Faraday Corridors is the neon grid puzzle I'm making solo. I post its levels here until it ships on 3 November store.steampowered.com/app/4758990/Faraday_Corridors #FollowFriday

Is it really #WishlistWednesday again? Well, today I updated my Steam capsule art, so maybe that'll make you wishlist it? Or maybe play it and review it and help me reach ten reviews? I got my fourth today! store.steampowered.com/app/4025180/... #puzzlegame #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #steam

How do you like this new version of my capsule art? I hoped to inject a bit more action and whimsy, making it a bit less somber. I kinda like how it's turning out, I think it's got a bit of a nice retro vibe to it. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #aseprite #indiegame #steamcapsule #boulderdash #retro

This sequence shows how I arrived at the skull effigy (called a Howl) for my game while playing around in Aseprite. Did I go wrong at some turn? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart #puzzlegame #cosmichorror

There was a recent LoC growth spurt when I added in-chamber save points, but other than that not too much has happened recently, which I guess is reasonable for a released game. #gamedev #indiedev #rustlang #bevyengine #tokei

It's #ShowMeSunday, so I'll show this one: youtu.be/5_QvuOY6mvU store.steampowered.com/app/4025180/... #puzzlegame #indiegame #cosmichorror #horror #retrogaming #gamedev #indiedev #rustlang #steam #steamdeck #steamsale

My cute cosmic horror puzzle game is now discounted as part of the Steam Autumn Sale! With Boulder Dash-inspired gameplay The Indie Game Network recently called it "...a little piece of art in the indie scene.” store.steampowered.com/app/4025180/ #SteamSale #SteamAutumnSale #puzzlegame #bevyengine

Hello! This is from episode 3 of my cute cosmic horror puzzle game, showing off some of the storytelling which is woven through your adventure into the catacombs! store.steampowered.com/app/4025180 #ScreenshotSaturday #adventure #indiegame #gaming #puzzlegame #pixelart #bevyengine #gamedev

I just released a new version of my game: store.steampowered.com/news/app/402... This is a major update as it introduces mid-chamber save points, which you will return to whenever you die, or need to rethink your solution. #ShowMeSunday #PuzzleGame #IndieGame #GameDev #IndieDev #Gaming #SteamDeck

This #ScreenshotSaturday I'm getting ready to release the save point functionality that I've been working on. The Portsmoor Abysm has intentionally small chambers, but this is the most requested feature. store.steampowered.com/app/4025180 #puzzlegame #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #steamdeck #bevy

I played EVEN MORE unknown / obscure indie games on Steam to try and find some hidden gems! #IndieGameDev #VideoGames #Gaming #GameDev #Gamers www.youtube.com/watch?v=50-E...

It's #ScreenshotSaturday, and this shows the feature I'm working on right now... chamber snapshots. Not quite done, with some cases yet to cover, and it's going to need some juice, but still getting close. store.steampowered.com/app/4025180 #puzzlegame #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

It's #ScreenshotSaturday, and this is a shot from the demo of my cute cosmic horror puzzle game, The Portsmoor Abysm: store.steampowered.com/app/4025180 #puzzlegame #indiegame #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #steamdeck #bevyengine #rustlang

It's #ScreenshotSaturday and this is a video with the solution to one of the bonus chambers of The Portsmoor Abysm. Like several other bonus chambers this requires understanding how the physics work. store.steampowered.com/app/4025180 #gamedev #indiedev #puzzlegame #pixelart #indiegame #bevyengine

I released a new version of The Portsmoor Abysm with the latest improvements, including the improved idle animation, a fixed chamber, a replaced bonus chamber, and some polished text and visuals: store.steampowered.com/news/app/402... #ShowMeSundary #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #update

This #ScreenshotSaturday I'm showing this additional variant of the player idle animation, where he adjusts his hat instead of the usual tapping his foot. This is my cute cosmic horror puzzle game: store.steampowered.com/app/4025180/... #puzzlegame #indiegame #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #gaming

Today I added a crucial feature: If the player idles the character inpatiently taps their foot, which is now finally accompanied by a small tapping sound. Had to extend my custom animation system to be able to drive events from frames, but that was well worth it. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #bevy

This #ScreenshotSaturday I'm posting the latest version of my full game trailer for my cute cosmic horror puzzle game, inspired by e.g. Boulder Dash and Supaplex, but more puzzle focused. #videogame #gaming #puzzlegame #indiegame #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #retrogame #rustlang #steamdeck #steam

Hey! I released a new version of my cute cosmic horror puzzle game, including the demo. store.steampowered.com/news/app/402... Mostly contains the updated boulder graphics, but also some minor text tweaks. #gamedev #indiedev #puzzlegame #pixelart #bevyengine #steam #horrorgame #cosmichorror

The boulder art is some of the oldest in my game, and now I've updated it to fit better with the newer pieces (old/new). Play the demo and get the full game today: store.steampowered.com/app/4025180/... #wishlistwednesday #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #puzzlegame

My game, The Portsmoor Abysm, now has a Swedish translation available: store.steampowered.com/news/app/402... This was a fairly substantial amount of work but means the game is now set up for translations where it previously was not. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #swedish #sweden #translation

Playing around with the work necessary for translating The Portsmoor Abysm to languages other than English. Swedish is hardly important since we generally speak English well, but it's the translation I can do myself to try this out. store.steampowered.com/app/4025180/ #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame
