My game, The Portsmoor Abysm, now has a Swedish translation available: store.steampowered.com/news/app/402... This was a fairly substantial amount of work but means the game is now set up for translations where it previously was not. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #swedish #sweden #translation

Playing around with the work necessary for translating The Portsmoor Abysm to languages other than English. Swedish is hardly important since we generally speak English well, but it's the translation I can do myself to try this out. store.steampowered.com/app/4025180/ #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Two days into not working on my game every day, and so far I'm failing. Just released an update to yesterday's update. It has another new chamber, and tweaks to the one I introduced yesterday. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame
I just released a new version of my game, including the demo, continuing the trend of increasing the focus on puzzles over timing and execution. store.steampowered.com/news/app/402... #DemoMonday #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGame #PuzzleGame #BoulderDash #SteamDeck #SteamDemo #ThinkyGames

I've worked on The Portsmoor Abysm, a hobby project, essentially every day for 19 months. It's now a game I'm proud of, the game I imagined, and while there's still stuff I want to add, I'll try to step away from the "every day" part: store.steampowered.com/app/4025180 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Today I implemented a small text popup for when you try to interact with the storm drains that can be found in some chambers. Is there anyone who knows the reference? :-) store.steampowered.com/app/4025180/... #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieGame #IndieDev #GameDev #SteamDeck #PuzzleGame #BoulderDash
