well, she has a point! #indiedev #gamedev #comedy

Went on a short trip this morning... the entire nearby mountain chain is covered with snow on top, landscape looks amazing (more than in the photo!)

I'm taking part on the itchio Black Friday sale, check out all the discounts on my games here: winter-wolves.itch.io

I got Kingdom Come 2 for Xbox series X and comes with two dvds for a total of 84Gb of installation! it reminded me of the old times with floppy disk when there was an installation disk and a play disk

the last two screenshots I posted are from my upcoming game in collaboration with Andrealphus Games, Glamour Photographer. We'll probably launch the Kickstarter early next year so stay tuned, meanwhile you can bookmark it here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/win...

this is really crazy, but honestly I'm not surprised. Sometimes I make adult games and I'm very familiar with the "wall" devs face when someone at Valve decides that your game is not good (I haven't been banned but forced in adult-category many times for silly reasons). Wishing them best of luck!

remember: the important is being philosophically poor, and not financially #indiedev #gamedev

I also updated Loren to the latest Ren'Py version plus added auto-party setup button and fixed some minor UI issues: store.steampowered.com/news/app/257...

The phone split-screen system is back! In this scene, Anna and MC remember when they were younger. It's a typical Italian tradition for fathers of pretty girls to chase boys away with wooden spoons 😅 #indiedev #gamedev

this morning did a big update on my RPG Cursed Lands: store.steampowered.com/news/app/758... but I'm keeping it in "testing" branch since this update is huge and I don't want to break current version, it needs more testing first 😅#indiedev #gamedev

My wife doesn't like snow because of all the shovelling, icy roads, etc., but it surely makes the landscape prettier. View from my window 😍

I recently spoke with 6-7 indies who released games in the last 4 months (not just visual novels, various genres). Their launch week results ranged from $1,000 to $25,000, but all were unhappy with the outcome (below their expectations). Gamedev is very tough right now...

my latest game still doesn't have 10 review so can't get a score 😭if you bought the game please consider leaving a review: store.steampowered.com/app/617990/T... #indiedev #gamedev

Galaxy Princess Zorana is now live on Steam! #gamedev store.steampowered.com/app/3069630?...

I plan to write a proper intro for each girl/model present in the game, meanwhile admire Chanel in her elegant outfit! She is a sort of ultimate goal in game (because she's the #1 model in the world) #indiedev #gamedev

working on "trends" for my next game: each month there'll be new trends you can check. If any picture matches the trend, you'll get bonus money. In this case, it's a unique trend that requires a specific combo of model + location. #indiedev Bookmark KS: www.kickstarter.com/projects/win...

did another update today, nerfing the final boss which was basically impossible in Hard/Nightmare difficulty 😅 I'm not going in details about the boss since it's a big spoiler, so instead I'll put this nice image of some of the cast 😇#indiedev #gamedev

I was checking and...Thieves of Dingirra's trading cards are pricey 😅

just updated the game and again was just 1 line of code😁#indiedev #gamedev "fixed a crash that occurred if you had unfinished personal quests and started the last chapter of the game (they automatically fail)"

This delicious vegan pear-and-chocolate cake that my wife made won't last long... 😋

I'll probably write about this in a future blog post, however I think that doing a crowdfunding has an impact on Steam numbers. I've started doing it since 2020, and I noticed that before I had much more wishlists/launch sales than now.

I just updated Thieves Of Dingirra to 1.0.8, mostly minor bugfixes except Ghamal's shop gear level. Now heavy weapon should have higher rating (and do more damage) #indiedev #gamedev

Preview of the match-3 gameplay in my next game: this is how photoshoots will work. Each model has favorite and disliked colors, and each location influences the chances of getting specific gem colors #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev

just updated Thieves Of Dingirra to version 1.0.7, fixing a very difficult bug in Yasemin's Charm skill. This took me the whole morning and of course was just 1 line of code to change 😅now Yasemin is back to charming people and breaking hearts as she should! #indiedev

launch week of my new game has ended. Thanks to everyone who bought it, played it and reported bugs (did 3-4 updates already!) too early to draw conclusions but it went better than I thought, considering current climate both in gaming industry and in the world...!

this morning did another update fixing a few things, and also adding a pop-up about suggestive content off by default at start of the game since that option it's easy to miss! store.steampowered.com/app/617990/T...

I like the Steam machine idea, and I think will have a unique advantage over xbox and playstation: possibility to play adult games in it 😇no matter if you like them or not, they're a huge market, and the Valve console will be the ONLY one where you can play them...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcDz... sharing again the gameplay video of my new game Thieves Of Dingirra so you know better what it is about! #indiedev #gamedev

my new game launch discount expires in less than 2 days. If you like fantasy light town sim, roguelikes, turnbased party RPG and of course dating sim elements, check it out: store.steampowered.com/app/617990/T... #indiedev #gamedev

Compared to my previous RPG An Elven Marriage, Thieves of Dingirra has sold same amount in its first 5 days. However, that game wasn't relegated to the adult-only category and had 3x the wishlists at launch. Hope it does better in the long run! #indiedev store.steampowered.com/app/617990/T...

today also updated my sci-fi RPG Planet Stronghold 2 to 1.1.3, which now uses Ren'Py 8, fixed some missing images, and added an extra feature: AUTO button in pre-battle screen to quickly setup your team #indiedev #gamedev hopefully didn't break anything else 😅

also reviews are finally starting to come out and so far they're VERY positive. After putting so much effort on this game (it's one of the biggest games I've done!), it's really nice for me to read stuff like this. Thank you all 🥰#gamedev #indiedev

first time this happens, but I had someone at Valve fix a bug for me! lol not really haha, it's just that I had written the name on the trading card wrong (Di'Ab instead of Di'Aab) and the only way to fix was to ask them! now it's correct #indiedev

This supposedly holy sculpture has a sort of sinister-gothic feeling that is a bit unsettling....I'm going to have nightmares tonight 😱

bonfire ahead 😅 (really seems a landscape from a souls game!)

this morning no bug reported, so I took the day off to visit a very nice place nearby. It was a very sunny day (albeit very cold) and had a good time!

so far after 3 days this game has done better than all my recent 3-4 years releases. Still just 1 review though 😅#indiedev #gamedev Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/617990/T... itchio: winter-wolves.itch.io/thieves-of-d...

some reviews started to show up, but we need more! 10 would be enough to get a rating. Please remember to review the game: store.steampowered.com/app/617990/T...

I just did a minor fix for the Steam Deck only, since correctly Ren'Py identifies the platform as "mobile", and I still had some mobile-only 10 years old code in the framework that was triggering some errors 😅I'm a true pro developer! #indiedev #gamedev

today updated the game to version 1.0.5, fixing some minor alignment issues but adding icons in vendor screen to better identify items that are better than equipped ones (green arrow) and those you can't use (red cross), useful for colorblind people #indiedev #gamedev

if you played my game Thieves Of Dingirra: store.steampowered.com/app/617990/T... remember that doing a review really helps boosting the visibility of the game and helps other people decide if it's something they might enjoy as well 🥰

since the game is in adult-only section, I've updated the store with appropriate images... 😉#indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday As said, you can still play it censored if you want, though to be fair it's still rather sexy (the image below is the censored version!) 😅

🥂SAVE THE DATE! 🥂 Galaxy Princess Zorana is set to launch on Steam on November 21, 2025 - that's two weeks from now! #gamedev #LongLiveTheQueen store.steampowered.com/app/3069630/...

an user asking if my game is playable on Steam Deck: steamcommunity.com/app/617990/d... I think so, the only issue might be the texts/GUI too small, but maybe it's just me (I'm old! haha). If anyone else is playing/played on it, let me know thanks

My wife prepared me a 100% homemade breakfast this morning to celebrate the release of the new game. Now you see why I make so many releases ! 😁 #indiedev #foodporn #vegan

I already did first small update (itchio and Steam). The relationship screen GUI was all messed up, like in this screenshot 😂. Probably while switching Ren'Py versions (I started this game over a year ago, and this screen was one of the first things I coded) #indiedev #gamedev

I just woke up and of course first time I did was checking my new game sales. I am pleased 😁still no reviews, but it's a very long game, and most of my fans got it from KS so probably don't care to leave a review on Steam? Anyway check it out: store.steampowered.com/app/617990/T...

my new game is now out on Steam too: store.steampowered.com/app/617990/T... remember that by default the game has suggestive content: off, so it's safe to stream, but if you want to see... "everything", simply enable it in the options screen! 😘#indiedev #gamedev

new blog post: winterwolves.net/blog/2025/11... in which I announce Thieves of Dingirra release on Steam, rant about censorship (again! lol) and reveal the partnership with Andrealphus Games for my next game Glamour Photographer #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev
