A detailed devlog post about how I handled the gender adaptation of the 15,000 lines of text in Blêktre 2081, with non-binary forms, inclusive writing, and the challenges of translating such shortcoded text from FR to EN. 👉 devlog.5tfu.org/gender-short... #solodev #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Just a new devlog entry about the RPGification of Blêktre, currently in progress. Will you be more of Social Nihilist or a Capitalist Predator ? devlog.5tfu.org/index.php/20... #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

I'm not sure multiplayer point and click games can be trendy, but who cares? Mobile version on the way (big pixels are looking good on small screens) #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Thanks to the newcomers from the Winter Sale, it is not completely over 🤭 Here is a sneak peek at what is hopefully the last update of Blêktre 2081 planned for 2026. devlog.5tfu.org/index.php/20... #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

Blêktre 2081 received a couple of fixes, but of course I also added a stupid limited edition Christmas hat. Happy holidays ! steamcommunity.com/games/304540... #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #mmorpg

Besides game dev, I'm also a web dev & music producer. Ten years ago, I made an open-source PHP script for free music sharing. It lets you script full JS animations on your album pages. my albums : bondecampe.5tfu.org code : github.com/c13303/Bonde... #webdev #javascript

Stunfest was incredible. Blêktre 2081 got lots of love and made new friends—it felt great after all this dev time. More an experience than a game, and a solid one. Here's the ultimate major update— a good time to dive in ? #mmorpg store.steampowered.com/news/app/304...

Since lockpicks are implementend, some players find it funny to defecate in other people's apartments 😑 #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Still struggling to explain the (overly unique) genre of my game in a short trailer! Do you have an opinion on this final attempt? #solodev #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

📢 The expansion is supposed to be fully up in 15 days - details will come soon ! But the brand new Blêktre 2081 is already there store.steampowered.com/news/app/304... #solodev #indiedev #indiegames #rpg

Hello, good and bad news! Blêktre 2081 has been selected to appear at Stunfest on October 24-25-26 (Rennes, FR) 📢 Good news because it means this new and ambitious version of the game will be ready by then. Bad news for me because I have to grind hard to be on time 😆 #indiedev #gamedev #solodev

Blêktre 2081 is a commercial failure — and that’s excellent news because it will free up development while staying true to its original vision #gamedev #indiedev #solodev store.steampowered.com/news/app/304...

"Get yours" #pixelart #gamedev #solodev major Blektre update expected for september 2025

Bad surprise yesterday morning. The game recovered with no data loss, but it raised some questions for a solo dev. blektre2081.blogspot.com/2025/06/blog... #solodev

Cyborgs have needs too. #gamedev #solodev #pixelart #indiedev

Hey! Blêktre has been out for 4 months, and I'm planning an update to enhance what's already there. Players, I'd love to get your feedback through this short survey: shorturl.at/zK4gC Also giving out Steam keys for new playtesters, reach out to me on Discord! shorturl.at/iKDJc #solodev #gamedev

The next major update of Blêktre 2081 will include the long-awaited ability to run any bullshit business without fearing buyouts from other Blêktrians, allowing for a secured solo experience. The construction of the startupstrial incubator zone has begun. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

This small update lets you plaster your face all over the streets. Blêktrians won’t stand a chance, they’ll be lining up at your shop before the competition knows what hit them. The world burns better with pockets full! #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #pixelart

My friend SalmonellaSalami (aka Unas, CxAxB ...) is working on his very first Godot game, called CRACKSWORD. For a learning project, it's already looking insanely good—no surprise, since he's a genius.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc-u... #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #godot

How my UX designer gave me a beating store.steampowered.com/news/app/304... #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #pixelart #UX #UI

We're pushing the simulation even further - you can now poop on the floor (when you can't afford a toilet) (Featured in the major UI overhaul shadow-dropped today) #gamedev #solodev #pixelart #indiedev #simlife

Did I mention I'm using Aseprite for my game? I'm using Aseprite for my game. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #solodev #aseprite #madewithaseprite #indiegame #devlog #pixelartist #gameart

I'm happy—thanks to my UX expert friend, the reworked UI implementation feels much fresher and more intuitive than before. It might help newcomers! Planned for V1.2. (and using the clip to drop an unreleased tune snippet 😝) #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #UX #UI #devlog #UIDesign #GameDesign

2025 : To my knowledge, Oxygen Not Included is still the only game where you can defecate in solid gold toilets

Zombi (1987), the very first game by Ubisoft—the ST version has some incredible music. As I'm reworking the Blektre UI, removing the arrows on the screen, I just remembered I probably saw that kind of implementation there for the first time... #gamedev #indiedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv4T...

I started a lengthy series of post-mortem blog posts about the Steam release of Blêktre 2081. It will lead to the marketing lessons, for now starting with the genesis. Read it on my devlog: chien-games-blog.5tfu.org/blektre-2081... #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #post-mortem #steamrelease #devlog

A hopefully final trailer for this real-life simulator, aiming to truly show how the game plays #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev #mmo #simlife #incremental

Hell in society also means sometimes having to share the sidewalk with others. Admire this multiplayer feature with thrilling gameplay. #indiegame #pixelart #cyberpunk

As highlighted in a positive Steam review, Blêktre 2081 is unlike any game you've played, making onboarding a challenge. Worry no more, Blektropedia is there. store.steampowered.com/news/app/304... #IndieGame #GameDev #PixelGame #GameUpdate #NewGamePlus #Blektre2081
