Prepping Game 2 design doc for pitching. Remember you can't overprepare these things. Make sure you illustrate every detail.

We made it into the Steam Deck Builders Festival this year! Who needs cards to build a deck, dice bags are much nicer. #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev #steam

We made it on to New & Trending. We actually did the thing

Just Joel and I's game on the front page of Steam no big deal (actually it is a big deal its half off) #gamedev #indiegames #developers

Made a video just talking about how vital a Demo has proven and why & how that is! www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRAm... #gamedev #gaming #indiedev #indiegames

With Steam Next Fest kicking off tomorrow, our Demo Build for the festival is now live on Steam - if you haven't yet, it's a great time to Wishlist the game (link below). It's no commitment, and helps us out tremendously! store.steampowered.com/app/3435260/... #gamedev #IndieGameDev #SteamNextFest

Demo is live! Very proud to announce you can now play a slice of our upcoming dice-building roguelite "Dice With Death". The Alpha playtest is free & available as a demo on Steam (link below) #gamedev #indiegames #SteamNextFest #gaming

Asking here to try and hide from the twitter bots 😅 If anyone knows a freelancer / is one themselves who specialises in stylized Niagara effects in UE5 please get them to send me a portfolio or reel. Looking for relic activation effects in game. So simple effects but dozens! #gamedev #indiedev

There is no sign more encouraging than when you are QAing your game and realise you are actually enjoying playing. Might sound weird, but anyone who works in dev knows with how much you spend staring at the client, it's hard to see it as a game at times.

Been posting some insights into our character designs over on TikTok, would love any fellow devs to follow so I can follow you back! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames www.tiktok.com/@seaglassgam...

Decided to start some some short form content talking about the realities of making games! Started out answering the #1 question I get asked. If anyone has good ideas for topics let me steal them uh i mean suggest them to me! #Gamedev #Indiegames #gaming #indiedev www.youtube.com/shorts/tn10L...

Extremely happy to show what we have been creating in my indie studio Sea Glass for the last 4 months! Our "Coming Soon" Steam page is now live for Wishlists, very (read: very) early and with plenty subject to change / improvement, I'm proud to show you all! Link in reply. #GameDev #IndieDev

The primal fear when you finally get your Steam Page published in a WIP / early state just to work on live changes and you wake up to 50+ wishlists without you mentioning it or sending it to anyone

Making games is pretty cool sometimes I guess. Reconstructing / parallaxing a piece by the incredibly talented @carsondrewit.bsky.social (we'll show you it properly soon!) #IndieGames #GameDev #GameArt #PixelArt

For anyone: Games look silly and "bad" often right up until the finishing phases putting together their true release builds. Here's what my current dev version of Dice with Death looks like with grey boxes and placeholders. Don't get put off by not starting at the finish line. #GameDev #IndieDev

When you really need a break from categorizing our SFX archive #IndieDev #GameDev #Developers

The Soldier's portrait from Dice with Death! His unique passive summons reinforcements (dice) to the battle (uh, bowl) when you roll duplicates! If you like the sound of rolling 20 dice instead of 6, he's the one for you. Art by the ever talented @mopmey.bsky.social #GameDev #GameArt #IndieGames

Posting updates and peeks at Dice With Death more in January - thanks for all the new follows! We've been hard at work on the feel of the game mechanically and aesthetically. Here's some item design we're doing! Our artist Meeral taking a very liberal approach to a "Heart Locket" #GameDev #GameArt

The Witch! One of our playable characters in Dice With Death. She summons her Familiar dice to replace those you Bank, giving her some solid staying power in a round. We designed her aesthetic using Celtic history and hedge magic - art by awesome @mopmey.bsky.social #IndieDev #GameDev #GameArt

Games Journalism is getting a lot of brutal attacks these days for reviews, but this is a symptom of a long term self-inflicted problem. But it's not the problem people think. It's score inflation. How are journalists meant to give nuanced scores in a world where 7 = Bad, 8 = Good and 9 = Great?

Classes in Dice With Death are the departed, their core mechanics related to who they were & how they died. This is the Healer, fallen to the plague she spent her life treating. For people who love poisons and status effects she's a fun one! WIP Art by @mopmey.bsky.social #GameDev #IndieGames
