I was painting rocks for my doggy game this week when someone in chat asked me the 100 million dollar question :) It's been a long journey the past years but I have really enjoyed it. #solodev #indiegamedev #aaatoindie #maekgaem www.youtube.com/watch?v=DE-H...

Working on my second indie game "Marduk: Once We're Home" #indiegamedev #solodev #playerhealthui #huksy #maekgaem Walking through the player health UI and how it interacts with dashing & defense.

Ya'll! A new game is out from @direprism.bsky.social (behind Treacherous Journeys) released a new game today! #indiedev #horrorgame #actionrpg #supportindie Grimfog - "A Black Metal Base Building Action RPG" dire-prism.itch.io/grimfog

Quick review of my parallax art from last week. Whatcha think? Plenty values in the parallax tweaked, foreground art coming soon. #indiegamedev #solodev #husky #zoomies #pixelart

Went to help at a mocap shoot and ended up looking like a Caravaggio painting. XD #indiegamedev #mocap #Xsens Presenting: "The Otter of Notre Dame"

I hit road blocks in spoken-interviews. But rather than see my #autism & #adhd as roadblocks I changed the rules of the game, I instead focused on opportunities that would allow me to do contract or temp work in front of the people that would hire me. #interviews #gameindustry #indiegamedev PT 1

I think the hardest part being a #SoloDev is to limit yourself to only one project at a time… I'm getting there I promise 🤓 #IndieDev #IndieGameDev #GameDev #Godot

If you could make a dream game of any IP out there what would it be? #indiegamedev #dreamproject #dinoriders I always dreamed of reviving Dino -Riders for the game they never got!

WIP of some incoming parallax layers for "Marduk: Once We're Home" Prolly will do another good detailing pass. Hoping to keep it detailed yet impressionistic, lemme know what you think! Dog for scale #indigamedev #solodev #pixelart #husky

Ya'll, Anthem was a really hard push to completion for many. But LOTS of love went into it. There's a few ambient animation sequences I'm proud to have worked on. It was sad to see it trip over the starting line but I'm eager for this retrospective 💜 #gamedev #gameindustry #exBioWare #Anthem

New vs old youtube thumbnails! How do you like the change?? Many more videos to come as more gameplay becomes presentable & polished 😊 Feel free to sub 👇 www.youtube.com/@NeutronioGa... #indiedev #solodev

DuckDuckGo has added a feature to filter out AI images from search results.

Recently this #gameindustry has been obscenely difficult for devs. Whether you're a dev, recent game dev school grad or just learning on your own, your effort, your learning, it's NO small thing. #indiegamedev #solodev #gamedevschool #aseprite Would love to see what you're working on!

Just added this little guy to the game. It will be used to develop the story, explain mechanics and keep you company. Do you want to be friends with him? #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine #incremental #storytelling #gamedesign

Happy #screenshotsaturday! Art Attack is coming along nicely. We got shops and death, which means the game now fully embodies capitalism. #gamedev

Sometimes indie game dev especially #solodev can get really daunting by oneself. With my ADHD it's been helpful to work with a #bodydouble around me to keep focus. If you need the same I'm here for it. Would love to see what you're working one. Catch me weekdays. www.twitch.tv/ottermakegames

Hey all! Check out the opening of my 2nd indie game I've been working on for the past year! 9 months of gameplay & programming, now finally cracking into Art, Animation & Sound this month. MORE TO COME! #indiegamedev #solodev #husky #MaekGaem #playthrough www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNFC...

Otter has been helping #MaekGaem on Gameplay & Interactions focused on Narrative experience in a world of Secret Agents, Love & Betrayals from other ex-BioWare colleagues. In the meantime, Episode 2 of The Concierge podcast! #theconcierge #northmiststudios #indiegamedev

Perfect night to go out painting last night. Queen Alexandra Elementary. Gouache, 8x10”

Otter brain is prone to empty brain sometimes so just adding pixels and numbers over here #soloindiegamedev #husky #MaekGaem

Getting more comfy with adjusting my adjusting my brush in #aseprite - SPACE + R for rotate brush in addition to the posted documentation #sologamedev #pixelart

Here are some examples of how we beat the hell out of them mid-air in #ThrillerNight 🎵@destryur #BeatEmUp #ArcadeGame #IndieGame #SoloDev #GameMaker

Played Xenosphere by @nifflas.bsky.social last week and had a REAALLY META TIME and also a really GOOD TIME! Shows how small games can have so much to offer! Nice work Nifflas! Play it here! nifflas.itch.io/xenosphere

Working on far distance parallax layers and trying hard to avoid the temptation to put in 27,000 layers of parallax. Well a few more couldn't hurt.... muhahahaha #soloindiedev #GameMaker #husky #PixelArt

Hey all! Lots of new followers this past couple weeks, welcome! Hi I'm Otter, an Ex-AAA & Ex-BioWare dev turned solo indie game dev. Game dev is my #autism special interest. Need fresh eyes or a body double to help focus while you work? Otter is here! #IndieGameDev

Made a new base spell animation today and I have to say, I'm pretty happy with it! I've been making a ton of progress this week. Can't wait to push into the new zone once this new combat is play tested. #pixelart #gamedev #solodev #animation #gamedesign #combat #TheOldOne

Working in the industry I slowly learned how my Austism's need to clarify my intent was getting in the way hearing the feedback. Then I learned to just stop, listen, be curious & ask questions first, before getting into my intentions. #GameDev #Autsim www.youtube.com/shorts/4acWV...

I often get asked about making AI games on stream. Slop is a good starting term but let's talk about WHY it's slop. #NoAIGames #GameDesign #SoloIndieDev #MaekGaem #Aseprite No connective tissue = No cohesion.

Inspiring goose art in the park! IYKYK www.twitch.tv/ottermakegames Otter stream today! #bodydouble #gamdev #audhd #MaekGaem

When the recently added tagging system to the galaxy procgen can be used to modify spawn rates of objects with certain tags... Which means, this screen will finally do something in AstraX 0.6.1 😀 🎉 #gamedev #indiedev

Got a good question about going about building a platformer. For me it's about what feeling I want to give the player. What is it for you? #GameMaker #solodev #platformer #indiegamedev
