Here's my next game, ROTETRA, a tetromino stacker where you spin the whole board and juggle multiple pieces at once! It's a little bit cursed, but I've been having fun making it! Play the demo (and wishlist 👉👈): store.steampowered.com/app/4306820/... also, on web: sharkwithlasers.itch.io/rotetra

ok the croissants have hp now

testing a handful of new features including the ability to attach the cam to characters and dial in some fun new post process shaders... #indiedev #gamedev

made a system for saving groups of stuff to be reused across scenes #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev

In case you're waiting for the new Genshin Impact update for that one just announced new game mode, just go get Children of the Sun instead while it's on sale!

why do we fall? #squirmbox #indiedev #gamedev

Hi everybody...! I am SO excited to share with the BRAND NEW trailer that aired today on the SGF XBOX Games Showcase 2026! Check out new stuff like character and scenario reveals, new cutscenes -- plus publisher, launch window, and platform announcements!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=LL_T...

playtesting/jamming with the latest build to some floating points. all screen recorded in one take with no post or editing #gamedev #indiedev

squirm together #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev

hey you've got a little booger

genuinely a perfect demo. can't recommend it enough.

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

Always nice to see what playtesters get up to in Squirmbox. Courtesy of Maciek Łazowski. Music from Noah Lin. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev

the lord of floppy little guys himself @tokyomegaplex.bsky.social gave me his character regis to play with #gamedev #indiedev

this is the green energy future that terrifies trump #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #unrealengine

are you at gdc this week? come to my quick talk at the experimental games showcase on friday at 12:30! here is a *vertical* teaser of my new trailer to entice/repel you. hope to see you there and please come say hi at the demo after! #indiedev #gamedev #unrealengine #exgs

i put way too much effort editing this one-off sale video, this is how i enjoy GDC

Jaxx Blorgin's UFO JAM is up and running at Wonderville.

in addition to the gizmos, i've added a grab and drag which has been one of the most requested features from my playtesters. alt+drag to duplicate and even snapping still work with this as well. #indiedev #indiegamedev #gamedev #unrealengine

giving the people what they want. #indiedev #indiegamedev #gamedev #unrealengine

Everybody smile. #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieGamedev #IndieDev #Gamedev

duplicating a character in place a few times is a nice way to generate nightmare fuel... #indiedev #indiegamedev #gamedev

What a way to while away the rest of your days... #gamedev #indiedev

"Bowing Skater" by @bonkinteractive.com

I've overhauled my puzzle level generation so a level is now "grown" like cell tissue in a triangle tessellation. New elements can be inserted anywhere, and the whole level deforms to make room. This makes it easier to control topology and create paths that loops around areas. #ProcGen #GameDev

Alt side parking is suspended in observance of Skate Story day. Use the extra extra time to buy it and play it. The hopes and dreams of the nyc game dev community are with you @bysameng.com store.steampowered.com/app/1263240/... #gamedev #indiedev #SkateStory

@skatestory.com launch party!! Visuals by @bonkinteractive.com 🔥 🌕

Got to drive the live visualizer by @bonkinteractive.com at the @skatestory.com launch party 👯‍♂️

A dream collab with @bysameng.com for the Skate Story launch party. Will have plenty more to show soon...

Mimic Meadows was featured in this Kotaku article!| I've been working on the full version of Mimic in #godot for a year now and I've discovered cool new mechanics like eating and mating~ Wishlist to get pinged when the demo comes out: store.steampowered.com/app/4136640/Mimic_Meadows/ #indiedev

another fun addition is a custom sticky triplanar solution that allows for seamless (ish) drag and drop texturing on both static and deforming meshes #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev

Another feature update: players can drive changes in materials through modulators, allowing for some classic motion graphics effects #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

so many new features since my last update, including...alt+drag to duplicate #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #indiedev

More kicking the tires… #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #screenshotsaturday

Took a first pass at a main menu. #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #indiegamedev
