Which one has a better board game vibe? Simple Style vs. Detailed Style? 🤔 #SoloGameDev #Indiegame #BoardGames #turnbased

Cards & details, some elements did survive the whole dev process 😅 #SoloGameDev #Indiegame #BoardGames #turnbased

Drive space is not free, especially nowadays! I'm doing my part... No need to waste hundreds of MB on the player's hardware due to poor optimization. #SoloGameDev #Unity3d #Indiegame #BoardGames #turnbased

My goal: make games for potato PCs, because hardware prices are getting too ridiculous... (...and games can still look fine)

Right now, DETECTIVE 26 has a total of 50 different suspects! 🫠 #SoloGameDev #Indiegame #BoardGames #turnbased

If we look at wishlists by country, and treat it like baseball... ⚾ ウィッシュリスト 野球 🧢 韓国のウィッシュリストは日本よりも多いでしょうか？ ⚾ Wishlist Baseball 🧢 🇯🇵 5:4 🇰🇷 ⚾ 위시리스트 야구 🧢 한국이 위시리스트에서 일본을 제칠 수도 있겠네요! #WishlistBaseball #IndieGame #turnbased #インディーゲーム #ボードゲーム #ターン制 store.steampowered.com/app/4080440/

4 Suspects, only 1 Clue... who is it...? 🤔 #SoloGameDev #BoardGames #turnbased

My virtual board game, now also with German translations! 🇩🇪 Jetzt auch mit deutschen Übersetzungen und Namen. Manche Namen im Original gelassen, klingt manchmal einfach besser #gamedev #boardgames #brettspiel #ボードゲーム

Just found out, there is a DETECTIVE 24 TV show.. But, this has absolutely nothing to do with my DETECTIVE 26 game, it's just a funny name coincidence 😆

Translating character names - yes or no? 🤔 For now, I go with yes! 🇯🇵 キャラクターの名前を翻訳すべきかどうか…？ 🤔 今のところ、翻訳する方向に決めました！ #SoloGameDev #Indiegame #BoardGames #turnbased #インディーゲーム #ボードゲーム #ターン制

How are things? So far I can say: "I love it when a plan comes together." 🅰️🚬 (why is there no cigar emoji😮‍💨 ) I know, people hate plans, project, management and alike, but it is a true time-saver!

I believe (virtual) board games don't need to look static and boring, but can have a world, which is cozy and alive! This is my take on that.. #SoloGameDev #Unity3d #Indiegame #BoardGames #turnbased

I love the board games Carcassonne and Clue/Cluedo... So I thought, why not have a bit of both in DETECTIVE 26? #SoloGameDev #Unity3d #Indiegame #BoardGames #turnbased #Cluedo #Clue #クルード #妙探尋兇 #Carcassonne #カルカソンヌ #卡卡頌

I'm developing simple turn based strategy game, will release this month.

One of the largest maps I made so far, with 116 tiles. ✈️ Got to roll a lot of sixes to explore all the area. #SoloGameDev #Indiegame #CozyGames #BoardGames #SoloBoardGaming

Happy New Year! In 2025, we organized 💯 #TurnBasedThursday showcases across Bluesky & Twitter!! 🎉 The Turn-Based Games Discord's grown to 2,700+ members, and our annual online festival & Steam sale was a huge success! Want to learn more about this great community? 👇 (1/7)

Connecting the player color to the game's main color theme. Could be good or bad... But, why not! #SoloGameDev #Indiegame #CozyGames #BoardGames #SoloBoardGaming

Entering new year in Taipei: ✨Happy new year! 🎆 For everybody else: See you in the future! 🕰️

Let's try the new ability system! First Ability: Make one (!) teleport jump... 😅 #SoloGameDev #Indiegame #CozyGames #BoardGames #SoloBoardGaming

Welcome to the jungle! 🤟 However: This relaxing board game features no guns, only roses! #SoloGameDev #Indiegame #CozyGames #BoardGames #SoloBoardGaming

Merry Christmas / Meri Kirihimete! From all of us at Balancing Monkey Games🎄

Wish you all a Merry Xmas with a supersized Santa!!! 🎅 🎄

Times are tough, computer hardware prices are soaring. Everyone needs to tighten their belts. I'm doing my part! Reduced texture resolutions, looks almost the same, and saves almost 50% of the player's storage cost! #SoloGameDev #Unity3d #Indiegame #BoardGames

Last map of the week: Make a relaxing visit to Taiwan's Taipei area with it's landmarks like the Taipei 101, Liberty Square and Fort Santo Domingo. #SoloGameDev #Unity3d #Indiegame #BoardGames #Taipei

Caribbean 1826 map design started with the arrival on beach, then making a raw island shape, and ultimately filled it with lovely details! #SoloGameDev #Unity3d #Indiegame #BoardGames

Good ol' memory about making my own first animation 😅 I'm sure every gamedev has those "first time" memories, right? What's yours?

Merry Xmas everyone (just 7 days left!) 🎄 A little xmas gift upfront: released a demo update with special content like a snowman as player character and more! #SoloGameDev #Unity3d #Indiegame #BoardGames

A typical city map for the player to travel around in my relaxing board game - no time pressure! 🏙️ #SoloGameDev #Unity3d #Indiegame #BoardGames

Just working on a new map for my relaxing, virtual board game DETECTIVE 26, a castle map in 1426. 🏰 If you also like castles, it's time to wishlist! 🤗 Wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4080440/...
