Good morning from Libertatia

Huge launch of my friend, go check it out! The game is a blast to play.

We just released the demo (and this awesome trailer) for Escape from Slumberland! Go check it out on Steam - store.steampowered.com/app/3011520/...

Go play this locally-grown grass-fed Chicago game! Got to play it at CIGS last year and it's come a long way since.

Got brand spanking new inventory UI art thanks to the artist I work with (Ben Collie), feels great to upgrade this after such a long time having the temporary art. Old version in the thread.

This is the type of stupid stuff people re-post on Bluesky. How about instead of shaming the oppressed, you encourage them and try to build towards something better together 🤔

CORAROC IS OUT NOW ON STEAM! You can get Coraroc. You can play Coraroc. Now go! Go play Coraroc! store.steampowered.com/app/3963120/...

Rough draft of a couple of the moves on the upcoming boss for HT2K for #ScreenshotSaturdays, playing around with the IK legs and all #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

Changed my camera to orthographic, and it actually looks kinda cool? Idk if I'll use it but it's fun to see the game a different way

Here's a couple behind-the-scene views you will never see in-game. I really love the isometric view, would be fun to maybe re-visit this game as like a third person city builder or something.

Still ramping up towards the demo, working on a new trailer for it along with re-working the game loop after feedback from CIGS. Took catalog of all characters made for the game so far today, here they are.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

I had fun messing about with Dock King at CIGS yesterday.The tall stacking and delivering mechanics will lead to shenanigans all over this town of wacky characters. store.steampowered.com/app/2014160/...

Ready for #CIGS (IYKYK) with some freshly printed stickers, our fantastic parrot printed out large, a new character added to the game by our artist Bernardo, and a fresh new build of the game v0.50!!

New interview up on #YouTube with Keith of @citywizardgames.bsky.social Check it out if you’re interested in some sharp insight on designing games that bite back 😈 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zhu8... #indiegame #indiegamedev #Gaming #steam

Had a great time on the Pixel Breakdown podcast, check it out. Talked about a lot of different aspects of Dock King's development. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zhu8...

ANOTHER win for the indie chicago scene, love to see it

Another win for the chicago indie scene

Chicago indie devs let's goooo

Meet the villain of the game (the "Dock King"), how's he look? Credit to @bencollie for these fantastic animations.

Contracted the talented fernandobravan to make this fantastic capsule art. You can see the progress from the image I first sent him to the final art. (Thank god I can afford to hire an artist and don't have to use the first one) www.artstation.com/bravanart

This is what most of game development actually looks like

What 1 month of daily skeletal summonings looks like~ #pixelart

Doing some pixel art this weekend as well as setting up these merchant stalls to rotate out new items and allow NPC's + the player to purchase them .. behold the fruits of my labor

My dream is to get to this level of quality across all disciplines one day (or find somebody like Tiani has to balance out the disciplines I'm not good at)

Wasn't sure if I wanted the MC to talk in my game. I like when the MC is kind of a "mysterious" person that the player can prescribe multiple motivations to. But also I wanted to show emotion/personality, so I'm going with abstract speech bubbles.

Working hard on my demo for the ICG showcase. Gave up on controller support for it because it would be too last minute with probably a trillion bugs. Focused on the other 100 bugs for now 🙃

Heres a pack of Game Devs from Chicago! Give em a follow they're all SUPER mega talented and deserve to be seen! and if you're from the Chicago game dev scene and wanna be added, lemme know! go.bsky.app/CuXz3Zy

Okay here's a video of a gif I just posted because I learned we can't do gif's here 😅

Me running back and forth between social media platforms to find the best one (hi bluesky)
