Soulfused just reached 500 wishes!🎉 For what's basically a solo/hobby/passion/side-project, that's an incredible feeling! Thank you so much everyone who helped me get this far! And in case you didn't wishlist it yet, here's the link! 😉 s.team/a/3919240/ #GameDev #IndieGame #MadeWithUnity #Steam

Still rediscovering "new" forgotten/lost projects in my attempt at gathering every game project I've worked on. Big or small, everything I find go on ludo.abrevik.net Just came across this pic from Ludum Dare 48 in 2014! Proof that not all game jam game titles are created equal 😅 #GameDev #GameJam

GitLab pages are neat! Why have I never considered those for hosting things before...?

A recent laptop update sent me down a rabbit hole I was not prepared for. Over several weeks, whenever the baby slept, I've been organizing my digital life. Old projects, photos, and dreams... Anything I could find, really. I even wrote a blog post about it: blog.abrevik.net/posts/digita...

Making branching dialogs is fun! Testing them and making sure all the paths work as intended is less so... 😅 #GameDev #IndieGame #MadeWithUnity

The baby is still too young to be speaking, let alone read. But we already have a small library of baby books! This is one of the "My first words"-book and it bothers me more than it should that the pieces in the image for "puzzle" clearly do not fit together... 😅 #dadlife

As the baby has gradually started trying more and more food, we've gotten more and more bibs. Some of them we've bought ourselves, some have been gifted. We have so many bibs now it almost feels biblical! #dadjokes #dadlife (I'm a dad now. I'm allowed to make these jokes 😬)

I'm lying to myself. 😬 I have a milestone in my board which I've called "Future". It has anything from "temporary" hacks to random ideas. On some level I know I 'll never get to them, but don't tell me that. I won't believe you. Putting them in writing gets them out of my head. #GameDev #IndieGame

Testing the corruption levels! It has five stages, from Unreadable to Uncorrupted. Of course, no essential information will be hidden behind the first two levels 😉 The glitching and jumping letters can also be turned off in the game settings. #gamedev #indiegames

The more of the "corrupted dialog" I moved into the game, the less happy I became with how it felt when it glitched. So tonight I've enjoyed revisiting that! Sometimes I feel like I'm just looking for any reason I can find to keep delaying the boring parts of what is left... 😬 #GameDev #IndieGame

Another thing that kinda just stopped happening towards the end of last year was me going for runs. Happy to say I've dug out my #running shoes again! Feeling good to be getting back into it, though I have a lot of catching up to do! 🏃

If you've played the Soulfused demo, you'll know that another entity will be joining you. This entity will try to reach out to you during the story and I've spent today adding these interactions across the game! Wishlist Soulfused now! s.team/a/3919240/ #IndieGames #WishlistWednesday #GameDev

Quick #Steam question for the #IndieGame and #GameDev crowd! How do you deal with demo patch notes? The demo is parented under the (unreleased) main game and therefore doesn't have its own events. When creating a patch notes event for the main game, I can't link it to a demo build.

There's a small "bug" in Soulfused that would only affect players who purposefully try to break the game, and even then it doesnt really break it... Instead of fixing it, I'm thinking I'll trigger an easter egg when it happens. Maybe even an achievement? 😅 #GameDev #IndieGame #ItsAFeatureNotABug

I'm back on the hunt for hidden gems by playing through 6 more obscure Steam indie games. To all the indie developers out there: looking for someone to play your game? Leave a reply and tell me about your game! #IndieGameDev #VideoGames #Indie #IndieDev www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lS5...

Just pushed the updated demo build for Soulfused onto Steam and Itch! 🎉 With a little luck, I should be just about ready for Cyberpunk Fest now! Check it out and click the wishlist button maybe? 😉 store.steampowered.com/app/3919240/... #GameDev #IndieGame #MadeWithUnity #Steam #TextAdventure

With Cyberpunk fest next up, I'm again back with a new Soulfused devlog! See what I've been up to and get ready for a new demo here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/391... #GameDev #IndieGame #MadeWithUnity #Steam #TextAdventure

Haven't been on bsky much lately. It's been a hectic summer, travelling to visit relatives! And we're not quite done yet, still one more trip ahead of us! Everyone wants to meet our youngest family member 😊

I appealed and it got accepted! 🎉 Assuming the game still isn't fully released by then, would this be a good time to release a new and updated demo? #gamedev #indiegame #steam #MadeWithUnity #textadventure

Discovered a bug today. Easy to reproduce, annoying to fix. So now I'm sitting here debating with myself... "Does the game really need desks with multiple openable drawers, or would it be OK limit the desks to one drawer each?" #GameDev #IndieGame

So far, the two #ttrpg scenarios for #Dread I released for free/PWYW have reached 150 downloads combined. A few of those were even paid! The fact that anyone at all actually wants to read/play what I've written, let alone pay for it, is amazing. Thank you! legacy.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/3...

New devlog up! This time we're looking at the tools I've used in putting together the Soulfused narrative, the hit my motivation has taken trying to bring it into the game, and a potential solution. store.steampowered.com/news/app/391... #GameDev #IndieGame #MadeWithUnity #WishlistWednesday

I originally put my #Dread #ttrpg scenarios only on itch.io but I was recommended to also put them on drivethrurpg.com Disappointingly, they didn't have a Dread category, but at least they're there too now! www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher...

Ive been slowly releasing my #TTRPG scenarios and as of today I have made as much April as every other month combined! 🎉 Thats right, I just had my second paying customer ever! 😉 Which is actually a nice surprise since payment is optional and they're available for free: itch.io/c/7325529/dr...

Good news: I'm finally back in the level editor, which I've been avoiding for a while. Adding the content to the game is tedious work... Bad news: I'm editing the level editor more than the levels... I'll get there eventually, I'm sure 😅 #GameDev #IndieGame #MadeWithUnity #LevelEditor

Had a little time home alone today and it just happened to be sourdough feeding day. So I did the only reasonable thing and spent the time making pizza! #Teriyaki #sourdough #pizza with shredded nori!

Still looking for some #indiegames for the list, come tell me about your game! #IndieGameDev #VideoGames #Gaming

Hey #IndieGameDev, we feature obscure/unknown indie games on our show and we want to hear all about YOUR game for potential coverage! No keys, no charge, no catch. If we like the sound of your game we buy it, play it, and leave a Steam review for it. Let's see your games! #IndieDev #IndieGames

Those night vision baby cameras are super handy! But also a bit creepy whenever the baby just lies there quietly in the dark staring directly into the camera with wide open eyes...

Fun fact: Soulfused is not my first text adventure! In 2013 I created a text game inspired by the quote "You have to sign a piece of paper" for Molyjam. This was a Flash game in AS3. The source might be lost, but here's Raziel Igor playing it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-ei... #GameDev #IndieGames

An unexpected chat about an old project sent me into nostalgia mode and I spent my sleep deprived time rambling about it in a blog post. The first actual blog post I've written in years. Oh, and yes, I have a blog again now! blog.abrevik.net/posts/kg0001... #GameDesign #BoardGames #nostalgia

I'm just guessing here, but my phone charger might be experiencing some issues... 😬

I mentioned a few months ago that I was working on cleaning up some of my #ttrpg one-shots for #Dread to share. Well, I just got done with the second one! This one is actually the first scenario I ever wrote, though it's evolved through the years. Check it out here: confoxing.itch.io/cabin

Every single recipe for cloudberry jam I can find: Slowly heat the berries on medium until they reach the boiling point, then let them simmer for a short time. Every comment section on a cloudberry jam recipe: NOOO!!! Do not boil the cloudberries!!!

I've been neglecting my #running lately. I've already got tickets for a couple of upcoming running events later this year and I'm feeling behind. 😬 I need to get back to it but between work, baby and gamedev I'm not finding the energy. So far I've only ran once this year... 😓

A slightly different #screenshotsaturday this time. I've been using @sentry.io to find issues in the Soulfused demo and the number of unresolved issues just hit zero! 🎉 I should make another build soon so you can find new ways to break my game. 😉 Play the demo: s.team/a/3919240/ #GameDev #IndieGame

The Soulfused demo just hit 250 play sessions! 🎉 The 40% completion rate blows my mind! Granted, the demo isn't long, but still... Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go see if the easter eggs actually work 😬 Wishlist now: store.steampowered.com/app/3919240/... #GameDev #IndieGame #MadeWithUnity

Figured I'd try this on my own code to see if I'm an AI or not. Ouch...😬 Though this tool might claim otherwise, I can assure you all code is hand crafted with both love and frustration in more or less equal parts. 😅 And I have the git history to prove it! #GameDev #IndieGame #MadeWithUnity #NoAI

As someone doing game dev as a hobby alongside a full time job, I'm currently in the process of finishing up my first solo project for release. I'd be happy with a 4 and ecstatic if it went higher! 😅

Just created a #linkedin page for my one person game dev company. I even wrote a post and everything! I feel so official now 😅 #IndieGame #GameDev

Copenhagen friends, I need a bit of help: I have to find a venue that can host around 80 people in late May, preferably affordable. I just need the space, no need (nor budget) for catering. Suggestions here in the open or in DM. Thanks!

Started bringing my #Steam Deck on my commute for those days I'm able to get a seat on the train. Now I'm looking for some commute sized game recommendations to play! Any nice #IndieGame or demo suggestions, maybe? Hit me!

Testing #Steam cloud saves. Took me embarrassingly long to figure out why it wasn't working. 😬 To my defense, "3D" is commonly written in upper case, and the save path does have other upper case letters... 😅 #GameDev #IndieGame

I thought I was feature complete. That all I had left to do was polishing and wrapping up the narrative. But here I am. Adding features... Enemies can now turn hostile! #TextAdventure #GameDev #IndieGame #MadeWithUnity #ScreenshotSaturday
