I just picked up Adaptory by NZ studio Stormcloak Games (it released in early access today). It's not my usual genre, but I'm utterly charmed. No astroturfing, it's just a really satisfying early access title with lovely music and game loops. Indie dev is hard, and it's nice to see this title out

More beautiful #dev #art. The brief was "the players need to be able to carry an explosive device". 💣 The sphere, we get. But the fuse? *chefs kiss* #gamedev

ADAPTORY IS OUT ON EARLY ACCESS RIGHT NOW! GEDDEM! store.steampowered.com/app/2201620/...

Today's #DEVMAS is about looping gifs, which is the EASIEST possible prompt for us because Shape Sender Deluxe already has a perfectly looping gif export!

I’d say Before We Leave, because that was our first game and it came out in 2020 😅🤘 The historic year I suddenly became a game developer store.steampowered.com/app/1073910/...

#Devmas with #Adaptory - Day 6 All these moving elements make a flawless endless GIF tricky, but here is a lovely view of a smooth water system cycling between regular view and our liquid overlay. Thanks to Cathlia for posing so long. #indiegame #basebuilding #simulationgames #nearlyendlessgif

Welcome to Day Three of the 12 Days of Devmas! 🎄 Our prompt today was to show our favourite view in our game, but one does not simply choose ONE view in Beyond These Stars...so here's four! 👀

Shape Sender Deluxe's shape trails are sooo important as I talk about in this video for Day 3 of #DEVMAS (Favourite View) 🎄 Here's a short design ramble about one very specific visual feature of the game :)

I love Aotearoa New Zealand video games
