Dot; protector of an ancient tree, from the lineage of Zal. Full animation brought to life in Unreal Engine. Still refining. Still growing. #GameDev #IndieGame #UnrealEngine #WIP

What secret did the first guardians uncover that allowed water to live in this barren desert? #IndieDev #GameDev #ScreenshotSaturday #UnrealEngine5

In this puzzle, it’s not about touching the water. It’s about reaching it the right way. #IndieDev #GameDev #ScreenshotSaturday

Dot, protector of an ancient tree, takes tiny steps… and the world quietly responds.🌱 #IndieDev #GameDev #WorkInProgress

A first glimpse of Sarv-e Abarkuh, with Dot — protector of an ancient tree. 🌱 #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieGame #GameDev

4 months passed. I stepped away to focus on the game. I’ll be sharing the journey over the next days 🌱 #GameDev #IndieDev #SarvEAbarkuh

Big problem: In the first 5 minutes, players don’t realize the main goal of bringing water to the Sarv-e Abarkuh. They only get it after a puzzle! How can I show this right from the start through gameplay? 🌱 #PlayTest #SarvEAbarkuh

Before code, before puzzles, there was only this sketch.🌱 #GameDev #SarvEAbarkuh

Game dev takes time. I looped Sword of the Sea’s music for days,an awesome experience on its own! It made me think: Mahsa… how should people experience Sarv-e Abarkuh? How will you share it with the world? #GameDev #SarvEAbarkuh #SwordOfTheSea

One of the core mechanics in our game is the water system We’re testing different techniques to see which one works best. It's still in progress but flowing forward. 🌱👾 #GameDev #IndieDev #SarvEAbarkuh

Game dev isn’t just design, code, and art. It’s also research, business, explaining the vision to others, and redefining it for yourself. 👾🌱 #GameDev #indiedev

•Worked on technical stuff today. It’s still messy… but it’s alive! #GameDev #SarvEAbarkuh

Not final. Not polished. Just roots learning how to grow. 🌱 #WIP #SarvEAbarkuh #GameDev

Spent today just thinking about puzzles. Do you prefer games that clearly show the path to the solution… or ones that let you wander until it finally clicks? #GameDev #SarvEAbarkuh

The root system is alive now 🌱 Still young, still messy, but growing, just like the game. Mistakes? Plenty. But for this stage, it feels enough. Isn't it? 👾 #GameDev #SarvEAbarkuh

I remember, right before a competition, one of our teammates burned out. The coach said: “Two days, no training, no even thinking about the sport. Then come back.” Two days later, they returned… with more hunger and focus. I think I need that too 🫡 #GameDev #RestIsImportant

NO ،big progress today. No big news. Just… still making the game. 👾🌱 #GameDev #SarvEAbarkuh

I’ve built several alternatives for the tree roots so far, and none of them feel quite right. I’m starting to get why some directors shoot a scene over and over… Like Chaplin did 342 takes for just one scene. 342!!! 👾🌱 #GameDev #SarvEAbarkuh

Water flows… now the roots awaken. Next step: bringing Sarv-e Abar-Kuh’s root system to life. 🌱👾 #GameDev #SarvEAbarkuh

Long ago, a single seed touched the earth… and life awoke.🌱👾 #GameDev #SarvEAbarkuh

As a game developer, I think more about irrigation and water systems than some of our officials ever have :))) #GameDev #SarvEAbarkuh

Did you know Da Vinci used 30 to 40 layers of paint and technique to create Mona Lisa’s smile? Layer by layer just to bring it to life. These days, as I build my game, I keep thinking about layers, too. The base is there. But I just hope life lets me add the ones still living in my head. #GameDev

Making a game feels like alchemy. A little design, a bit of art, a drop of sound… Mix them right, and maybe just maybe you get a beautiful "experience." We’re still mixing.👾🧪 #GameDev #SarvEAbarkuh

While the systems come together, the art of Sarv-e Abarkuh is slowly taking shape, too. Game development is like alchemy tiny parts, step by step, and come together to craft something beautiful.👾 #GameDev #IndieGame #SarvEAbarkuh #IndieDevs

Simple things… Who knows what they can become? Like a pawn in chess,powerless at first, but step by step, it grows. And one day, "if" it reaches far enough, it can become almost anything. In my game, this is my pawn. #IndieGameDev #GameDev

No new ideas today. No progress. Just repetition. #GameDev

The core game loop is built... but something still feels missing. That one thing that makes you say: “This is an indie game you just have to experience!” What is it? I don’t know yet… But I do know something’s missing :))) #IndieGame #GameDev #SarvEAbarkuh #IndieDev

Somewhere along the way, after working with talented teammates, I faced a tough decision: Should the project end? Or should it keep going, even if it means walking the road alone? Since March, I’ve been a solo developer. #SarvEAbarkuh #SoloDev #IndieGameDev

Sometimes, cleaning up a system matters more than adding features. It doesn’t need to be complex or “big.” Just needs to be "right. " The first messy Blueprint dropped FPS from 60 to 40! The new one? Same visuals, not a single frame lost. Just clean logic. #Optimization #GameDev #UnrealEngine5

After years of following and supporting #indiegames and #gamedev, it’s finally happening: Our game "Kernelbay" has a "Coming Soon" page on @steampowered.com and we're part of the Fishing Fest! 🎣 It would mean the world if you could wishlist & repost🙏 store.steampowered.com/app/3686480/...
