Making a new horror game project

I made an Elder Scrolls: Oblivion lockpicking sim game! Game at: www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/...

Polishing up final level in the Elder Scrolls: Oblivion inspired lockpicking game I'm making #oblivionremastered #elderscrolls

Building a playable sim of the oddly tricky #lockpicking minigame in #Oblivion. #gamedev #indiedev

Fiddling with a new horror game idea

Everything the scope touches #programmerhumor #lionking #coding

Tried combining the music of #OuterWilds with #Undertale

Balatro basically has just one main theme, and multiple variations of that theme. Combining them all together sounds surprisingly... coherent? #balatro #music #ost #gaming

Some character concept art that the artist drew for a new game in planning. #gamdev #characterdesign #illustration

Artist drew her version of the concept art plan!

#gamedesign bit, I've found short simple tutorials to be the most well received by playtesters in #gamedev. Few words, focused action, clear feedback, starts and ends quickly. Detailed descriptions do little if the player skips it all.

SpellWheel has an interesting premise on it. You have two wheels filled with runes that you combine to cast a plethora of spells! Find the best combos for each fight and work towards recovering your love from DEATH himself! youtu.be/tTdozA9qBOE @maximtsai.bsky.social #indiegame #indiecreator

Whoever it was that donated $30 to Exhibit of Sorrows (free game), I just want to say I love you.

games industry culture is just you and your friends taking turns yelling at each other to take breaks when someone is working outside of work hours

Some playtesters thought my game's starting tutorials were a bit plain, so I spiffed them up with a surprise intro from the next opponent. #gamedev #indiedev #tutorialdesign
