This is not only a game I've worked on but it's one of those rare special journeys you embark with two good friends. Together we sail through stormy seas, destroy in order to rebuild, going back to the starting point a thousand times. Eventually It's here, it's called Magenta Down.

Some more detail on our design motivations for Magenta...

Xbox Wire@wire.xbox.com

Magenta Down is an atmospheric sci-fi adventure coming to XBOX in 2027. Following the reveal, the developers offer a glimpse into the game's design: news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/1...

Super fun game. Made by a brilliant dev. #indiegame

The Demon Spore demo is live! It's an intense action horror roguelike where a DNA food tech company accidentally creates a biological horror that is spreading out of control. If stressful tactical decisions and kinetic twin stick action sound like your cup of tea, give it a try!

We're super excited to announce our next game, Magenta Down. It's an atmospheric sci-fi adventure set on a harsh, remote exoplanet. Endure injury and radiation exposure with scarce supplies as you search for a way to save yourself and your crew. Coming in 2027 to Steam and XBOX. #indiegame

Announcement: STEAM DEMO OUT NOW! The early dungeons of Forbidden Solitaire are now open to those bold - or foolish - enough to explore them. How badly do you wish to live forever? 👁️🩸 👇👇👇 store.steampowered.com/app/3414580/... Please wishlist and share - thank you! #indiedev

A public demo of the banned 1995 CD-ROM ‘Forbidden Solitaire’ is being leaked TOMORROW on #Steam. Authorities advise gamers to exercise extreme caution. Campaign groups, such as ‘Justice for Timmy,’ go further: urging players to delete all traces of the software if they are tempted to install it.

I think my super power is building fully realised interactive experiences. I’ve worked hard to build skills across coding, art, animation, and design, so that ideas can quickly go from something in my head to something I can share with others.

Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome. I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at. No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at Is anyone brave eniough? 👀

Calling it now - Joris is going to have massive success with his next game. All his brilliant work over the years on procedrual generation wrapped in a more forgiving and thoughtful (pacing and player mindset) game model. Can’t wait to see it all come together!

It started when I wanted to add a basin of refreshing/healing water for the adventurers to find. But it led to a pretty deep rabbit hole with liquids, vessels to carry them around and then some. At least you can now do this. Who doesn't like to start a good fire inside a dungeon? #gamedev #indiedev

Played 4 hours of Cast n Chill. You fish for cash, unlock new lures, rods, boats or locations. You upgrade things. You match lures and rod size to specific fish. The fishing mechanics are great. A nice vibe and it's gorgeous to look at and spend time in. store.steampowered.com/app/3483740/...

Dev friend (art/code) of mine made a roguelike Vampire Survivors-like with his son (design) called Cosmic Coliseum. It’s only $5 and might be your thing! #roguelike #gamedev #indiegame store.steampowered.com/app/2158810/...

A book on the early days of Psygnosis covering the games on the Amiga? Backed. I owned so many Psygnosis games back then. Audio/visual feasts even if the gameplay often left much to be desired. Psygnosis was iconic, legendary and bar raising. #psygnosis #retrogames editions64k.fr/psygnosis/

That's Bionic Bay bested. Some proper jaw-clenching eye of the needle platforming in places, but generally a great time. Introduces a mechanic in the last couple of levels I'd liked to have played with for longer, but better that than anything outstaying its welcome.

I finished Rosewater last night. Around 14 hours. It's an epic journey and adventure with a really great ending and choices that affect your posse companions along the way. I'd recommend it to any adventure game fan. Great writing and lots of puzzles. Enjoyed it greatly. #gamedev

ROSEWATER IS OUT! A Wild West adventure about friendship, storytelling, and found family. It's been a journey making this game. I sincerely hope you enjoy it. 🤠🌵 Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/1226670/... GOG: www.gog.com/en/game/rose...

There is a lot of noise about game development but it comes down to one thing. Make something that resonates with players. Your only concern is to entertain people and create indelible memories. Never forget that when you're in the weeds. #gamedev #indiegames #gamedeveloper

This looks brilliant!
