It’s just a video game. You know what to do. #IndieGame #GameDev #Surreal
Testing the physics of the roots hanging from the platform. It’s kinda satisfying. #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGames
After watching a lot of people play the demo, I realized there’s a spectrum of ways people interact with things. From what I saw, these differences didn’t seem tied to any particular demographic. It’s so interesting, but it also makes designing new mechanics even more challenging. #GameDesign
My first Gamescom and my game’s first demo showcase! I met amazing people, watched them play and react, and talked with them about the game. Now I can say all the effort before and during Gamescom was worth it! #Gamescom2026
The box demands an umbilical connection. #IndieGame #IndieDev #GameDev
I’ve spent an unreasonable amount of time on these tiny procedural rod movements just to make fishing feel a little better. #IndieGame #IndieDev #FishingGame #WishlistWednesday
