Some sort of loading screen... probably. I don't know yet, might also not use it at all
I'm working on a mini-game where you birth new creatures to inhabit your body. The creatures have both a true face (noisy static monstrosity) and a fake face (plastic toy nostalgia bait). #gamedev #IndieGame #ScreenshotSaturday
I'm on a mission to get better at sculpting in blender so I'm trying to make one random face every day. Seems like I can't conceive of anything else than some wonky toy insects
An ancient puzzle box, I made for The Abyssal Diplomat. It's not fully finished yet, but it's coming along. #gamedev #IndieGame #ScreenshotSaturday
The first trailer for The Abyssal Diplomat is done! In the game you play as an awkward puppet who specializes in conflict management between humans and monsters. Please repost and wishlist, it would mean a lot 🙏 store.steampowered.com/app/3946640/... #indiegames #gamedev
Finally got around to play Sudden Death. Highly recommended! dominoclub.itch.io/sudden-death Also all the games by @haraiva.bsky.social are great, some of the best writing out there imo
For those of you in Paris - I will be performing the French version of LANDLORDS at Jardin des Traverses this saturday (06.06) at 19:00!
I reworked the scene where the Diplomat is coming out of its hole. A bit darker, with more contrast and warmer colors. #indiegames #gamedev #IndieGame #ScreenshotSaturday
Working on a new scene - the "Court in the Sky" - for the finale of The Abyssal Diplomat.

#IndieGames is trending and I released one yesterday, so... This is Kuentame, it has top-down platforming, multi-stage boss fights, pre-rendered (and human-made) graphics, and lore™. store.steampowered.com/app/4222630/... apehardware.itch.io/0nc3up0n4t1m3 #GameDev #IndieDev #screenshotsaturday
I'm mostly posting about The House Before lately, but I'm still working on The Abyssal Diplomat. Its a game where you play as a puppet diplomat who mediates conflicts between the humans and the monsters. Reposts and Wishlists would help a lot! #indiegames #gamedev #IndieGame #ScreenshotSaturday
The Abyssal Diplomat on Steam
The humans and the monsters can't agree on what year it is, a conflict that threatens to tear apart their sense of shared reality. A mysterious creature is called upon to bring the two communities tog...

Here's a video of me performing at HAU in Berlin last March. The game is called LANDLORDS and is about... you guessed it... landlords. I will work on a new version in the next months and hopefully get to perform it again.
Finally got around playing "Game" by @joshuaroland.itch.io uaroland.itch.io and the "Yuha’s Nightmares" demo by @suprsupr.bsky.social Both are amazing, highly recommended!
Prototyping a new dialog - the eyes will be movable and used as a selection device
Still working on cutscenes for the House Before. This one reveals the true face of a cute character you encounter before. > store.steampowered.com/app/1779750/... #wishlistwednesday #indiegames #gamedev #blender
Some discarded Alien I made once. Its ship was a teleporting board game.
All the different UIs I tried for the hub world of The House Before over the years... I will never use those, so it's nice to at least dump them here. #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieGame #GameDev
