I need approximately 140 of you to wishlist my game to reach a significant milestone. Encryptid is an FMV horror game about hunting for cryptids featuring footage recorded via the Game Boy Camera. FEBURARY. PC & GAME BOY. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame 👇👇👇 WISHLIST NOW 👇👇👇

In today’s paper: an office worker opens a museum of lost pen caps. Over six hundred, found under desks and on trains. Bring your pen and see if anything fits. How many have you lost? #screenshotsaturday #indiegamedeveloper #indiegame #indiegames #IndieGameDev #indiedev #IndieDevs #gamedev

Well, well, well… after putting off getting a proper website for the game for years, it now even has its own domain: yataimaster.com #indiegamedeveloper #indiegame #indiegames #IndieGameDev #indiedev #IndieDevs #gamedev #gamedesign

One hand on the noodles, the other on the keyboard. Yatai Master finally has keyboard shortcuts! #screenshotsaturday #indiegamedeveloper #indiegame #indiegames #IndieGameDev #indiedev #IndieDevs #gamedev #gamedesign #gamedevelopment

This Halloween, I'm counting the monsters I've already defeated while developing Yatai Master. 175 bugs fixed. Some refuse to stay dead. Fellow indie devs, how many bugs have you buried during development? #IndieDev #GameDev #Halloween

I have a release date now: February 2027 (something I'm apparently supposed to start reminding everyone about from now on). store.steampowered.com/app/3831610/... #indiegamedeveloper #indiegame #indiegames #IndieGameDev #indiedev #IndieDevs #gamedev #gamedesign

Things aren’t going very well… Maybe cooking isn’t my thing? #screenshotsaturday #indiegamedeveloper #indiegame #indiegames #IndieGameDev #indiedev #IndieDevs #gamedev #gamedesign #gamedevelopment

Sometimes I just want to sit down and listen to blues, but no matter how many customers I kick out, they just keep coming in one after another. #gamedev #Japan #IndieDevs #indiegames

If Yatai Master doesn’t cook well, things get complicated… #gamedev #Japan #IndieDevs #indiegames

I don’t think anyone runs a yatai to become a millionaire. Maybe it’s about making people happy with good food. And good food starts with good ingredients. That’s why ingredient quality matters in Yatai Master. #indiedev #indiegame #game #japan

High School Hills: Dreams & Nightmares is a 2D pixel-art adventure where dreams and reality collide. Play as Bow, a teenager uncovering dark secrets after his mother vanishes, exploring a strange town and a dangerous dream world where nightmares come to life. #TeaseYaGame #indiegame

As the days go by, new markets appear, expanding the world around the yatai. #indiedev #indiegame #gamdev #japan

Well… that didn’t go as planned. 1-star disaster 😂 #indiedev #indiegame #gamdev #japan

A new panel shows finances: expenses, ingredients you buy most, best-selling dishes, and waste. Even small stalls have to deal with money to survive... #indiedev #indiegame #gamdev #japan

Ingredients now have small animations. Makes them easier to recognize (I hope). #indiedev #indiegame #gamdev #japan

We added a simple tutorial. Still a work in progress, but it helps new players get started. #indiedev #indiegame #gamdev #japan

I realized how tricky it is to score dish quality fairly. At first, it was just a 1-10 rating, but things got complex fast… oht.lol/redesigning-... #gamedev #games #japan #indiedev #indiegames

Working on the details: searching for that balance where the wood feels rough, and the fabric invites you to stay. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #indiegame #japan #cosygame

I share the latest updates on Yatai Master, from stock management to purchases, along with changes to the cooking process. Slow, but steady (I hope). oht.lol/the-road-to-... #indiedev #indiegame #gamdev #japan

Developing the dialogue for my game is proving to be more challenging than I expected, but Alexander M. Freed's guide has been a huge help in structuring it all. www.alexanderfreed.com/2014/09/02/b...

I introduce the new market feature in the game. Instead of a general store, players will explore specialized markets. This ties into the game's focus on discovering characters and stories that reward curiosity. oht.lol/the-quest-fo... #indiedev #indiegame #gamdev #japan

Finally got a chance to create a splash screen. Here it is for Yatai Master. #indiedev #indiegame #gamdev #japan

Working on the yatai’s opening routine, refining small details. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #indiegame #gamdev #japan

Yatai has a special way of connecting to the world around it—through small, everyday things like a newspaper, a radio, or even a TV. These little details have been on my mind while working on the game.🧵 oht.lol/on-the-eleme... #indiedev #indiegame #gamdev #japan

Not a fan of cooking, never been to Japan… yet here I am, diving into making a game about yatai! #gamedev #Japan #IndieDevs #indiegames
