We then adjusted it to scale for the island, making it a bit more of a modest size #indiegame #indiedev #behindthescenes #MOTI #adventuregame #pointnclick #horrorgame #noir #mystery

Sometimes, it isn't just a concept drawing that we get inspiration from! For example, on the island there is a beach house on the island inspired by this house in Marseille. #indiegame #indiedev #behindthescenes #MOTI #adventuregame #pointnclick #horrorgame #noir #mystery

A look in the past.... #adventuregame #pointnclick #horrorgame #indiegame #indiedev #gamingcommunity #release #bloodonthethames #outofcontext

The Game Maker's Zodiac by Isaque Sanches presented a unique way of looking at types of creators in the industry by job family, and other personality traits This along with how to explore more about these archetypes to create better synergies across the team is encouraged. #GDC2025 #gamedev

The last week of talks we loved starting with "The Power of Culture in Game Development" by Kate Edwards and Tina Merry where they outline how culture can be an amplifier from both within the studio and help games reach and represent more people across the globe.

Continuing with #GDC2025 talks we loved is "You Are Not Alone" by Renee Gittins, Neha Patel, and Julia Minamata where they each gave their own accounts on their experiences as indie game devs as a way to make a connection to others who might feel alone in their situation #IGS #GDC

Another talk we liked was "Teabag in First: How 'Thank Goodness You’re Here!' Does Comedy" which was centered on how the creators of the #IGF2025 nominee did comedy, which is especially hard to write in video games. #IndieGame #GameDevelopment #GamingCommunity #VideoGames #GameDesign
