Well hello there! First animated animals are in! It is only fitting for it to be a Zebra. Their unfortunate name usually means they come last. Not in our game! #IndieDev #GameDev

What do you thing of our lighting, what could we improve? #screenshotsaturday #gamedev We aim overall for a diorama aesthetics with relatively unsaturated colors. These are our current spring and autumn, the ends of the blue - red spectrum. How could we make the lighting better?

ALL HANDS is a couch coop sailing game that combines elements of games like Journey and Death Stranding.   Work together to master everchanging winds in a post-revolutionary solarpunk world. We are looking for publishing! Hit us up! #PitchYaGame #Solarpunk #CouchCoop #WorkerOwned

The difference between life and death? A warmer fire. A stronger shelter. A sharper edge. Hides become tents. Flint becomes blades. Discover recipes, experiment and craft the tools your clans need to endure, to grow, to thrive. #indiegame #strategy

These are early screenshots from our strategy game about forging a cultural identity of a nomadic prehistoric tribe. It's not about the destination, but the friends... and foes you meet along the way. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev #procgen #pcgame

As the sun rises over the valley, your clans awaken. The day greats you with the river's song, the scratching of claws in the undergrowth, the distant call of a mammoth. But in the safety of the camp, the brutal world outside fades to a distant echo. #indiegame

After survival is assured, the tribe will begin to develop their identity. Their own history and culture. What will your tribe be like? What will they focus on? Tell us in comments! #itat #gamedev #procgen #indiedev

In this unforgiving world, survival begins with a single question: How will your clans find food? Forage the wilds, fish the rivers, scavenge the remains or hunt the great beasts. Prepare food or eat it raw. Each choice will shape your fate. #indiedev #gamedev #pcgaming #indiegames #itat
