So I released the updated prototype on itch. If you're feeling bored or kind then check it out and tell me what you think.

It's Wei Song, the player character from the narrative adventure game I'm making, ◀Future Ghost▶ A rare direct-to-digital drawing. Most start off as pencil on paper. How would you caption this? What is Song reacting to? #indiegamedev #indiegame #illustration #comics

Do you like it when a game lets you do things like this? Because ◀Future Ghost▶ - the narrative adventure game I'm making - has a few interactions like this one! #indiegamedev #indiegame #comics 日本語版⇩

Goal is a 100% blind gamer friendly #indiegame. Got a great plugin for screen reader compatibility. Reads things it shouldn't, like image filenames. Doesn't read things it should, like in-battle menus. Workarounds take time and lateral thought. #Accessibility IS important, but ISN'T always easy.

Thanks to every who's paid money for our pack of 400 sound effects so far! It's 100% free but we really appreciate every single penny thrown our way, it'll help us to keep making cool free game dev assets :) #gamedev #indiedev chequered.ink/400-sounds-p...

Discovered a new (to me) #retrogaming and JP pop culture store in a shopping centre I don't visit often. Decent selection. I snagged 'Parodius da!' (GB) for AU$15. Dude said he had no idea about the JP games, so I told him what this one was (a parody of Gradius) but he just looked at me blank. 😅

The demo reviews are in! "A really fun homage to Final Fantasy Tactics!" "A clever mix of sports and strategy… shows strong potential for fans of both." "It felt like something entirely new to the genre." Play the FREE Demo! 💫 store.steampowered.com/app/3035460?... Thanks #PitchYaGame! 💖

Check out the nice write-up Jeff (Yokozona) did for his renewed website, based on the interview he did with me earlier this year. It covers insights into my ideation and practical processes for the development of my narrative adventure #indiegame, 'Future Ghost'...

I remembered some players at the expo in March trying to see what happens when you walk into an "invisible wall" on the edge of the stage in the opening of my wip narrative adventure #indiegame ◀Future Ghost▶... Decided to do something about it...

🔥😵 Pepper Odyssey is OUT NOW on STEAM and ITCH!!! 😵🔥 store.steampowered.com/app/3622840/... wavey-games.itch.io/pepper-odyssey #majorupdate #indiegame #rpg #turn-based #indiedev #survivalgame #roguelite

Demo time. Go easy on me. #gamedev #indiegame store.steampowered.com/app/2906320

A turn-based RPG, but the special moves are all named after Muse songs.

I wonder if sighted players will choose 'Screenreader mode' just for the additional #comic style text boxes and cute robot bat sidekick? Narrative adventure #indiegame ◀Future Ghost▶ will have a bunch of #accessibility features, including this special mode for players with impaired (or no) vision.

#solodev making Battle Fortress Terra. A third-person strategic action shooter for #pc. Control a huge tank/battleship on wheels Players can customise weapons, armor, shields and abilities. Check out my progress in the video below #unrealengine #gamedev youtu.be/GYM4ZqWdI9E?...

Been doing #gamedev stuff that isn't so easily shared, of late. Like 🧠-driven EN→JP #translation for the in-game timeline, not 🤖-driven (pictured). Improving the screen reader compatibility for greater pronunciation accuracy has been another, for #accessibility and pedantry purposes.

We take a look at the cozy word puzzle game RITA and give our early thoughts on this wholesome exploration into family legacy. @sporktank.bsky.social youtu.be/6teu3Tp7-BY #indiegame #indiegamedev #puzzlegames

I've published the date and Pepper Odyssey is coming out November 5th 2025. On a Wednesday three weeks from now! 🙌 store.steampowered.com/app/3622840/... #indiegame #wishlistwednesday #rpg #turnbased #pixelart

Dynamic timeline for #comic styled #indiegame Future Ghost now 95% functional! Video shows... • player character on a mountain + idle animation • menu opening & Timeline selected • Timeline opening, most entries locked, accessed using keyboard, then mouse • start of a cutscene, played from Timeline

Simple stuff never is. This WIP in-game dynamic timeline took a weekend. Building for multiple input methods has been the real kicker. Choose from perfect mouse input with "laggy" keyboard/gamepad (press twice to move b/w active entries) or broken mouse input! Cutscene playback *basically* works.

Talk to me, despite the fact that I was absolutely cooked every time I entered the indies. I'm grateful to the Qualbert team for making me feel like such a welcome member. I'm grateful to Untitledgaming.net for giving my videos a platform.

Hail Mary is the ultimate risk/reward play. The receiver has a 50% chance of instantly being walloped and super fumbling the ball! Luckily I kept Rewind enabled so I could try again :) Wishlist and Play the Demo: 🌋 store.steampowered.com/app/3958090?... 🏈 #indiegame #srpg #football #lava

All the PAX AU posts are making me feel like I'm missing out, as both a potential exhibitor and attendee. But then I remember my family and two jobs, and that gamedev is just my hobby. Maybe one day it will be something more. Exhibiting at TGX in March was great but so impractical and costly... 😓

Mockup of the timeline UI for my wip narrative adventure game ◀Future Ghost▶ It will fill in as the player character experiences or learns about the events included in the timeline. Most will have cutscenes, but not all. #indiegamedev #ui #retro #comics #storygame

Is 31 key plot points over a span of 1500+ years too many for one narrative game? If so, too bad!! ✌️😄

Discovered today that yet another game feature I thought I had covered with a plugin is not screen reader compatible and will therefore need to be built from scratch. Now to try and resist the temptation to make it super fancy.

Been implementing and improving on QoL features for my wip narrative adventure game ◀Future Ghost▶ Here's a look at how the environmental hint system works, on a basic level. No pixel hunting in the #pointandclick adventure side of this #indiegame! #storygame #comics #indiegamedev

The character upgrade screen for my narrative adventure game ◀Future Ghost▶ with full screen reader compatibility! This degree of compatibility is unusual and takes some work to implement. My aim is to make it possible for even fully blind players to enjoy the game. #indiedev #accessibility #ui
