Playing TTT on the Steam Deck has been really satisfying. Felt like it was a perfect opportunity to continue play testing while getting my car serviced 😎 #indieDev #gameDev #SteamDeck

#OZPlay2026 was incredible! Thank you everyone who came, and to those who played To The Trenches on PC/Steam Deck #rts #ww1 #indiedev #gameDev

@dadmadethings.com at GDC 2026! #JetBrainsForGameDev

At our current download rate, To The Trenches should hit 1 million total downloads while I'm at GDC! 🏆🥳 #indieDev #GameDev #iosGaming #androidGaming #GDC2026

Every now and then I think about the possibility of expanding To The Trenches to other platforms. Yeah there's Steam and Itch, but one that has recently caught my attention is @gx.games 🤔 #GameDev #indieGames #GameMaker #rts

I’ll be going to #GDC this March! Who else is going? #GameDev #indieDev

It's been a while since I last posted. It's only because the @dadmadethings.com team and I have been VERY busy working on Update 1.7 and our 🎃 2nd Halloween Event 🎃 for #ToTheTrenches! Here's a little photo dump of what's to come. #indieDev #gameDev #GameMaker #Halloween #mobileGaming #gaming #WW1

The team has really outdone themselves with this update. To The Trenches looks incredible with the enhanced Lighting and FX system. The new achievement system and career room lets players earn and showoff their accolades! 🎖️ Can't wait to see to see what people share! #indieDev #gameDev #GameMaker

Here's a working gif of the Drag-n-Drop system I posted about yesterday. #indieDev #gameDev

Replaced the spawner buttons with a Drag-n-Drop system. Was able to remove 5 objects with a much more maintainable and interactive process. #gameDev #indieDev #GameMaker

Developers! It’s #screenshotsaturday Share a screenshot for your game and it WILL* be in Debug #11 Let’s try to break a world record!

Made a first iteration mana + mana regen system. Now units cost per summon as well. I only had 30 minutes to work on this today, so it ain’t much, but it’s an honest feature 😅 #gameDev #indieDev #mobileDev

A little update to the goofy placeholders, and how I’m using them. 🧟 💀 #indieDev #gameDev #GameMaker #mobileGame #mobileDev

Little mobile prototype I made today to read #indieDev magazines by @debugmag.com Made with @flutter.dev #mobileDev #gameDev

Spent too much time making the Abomination placeholder and ran out of time in the day. I think the other placeholders will do for now as well 😅 #indieDev #gameDev

The beginning stages of something amazing? 🤔 #indieDev #GameDev @gamemaker.io @dadmadethings.com
