I was super chuffed for my 3D topology to make it onto @flippednormals.bsky.social last year. It's now had 245K views on YouTube alone 🙃

3D artists, show your wireframes!

One thing I'm a massive proponent of when starting development on a new indie game... Getting the music and soundscape in ASAP.

As always I’m late to games but time to get to Röki.

I just realised, I'm now writing my 10th column for @debugmag.com! That's a nice milestone to reach. 🥳

If video games aren't art, then explain this...

If you think we did an entire episode about Hades II, and I WOULDN'T bring up my love for @kanaratron.bsky.social's "Mythwrecked", you are the silliest of gooses.

Today, I'm overhauling the stylized 'unlit' lighting system I created for Rök/Mythwrecked, to evolve things for our next indie game.

It's always good to include a human figure in your work for scale.

Indie games

YOINK! I've been looking forward to The Séance of Blake Manor for a while! Congrats on the launch @spookydoorway.bsky.social gang! 🎉

Hey everyone! I'd like to invite you to the @polygontreehouse.bsky.social Discord server. Whether you're a fan of our games, indie games in general, or are an indie dev yourself, you'd be more than welcome. 👉 discord.gg/polygontreehouse

Nice! New landing pages for 'verified on Steam Deck' games 👌🏻

It's nice to be starting a new project and to be able to roll in all the learnings from the last two.

I'm a BIG fan of physical media, so it's safe to say I'm SUPER STOKED that our multi-awarding winning indie game Mythwrecked will be getting a physical release!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Snag your copy below & signal boosts are most welcome folks. 🏝️ bit.ly/mythwrecked

That the week wrapped and I'm having a ball. Work should always be this fun. 10/10.

...We've had some lovely reviews and I'm super excited for folks to be able to add it to their collections! Big thanks to @redartgames.bsky.social & @whitethorngames.bsky.social for making it happen 💙

For all the new folks landing in @bsky.app, both #indiedevs and players alike, I made some starter packs a while back that you might find useful 👍 🔸 Indie Game Studios - go.bsky.app/EbnyA2d 🔸 Solo Indie Devs - go.bsky.app/46HSs4C 🔸 Indie Game Publishers - go.bsky.app/DAoKtHj

took me me a while because I don't usually play chill games like this, but the island vibes drew me in- and it was exactly what I needed. Incredible polish...and the music just... wholesome. 40+ hours in a 10-hour game says it all. The ending was a nice surprise too!

Hello to all the new people 👋🏻 I've no idea where you're coming from, but I just want to manage your expectations.

News you don't want to Myth! We are partnering with our friends @redartgames.bsky.social to provide a physical release of #MythwreckedAmbrosiaIsland on PlayStation 5! Keep your eyes open for February 5, 2026! @polygontreehouse.bsky.social @playstation.com #mythwrecked #indiegames #playstation

Mythwrecked : Ambrosia island is coming physically to PlayStation 5! As backpacker Alex, you must befriend the forgotten gods of Greek mythology and restore their memories. Explore, solve the mystery and save the gods! 🏛️ 🛒 https://bit.ly/mythwrecked

My indiedev studio space Spring (okay, Autumn) clean = done ✨

I really like to previz all the major UI screens of a game early on to 'play-act' what functionality I need, before working in-engine.

Younger kid has just finished playing Roki. She's young enough that she'd forgotten most of the plot from when Chris played and is swearing it's the best game she's ever played or seen. I don't blame her in the least. Phenomenal game. Thanks @kanaratron.bsky.social !

Art Vs Artist

You're never too old to start making indie games.

Go follow @aidanmoher.com, and listen to his amazing FunFactor podcast too!

Been playing #Mythwrecked Very pretty and chilled game by @polygontreehouse.bsky.social 😍👍🏻 Sat on some cushions and just listened to the looping music for about ten mins...before I realised that I needed to get on with playing the game!🤦🏻‍♂️ Well played, Polygon Treehouse...👏🏻😎

If you see this, post fungi.

I only learnt what isekai meant when someone on Bluesky said that our first two indie games were in that genre!

In this issue of @debugmag.com I'm talking about signposting, visual noise and frequency of detail 🙌🏻

Witchcraft. Here's an example of an iris sliding over the eye surface, rather than the eyeball rotating itself.

I may take a *few* liberties with human anatomy from time to time in our indie games.

Some of my 2D character design iterations for our debut indie game, Röki.

Our biggest ever IRL indie game showcase is coming Q2 next year alongside @debugawards.com UK based or can travel here? We want you to join our community in person! Did we mention it’s free? Developers, our DMs are open

FYI I plan to be making indie games well into my sixties 💪🏻

Holy shit. That's me making games professionally for 23 YEARS then.

HOW DID YOU MAKE THIS? @kanaratron.bsky.social from Polygon Treehouse (devs of Röki and Mythwrecked) explains his process and perspective on putting out multiplatform games in this informative interview. Listen wherever you get podcasts or watch the video version on YouTube: youtu.be/EBiGHV5tJR8

Well, this was nice to wake up to! Big thanks to all 30k+ of you for following my indie dev nonsense 💙

Everyone: Making 3D games is hard. Me: Yes.

I have a goal to write some of the most unhinged video game dialogue of all time.

I am developing an unhealthy interest in the art of spreadsheets.

so basically this is @kanaratron.bsky.social's Mythwrecked 👽 pretty chill collectathon game, needed something like it in between the souls-like metroidvanias

If you see this, post a monster
