New trailer from me, for cool as hell puzzle game Chroma Zero, that deserves your attention, especially with all the Blue Prince and Outer Wilds chat. It's really special and belongs in that conversation www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnuP...

The Steam demo for The Button Effect is *almost* ready for play-testing! If you like first-person puzzlers and want to help out, let me know? (the actual demo launch is planned for late May) 🧩 #screenshotsaturday #puzzlegame #indiegame

Thank you for making such an awesome YT short about my game @mattwilsoncss.bsky.social! Totally made my day, it’s very well put together. I also loved the waterside shot at the end :) I hope you had fun playing!

Quick update: I’m working on adding localization support to Chroma Zero, and some wonderful and talented discord members are leaning in to work on the various translations.

My favorite Next Fest demo so far is The Art of Reflection. Puzzles, exploration, and a REALLY nice movement system. If you like #metroidbrania games you should definitely check it out! The maniac solo-dev even built a custom engine for it. store.steampowered.com/app/2290770/...

Today is THE LAST DAY TO APPLY! Share this with a dev that has a very very sugoi game 💥 #indiedev #indiegames

10 years ago this week, I started work on Tunic. The game wouldn't have been the success it was without LGBTQ+ folks, both devs and players. So, I'm matching donations to Trans Lifeline. If you can spare $5 (or more!) reply with your donation and I'll X2 it. Thank you! 💕 give.translifeline.org

It's taken a couple years, but chrgfx version 3 is now released. This is a tool for working with tile-based graphics used in many retro game machines. If you have developed a retro game editor or other graphics tool, this will likely be useful for you! github.com/drojaazu/chr...

First 100 steam reviews are in, and 99 are positive! The (long...) road to 500 reviews begins. I'm not sure it'll get there anytime soon, since it's a pretty niche game, but at least the audience I made it for seems to be enjoying it.

Hi new folks! If you finished Chroma Zero, please consider leaving a Steam Review -- this early in the game's life, every single one is quite impactful. If you haven't yet finished, and need a hint or small nudge, our discord is discord.gg/n7agSngfJV

Chroma Zero is out, today! If you like the niche of open-world adventure/mystery/puzzle in the spirit of Outer Wilds, Anti-chamber, Tunic, I hope you'll give it a shot because I made it just for you. store.steampowered.com/app/3121470/...

@dicey.bsky.social my weird little game with much rgb and several hexagons comes out next week. Can I send you a key?

@suddendesu.bsky.social glad to see you over here

Good idea? Bad idea? I am thinking of making a 'Gameplay' trailer for Steam that's comprised of reaction footage from my play-testers. It's a puzzle/mystery so I don't want to spoil anything. Anyone done this? Example: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZt1... #solodev #indiegamedev

Made a trailer for my weird first person puzzle/adventure game. Anyone dig it? youtu.be/lyYAAPAxT5k #indiedev #solodev #indiegame #indiegaming

And one more post, but into the ether. Time to watch that playtesting footage again. Then, improvements. I am so looking forward to the next iteration of this.

@alexbeachum.bsky.social I’m finishing a solo-dev puzzle/exploration game and, well, Outer Wilds is its model for rewarding exploration with knowledge. I’d love for you to take a spin in this strange little world, when it’s ready. Not sure if you visit bsky at all but here we go…

@dicey.bsky.social I’m finishing a solo-dev puzzle game and I’d love for you to play it. I’m taking some risks on several “it was there the whole time” moments and thought you’d enjoy that inspiration from Tunic. Also I borrowed some RGB from you, hopefully you didn’t notice any missing.

@demruth.bsky.social …if you ever log in here, I’m making a fun weird exploration puzzle game and I’d love for you to play it. My hope is that it could make you feel at least a little of how antichamber made me feel.
