Has it ever happened to you? You’re building a game, it feels great, but then, after a two-week break, you come back to it and the spark is gone; all that’s left is sheer boredom. It gives you perspective, sure, but mostly it represents a lot of wasted time. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #gamestory

Just two more worlds to imagine and create, and I'll have the skeleton of my little game finished. Of course, these aren't the final versions; I'll add more details during the polishing phase. I wanted to say thank you to everyone who follows me : you're awesome! #indiedev #gamedev

A dimension of its own today #indiedev #gamedesign #gamedev #indiegame

New design, one step at a time, I'm starting to learn how to structure a scene. It takes time, but I'm getting there at my own pace. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #gamedesign

From now on, all Patreon articles will be written in English and will also be available as audio in both French and English. I’ll do my best not to make your ears bleed, my English-speaking friends 😅 #gamedev #news #indiedev #patreon #indiegame #community

There's my terrible accent, and my English reading hit. You can listen to the article already posted now in French and English or read it if you prefer. Give me some time to learn to speak your language better. #indiedev #indiegame #audio #gamedev meary-studio.com/posts/new-bi...

I'm willing to make an effort. I'll start with short articles to test out doing both English and French audio, but it will surely be imperfect, I warn you, my spoken English is... terrible. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev Would you be interested in giving it a try ? meary-studio.com

A new little drawing, I wanted to try playing around with "light", and well, it’s not as simple as it looks. Otherwise, just a fairly basic underground cell 🙃 #gamedesign #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

So, I've found the VST plugins for piano, violin, and cello. Now all I have to do is learn how to create proper music in LMMS to make the audio for The Doorbearer (I have no ideas 🤔) #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #audio

Bluesky really is a social network in a league of its own. I would have expected more engagement on X, but strangely enough, I get the most here when it comes to game development. Honestly, though, I prefer it this way, the atmosphere here is much more peaceful and friendly #bluesky #social #gamedev

A new illustration, in a slightly more Gothic style. I tried to lean a bit towards the Tim Burton style from The Nightmare Before Christmas for the house and the sky. Dites moi ce que vous en pensez :-) #gamedesign #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

As a French solo developer, I write most of Meary Studio’s content in English to reach a wider audience. I’m thinking of adding French audio versions to Studio Snapshots, Game Dev Talks and others : read in English, listen in French. Vous seriez intéressés ? 🤔 #indiegame #patreon #french

Right now I'm focusing on design and learning how to create environments. I think the hardest part is figuring out how to convey the emotion of a place through color and visual representation. It's not so easy. I'm working on a new design; you can tell me about it tomorrow. #gamedesign #indiedev

AI as a Conductor I don't see AI as a replacement for creativity I see it as another voice around the table one that questions, challenges and helps organize ideas while the creative decisions remain human meary-studio.com/posts/gdt-08... 📖 Available for all Patreon members #indiedev #indiegame

I’m considering adding short audio versions to future Studio Snapshots The audio would be recorded in French, so I can speak naturally and comfortably, while a complete English written version would remain available in every post Would you be interested in this format? #indiedev #patreon #gamedev

I'm not saying I'll never work on a game that lasts between 30 minutes and 2 hours, because I have a big project I'm still working on, at least on paper. But for now, I prefer my small, emotionally charged creations. #gamedev #indiegame #solodev

The latest illustration I've created. I'm starting to get a better grasp of using layers and depth, though I haven't quite mastered the details yet ; but that will come. #indiedev #gamedesign #gamedev #affinity

I like the idea of ​​going against the grain. Most indie developers aim for a hit game that often ends up in limbo (I know that feeling now). That’s why it’s satisfying to make short video games—lasting 5 to 15 minutes—where there’s no room for the superfluous. #indiedev #gamedev #gamedesign

I'm back, in Devlog 02, I talk about learning environment design, exploring sound with LMMS, and building a game with the tools I can afford. Join Patreon for free to read it: meary-studio.com/posts/devlog... #GameDev #IndieDev #indiegame #SoundDesign #gamedesign
