Hi everyone, how are you doing? I've got release date news. #AStandardDeviation will come out on the 26th of August! Also I've updated the demo with some more stuff to do. If you want to read more, Steam and itch announcements & update notes in the next post. #Puzzle #Adventure #MadeWithGodot

There isn't much time left before #AStandardDeviation, my game about physics bending #puzzles & #adventures, releases. Will do a proper release date announcement in the next days. In the meantime enjoy these not gameplay but trailer related clips. #ScreenshotSaturday #SoloDev #GameDev #MadeWithGodot

A secret room in #AStandardDeviation. Can't say much about it without spoiling :P Do you like the view on the ocean? Btw, to wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4438690/... #ScreenshotSaturday #Puzzle #AdventureGame #MadeWithGodot #SoloDev #GameDev

An older one this #ScreenshotSaturday. Partly to show how much the game changed and partly because last week too I've been working on laser and vfx stuff. The gif below showcases the telescope, an hidden item in #AStandardDeviation that allows you to get a quick look at far places. #AdventureGame

I wanted to add custom color palettes for a while and I guess this is a good month to do so :P Some palettes may make puzzles harder, But the color-blindness Phi assist is still there. And I guess it's better to have the option than not have it. #Pride #ScreenshotSaturday #SoloDev #MadeWithGodot

Today #AStandardDeviation reached 100 wishlists. Yippee! But #SteamNextFest goes on. If you want to give it a try here's the link to its page: store.steampowered.com/app/4438690

Found this mirror vfx in the trash (an old scene) and managed to sneak it into the demo for the Steam Next Fest. Oh yeah, A Standard Deviation will take part in the Next Fest that starts next monday! Play the demo and wishlist. #ScreenshotSaturday #SteamNextFest #Puzzle #IndieGame #MadeWithGodot

#PitchYaGame I present A Standard Deviation! Explore planet Crystal Archipelago, study its phenomena and solve puzzles alongside a colorful pirate crew. Study the effects of "diffraction", that split you, the wildlife and other things into colored components (color-blindness features incl.) Wishl

I made this shortform video for A Standard Deviation! What do you think? Is it catchy enough? And yes, you can actually play the demo of A Standard Deviation on itch in your browser (if supported) without downloading anything! #AStandardDeviation #IndieGame

Sabato scorso sono stato allo #Svilupparty a Bologna per far provare #AStandardDeviation. Ho ricevuto molti feedback utili e conosciuto molte persone interessanti! Grazie agli organizzatori per questo evento fantastico. 10/10, ci tornerei.

Hi everyone. I just released a new demo for A Standard Deviation on Steam and itch. You can also play the demo in your browser! Although with some broken shaders. I also wrote devlog post on with more info. You can read it here: essojadojef.itch.io/a-standard-d... #Puzzle #Adventure #IndieGame

New Demo for A Standard Deviation!

In February 2024 I started making a game for the Acerola Jam 0 . When the jam ended I was pretty happy with the little game I’ve made. I liked the characters I’ve come up, I saw potential in the m...

Working on the #AStandardDeviation demo for Steam and thought it would be cool to end it with a teaser montage thingy that would pique the player's curiosity. What do you think? #GameDev #SoloDev #ScreenshotSaturday #MadeWithGodot #AdventureGame

A Standard Deviation finally has a Steam page! Whishlist the game if you are interested in exploration, puzzles and space pirates: store.steampowered.com/app/4438690/...

Reworking some rooms of the Tower to give them a side view. Removing half of a degree of freedom eliminates the artificial difficulty that some testers found. But also reinforces the idea that the player is actually climbing to the top of the Tower. #AStandardDeviation #ScreenshotSaturday #SoloDev

These past holidays I've been refining some interactions and fixing some issues that came out of some recent playtests. A couple of those things are new sprites and vfxs for the items menu and radio. What do you think of them? #ScreenshotSaturday #AStandardDeviation #SoloDev #MadeWithGodot

This #ScreenshotSaturday I present the second playable character of #AStandardDeviation: Rougeanne, captain of the space-pirates. She is playable only for a small portion of the game but hopefully her unique toolset and more combat-oriented playstyle will make up for that. #AdventureGame #PixelArt

This week I've been working on some cutscenes for #AStandardDeviation. The campfire cutscenes will provide some downtime and humour and hopefully they will spark some curiosity towards the lore of the island and of the universe of the game. #ScreenshotSaturday #SoloDev #GameDev #MadeWithGodot

For today's #ScreenshotSaturday I want to show the dynamic environment that I've been working on lately for the rooms that contain laser puzzles. #Godot 's global shader parameters came in handy to manage the tiles palette. #SoloDev #GameDev

For today's #ScreenshotSaturday I'll show some tone-mapping changes I made to #AStandardDeviation. The core mechanic is that pretty much everything can be fragmented into colored copies. With this fragments should be easier to see. Here is a before and after of the changes. #GodotEngine #SoloDev

i worked with our director RJ to put together a web page compiling phone numbers, emails, and petitions where you can make your voice heard - protect queer artists and sex workers and tell payment processing companies to end their awful policies harming safe spaces for creative art

Protect Queer Creators and Sex Workers - Tell Visa / Mastercard / PayPal to STOP

credit cards shouldn't tell you what to buy. you're supposed to tell the credit card what to buy. thats the point i think

Man, Italian fascists are so funny: ""I'll campaign for people to not go to vote" -president of the Senate La Russa, talking about a referendum on worker rights and Italian citizenship. And these are the same guys who claim to have the 'mandate of the people'. Article in Italian

Referendum, La Russa: "Farò propaganda perché la gente resti a casa" - LaPresse

Cinque referendum abrogativi in Italia. Urne aperte domenica 8 (dalle 7 alle 23) e lunedì 9 giugno 2025 (dalle 7 alle 15) per esprimersi sui quesiti promossi

Lately I've been focusing more on things other than gameplay or #vfx. But today I have something worthy of a #ScreenshotSaturday. Some rooms have a diamond that interact with lasers, making objects in the room appear or disappear. #AStandardDeviation #GameDev #SoloDev #MadeWithGodot

As a fellow european, I hope everyone in #Germany goes to #vote today. No party wants a coalition with afd. So any vote you cast, whether it is for a party you like or for the party you least dislike, is a vote against nazism. #BTW25 #BTW2025

Hm, haven't posted in a while. I made some enemies for the shoot 'em up section although it is mainly for fast travel. #ScreenshotSaturday #Shmup #ShootEmUp #AdventureGame #SoloDev #GameDev

First #ScreenshotSaturday here on bluesky. This week I've worked on some enemies and interactions for A Standard Deviation. The net is an unlock-able item that can be used to move objects or creatures that the player can't push. #AStandardDeviation #SoloDev #GameDev #MadeWithGodot

Last year, inspired by Alpharad Gold, I started keeping a diary of the games I play. In 2024 I've played 50 different games. The majority, 36, are submissions to the Acerola Jam 0. There were many great games submitted, one that stuck with me is Annihilation Party.

Hello bluesky, I'm an aspiring #indiedev. For a while I've been posting on mastodon (mastodon.gamedev.place/deck/@essoja...) but I'd like to start posting here too. I'm currently working on an adventure game called A Standard Deviation. #introduction #solodev #gamedev
