Oh, #PitchYaGame is here too Threw together a quick compilation of my small indie game: Cull quest ☠️Gritty Zelda-like 🗺️Dungeon to explore ⚔️Several Challenging Bosses 🗝️Gear and Skills to find 🧩Puzzles All made by hand by one #solodev #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

"nobody asked for this" is such a non-argument. Nobody asked for the first installment of your oh-so-precious franchise either, but that seems to have worked out rather well, hasn't it, dingus? #gaming was a mistake lmao

It’s #PitchYaGame everyone! Otterly Lost is about a sea otter named Otto, where you can swim, dive, and explore both land and underwater 🦦 Meet charming animals, discover hidden places, use tools, and solve light challenges! #cozygames #indiegame

Hi #PitchYaGame! 🦖🧼Dino Cleanup is a wholesome “clean-a-thon” platformer where you play as a cute little dinosaur with a vacuum cleaner saving a world that has been covered in toxic goop. It’s like Mario Sunshine with a vacuum and a Paper Mario art style, plus dinosaurs! Wishlist on Steam!

For #pitchyagame: Nildigo is the best game I've made! Roguelite deck builder... thing, mixing ideas from Voltorb Flip, Minesweeper and Picross. Temporary and permanent powers and perks explode it wide open. Game's finished, we are pitching to publishers. PC & Switch! #gamedev #gamemaker #indiedev

Finally started the process of setting up a steam developer account. Turns out it's mostly tax bullshit.

You can turn into a Vampire even during the current content of the game, so I had to make Vampire versions of most events. To test them, I had to make a playable Vampire character. Didn't think there'd be an unlockable character before the demo but here we are 🤣 #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #ドット絵

Come join the final Sugar Shatter playtest this Saturday (June 6th)! It'll be a nice way to get a quick preview of the full game while helping me load test the online multiplayer :D #gamedev #indiegame #gaming Signup on the Steam page: store.steampowered.com/app/4275860/...

Enough redrawing for now! 😅 About time to get back to #gamedev! Currently redesigning the events for when you're seen as a creature of the Night. Don't yet have a playable character that is of the Night, but Rebecca can turn into Vampire mid run 🙃 NPCs will notice 💀 #indiedev #pixelart #ドット絵

Finally redid the capsule art for Sugar Shatter! Really happy with how it turned out, even though it took me 30 hours... #gamedev #indiegame

Development of #SpectralExpress is going fantastic, why do you ask? #IndieDev #GameDev #IndieGame #GameMaker

Don't think I've mentioned why there's a small hiatus in #SpectralExpress updates, but we've been packing for the move to our new house tomorrow. Not a lot of #GameDev time, haha. Will be back with more news in a couple days, once we figure out our internet at the new place!
