same philosophy, different approach. It looks incredible!

⭕ Hey there! I’m very pleased to finaly reveal the game I’m working on : WHAT SURROUNDS US! It's a short adventure game where you can explore an abstract world in order to re-establish the balance of its ecosystem. Check it out on Steam! #indiegame #indiegames #gamedev #gaming #WishlistWednesday

I was studying product design and I was bored. The design school I was aiming also had a game design course. I applied to both entry exam, got accepted on both, and chose the stupidest but fumiest choice. ✨

And I will start with some music, just before the December trend of Spotify wrap hits us (please don’t use Spotify)! Let’s talk about Coast Arcade, an indie rock band from NZ. They released their first eponym album last month and this is incredibly good. Album of the year, hands down. 👇

From now on I will try to share pieces of media or artists that I like. Some will be shady, some will be mainstream, it doesn’t matter, the point is just to talk about inspiring things.

Happy birthday to this legend! I don't manage to figure out my favorite SNES game, but it definitely involve this cool green dinosaur. 🦖 SMW for its genius music and level design, Yoshi’s Island for the art direction. Both for never getting old.

Wednesdays is ✨ free ✨ for World Children's Day in order to raise awareness about child sexual abuse. Grab it on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2747770/... or Itch: artefrance.itch.io/wednesdays before November 21th 9PM CET!

I'm disappointed but not shocked to see Blue Prince miss the cut, given that it's English only and many of the judges are outside of the US/UK. Not much suspense here - Clair Obscur is the fan favorite and has the best narrative (ex-Ubisoft devs go indie), even if there are more interesting games

I made a video of my process crafting some creatures of our game Alterfauna✨ I'm using watercolor and colored pencils, my scanner (aka my best friend), Photoshop and Spine (sorry for the 1rst part's bad quality, I filmed with my shitty phone, I work at night and the light is horrible)

technology that makes people more productive is inherently used to perpetuate capitalism, that’s why I make videogames, technology that makes people less productive

And maybe we should create a "Made by humans" quality seal to let players know what they are buying!

Cooking 😏🧑‍🍳

I've got a new cool profile picture done by my good friend Chazlin! Check her instagram! www.instagram.com/__chazlin__/

Hot take : #hades2 is definitely the GOTY of one of the best year in video game history. It actually may be the GGOAT.

Sick show with lots of interesting games! Go watch it! (Also very nice shirt Kyle)

I just receive this mail on linkedin from some wannabe techbro student (translation in alt text) How do I answer without being rude? 🫠

Hey Salty what did you do today? Probably an awesome indie dev day full of adventures! YES, today I had a blast doing a lot of IT nerd stuff to finally install Windows11 ... Fascinating ...

Congratulations to the selected devs! ✨ These games look promising!

I made a post-mortem devlog on @itch.io about my #gmtk #gmtkjam entry. The title is "How not to come back in the game jam development after 7 years of not doing it", because yes, I made a lot of rookie mistake 🥲 salty-fma.itch.io/obedience-gm... #indiedev #gamedev

❤️

And we are done! Our #gmtkjam #gmtk project is submited. Enjoy! salty-fma.itch.io/obedience-gm... This was a really tough but fun journey! Thanks to @jfremont-composer.bsky.social for being my amazing composer on this first project together. #indiedev #gamedev #gamejam

Last day of #gmtk #gmtkjam ! Starting with the third boss 🔫 #indiedev #gamedev

Mood. #gmtk #gmtkjam #gamedev

Big boi ready to rumble! Second boss sprite for my #gmtk #gmtkjam project! (I won't finish on time 😂)

I heard that turn-based combat is a thing again, so here we go! ✨ (Yes I'm super late, and yes there is no feedback which make it incomprehensible, a totally normal game jam) #gmtk #gmtkjam #gamedev

Looks like I'm joining the #gmtk #gmtkjam ! Here is a first boss sprite I made after a long day of code. Some Gameplay coming soon! #indiegames #gamedev

Hello there! ✨
