I joked on Reddit that someone should make a cooking roguelike. One of my close friends, who owned a bakery in Barcelona, passed away in 2024. I imagined a game featuring him but I can't come up with gameplay. Something like Isaac but gathering ingredients? What do you think? #gamedev #indiedev

An older idea was to borrow Tarzan (PS1) with faster gameplay from DKC. I'd base it in Vietnam during the war and feature both jungle and battlefield areas. The animals living there are fascinating. It would be 2.5d with modern graphics. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Basically Pepsi Man but you're an Eastern European man running away from hazards. There would be a rear view mirror kind of thing and fast-paced action, with very tight controls. The soundtrack would be speed metal but played on traditional slavic instruments like the balalaika. #gamedev #indiedev

News time! 🚨 On August 9th our Steam version will transform to become BIG HOPS TOGETHER. - Play the full adventure ONLINE with 8 players - Pick up and throw your friends - Tongue swing from other players - Steal items from each other's backpacks - Story and collection progress is shared

I was playing Kirby and the Forgotten Land and thought Wario Land needs the same kind of treatment and it would be glorious! A proper game made by Nintendo and not a third party like the GC, Wii and DS games. #nintendo #warioland #videogame #gameboy

I could be close to replacing my computer with something more apt for gamedev. Right now I have this: Intel Core i3-4030U 1.9 Ghz dual core / quad thread 8 GB 1TB SSD Intel HD Graphics 4400

Don't know whether to watch Obsession or not. I don't really like horror but I'm watching it from time to time to see if anything clicks with me. Backrooms was good. Longlegs and Black Phone were bad. #films #horrorfilm #horror

I can't believe I can actually type this... As of today, Constance has sold over 100,000 units across all platforms!!!💜💜💜 One hundred thousand thanks, everyone!🙏

Made some Pokemon pixel art for another DYKG YouTube thumbnail

Several of my stories happen in 'toy view'. It's a perspective that fascinates me. Has anyone played It Takes Two? I feel like it could already have all the puzzles that I would have implemented. #gamedev

There's a bunch of indie horror, platformers, 3d platformers, metroidvanias, roguelikes... But does anyone know good third person shooters? Something like GOW, Uncharted but on smaller indie scope? #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers

There's several documentaries about super successful games that are in the 1% of all indie games. This one made 800k€ just on PC as a solo dev game. I think we should talk more about failure and understand why it happens. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

As a very late adopter, I'm currently enjoying the Switch. How do you port Godot games to it? Do you either need an expensive dev kit or hire a porting studio/publisher? No other way around? #indiedev #indiegames #nintendoswitch #godot

I live near the sea and the heatwave has hit us hard. It's 31ºC during the day with 75% humidity. Has anyone made an indie game about extreme heat or the desert?

Played this the other day. Great game. The animation reminds me of Ren & Stimpy and the gameplay is similar to Wario Land 4.

www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro... The game is currently 25% off on Switch!

I played this on Switch the other day. Very interesting combination of skateboarding and 2.5d platforming.

Couldn't be more proud to announce that Seafrog is NOW AVAILABLE on the Nintendo Switch 1 & 2! Thank you @grumpyface.bsky.social for making this happen ❤️

Kinda rushed but I rly wanted to get something out for today specifically so here's some wallpapers based on SM64's cartridge art :3

Constance surprised me. It's a metroidvania like Hollow Knight. Very fun gameplay and it has pleasant graphics. When it was announced I thought it would be borrowing from Celeste, but I was wrong. It's a different kind of game with its own flavour. @constancegame.bsky.social #indiedev #indiegame

I have no budget to hire anyone except myself, so I thought that I could use copyright-free classical music recordings in the game. One of my favourite composers is Tchaikovsky and he has enough tunes to set the mood. #gamedev #indiedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uofv...

The easiest game I could make is a 2d platformer about the little Korean girl but the original story doesn't match the visual tone. Could I release a cozy game with uncomfortable plot? The original story is very sad, but I like very intense stories. #gamedev #indiedev

I saw and enjoyed The Backrooms (2026). My buddy was sighing during the whole thing because he didn't understand. I made my own theories about things and it's one of the more fun aspects of it. I also watched the series before the film. The film can be watched alone. #film #films #backrooms #cine

New game from the creator of Hypogea. Seems to have the same great inter-generational PS2 atmosphere, but from the movement I'd wish the character had more weight. In the previous game the staff controls the pace, which pleases me. It's a complaint I have with many other games.

Alright, it's that time again... Introducing NETHERSPIRE! A short 3D Metroidvania where you explore, platform and fight your way through the ruins of a colossal tower, and try to protect its ancient vault! 👇Wishlist it right here! s.team/a/4712470 #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

Haven't posted much over here. I adopted this lady on 23rd of april. She is super kind and mischievous. Right now sleeping on the mat inside the bathtub next to her toy. I can't judge her. #cat #kitten #siamesecat #siamese #pet

twitch.tv/hby_stuff Going LIVE to make another entry for this Nausicaa mockup series.

Aside from game stories, I also started writing the premise for a horror film based on local folklore. I had abandoned the idea for a few months, until I suddenly came up with the main structure. It started as a joke with a friend. The meme must live on. #film #horror #terror #cinema #cinephile

I'm a very inexperienced player, so reaching this point after a long half an hour, and no accesibility options, felt quite amazing. After some medication change, I feel my brain is now wired for 'repeat without frustrations' which is what this game and many others need. #celeste #indiegame #indie

Had the pleasure to try Soda-Powered Penguin. It's a very stylish Maddyvania that combines Celeste and Wario Land with its own unique twists. This should be amazing on Switch. I recommend it. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev
