Sometimes I make things out of wood, or even go outside, but mostly I make games Torchlights and Hob back at Runic. Currently making two games solo, because why is my brain like this My shmup Plasma Sky - demo Oct 2nd! s.team/a/4951340?utm_source=bsky
🆕🎮Plasma Sky is coming to Steam My 2013 shmup rebuilt for PC with a ton of new stuff! Weekly challenge gauntlet, friend leaderboards, score tracer, TATE and Steam Deck modes. It looks super pretty on deck! Demo Oct 2! Wishlist here: store.steampowered.com/app/4951340/... #shmup #indiedev #gamedev
Two concepts from the game I almost shipped are finalists for the Concept Art Awards! We had such great art for that game, and it played good too! That Star Bear could juuummmp. www.artstation.com/artwork/418roW www.artstation.com/artwork/2L8eQB www.conceptartassociation.com/caa-2026 #gamedev
Starbear > Star Lancers, Vinod Rams
The Starbear is a creature created by the evil god that resides in the planet, it is not a naturally occurring creature, rather an aberration that intrudes on the landscape. I uses brute force and it’...

Finally started playing Road Warden, really liking it. My character is definitely too nice and going to end up starving in the woods though.
It’s #ScreenshotSaturday in the indie gaming world, and we wanted to celebrate with a sweet Garden snap 🌱 Flame, Forest & Flood is a cozy strategy game, but you also get a sweet Garden of your own to customize & chill in! 🙇✨ store.steampowered.com/app/3096460/... #indiegaming #cozygame
I've made a lot of systems for "character wants to be near other character" but this is the only one I'm 100% happy with. In my shmup Plasma Sky your motion lines the wingmen up, or blocks a bullet as a last resort. Demo Oct 2. store.steampowered.com/app/4951340/... #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev
Progress on the plant table. My layout didn’t quite match my guide, but it won’t show so oh well. I’ll taper these legs later so they aren’t giant chonky blocks #woodworking #handtools
The new final boss (final final). It takes some liberties with the colour palette: the 'hairs' use a gradient that wouldn't be possible using my 16-colour palette. It's the final boss after all. Wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3584730/... #screenshotsaturday
I do not related to being bored. I have SO many things I love and want to do and never enough time to do it. Puzzles, games, baking and cooking, sewing, knitting, reading, etc etc etc... Overwhelmed? Yeah. Exhausted? Absolutely. Broke? Yup. Unmotivated? Sure. Bored? Never.
Disaster! Steam has leaked our chievos. Why will anybody collect all the baguettes if they know in advance they'll be rewarded? What if we think of better stupid puns at the last minute? Is it too late to pay the ransom? #gamedev
The fact that the most coherent AI shit still looks like it was overseen by someone with your dad's level of understanding of your hobbies feels like it says plenty about the motivation and end goal of any project like this
Everyone disturbed by Link looking moist are people with no imagination, no capability to fill in the blanks of the limited graphics of the time. He was always intended to be moist. I always imagined him moist. The boy is moist. Sorry you were left out of the moistness I always knew he posessed

I haven't beaten this week's Plasma Sky challenge run yet, but I'm learning its tricks. This try had a nice arc. Struggle, revenge and overwhelming power, decline and sacrifice, ignoble defeat. 🔊 Demo Oct 2nd! store.steampowered.com/app/4951340/... #gamedev #indiedev #shmup
Combat in Godscale is intense, a mix of blade strikes, destructive magic spells and use of tactical tools. Master the combos and leverage the environment to outsmart your foes. #Godscale #IndieGame #Gaming #ActionRPG #GameDev
Recently mentioned to @extentofthejam.bsky.social how primitive my text handling is, and this morning I realize I'm showing steam user names on the in game scoreboard. Oh noooooooooooo #gamedev
In honor of show season, here’s the entirety of the original Torchlight booth. Look at those fancy banners! I think we had to tear the perforated edges off them before hanging. #gamedev

This boss is Skybreaker! In this clip I'm definitely losing wingmen on purpose, like those mobile ads that try to make you feel smart. It's not because I'm getting older and worse at shmups. #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev
In my game you fight 1 Bazilion Bats to find the one who commited Tax Evasion. #indiegames #indiedev #steam
Holy crap, the jukebox in my head still knows what day of the week it is? Probably just coincidence

Somehow nailed it for me even though I only put in objectively correct answers. I’ve been wondering if I’m really from Idaho anymore but I guess that’s settled

Once in a while I remember that Japanese VTuber Inugami Korone (associated with HoloLive) played Hidden Folks for 9 hours imitating basically every sound, just laughing for the entire time. It was clipped a trillion times because it was sooooooo good. Here's one: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_2d...

Started working on this boss long, long ago. Now I'm finally going to finish it
Just finished Cobalt Core, it was dope and the finally was rad. Such fun writing!
Sometimes people will discuss why indie devs are slow compared to arcade GOATs and there's a lot of answers to this but I think one aspect ppl need to talk about more is that so many indies learn development a lot but barely get to apply it cuz theyre always moving to new shit they gotta learn
The new challenge mode got a lot more fun when I added the score tracer and tracker. They show current vs your best run per level, and also color code best for the level in any run. Shmup pros please tell me if there's a better setup! Would you want different info? 🔊 #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev
