After spending a while working on roads, I feel like its finally ... connecting ... #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

Me too, Tom, me too #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

This was actually the product of the new terraforming tool I've been working on #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

Feeling pretty good about the desert oasis level I've been working on #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

Testing out how much nature the engine can handle, didn't think it would be good with this much. #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

Screenshots of various things I've been working on recently #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

Spent some time to allow player to select completely custom colors for their buildings. People will pick nice colors that go well together, right? #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

A little more with some long arched bridges #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

More work on bridges and canals and archways. Also see the somewhat finished longer bridges in the background #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

Was traveling a lot over the past few weeks so I made this word spelling points game to play: steve7987.github.io/WordGame/ #indiegame #wordgames #gamedev

Worked a bit on some fancy fountains. Now I just need to work on the effects #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

Got to work on some additional types of connections for houses, allowing for more types of courtyards. Also, look at the people fishing!!! #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

Somehow got distracted building this when I was supposed to be fixing a few path finding bugs #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

Had a lot of fun doing this interview about my first game with @cornellcrits.bsky.social. Funny coincidence: Right after finishing this interview, Chris Wilson posted his interview of David Brevik about Diablo II; quite the stroke of fate. #indiegame #arpg #gamedev

Finally got the demo polished and ready to be played. You can check it out right now!!! #majorupdate #steam #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev store.steampowered.com/app/3768940/...

Been experimenting more with other kinds of grids and tilings. This is two little stars connected to each other. Also demo coming soon... #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

Trying some more circular based maps #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

A few things I've been working on #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

Early mornings at the monastery #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

Experiments with various styles of geometric grids and symmetries led to this. #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

I made everything inside out by mistake, but I also don't hate it #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

The other set of targeters I made, definitely took longer than expected. #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

I now get why youtubers always ask for you to like and subscribe, it works and those things matter to ze algorithms. So wishlist now!!! #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev store.steampowered.com/app/3445040

Tried some shader magic for making some new build targeters #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

Had some fun designing this little castle garden :)

Been working on some larger sized towns, no gpu fires yet... #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

A little behind the scenes look at the pathfinding graph used by most residents. White edges are normal, blues are special items like doors and stairs, and yellows are places for birds to perch. #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

Gotta program some resting behaviors, don't want the dogs to tire themselves out too much... #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

I think I need some boats on this river, but otherwise I'm starting to like it #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

It was surprisingly hard to get this windmill animation working and staying in sync, but now I can never worry about it ever again :) #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

Some behind the scenes screenshots from testing out a river map. #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

You may be wondering how a lake of that size, with no visible water source, on a small island could support such a massive set of waterfalls. Well the answer is quite simple, "A wizard did it" #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

Exploring some different ideas with making parks #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

How it started vs how it's going #gamedev #solodev #progress #citybuilder

It is with great fanfare that I am happy to announce the title and Steam page for my upcoming city builder: Belle Citique!!! #majorupdate #steam #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev store.steampowered.com/app/3445040/...

What's a cozy game without a little fishing??? #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

Been working on village residents and their behaviors, happy to see it starting to come together :) #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

Got to work on a new biome, and trying to brainstorm a few more. Maybe a cave/lava level? #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

A little park construction. And don't worry, I will animate those windmills soon... #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

A little gameplay with the UI... #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

Think I did a good job syncing up the music. Big announcements coming soon!!! #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

@gamedevlist.bsky.social I'm getting back into posting her more regularly. I'd love if you could add me to your list, thanks :)

Maybe my favorite screenshot so far

Well I may have gone a bit overboard, but I just really love waterfalls... #indiegame #cozygames #citybuilder #gamedev

Been trying to work on some tech to help with recording trailers and videos. Still need to think about how I want to move the camera... #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

Working on some gifs for a Steam page. And I just feel there should be something better in 2025... #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev #steam

Trying out some different map sizes, and I think I like them both #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

I think there's something biological about why waterfalls are so pleasing to loo at... #indiegame #cozygame #citybuilder #gamedev

Trying out a new biome today, starting to like it :) #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #cozygame #cozygames
