"My latest content got a lot of engagement on social media". Idk man, that feels so dehumanizing. I just want to connect to another person, even if only for a few seconds.

"Duel for Cardia" makes the train ride from Cologne to Berlin go by fast! We picked up this gem at #gamescom2025

On the train ride home from #gamescom2025 after showcasing Flick Shot Rogues all week lomg, tired and happy. It was a great time, and I met a bunch of cool folks. Gotta shout out some of the games once my brain works again!

THE Matt Mercer explaining our game in this clip! The Future Games Show gave us this absolute gem, check it out! I am still star-struck. (And check out our NextFest demo: bit.ly/flickshotrogues) #indiegame #gamedev

I don't know why I engage in discussions about programming practices on reddit again and again. It only stresses me out and never leads to anything productive.

What, Matt Mercer just explained Flick Shot Rogues? I am lowkey fangirling! @futuregamesshow.bsky.social #indiegames #gamedev

ARGUE WITH YOUR RUBBER DUCK or SEEK COMFORT. It's up to you. ~ We're preparing our new demo. The SEEK COMFORT scene was never before public. We're excited. And nervous. ~ #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamedev #storygame #gaming #digitalartist #illustration #graphicdesign #typography #animation #ducks

Spot the difference! 🤪 It is always crazy to see what difference two years of work and polish make, but also how much of the original essence was there already. #indiegames #gamedev #steamgames

Hype! Our demo is part of the Six One Indie Showcase by @sixoneindie.com! Find our demo here: bit.ly/FlickShotRogues #indiegames #gamedev #steamgames

Demo is out NOW! 🎉 After years of hard work, it is so great to finally see people actually having fun with our game. Check it out on Steam: bit.ly/FlickShotRogues #indiedev #gamedev

So great seeing videos come out about the demo of Flick Shot Rogues! Exciting times! Big thanks to @indiebuffet.games for taking the time! #gamedev #indiedev

It is kinda crazy seeing videos come out of people playing the Flick Shot Rogues demo! This one is one of my favorites, actually made me laugh out loud form time to time: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lf1U... #gamedev #indiedev

People are playing our demo (and love it!) After such a long time of working on it, it feels good to finally get something out there. Kinda surreal. #indiedev

Hey #screenshotsaturday crew! Dropping anchor here to say: Flick Shot Rogues has a demo out on Steam! Check it out here: bit.ly/FlickShotRogues #gamedev #indiedev

This video is great. It made me re-evaluate the first projects I did in my gamedev career, some of which I saw as painful failures. Very good look into what making indiegames means.

How does ROLLBACK NETCODE work, why is it so difficult to program, and why is it the gold standard for fighting games? A whirlwind tour of different solutions #pixelart #gamedev #AnimationVERSUS The setup: you have a video game with couch co-op and want to add online multiplayer. Easy, right...? 🧵

yes

Just played a few rounds of @slothwerks.bsky.social Bramble Royale, and it feels fantastic. Tight balancing, very fun and polished visuals. Recommended! store.steampowered.com/app/2372950/...

Let’s talk playtesting, shall we? After playtesting dozens of games for tabletop, PC/console, and installations, I've learned a thing or two about how to test well. So I figured it's a good time to remind folks about playtesting best practices while we're all hyped up with inspiration from GDC. 🧵

Huh, just found out there is an article in 80.lv about the gamedev tool I built for Flick Shot Rogues. Did not expect that, but it's kinda cool! 80.lv/articles/che... #gamedev #indiedev

Look, mom, I helped make this! #indiedev

No cheating, post the last photo of your pet that you took. (sorry for posting two, but it's a story)

A buddy of mine just reminded me of this lets-play for a game we did together, like, 14 years ago. This might be the oldest relic of my game dev career that can be found online. I don't think the game is downloadable anywhere. Weirdly nostalgic. #gamedev #indiedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdtT...

Crazy! Just looked through older versions of our game Flick Shot Rogues, and sometimes I forget how much of a glow-up the game had in the past year. Feels good! This is the exact same arena by the way! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #roguelike #turnbased

Yo, this site has been super useful for confirming RegEx expressions for me: regexr.com #gamedev #indie #regex

Memo to myself: Always limit the speed when implementing a new speed boost trinket! At least it is a good stress-test for our physics engine... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #indietech #roguelike

So, our studio now has a Bluesky profile as well 👀

updated my airborn tree article! added a great breakdown (from "kids with sticks") on making stylized foliage with Blender: simonschreibt.de/gat/airborn-... #gamedev #gameart #techart

New FMOD Deep Dive is up! 🤩 Talking to Giori Politi on his work for Blind Drive - an almost entirely audio-driven #indiegame 🤯 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oywd... #gameaudio #sounddesign #FMOD

Dang, watching streamers react to our reveal trailer is both exciting and kinda stressful. But so far the reactions are super positive, which is nice! #gamedev #indiedev

What, just joined, and people are already following me? And they do not look like bots? Someone commented on a post? What kind of social media platform is this, normally it feels like shouting into a void!

Soo we just anounced our hero-flicking, tactical roguelike game Flick Shot Rogues! Exciting times! Check out our reveal trailer, please, it was a lot of work, lol: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AV0m...
