Joacim ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

👋🏻 I'm Joacim. I work with visual and interaction design. I'm learning low/no code app development. I like icon and logo design (attached images), video games, adventuring, lego, and I keep a couple humans, cats, and many house plants alive. I want to find fellow people!

Played through Rime, what a wonderful adventure puzzle game 👦🏻🧣

Arco for movie night 👏🏻

Won’t the folding bit on the iPhone Duo go wonky and wobbly before long? Seems inevitable with the folding design. It’s a strange choice on a device that most people will open and close a lot. Still, makes me curious. Maybe the next model, or next next.

Here’s a wild idea, what if video game publishers went back to only publishing games?

Trying the profile link thingy, seems to work nice. :)

Played through Naiad, what a gorgeous and relaxing game 💛

Early visuals for a new tiny video game, about a worm. May change from now to then. I like the shapes and the name for the current level, maybe as a code to continue another time?

Stacking snacks! cimsalabim.itch.io/stack-a-snack

Big walk

Wrote words about the making of Stack a Snack, www.joacimeldre.com/posts/2026-0...

I'm currently reading Dungeon Crawler Carl, Slow Productivity, and Yesteryear. A fascinating mix!

Andrey Surnov's concept work for Jusant in my brain again this morning. Can't think of a game set among ruins that made me more desperate to see more of its world. So few games manage such an original and rich aesthetic, so sad the team never got to make more.

cimsalabim.itch.io/stack-a-snack #fallingblockjam #pico8 this was fun! i'll write words and add music another time

I’ll drop music/sound and cover/label image for my tiny game, need to figure out how to get a itch.io project page up and then submit! Aaaaa

Today is the one-year anniversary of the release of Unfair Flips!!! The game is not on sale today because I forgot. But also it's $1.99 anyways so a sale is mostly in the mind store.steampowered.com/app/3925760/...

From Kjell Aukrust’s Je og’n Solan. One day I’ll have the same easy and descriptive penmanship!

#pico8 now has the most officially published cartridges of any console in history. Well done everyone.

I've been working on this little garden for the past year, and today it's finally open! 🌱 Chomp Garden is out now on Steam! A bite-sized puzzle adventure where you play as a tiny lamp, guide strange plants with light, and find your lost pup! store.steampowered.com/app/4457150

Stack a Snack #pico8 game for #FallingBlockJam. I've added more animations, more sprites (gray bunny mouth and unmatch indicator, yay), heart on spit match, some hidden scoring stuff. Feels good! Now cover/label art. I want to make a fun one, dunno how yet. Have a pleasant day!

I'm kind of halfway sort of participating in #FallingBlockJam with a #pico8 game titled Stack a Snack! I want to get a few more things in, and quite happy with how the core plays!

Thanks Cloudflare, this is a welcome change in making the life of crawlers difficult!

Kala Paint is out! I'm @olawson.bsky.social , professional artist for 15 years, then game dev, now wrote the painting software I wish I'd been using all this time. GPU-run creamy brushes, no subscription, no gen AI crap, hand-coded with ideas from artists in our Discord, and more added weekly!

A sprite layout a day keeps.. me happy! Added floor, and also thought hey, what if the blue rabbit cakes are blue? Feels and reads nice.

Good morning! I woke up and had to draw. 🐈

We added a big ol' (!!!) warning signal to telegraph incoming enemy attacks. Are they a little too much tho? 😅‼️ #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #retro

Hehehehe! Tiny video game sprite progress. #pico8

I'm laying out sprites for a new tiny video game! I like this direction. #pico8
