First successful network test. This is two separate instances of the game communicating via the internet. It's just an empty scene but I'm wiggin' out man it works! 🎉

Had to quickly make a 30 second version of the trailer for an event. It's punchy! #indiegame #trailer #gametrailer

This was a joke a week ago but tonight after a week of busting my chops non-stop I'm finally about to conduct the first network test for Bumper Bout tomorrow. Nervous and excited.

The highest bar there is. I have no problem recommending it to everyone I meet. Aussie grown too!

Solaire's steam page is finally live! This has been years in the making at this point and I could not be more proud of how far this game has come. I hope people are excited for what's in store! store.steampowered.com/app/4441110/...

I have occasionally had the suggestion for 4 player Bumper Bout and I've always been like no no one thing at a time it wouldnt fit I couldn't. This is a slippery slope.

Game dev secret, please don’t tell anyone. 🤫

I might need to tone the spotlights down for epilepsy reasons but here's a preview of the final ui rework for Piper's Psalm inputs :> #gamedev #indiedev #godot #solaire

From the mind of a wonderful soul we tragically lost today: seperate yourself from your profession. You are not X, you are someone who does X. RIP absolute legend. Pourin one out for ya.

Late night #gamedev fit check. PJ poncho. Time to go round up some SDF UI panels.

Such a great team and such a lovely charming game. The game gives me Delicious in Dungeon vibes with the quirky charm cranked up to 11. Wishlist this one if you haven't yet! #indiegame

Queensland Games Festival was one of the first places we EVER showed Dungeon Pizza! It was so special to come back a whole year later, after the game has grown so much. Thanks to everyone who came by to play and collect our little stamp for the rally!!! #gamedev #indiedev #queenslandgamesfestival

Big thanks to @jembawls.com who was the first person to stream Bumper Bout! Pretty wild watching someone play your labour of love on stream. Made it better that that someone was an old friend. ❤️

Factory was playable for the first time at QLD Games Fest. This level is complex but it was a hit. Players hit balls in to the spinners in the middle which charge their power bank, the conveyor at the top moves in the direction of the higher power delivering goodies. #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

Microsoft this week: We're laying off half the industry. Sony: We're ending physical games. Nintendo: have u seen this splatoon weapon we call it the bloblobber

Reassuring that early on I found the hard CPU too hard to beat 90% of the time, but as I become more familiar with the best strategy for each level It's become much closer. The game genuinely feels easy to pick up hard to master which I'm really proud of! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Bumper Bout won People's Choice Award at the Queensland Games Festival ❤️ very grateful

Go time!

This is Gambit, a turn-based strategy game inspired by Advance Wars that I've been working on for a few years. I'm excited to finally start sharing it. #IndieGame #GameDev #PixelArt

I've updated the default art for Redjack. (left old, right new) It better fits my new style and his more recent attack portrait. I really like it! He has so much charm and seems calm and bold at the same time. #indiegame #indiedev #art #characterart

The three day headache to get something complicated right is worth it when it all clicks together, you play it, and get that "omg it works" grin.

There's a fire at the factory! More details soon

My wishlists doubled overnight. Pretty shocked, then I did a bit of digging and found this. A prominent Japanese Twitter account tweeted about Bumper Bout! It's amazing, I'm so grateful and excited! x.com/i/status/206...
