Sometimes tiktok sends me notifications to offer 'content inspiration' and this time it was a phone recording of a clip from the new spiderman movie 👍 thanks

Testing shaders, I kind of love this even though more than half of the palette is missing lol. Is it too late to remake the whole game to work in monochrome? it would onl - (my wife hits me over the head with a piece of wood)
Game Dev Problem: Alien Desire Paths (Wishlist Tenebrarium on Steam!) #gamedev #indiegame
Feels a little gauche to post about numbers but I just hit 1k subs/follows on youtube, tiktok and instagram :) It's nice to know people are enjoying my silly little games
I accidentally (deliberately) made colonies self-destruct (Tenebrarium update on itchio) #gamedev #indiegame #simulators #itchio

I made a crab religion, it was a nightmare 👍 #gamedev #indiegame #crabs
Tenebrarium Trailer! Study an alien species and grow their colony to discover all their peculiar behaviours... Coming to Steam Q4 2026, Wishlist Now! #IndieGame #IndieDev
Made a trailer and press kit today instead of what I wanted to do, which was work on a new prototype called EEL WIZARD. I love video games
I made a mistake making "shiny" creatures in my game 👾 #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart
The aliens in my game now get 'ideas', which are processed by a Hivemind. I spent a very enjoyable evening making about 40 of these tiny, 4 frame, 4x4 animations. These were some of my favourites :) #ScreenshotSaturday #PixelArt #GameDev #IndieGame
Took a lot of inspiration from sci-fi films when making my alien colony simulator (Tenebrarium update, free on itchio) #gamedev #indiegame #scifi #aliens
Making some alien hiveminds for my colony simulator There is a reason for them leaving space to 'cradle' something in each corner 👀 #pixelart #gamedev #indiegame
A quick look at the 3 months of development of Tenebrarium, a simple colony simulator, which is now coming to steam 🦀 #indiegame #gamedev
Tenebrarium has a Steam page! It started as an experiment to see if I could make a simple colony simulator in a month, but after 2 months of weekly updates, people have been very keen for a full release. You can wishlist it right now! store.steampowered.com/app/4880410/... #gamedev #indiegame

Went to the museum of anthropology today and they had a bunch of african carvings which were described as, "initially made to sell to tourists, but some argue for their artistic merit", and it was just a bunch of guys sucking themselves off Unfortunately they got us, we really liked these
How I faked alien socialisation in my colony simulator 🐙🐙 (New Tenebrarium update, free on itch) #gamedev #indiegame #simulatorgame #itchio
Love inventing a weird guy to fix problems in my game 🐙 (Tenebrarium is free on itch) #gamedev #indiegame #devlog
This comment made me remake an entire system in my alien colony simulator 🦀 (Tenebrarium is free on itchio) #gamedev #devlog #gamedesign #indiegame
I fear I may be working on UI all week at this rate, here's my creature or whatever
Day 1 vs. Week 10 of making a creature colony simulator 🦀 I expected this to be a small thing I'd throw onto itch and move on, but people have really liked it, so here I am working on it still 🫡 #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev
Economists love my game now for some reason? (Tenebrarium free on itch) #gamedev #economics #indiegame
Using nature's oldest trick to fix my one-dimensional game 🦀 #devlog #indiegame #crabs #gamedev
It's incredibly satisfying to watch these little guys go 🦀 (Tenebrarium, free on itchio) #gamedev #indiegame #aliens
It is quite maddening to see people argue that their use of AI should be excused because they're an indie dev People have been making indie games for decades without this shit!!! Are you serious!!!
What if a virus was positive? This is a prototype of a virus-like system in Tenebrarium, playable for free on itchio #devlog #simulator #indiedev #itchio
