Great way to meet other indie game devs

For #IndieFriday this week, take a look at CALMARIA by @marscardua.bsky.social It looks really creative & it’s also free. #indiegaming #indiegames #indiegame #indiegamedev

When you’re working on updating content & discover some nasty bugs that have shown themselves & really need to be fixed. 😅 #Game updates are more than just content updates—bug fixes are also essential. #gamedev #indiedev

Here's a secret video just for you :D! I made a resourcepack called Minecraft: Aslew and @unknown-png.bsky.social & @maskedabyss.bsky.social made a cool-ass variant of it :D! Here's my blind reaction to Minecraft Askew: Sweetened :)!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyKW...

For #IndieFriday, we’re highlighting NAIAD! This game looks absolutely beautiful & was a 5 year effort by @hiwarp.bsky.social CONGRATS on the launch! 🎉 #indiegames #indiegaming #indiedev

Let’s talk about #gamedev burnout, especially in light of the holiday season. Work-life balance is easy to talk about but often not so easy to do, especially for #indie studios & even more so for solo devs. So what can you do realistically? 🧵 1/4

These are some really cool (& free!) holiday assets!

A FREE procedural world generator is awesome! #indiedev #gamedev

We’re starting up our #IndieFriday spotlight again! It’s so wonderful to see solo devs able to release their creations. Congrats to @comfiedev.bsky.social on the release! A poetry collection manifesting into a game sounds really cool. 🎊🎉 #indiegames #indiegaming

Let’s talk about #YouTube #Shorts. Our YT channel posts at least 1 Short every day & has for the last few months. Some of our learnings: * Shorts are a more casual format. We found better success with Shorts that are just interesting gameplay 🧵 1/3

And congrats to our friends at @gamemodeone.com on this amazing #Minecraft DLC! 🎉

Congrats to @unormal.bsky.social on the launch of Caves of Qud!! 🎉 #indiegames #indiegaming

Great thread here. Work-life balance is important, possibly more so as an #indiegame dev because in small teams, everyone does multiple jobs. But burnt-out employees aren’t healthy for themselves, the studio, or the games. Even machines get worn down over time! Self-care is important. #gamedev

Fantastic games in this bundle! Little Kitty, Big City is a personal favorite of @helenangel.bsky.social Support #indie games & a great cause!

This is a good demonstration! #gamedev

Welcome to all the new folks following us! We’re a tiny #indie game studio & an official #Minecraft Marketplace Partner. We like posting thoughts about #gamedev so we can learn more & chat with others in gaming. We missed all the good discussions before Twitter turned to rubbish.

We have a website! If you’re wondering why we’re not using it for our account here yet, our Director of Community is still trying to figure all of this out on Bluesky. 😅 (I’ll get it down, really! -Helen) syclonestudios.com

@yakk0.org We really are going to email you back, promise! 😅 We had some stuff come up.

Sometimes trying to decide the direction of a game is the most difficult. Everyone on our team has such great ideas! But there’s only so much time & we have to keep scope realistic. Plus, we’re supporting our released content & working on updates. It can be tough to balance! #gamedev #indiedev

This is very true. It’s disappointing when things have to be cut or end up not being as planned, but it’s also important to get a game out the door. #indiedev #gamedev

Really looking forward to sitting down with @yakk0.org to discuss the #Minecraft #Transformers DLC! It was a childhood dream come to true for us. 🤩 #indiedev #indiegamedev

When you’re an #indiegamedev it can be difficult to keep on top of updates to all the content because, well, there’s only so many hours in the day! 😅 But we try to get out as much as we can as fast as we can—much to the dismay of our sleep schedules sometimes. 😅

Sorry it took a bit to start posting here. Had to get everything sorted & whatnot! We’ve been working on squashing some bugs & updating content!

Excellent! We're very excited to be on here & hope you'll give us a follow. 😀
