I'm so happy with how this is coming together now, the laser feels fantastic. It still needs more juice but I'd say this is about 50x as effective as the previous iteration, what do you think? #playdate #1bit #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart

Slow progress as Ive been in a bit of a slump but my little guy can shoot now. I hoped I could get away with not showing projectiles bc of the performance cost but I dont think this sells the effect. Anybody got any ideas for ways I can add juice without more sprites? #playdate #gamedev #indiedev

You've got about an hour left to score Brutal Legend (one of the best heavy metal games of all time), for $0.00 (one of the best prices of all time). doublefine.itch.io/brutal-legend The 666-minute giveaway might almost be over, but our love for Ozzy will never end. 🤘 🖤 🤘

I've been doing some @play.date dev recently, it's a tonne of fun and really easy to get into. GIF from what I've been working on 👀 #playdate #indiegames

Accessibility question for PC games - What I'm working on right now will have the mouse as the only means of interacting with the game (nothing very precise). Are there accessibility concerns with that? If so, what alternatives can I consider? #indiedev #accessibility

Would anybody with a background in 'professional' game dev be willing to chat with me a little about project planning and project management when working within teams? Super engaging topics I know 😭 I'd be very grateful! #gamedev #indiedev

Our new game I AM RIPPER has just been announced! So proud to share this with you all! You can watch it here: youtu.be/wiJXmB20oEs

Desktop pet cult management sim

Just watched the Thronglets ep of Black Mirror again and it's pretty crazy. If that was a real game, what's the first goofy/weird/useful thing you would want to do with your throng? 🤔 Asking for no particular reason... #BlackMirror #Thronglets #indiegames

It's #WishlistWednesday and I've been working so hard on Bugboy's demo, I would love a wishlist if you're interested in cozy Gameboy games! #gamedev #indiedev #indieGame

In no particular order and not particularly accurate as I don't really do favourites: Resi 2 remake Deus Ex: Human Revolution Rome: Total War Oblivion World Of Goo Factorio League Of Legends Still Wakes The Deep Battlefield 1 Cruel

Wow is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 good. Definitely not something I'd usually go for but I'm so glad I did - absolutely incredible atmosphere, voice work, animation, VFX, music and narrative plus it plays like butter. What a debut. #ClairObscur #expedition33

Finally had a little more time to work on art for Forbidden Friend (my virtual pet game) - What do you think? #indiegames #virtualpet #pixelart

Two firsts today... first interview for a senior developer position and first interview with a multinational. It can only go so badly, right? 👀

This is going to sound crazy but I started drinking these hot shot juice shot things with cayenne pepper and now I think I really like spicy drinks? Are spicy drinks a thing?

Tried my hand at some pixelart for a virtual pet game I'm working on. What do you think? The game is called "Forbidden Friend" and has you nurturing an eldritch god and its cult. This is one of the cultists #pixelart #indiegames

Such a good response to the hate this game is getting. I'd probably go even further to say, even if Yasuke wasn't a historical figure...who cares? It's a story. Nobody whines that star wars has spaceships and aliens. The whole point of a story is to do something interesting #acshadows #yasuke

Has everybody seen Ubisoft Brazil's trailer for AC: Shadows? If you haven't, trust me - you need to. youtu.be/89bztUO2JuE?... #assassinscreed #ubisoft #videogames #acshadows

I did a quick implementation of Conway's Game Of Life yesterday as a learning aide for LOVE2D - If anybody wants to give it a look you can find it here: dansanfranman.itch.io/game-of-life #indiegames #solodev #freegames

1 day until Dipets release! Recruit different friendly dipets to join (or come back) to Pixel City and unlock new buildings and mechanics like fishing, cooking, fast traveling and more! #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #indiegamedev #pixelart

Crime doesn’t pay, but it doesn’t stop the bad guys from trying in this stand-alone follow-up to RoboCop: Rogue City. RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business is coming to Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC in Summer 2025.

I picked up Robocop: Rogue City yesterday because it was on sale and I can't believe how satisfying it is to play. Devs have got that Robocop juice DOWN

The latest additions to my not-so-little-anymore gamedev library! #gamedev

I just beat Banishers: Ghosts Of New Eden - such a cool experience. A real shame it didn't perform as well as it deserves. If you like the sound of Witcher-esque ghost hunting in 17th century New England then do yourself a favour and pick it up. #gamerecommendations

I have a steam key for Prey 2017 going spare - first come first serve 😁

Some screens from a little #puzzlegame i've been working on, hope you like it! It'll be out on itch.io at the start of March. It's very relaxed, very colourful, and will hopefully be a nice break from the world. Let me know what you think! #indiegames #indiedev #itch #puzzlegames #colorful #relaxed

Very cool new puzzle fighter, check it out if you've not seen it yet and consider wishlisting to help @julienaubert.bsky.social out

Wow this making games malarkey sure is hard work huh? #indiegames

Started "playing" Ropuka's Idle Island today and wow do I wish that were me If you're the kind of person who occasionally pines for a simple life then it's probably something you'll enjoy #indiegames

📣 LOOKING FOR CREATORS! 📣 I’m working with a UK charity that offers safe spaces & support to victims of domestic abuse. We’re running a fundraiser in Women’s History Month (March), and would to have more creators involved - if that’s you, gimme a shout here or in my DMs! (Plz signal boost 🙏💚)

Hi all, I have an idea for something that might help v. small indies gain traction + need input - if the following applies to you I'd be grateful for a DM so we can chat! 1. you intend to release a game 2. You believe its good 3. You don't expect to sell any copies #indiegames #gamedev #indiedev

I started messing around with GO yesterday under the guise of learning something more modern. I've gotta say, it's pretty neat. Very easy to use and gobyexample.com is a great resource

I'm a sucker for books and this looks gorgeous

guys go play video games

There is nothing worse than the anticipation of a package arriving 'today'. I can't even do anything with the thing that's coming (collectibles) but does that let me think about anything else? No. I might as well write the whole day off (only half joking)

We're excited to announce that the Cerebral Puzzle Showcase will be returning this summer! 📅 May 29th - June 5th If you have a #puzzlegame you'd like to be considered, please submit it directly here: www.cerebralpuzzleshowcase.com?2025 The deadline for submissions is 23:59 Mar 31.

Picked up Hexen on GOG for dirt cheap, and wow. How can a game be so confusing and yet so satisfying to play? What do all of these items do? WHERE IS THE SWAMP KEY?! Episode 2 makes episode 1 feel straightforward

Finished reading 'Doom Guy' a couple of days ago, real interesting stuff if you like video game history. Romero was involved in way more projects than I'd have guessed and seems like a really pleasant dude. Ended up getting carried away and buying the SIGIL beast box as a little treat... #doom

We are getting really close to reaching 100 followers on this account. Just 4 more to go! It would really make us happy if we could get past that number soon! 🥹 Thanks for all the support so far! We have some news to share soon as well so stay tuned! 😍 #gaming #gamedev #indiedev #cozygames #PC

Im looking for a 3D artist to help with my VR submarine game, Tigershark. Its grungy hard surface modelling and texturing, and if you have extra skills I'd be happy to have them. 25% rev (negotiable) + pizza/beer/whatever fund as a token gesture. Whatever hours you want #gamedev #indiegames

Worked on electrical systems for Tigershark today. The end goal is to have power flow from the source, down wires, through fuses, and into the subs systems. Fuse blows or wiring gets damaged? Better repair or replace ASAP because that system is useless until you do. #gamedev #indiegames #vrgames

I've been working on some explosion VFX for Unity (which is a little outside my comfort zone) and I have to say, it's not nearly as hard as I expected! It's a little awkward and I had some teething issues but all in all I'm pretty pleased with the outcome 😁 #gamedev #unity #vrdev #indiegames

Games User Experience Research Tip: Before you send a survey change it so it can only be taken once (per person) People will attempt to skew your data otherwise

Over the past few days I've gotten locking bulkheads, radar, periscopes AND a handheld XRay scanner working for my submarine game, Tigershark. Really encouraging to get so many features up and running in such quick succession 😁 Onto loading and firing torpedoes today 🚀 #gamedev #indiegames #vr

Newest additions to my little game dev library, courtesy of my younger brother. Belated Merry Christmas everyone!
