A Pocket Full of Slagford on Steam
Slagford. Some call it The Backbone of the North, most call it proper sh*te. This silly misadventure will take you up monolithic megatowers, down dingy dung pits and beyond. Puzzle your way across the...

Sharing some WIP footage of Chunk for #screenshotsatuday I finally wrapped up the block out for our VS, now on to smashing out a bunch of art! Everything is still in a WIP state but always keen on any feedback anyone has. #gamedev #leveldesign
Any #unrealengine lighting wizards around? I'm using a hidden emissive mesh to do a bit of lighting but I get these artifacts, they kind of look like DFAO but aren't. Any tips? I imagine I've missed an easy step.
Anyone have a handy ref sheet of brushes in Nomad Sculpt and their Zbrush equivalent? #nomadsculpt #zbrush #3d #gamedev
Any #unrealengine wizards know if there are shortcuts for these tools? Being able to extrude by holding down shift and dragging like in Maya would be great. Is there a way to insert edge based on a grid size? Any other tips to speed things up and not have to keep clicking buttons? #gamedev #UE5
Come and have a chat if you are in the area. Also doing a fair bit of nuthin till then if anyone is keen for a coffee.

Cheap robot murder the whole family can enjoy!

Recently been working on some screen and particle effects! Does anyone recognise that swoosh sound? #indiegames #VFX #screenshotsaturday
After upgrading to 5.6 in UE5, meshes created in engine no longer have collision turned on by default (Complex). Anyone know if there is a checkbox or something I need to hit to get it to turn collision on on creation? Not a big issue, just odd it added an extra step. #unrealengine #UE5 #gamedev
Been trying to add some more interesting combo attacks to CHUNK, man is it hard to make something that doesn't completely suck. Anyone have any tips for coming up with cool attack ideas? I often find myself trying and throwing away the same ideas over and over. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indie
What's a point & click game without cursors for pointing and clicking? Figured these should be pre-rendered sprites to fit with the crunchy 90s aesthetic - what do you think? #indiegame #b3d #retro
Last year I painted this piece of key art even though at that point the game was mostly just some ideas in a document. It's cool to get those ideas into something presentable you can show to people early. #gamedev #conceptart #adventuregames
Best in Show, not just a movie about dogs!
Broadside Games@broadsidegames.bsky.social · last yr.Yesterday we demoed our new game Chunk at the Queensland Games Festival and ended up receiving the Best in Show award! It was a really great day and we want to thank QLD Games fest and ScreenQLD for the event and the award!
If you've got nothing on, come on down to the QLD games fest! Keen to hear all the feedback!

Introducing the main character of our game! He's just a little fella who is excited to go out into the big world on his own for the first time and I'm sure nothing will go wrong and traumatise his small developing brain. #indiegame #gamedev #b3d
That's gotta hurt! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev
@closecallsports.bsky.social Any chance of a break down of the out at home in the bottom of the 10th for the Pirates Brewers game? Looked like the run was called off the path, but have seen similar plays be called safe in the past.
Anyone having issues rendering out objects in Sequencer in UE5.5? Transforms seem broken for me. I'll key in locations and the objects won't move in the render, they move correctly in the preview. Tried SK and SM and both act the same. #unrealengine #gamedev
Really good thread of lots of cool indie games. Really highlights how brutal the market is. Making a good or great game isn't enough to succeed.
Dominic Tarason@dominictarason.com · last yr.Let's show and tell your favourite underdog games! Below 500 Steam user-reviews. 100, even better! Link it and say why you love it! Copy Kitty is a dense, technical Treasure-inspired platform shooter with heart, and a fantastic NG+ mode that continues the story. It gets better the deeper you go.
Asterix on Netflix is a real treat. It has some really nice use of colour and some really creative art direction. Recommended it to everyone.
Anyone else getting a bunch of engine/gpu crashes in UE5 after the latest Nvidia driver? #gamedev #unrealengine
