Saunagon Escape is now fully playable from start to finish! Over 1000 cups of coffee later, all that's left is polishing some pixel art and adding the last SFX. Next stop: Steam 🎮 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot #pixelart

Love how small details and sound effects always add so much life to a game! #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot #pixelart

Fine tuning my starting level in KAUNA. More gloomier and eerier than before. Wishlist KAUNA: store.steampowered.com/app/3582660/... #screenshotsaturday #godotengine #gamedev #boomershooter

What happens if you shut down a game mid-save? Ask 10yo me, who lost 30+ hrs of FF9 to a lightning strike! Refactored my game's SaveManager this week: writes a temp file, swaps it in once done, keeps old save as backup. Worst case: minutes lost, not everything. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot

Saunagon Escape is now playable from start to finish, yay! Time to polish. Fun fact: roughly 900 cups of coffee went into making it. Though it's only ~1hr long, a lot of work went into the systems: 7 rooms, inventory, save/config managers, and more. #gamedev #solodev #godot #indiedev #pixelart

Main Menu is starting to look like something! #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #godot #pixelart

Had two close ones playtest Saunagon Escape earlier this week. About an hour of gameplay, and loads of great feedback on the puzzles and setting. Watching someone else play your game for the first time is something special. Back to polishing! ✨ #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #godot #pixelart

Went outside to record some SFX on ice at −22°C. Got a few good ones for my game, and also frozen fingers 😂 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Wish it was as snowy outside as in my game's Outdoor Pool area ☃️ #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #pixelart #godot

Working on the 2nd version of my game's title screen image. Really happy how this is turning out! 😎 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #pixelart #godot

All 7 rooms are now in place, phew! What started as one sauna grew into a bigger complex with even outside areas. I still need to create and draw a couple of puzzles (plus menus and intro and endings...!), but it's starting to feel closer to done. 🔥 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot #pixelart

Today marks 3 years since I published my first mobile game on Google Play. It's a humorous, endless beer runner. I made it with Godot 3. It's been downloaded only a few hundred times, but played thousands of times, which I'm happy about! play.google.com/store/apps/d... #gamedev #godot #indiedev

Every sip of coffee makes this poster creep a little closer into my game world. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #pixelart #godot

Room by room, pixel by pixel... The escape sauna is coming together. 4 rooms in, about 60% done I think, and it’s starting to feel real. To all other devs: keep on keeping on! 🔥 #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #godot #pixelart

The vending machine hums quietly in the Locker Room. It wants something you don’t have, yet. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #godot #pixelart

Built a huge inventory script weeks ago. It works. I fear it. And now I must return… for one small feature. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot

Ngl, after finishing my game's room 3 I hit the brakes. I didn’t know what puzzles came next or how the story would end, and that drained my motivation. Went back to my GDD, designed the path, and now I'm hyped to build again. Well designed is half done. ✨ #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot

Wake up, sheeple! My debut game Flocking Hell IS NOW ON STEAM! 🥳🥳🥳 store.steampowered.com/app/3236280/... Flocking Hell is a deeply strategic roguelite where you defend your pasture from demonic invasion 🐑😈 Now go! It’s time to join the flock ;) #IndieGame #TurnBased #Strategy #Roguelite

In January my goal was to work on my game every single day and get some bigger features done, such as save/load game and room change functionality. Got all this done and some more, yay! In February I'm building the second room 🧩✨ #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot #pixelart

Changed my game’s resolution from 320x180 to 256x192, and somehow everything feels better! Gotta reposition the room selection buttons somewhere next :] 🧩 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot #pixelart

Created some room selection art for the left side of the UI, will animate them later. Not sure about the final UI structure yet, but we'll see. So much space horizontally with 320 x 180! 🌌 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot #pixelart

Yuss, I got an automatic save & load implemented into my game! It was 10x easier in Godot than I expected. Now, every time player makes an action or picks up an item, it gets saved 😁 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot #pixelart

Diving into Save & Load mechanics today! Last time I tackled this was two years ago, and apparently my brain didn’t save the process either. Time to do some relearning! 📚 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot

Been adding room change functionality under the hood and also improved code for all sorts of tricky game testing! ✨ The first room is nearly finished, only some SFX recording remains. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #pixelart #godotengine

First version of my game's title screen image. Planning to animate the clouds, smoke and snow! ❄️ #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #pixelart #godotengine

When you add a cool new feature... And see something major breaks in the background. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Goal for January: Get the Sauna room finished! 🛠️ This means polishing pixels and recording SFX, and yes, maybe taking a mic into the sauna. The things we do for game dev. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #godotengine #pixelart
