Having some more fun... 🌻💦 #gamedev #indiegame #cozygame #platformer #thursdayvibes #underwater

From water to land and back again - that's the flow in Shallow Pond 😊💦 #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #cozygame #cute #indiegame #ue5

Just go with the flow... 💦❤️ #gamedev #indiegame #FridayMotivation #cozygame #platformer

Hello everyone, here I am. Just keep swimming...remember? 🙃 Shallow Pond is making progress ❤️ #gamedev #indiegame #platformer #cozygame #wholesome #cute #ue5

Hey, what's going on here? I'm alive and busy creating! #gamedev #indiegame #cozygame #cute #ue5

Well, I just happen to really like this shot. Forever. Life can be simple, sometimes 🙃 #indiegame #gamedev #TrailerTuesday #cute #cozygame

Creatures, anyone? 🍕 What other kinds of creatures would you like to see in Shallow Pond? #gamedev #indiegame #cozygame #cute #FridayVibes #creaturedesign

That big huggable robot will play an important role in Shallow Pond. What do you think his purpose is? #gamedev #cozygame #indiedev #UnrealEngine5 #wishlistwednesday #cute

Every milestone counts, having fun at #Gamescom and spotted my game keyart 🌻 #gamedev #indiegame #solodev

Weird real-life experiment: If you happen to be at #gamescom2025 and you run into someone wearing this shirt on • Wednesday •, say hi 👋 - it's me 😁. Would love to chat! #gamedev #indiegame #solodev

Those having followed me for longer might remember this one 😁 How often do you encounter bugs that are actually fun to work with? Asking because bugs tend to come back whenever they like to 😬😊 #gamedev #indiegame #gamedesign #cute #platformer #underwater #cozygame #ue5

Just keep running, don't you think? 🙂 #gamedev #indiegame #cozygame #ThursdayFeeling #ue5

Do you have parts of your game that ended up being tackled way later than expected - even though they’re core to the experience? Still not 100% done with the waterfall, but I’m glad it’s finally in. #gamedev #cozygame #indiegame #Wednesdayvibe

My confession: I abused #trailertuesday with non-trailer content more than once. Here's an actual trailer to make up for it! 😉 🖼 4K YT version linked below 👇 #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine #cozygame #cozy #cute #underwater

Looking back at this older video, once you strip away all the polish, it really comes down to one thing in the end: pure gameplay satisfaction 🙂 #gamedev #indiegame #gamedesign #ue5 #cozygame #cozy #MondayMotivation

Here's the longer gameplay trailer of Shallow Pond that has been shown in the Steam showcase on Thursday, as featured by IGN and Gametrailers. #gamedev #indiegame #screenshotsaturday #cozygame #cozy #unrealengine #gamedevlife

Shallow Pond featured on IGN, I couldn't be happier 💦 - link to game below - #gamedev #indiegame #cozygame #cozy #platformer #ue5 #solodev

The first showcase inclusion on Steam for Shallow Pond 🥳

Here's Shallow Pond, my cozy 3d platformer, developed solo. Swim like a penguin and explore the land, collecting secrets. Just updated my Steam page, wishlist if you like! 💦 (Link below, RT+like to support❤️) #gamedev #indiegame #cozygame #solodev #platformer #ue5

Thanks for the great input! Just had to share another waterfall moment - too fun not to 😊. And yes, I’m listening ❤️ Your feedback has already made the game so much better! #gamedev #indiegame #gamedesign #cozygame #ThursdayThoughts #cozy #ue5 #Gameplay

You're a cute diver. You swim super fast. And you can cast some kind of water magic. Now there's a big waterfall in front of you. What do you do? How do you intact with it? Let me know your thoughts! 🙂 #gamedev #indiegame #gamedesign #cute #cozygame #wishlistwednesday #gamer

The “Games Forged in Germany” showcase airs this Thursday, July 24 at 10:30am PDT / 1:30pm EDT / 7:30pm CEST! More information to follow soon! Can you spot Shallow Pond? 🙃 #gamedev #indiegame #cozygame #cute #trailertuesday

Should little combos like this matter in the game? Would you reward them - or just let them feel smooth and satisfying? Anything else you'd love to experience as a player? #gamedev #indiegame #cozygame #screenshotsaturday #gamedesign #cute #platformer #ue5

The road ahead - where is it taking us? I'm in that intense place of wanting to fill every corner of this with life. To see it through. To make this game something that earns its place - and is truly worth playing. #gamedev #indiegame #cozygame #cute #ue5 #thursdayvibes

Looking back at this old level makes me question choices I once felt sure about. It’s a tricky balance - staying open, but also trusting your past instincts. Do you deal with that too? #gamedev #indiedev #wishlistwednesday #cozygame #platformer #unrealengine

It's fun revisiting old gameplay test areas of the game... #gamedev #indiegame #cozygame #cute #solodev #gamedesign #TrailerTuesday

Remember that one? Building the right mechanics mix for your game isn't easy. Add too much, and players might get confused. Have a fine weekend, everyone! #gamedev #indiegame #cozygame #cute #solodev #gamedesign #FridayVibes

I'm so invested in the game I build. It feels good to be unplugged from it for a few days. For instance, I built a new playhouse for my kids. So refreshing! How do you manage to find time away from your project? To stay healthy? #gamedev #indiegame #ue5 #thursdayvibes #solodev

I realized that I'm showing too little enemy smashing. Some more of that! Also, starting July 24th I'll show more enemy types (trailer drop). 💦👀 #gamedev #indiedev #cozygame #gameplay #indiegame #unrealengine

Let's just take a brief moment and stand there, reflecting on the current situation. Something about this doesn't feel right 😬😁. #gamedev #ThursdayThoughts #indiegame #cozygame #underwater #diver

Iteration after iteration. Sleep, craft, repeat. With 100 more demanding things happening in parallel outside of this dream world. But I always want to come back, day after day, to crawl deeper into this rabbit hole ❤️ #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #gamedesign #cozygame

Just posted my first TikTok. Please keep supporting me in any way you already do ❤️ I will drop the first proper trailer for Shallow Pond July 24th. This will be a game changer for me, a lot has happened. #gamedev #indiegame #cozygame #unrealengine

Feeling stuck? You’re not alone. Progress can be tough, and hitting a wall is normal. Try stepping back or looking at things from a new angle. Sometimes, your mind just needs time to reset. Trust yourself that you'll get there 🤙🏻 #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #gamedesign #cozygame

There is exactly one person who is going to start your dream project for you. You know who it is 🌟. No shortcuts. No miracles. Just passion, focus and hard work. Plus Pizza 🍕. You got this! #gamedev #indiegame #cozygame #underwater #thursdayvibes #UE5

Still crafting, day after day. ⚒️ Don't want to spoil anything until the end of July. Lots more to see and learn about Shallow Pond by then! 🍕 #gamedev #indiegame #cozygame #underwater #wishlistwednesday #UE5

I will drop something big by !🌟end of July!🌟 Additions like this divejump have a huge impact, but this is just the beginning. A lot to unfold in Shallow Pond 💦 #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #cozy #diving

Ripples learned something new, the dive jump. What do you say? 💦 I wanted to add this for quite some time. Finally 😁! It's another small addition to the myriad of things I added in the last two years. #gamedev #indiegame #wishlistwednesday #cozygame #diver #solodev

The simplicity of rubbing pencil into paper is so refreshing compared to the multitude of things necessary to get anything to work in engine. Do you #draw to outline your ideas? #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #cozy #cute

Nearly two years ago vs today... #throwbackthursday #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #cozyvibes #unrealengine

Shoutout to @monoflowmusic (Andreas Karnung), we will be closely working together on the music of Shallow Pond ❤️. #unrealengine #gamedev #indiedev #wishlistwednesday #cozyvibes #gamemusic

Steady progress. Each iteration counts, every day makes a difference. Small changes add up. Trust the process. When do you make your best progress? #gamedev #indiedev #cozygame #cozy #thursdayvibes #leveldesign #cute #gamedesign #solodev #underwater #ue5

I want to give you a closer look after having completely polished the lighting 🍕 #gamedev #indiegame #cozy #wishlistwednesday #fun #diver #solodev

Finally revealing more landscape elements! ould you like to stroll through this environment with Ripples? #indiegame #gamedev #cozy #relaxing #gameplay #solodev

Another small run, just exploring and going with the flow 💦. #gamedev #indiegame #leveldesign #cozygame #diving #cozy #solodev #cute

How do you like the new far away mountains? I found a solution that works quite nicely! It's even more fun now once you're out of the water with diver Ripples in Shallow Pond 😊. #gamedev #indiegame #cozy #indiedev #wishlistwednesday #platformer

What do you do to follow your biggest dream(s)? 🌟 For me it's about sensing what I strive for on a daily basis and trying to accomplish a little bit of that aim, to keep going. 🖼 #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #cozygame #wishlistwednesday

I'm curious, when do you start working on your game demo, what is the right time for your? 💦👀 I love talking about topics like these. Please let me know your thoughts! #gamedev #solodev #indiegame #cozy #gamedesign #wishlistwednesday

I often hear that people like my positive attitude. I'm not faking it - I really do try to stay positive, even when it's tough. I believe it would be even harder without that mindset. How do you manage to stay positive? 🌞 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #wishlistwednesday #cozygame

I've got a question for you fellow gamedevs: How do you plan your levels? Paper, clay, lego, in engine/3d, greyboxing, etc.? I'd love to know. Ripples says hi, btw! 😁 #gamedev #leveldesign #cute #cozy #indiedev #gamedesign #solodev #wishlistwednesday

Testing ideas, one small step at a time. Having fun with my game, that's quite a robust head he has, right? 😁 #cozy #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #gamedesign #wishlistwednesday
