This exclusive early alpha test was only available to people I know in real life. 🌎 That’s because it had a special personalized Happy Birthday message at the end! 🎉 Once I remove personalized stuff and add a bit more content I’ll be looking for more alpha testers! 🎮 #indiedev #gamedev

Echoes of the Outworlder has hit over 500 wishlists on Steam! 🎉 To celebrate, here's a secret dialogue you can normally only see if you're part of the most exclusive super early alpha test. 🤫 #gamedev #indiedev #Metroidvania

Been taking a bit of a break from social media and working on things that aren't as fun or flashy. I've optimized my Room System to now have a queue for unloading rooms bit by bit instead of all at once. I'm also finally adding a controller tab for controls remapping! #gamedev #indiedev #Godot

This #ScreenshotSaturday I'll show a still of the newly announced Cheat Wheel! 🤫 Abilities like Wall Jump and Dash are suit upgrades while the Cheat Abilities come from being an Outworlder originally from Earth! 🌍 They'll be unlocked one by one as you grow into your power. 💪 #gamedev #indiedev

I was trying to rush to get the Cheat Wheel reveal trailer ready before Silksong released, but I didn’t quite make it and the trailer ended up being a bit rough. But now that means I can start talking about each ability in greater detail over the next week or two! #gamedev #indiedev #Metroidvania

As #Silksong breaks the internet you might be interested in looking at my isekai Metroidvania where you get transferred to a new world and end up with Cheat abilities! First look at the Cheat Wheel below! 👇 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #metroidvania

Requote with your most popular artwork of 2025! This one by far for me! (If we count other sites too) I ended up with around 6k likes between two posts and I’ve never had any other post break 200 likes 😵 #gamedev #indiedev #isekai #Metroidvania

Haven't had a lot of time working on my game this week because of preparations for a new part time job I've been accepted for. But I did get a chance to work more on my title screen art! Still WIP, but getting there. #gamedev #indiedev #isekai #Metroidvania

I can't help myself! Here's a sneak peek! #gamedev #indiedev #isekai #Metroidvania

I've been making a lot of progress on it, but I want the reveal to be flashy, so I'm stopping myself from showing it off too soon 😭

Do you guys like seeing Work-in progress? I’ve started working on my game’s title screen. Still a long way to go, but the idea’s there! #gamedev #indiedev #isekai #Metroidvania

I haven't been posting much lately. I'm working on flashy new mechanic for my game. I can't wait to show it off once I've tested it enough and decide to keep it in the game! So here's a horde of Cloudhoppers while you wait. #gamedev #indiedev #Metroidvania

Updated trailer! 🎬 Echoes of the Outworlder 🌍💫 A bite-sized isekai Metroidvania where you explore and grow stronger in a new world while trying to learn why your transfer into the new world went terribly wrong. 🔍 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #Metroidvania

😭 I was setting up leaf particles for gently falling in the sky when I added the save point sprite instead of the leaf sprite 💀 #gamedev #indiedev #Metroidvania #Godot

Experimenting with adding a dark red aura around the boss for added intimidation factor. (Or is it to help with contrast with the background...) Also added lizardmen cheering sound, let me know if it sounds alright 😅 (no double jump or dash for this fight normally) #gamedev #indiedev #Metroidvania

My debug button was still set to summoning cloudhoppers so the first boss suddenly became another horde of adorable terrors. The lizardmen are supposed to help in this fight but they're just cheering on from the background for now. #indiedev #gamedev #Metroidvania

First look at the ornate boss health bar for this #ScreenshotSaturday Check out the game's store page on Steam below! 👇 #indiedev #gamedev #Metroidvania

I need to figure out a way to add a horde of these guys to the final game, this is too fun! #gamedev #indiedev #Metroidvania

When the cutest enemy has its knockback bugging out and death disabled, it becomes truly terrifying. #gamedev #indiedev #Metroidvania

I started working on a new basic enemy. I wanted it to fit the sky islands thematically, but it might blend in a bit too well. 😅 #gamedev #indiedev #Metroidvania

Having fun with shaders. Ignore the first boss chilling to the side... #gamedev #indiedev #Metroidvania

I added a modular system where I can darken the player's surroundings with an editable brightest point and darkest point. I also made a new crystal deposit pixel art! #gamedev #indiedev #godot #Metroidvania

Finally got my exp/currency UI added in! It's kind of crazy how much more fun it is to play now. Numbers go up feels good. Inspired by @constancegame.bsky.social's currency UI. I loved theirs the most when researching! #gamedev #indiedev #Metroidvania

I was originally planning to have a playtest in March, but it's now July and I still don't have enough content for a playtest. I still need to finish this game by the end of the year so I'm making the painful call to cut 4 full areas and multiple characters. 😭 #gamedev #indiedev #Metroidvania

I felt bad the circle didn't have its own selection animation so I made it a blobby selection fire #gamedev #indiedev #Metroidvania

Finally added basic functionality to my Upgrades menu. Made it modular enough I can easily add/remove slots and adjust costs, names, and descriptions. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Still working on my pause menu UI and this time I've added colored tabs to the top. What do you think? #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Got jumpscared while playing through my game when I decided to open up a conversation with an NPC and forgot I added blinking to her a few weeks ago. I was staring directly in her eyes when it happened because I've been going back and forth on her eye color 😭 #gamedev #indiedev

What do you think about adding tabs on the sides that show the color of the menu in that direction? Bonus me mashing the buttons to make sure it survives the mash buttons test. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

I'm experimenting with giving each tab of the pause menu its own main color #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Alright, final draft! I think it's ready for reorganizing the nodes and writing the script for moving the cursor! I just animated that cursor flame by hand today, too! What do you think? #gamedev #indiedev #godot #ui

I worked on it a bit more. Here's rough draft version 2 #gamedev #indiedev

Here's a bit of a rough draft of my first go of this in #Godot. The lock pattern is a shader that moves up and left very slowly, and then they fade away where the lock ends on the left. #gamedev #indiedev

Earlier, I was sketching a possible design for a skill/upgrade tree on the back of a manual I had lying nearby. Some #godot UI terms in there too. #gamedev #indiedev

Due to a bug I was jumpscared when I was testing the spooky caves. Suddenly the sky island level appeared around me! It was really spooky with the lighting and background of the caves! #gamedev #indiedev #Metroidvania

I made special spawners for my moving platforms since my moving rooms don't work well with moving platforms. It was a great chance to add good stuff to the inspector like where it's going to move to and whether it's a puzzle that can be added to GameManager.completed_puzzles! #indiedev #godot

Alright, here it is! My new Room System! Watch as the camera pulls back to show that despite everything looking so smooth and seamless, for every room change, the room jumps to the world origin (0, 0)! I put a large red dot on the world origin! It doesn't move! #gamedev #indiedev #godot

I also implemented a system where rooms move to the center of the world on room changes to avoid floating point precision errors. Getting camera locks and parallax backgrounds have been an absolute nightmare to get working with rooms that suddenly move a thousand pixels. 😭 #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Still working on my Room Management system. Got a test scene that has all rooms open at once so I can easily edit them and move them around. Then got a tool script working in that scene that with a press of a button, I get all the offsets of rooms to the ones that can spawn it. #indiedev #godot

Zara can now blink! And yes, I'm changing her eyes back to red. Changing it to green seemed like a good idea at the time, but it never ended up feeling right for me. Let me know what you think! (My profile pic still has the green eyes for comparison) #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Thank you so much for the follows! 1,000 is a really big number! I'll keep working hard on the game! #gamedev #indiedev

I'm working on Zara's blink animation and I can't get over her with half-closed eyes #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

I really wanted to sing today, but it's hard to know how to include singing into a game besides trailers or credits. I'm curious. Do you think my vocals here bring something good to the music, or do you think the music is better without vocals? #gamedev #vocals

What used to be fused as one area is now all in separate pieces! Also, put some 🔥 lyrics in this vid. "Moving the map, movin' the map, yeah." 🎵 #gamedev #indiedev #godot

🎤 Fun Fact: I actually recorded the vocals in that teaser just for this video! 😎🎶 #gamedev #indiedev #vocals

#PitchYaGame 🌍💫 Echoes of the Outworlder is a pixel art isekai Metroidvania where Jake explores a world where magic has vanished. ⚔️ Become an unstoppable force as you uncover secrets, explore lush pixel worlds, and piece together the mystery behind the lost magic. #gamedev #indiedev #metroidvania

I started implementing my save/load system, but then I realized a big part of it is knowing which “rooms” to load so now I’m implementing the full Room Management system I’ve been planning for a while. It will replace my previous Area Management system #gamedev #indiedev #metroidvania #godot

Stream finished! Here's a quick look at what I made on stream: #gamedev #pixelart #ENVTuber

Going live now to finish up the save point art / animation for my game! Stop by and say hi! 😄 #gamedev #pixelart #ENVTuber

Here's what we have so far from the art stream! I'm making the magical rest areas / save points for my game. I'm taking a break now and am considering hopping back on stream a little later on to finish this art piece up! #gamedev #pixelart
