The first demo for Cult of PiN went up on @itch.io on 20th Aug 2024, almost exactly two years ago. Here's a few grabs I found of the first table as it progressed. A MASSIVE thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way. Only 23 days to go! #indiedev #solodev #pinball #gamedev

Demo v0.12.0 - Localisations & New Spells

Hi all, It’s been a hectic few weeks but I'm fairly confident that as of now, Cult of PiN is effectively feature complete! For the next couple of month up until launch it should just now be a consta.....

Endless mode gets a bit… wild after a while. maybe time for a balance pass. #indiedev #pinball #gamedev #roguelike

Fans of pinball + languages other than english are hopefully in for a pleasant surprise in the next update #gamedev #pinball #pcgaming #indiedev

I wasn't feeling the best mentally this morning, but after playing Beyond the Plastic Wall (Motvind Studios/@arteinteractive.bsky.social), Dungeon Hotpot (Renala Games), and Cult of PiN (@kennymakesgames.bsky.social) I'm in SUCH a better place.

More Boss Spells/Shader work tonight: chains that pull balls back towards the drain if they get too far. #pinball #indiedev #gamedev #roguelike

Ended up working on a shader that only shows the area directly around an active ball, will likely be a boss spell/debuff in the next build #pinball #indiedev #gamedev #roguelike

New trailer time! Finally got the time to piece together some clips of the new content and replace the almost 12-month old trailer that was up on steam. This is just a short teaser trailer for now, the full vid & launch date will be revealed soon... #gamedev #indiedev #pinball #roguelike

A quick demo patch is now live with fixes for some of the recently reported bugs - read more here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/314... Or just go check out the demo on #Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/3144340 #indiegames #gamedev #pinball #roguelike

Another patch out this week thanks to some great community suggestions - v0.11.15 is now live on Steam and @itch.io Steam : store.steampowered.com/app/3144340 Itch: kennymakesgames.itch.io/pin Discord: discord.com/invite/DpUGd... #indiegames #pinball #steam #roguelike

It's been waaay longer than I'd have liked since my last update, however I'm back with a new demo update, alongside some release date news for Cult of PiN. steamcommunity.com/app/3144340/... #gamedev #pinball #roguelike #indiedev

New screenshots going up on Steam, with a new trailer to follow in a week or so, shortly followed by release date announcement. Big fun scary times ahead. #pinball #solodev #indiedev #roguelike #steamdeck

Simple command to check the number of commits on the main branch of your project in git terminal: git rev-list --count HEAD Utterly useless, yet wierdly interesting stat. 1026 commits after 18 months of work. Would love to know what other #solodev folk are at? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev

Table 3 coming along nicely. Tbh after months of pretty much exclusively programming it feels great to be making pretty-looking weird stuff again. #indiegames #indiegamedev #pinball

After 316 reviews on @itch.io, I got what I believe is my first 1-star. Proud to have made it this far but if you're going to do this please, PLEASE god leave some kind of feedback - without it I have absolutely no idea what to improve to make it a 2+ Star game🤷‍♂️ #indiegamedev #gamedev #solodev

Following on from yesterday's day of polish, here's some beauty shots of Tables 1, 2 and 3. Table 3 is still very WIP but getting there, and soon will be moving onto move onto the final table! I'm so.. damn.. close!! #indiegames #gamedev #pinball

Working on the second table boss this #ScreenshotSaturday - adding infra for spell-like abilities for the bosses since - as hard as they are - they were all still a *bit* samey. Polishing the visuals. Feedback welcome! #gamedev #indeigames #pinball

I'm embracing the upper-management side of being a #solodev by using barely-legible red pen to criticise the work I did in the past while giving future-me a load of extra work that really I don't have bandwidth for. All while using the word 'bandwidth' - nailed it. #indiedev #gamedev #pinball

Not an in-game grab for #ScreenshotSaturday, instead a WIP of the revised playfield art for the third table. I swear this will all make sense when I can show off the whole damn thing. Almost there. #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #pinball

I keep updating the game and forgetting to post here (or anywhere really) but this time I'm all over it - Boss Timers, Ritual progression and other fun stuff in v0.10.0 #gamedev #indiedev #pinball #roguelike store.steampowered.com/news/app/314...

Cult of PiN - Major Demo Update: v0.10.0 is Live - Steam News

Rituals, Boss Timers, and big physics changes. I’ve overhauled the flow and added some polish, juice and other improvements.

Not something I've got much experience in so it's likely an utter shambles, but after a number of requests I've finally setup a Discord server for CoP - not sure it'll ever have more than 10 members but if you feel like being one of them: discord.gg/DHK2SPes #indiegames #indiegamedev #indiegaming

This gave me all the feels right here - and exactly why I want to just keep making games forever! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegames

Ok, finally got the Demo update over the line. Check out the giant tentacle-related changes in v0.9.21 here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/314... #indiegames #gamedev #steam #pinball

Planned on having a major update out yesterday, however I found a nasty bug in testing that needs addressed ASAP. However, with work today and going to see Offspring tonight, ‘ASAP’ is now tomorrow at the earliest. Will post once it’s done. #gamedev #gaming #indiegamedev #indiedev
