Are the "mood of my game for 15 seconds" post still a thing? Anyway - my first serious attempt of crafting a FPS environment in @godotengine.org. #solodev #indiedev

Attention indie game fans: don't let that one fly... no... zoom under your radar. This pod racer has some of the best, tightest controls out there, and is immensely satisfying to play. Plus, it has been solo-developed by a Polish #solodev friend of mine, over the course of last 3 years.

Seriously... 😒

I'm starting to write more reviews of smaller titles on Steam. 1. Reviews are very helpful for developers and players alike. 2. It's a nice way to cap off a fun time with a game. So not only do I recommend Babushka's Glitch Dungeon, but I also recommend writing reviews of indie games you enjoyed!

Babushka's Glitch Dungeon is only $1.49 until Jan 5!! store.steampowered.com/app/1876850

Some of the most original indie games that just overflow with love put into them. Do yourselves a favor and treat yourselves to a charming gaming feast this holiday season!

I'm kinda swamped irl rn, so I almost forgot this, but all my games are currently on sale on itch for the winter sale!! 50% off, and you can get everything in a bundle for $20! Or you can also wait a few days for the Steam winter sale if you want Elephantasy/Flipside on there without getting a key!

New monster quick #aseprite sketch. #pixelart #horror

Made some new #pixelart textures and sprites and wanted to test them. I was blown away with how easy and quick it was to create this simple test scene in @godotengine.org , 100% from scratch, crt-shader included. I think I'm in love 💙 #indiedev #godotengine #FPS

Snake in the Dark is a part of the Animal Fest on Steam :-) If you haven't played the demo yet - this is your reminder! store.steampowered.com/app/3198700/... #solodev #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #steamfest

Less than a year later - here we go! @steampowered.com announces its new hardware. #indiedev, if you're ignoring controller support in your game, it's time to re-think. Steam is now a home console. store.steampowered.com/sale/hardwar...

Steam Hardware

The Steam Hardware family officially expands in early 2026.

Imagine @steampowered.com releases a new version of Steamdeck, that is slightly more powerful, but comes without a display or controller, and works with external display and bluetooth controllers. Would you buy it? Sounded silly in 2018, doesn’t sound half-bad in 2024.

Just a small update to my game's logo and capsule images (giving them more breathing room, replacing old cube with a mouse that's in the game now) resulted in significant uptick in my daily wishlist gain. I was putting it off since a year. Let that be a lesson to all you #indiedev #solodev #gamedev

Blunt Blade and a Hundred Halls is a cozy, wholesome first-person slasher roguelite adventure game where a boy meets a friendly devil who lives in his basement walls and decides to feed him with his all-time favorite food: freshly sourced dungeon freak meat (yum!). #pitchyagame

It's all fun and games until... your UI... develops... an eye? #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart #horror

@indieretronews.bsky.social Hi! I've just announced a very retro-themed game on Steam. Thought you might be interested. Loving your blog! bsky.app/profile/supe...

@dqstudio.bsky.social Thanks for all the reposts and support! It's really appreciated :) Would've wishlist your game multiple times if it was possible! :D

Give us back the arcades! #indiegame #retro #retrogame #intro #arcade (announcement soon!)

GBA-era pixel art was exceptional in many cases. With high-fidelity display that wouldn't blur things like CRT the artists had more room for detail. The greater capability to display color art in (relatively) high resolution gave the art a place to shine. GBA launched 24 years ago. Still impresses.

We've done a whoopsie linking assets and now the game is full of people in underwear. 100% leaving it that way. MiniCar Shop Simulator pretends to be a toy car retail sim, but is a social commentary/racing game. The demo is in #nextfest! Wishlist the game, please! store.steampowered.com/app/3661250

Snake in the Dark update! My current demo build has been approved for release! I'm not hitting that green button just yet, though. Plenty to do with the generous playtest feedback I got. The demo WILL BE available for Sokoban Fest, starting April 21st. That means... two weeks. Oh my.

I wanted to make a joke about it, but I think this actually is a serious issue. Game like A Game About Digging a Hole or Powerwash Simulator, or even Cookie Clicker should come with a trigger warning. Games like this trigger my ADHD/OCD subroutines and I become a slave to the game until completion.

Tired of subscription services disguised as videogames? Are you looking for entertainment made by #gamedevs who choose to put gameplay before monetarization? Play. More. #indiegames! (and support the awesome #indiegamedevs making them for you.)

My day-job project is almost at launch date, so I have less time for solo-deving. Just played a couple of levels of my Snake in the Dark after a break from development and I'm second-guessing my color choices. I feel like the game could use more color and clarity. WDYT? #indiedev #indiegame

Ever played DoomRL (Doom: The Roguelike)? It's spiritual successor - Jupiter Hell - was called a "turn-based triumph" by @screenrant.bsky.social and placed 2nd on @gamerant.bsky.social list of top-10 roguelike dungeon-crawlers. Today it's launching on Nintendo Switch. Can't recommend it enough!

Kornel Kisielewicz@epyoncf.bsky.social · last yr.

Turn-based tactics that feel real-time, Brutal roguelike combat, Doomed moons of Jupiter, Shotguns, chainsaws, and demons... Jupiter Hell arrives on #NintendoSwitch tomorrow! Please repost and spread the word!

My good friend just revealed his new project on Steam. It's on the smaller side, but its worth noting - this is a new game from the man who brought you Blood West! Check out Bonehold on Steam, and consider wishlisting if you're into dungeon crawling and Heretic aesthetics! #indiedev #indiegame

Bonehold on Steam

Dungeon Crawler with elements of rouge-like and ARPG games. Kill hordes of enemies, duel mighty bosses, and acquire legendary loot!

The Sims Anniversary takes the top spot on new and trending on @steampowered.com. Notice the Birthday Bundle boasts a "Very Positive" review score with 160k+ reviews. What's in it? Free2Play The Sims 4 with 160k reviews and all of the paid products with very few ~50% mixed reviews. This is shady.

Five years ago to the day ELDERBORN launched in full on Steam. The game was prematurely shoved into Early Access by a publisher with whom Hyperstrange split before the full release. When I was leaving the Head of Publishing position at Hyperstrange last year, ELDERBORN was at 300 000+ copies sold.

ELDERBORN - Metal AF Slasher - available on Steam & GOG.com
