Well it's official today I started wiring everything into the production version of the Fractured Library demo. Saved neatly in the folder: Final/NoThisOneIsFinal/Final3/Nah4/OKSRsLY/SuperFinal/WhyIsThereChocPuddingOnMyKeyboard/Production #gamedev #indiegamedev #cozygame #fracturedlibrary

Not sure if this helps or not, but here’s @lee-raguthra.bsky.social ‘s take on the gameplay for Fractured Library. We’re only 21 followers away from our goal on kickstarter!! At 50 I’ll be releasing a ✨cursed ✨ pudding infomercial. www.kickstarter.com/projects/rag...

Throwing this amazing soundtrack on in the background whilst I work - still my favourite Wes Anderson film - man I need to dust that turntable What's the best Wes Anderson soundtrack? #wesanderson #soundtrack #music #workmusic #gamedev

First task today for Fractured Library: Add cupboard to dream like portal stage. I'm more virtual removalist now that most of the tech design is done LOL #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment #cozygame #fracturedlibrary #gamedevlife

Starting to add in all the little characters found in Inkthistle Forest for Fractured Library Wishlist at store.steampowered.com/app/3938720&... #indiegames #fracturedlibrary #indiegamedev #cozygame #cozygaming #idiegaming

I started the audiobook of Doom Guy by John Romero - one of the first books that really stood out to me about game dev was Masters of Doom so I have a soft spot for Romero and three chapters in it is so good #DOOM #johnromero #gamedev #gamedevelopment

I played this A LOT back in the day but I'd completely forgotten it #retrogames

Me making animations for Fractured Library or the opening of The Muppet Show? #gamedev #themuppets #aseprite #pixelart

Fractured Library’s steam page is up ready for Wishlists! If this is the first you’ve heard of my game, please tell me that Le’s explanation convinced you to check it out. #indiegame #raguthrastudios #cozygame #indieadventure #steamwishlist

Don't miss checking this out!!!

Just finished tightening up the menu system – clean open/close cycles and buttons that actually trigger command chains. A small step that sets us up for scalable UI without the spaghetti later. #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity #indiegames #indiegamedev #uiux #gameui

No gaming character scribble today because I've been deep into Bookcase UI building and I'm really pleased with the progress! #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #cozygame #fracturedlibrary

I am continuing with the whole gaming characters eating theme with Samus Aran of Metroid eating noodles LOL #metroid #nintendo #SamusAran #metroidfanart #gameart

In Fractured Library development, today is all about bookcase UI - it's a library, it may be fractured but of course I'm building a bookcase UI for it! Want your name and made up book title in there? Head to raguthra.com?utm_source=Lee #indiegamedev #indiegame #fracturedlibrary #cozygame

New week, new gaming character scribble - Mega Man eating pizza because I figure he'd like a slice even if it messes up his insides. #megaman #capcom #dailydrawing #ロックマン

Fractured Library just hit 100 wishlists on Steam! Kayak and Hazel are THRILLED (as am I) Thank you to everyone who already has it wishlisted, I am SO excited to bring this world to life. store.steampowered.com/app/3938720?... #steamwishlist #indiegame #cozygame

Going to the effort of doing up their own graphic is a high score effort!!!

From Atari to PS5 - this has been my gaming journey so far. What’s been yours? #Gaming #RetroGaming #PlayStation #Nintendo #GamingJourney #Gamers

Before focusing on game development I was known online for my Star Trek fan art - I thought I might shout out with today's gaming character scribble to those who followed me here with Star Trek Voyager Elite Force's - Ensign Alex Munro #startrek #startrekvoyager #eliteforce #startrekgame

I went through a lot filming this video- as you can see. If we get 50 followers on our Fractured Library Kickstarter i'll be editing up the most unhinged infomercial you'll ever see from the rest of it. www.kickstarter.com/projects/rag... #indiegame #cozygame #gaming

Wow

Another socials request for today's game character scribble - Duke Nukem. I remember playing the original so it was huge when it went to Duke Nukem 3D - I think that was on Nintendo 64 for me. #apogee #dukenukem #gamefanart #dailydrawing

Today's character was a suggestion from socials - a Mantis Lord from the game Hollow Knight - I haven't played it myself but it looks beautiful. #hollowknightfanart #hollowknight #gameart #dailydrawing

POV you need to build out a quest system for the game demo but Jonesy has other ideas #indiegamedev #cat

This is the best gamedev pudding infomercial you'll ever see* and it's just 50 follows away from being released... www.kickstarter.com/projects/rag... #indiegamedev #indiegame *results may not meet expectations

Awww I got excited for a second that this was back

A side quest today is I have to write some content for @hannahfromraguth's script for this guy - because essentially I AM this guy's voice. It's a nice diversion and a pleasure to be included in that side of things. #indiegame #fracturedlibrary #IndieGameDev

A bit of Blanka from Street Fighter to kick off my morning - any gaming characters you folks want added to the list? #streetfighter #blanka #streetfighterfanart #drawingoftheday #gaming #gameart

I've been moping around the house with a cold today, have finally sat down to do a little bit of work and @lee-raguthra.bsky.social at his desk next to me like :

So even though Spaceship Down is drifting through space right now whilst the Raguthra team are focused on the Fractured Library - it's not forgotten!!! Meet the Novahaul Logistics Group - raguthra.com/meet-novahau... #gamelore #spaceshipdown #indiegame

Game character scribble time and it's the "psychotic biotic" herself Jack / Subject Zero from Mass Effect 2. I imagine this is her responding to a perfectly polite question LOL - any suggestions? #masseffect #ME2 #MassEffect2 #biotic #characterscribble #gameart #masseffectfanart

Lara Croft from Tomb Raider is my gaming character scribble of the day! #gameart #sketch #tombraider #gaming #laracroft

So today is all about items - even if I don't place them all in the game I want to set them all up in the inventory system so they'll be good to go when I do the quest logic - nice little fiddly job that needs to be done. #indiegamedev

So today's gaming character is Nathan Drake from Uncharted - who 100% should have been played by Nathan Fillion in a film (there is a youtube short). #dailyscribble #gameart #uncharted

Today's goal = get all the Fractured Library Demo maps loaded. Number of goals achieved today = 1 BOOM! #indiegame #indiegamedev #FracturedLibrary #kickinggoals

This is a huge lesson to learn and when you do it's definitely a super power!!! LOL but it is NOT easy when so many people are doing such cool things!!! ARG I hate all you talented people!!! I don't - "breathes deeply" you all rock.

Before I get into today's dev work I decided to turn my scribble of the day towards gaming characters starting with space janitor Roger Wilco from Space Quest! Shout out if you played this! #sierraonline #rogerwilco #spacequest #gamingfanart #gaming #gamedrawing

f you're an #indiegamedev and you're fighting off isolation - you can always join our Discord and drop into dev chat - I'm in there whilst working (I'll turn off socials) and happy to discuss all things dev related :) - dsc.gg/raguthra

So in the Australian office @hannahatraguthra.bsky.social has been doing a complete #StarTrek watch through for the very first time and we've just passed TNG and into #DeepSpaceNine - it's so much fun seeing it through a new viewer's eyes. #startrekfanart #BenSisko #ds9

As you might be aware @michelleatraguthra.bsky.social makes up our Alaska office and in order to learn more about this region of the Earth I went to YouTube... #alaska #indiegamestudio #geographyfacts @raguthrastudios.bsky.social

So #demomonday is here and we're so close to completing the build for the Fractured Library Demo by @hannahatraguthra.bsky.social I can't wait to drop it first Monday it's out but in the meantime show us what ya got!!! #indiedev #indiegames

I've been super quiet everywhere because I've had to do some developer deep diving - it's been exhausting but really rewarding and now I'm hoping to rebalance everything again. I've got to say that the Fractured Library demo is coming together really well! #gamedeveloper #indiegame

My new mouse/trackball arrived and as stated on the package it is indeed huge. #boringpost #seriouslyitisjustamouse

Today was a big admin day for the Raguthra team but I still managed to add a little life to the Fractured Library demo! raguthra.com/fractured-li... #indiegamedev #indiegame #madewithunity #fracturedlibrary

This is my desk on a reasonably non goblin day - there are usually empty coke cans and more coffee cups than this. That old school calculator gets thrashed because I can never get to the computer one quickly enough LOL #indiegamedev #gamedev #worksspace

Great moments in game development - damn you z axis!!!! #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #collision

One of my favourite newspaper clippings from 21 years ago... #bigfoot #theyowie #cryptid

For the next couple of weeks I'll be focusing on the #FracturedLibrary demo build - I'm working as lead dev to bring @hannahatraguthra.bsky.social's vision to life. #screensotsaturday #indiegame #indiegamedev

Yay - lots of stuff already made for #FracturedLibrary - it's time to start the build! #IndieGameDev #indiegame #indevelopment #unity

For anyone who: - needs a cozy gaming world - prefers their reading nook to the outside world - enjoys a healthy amount of nonsense - wonders why some people can’t just be nicer - loves a nice rain storm and hot drink combo I’m about to announce something very exciting. #cozygaming #gaming
