What I noticed during Kenney Jam is that a lot of participants had issues putting together a 3D terrain quickly. So, I'll be releasing these modular terrain pieces soon. It'll allow you to slap together some models and create quick, low-poly terrain!

Day 3 of the GMTK jam has almost concluded! We made good progress today by finishing up the main 3D models for our game. Tomorrow will be spent texturing and assembling our final product. Here's what we have done so far! #GMTK #GMTK2026 #gamejam #indie #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev #gaming

Kenney Jam is really helpful for deciding which #gameassets to work on next, what's missing or could be improved. We've played all 600 games, and sent a questionnaire to everyone, last year the number 1 answer was skyboxes. That's fixed now of course!

Halfway through the GMTK jam and we have officially completed grayboxing the MVP for our game! We're back on our planned pace and making good progress. It's now time to start making some assets! Here's a peek at the game so far! #GMTK #GMTK2026 #gamejam #indie #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev #gaming

Day 2 of the GMTK jam has been a success! Not as much progress was made as we would have liked, but progress was made nonetheless. We might need to change up our scope a little bit, but that stuff happens sometimes. #GMTK #GMTK2026 #gamejam #indie #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev #gaming

Day 1 of the GMTK jam has come to an end. We made significant progress today. The game idea has been finalized, a design document has been written, and a roadmap has been set. Time to get a good night's rest. 85 hours remain. #GMTK #GMTK2026 #gamejam #indie #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev #gaming

We are sad to announce that we are further delaying the release of To Hell and Back and development is being put on pause temporarily. This is due to a few reasons. The reasons include burnout and external commitments, along with other things. This is not a cancellation! #gamedev #indiedev #indie

We are happy to announce that Satan's Stop is now our most downloaded jam game! The game is currently at 103 views and 29 downloads, beating our previous record of 66 views and 24 downloads from our 2020 #GTMK Jam submission. For being our first #gamejam submission in 4 years, this is a big success!
