I'm excited to announce my next Steam game! Fish. Eat. Vomit. Adorn. Sleep. Repeat in KALA! A short, surreal horror game about a man who exiled himself to a remote island, haunted by the sins of his past. You can wishlist it on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/5046190/...

Looking for horror games to play during Next Fest October? How about a horror fishing game? store.steampowered.com/app/5046190/...

KALA will be releasing on November 16th! If you still haven't played the demo, check it out on Steam. store.steampowered.com/app/5046190/...

Very excited to announce that KALA is part of the Finnish Games Week 2026! If you haven't played the demo yet, now's a great time. store.steampowered.com/app/5046190/... #fgw26 #finnishgamesweek

Our new demo for Handshakes: Hands On has been out for about a week and managed to hit 56 positive reviews so far 🙌 store.steampowered.com/app/4942610/... If you enjoy Sokoban style puzzle games give it a try! 🤝

Godot 4 is such a great improvement over all, except for the tweens. There are so many cases where I just wish I could store tween so I can easily do things with them or stop them, etc., but doing so with the new tween system is just such a hassle.

Our surreal horror game KALA has demo up also on @itch.io! Why not go over there and cause yourself to vomit by eating raw fish? martin-games.itch.io/kala-demo

KALA Demo is finally out on Steam! I hope you find it grossly enjoyable. 🤢 store.steampowered.com/app/5046190/...

THYSIASTERY IS OUT NOW!!! The Labyrinth opens today. Your descent into the unknown awaits. Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3140180/ This launch marks the beginning of a new chapter for our studio and for everyone who has followed the journey so far.

By all means ask for reviews for you game because it’s nice to have them but the Steam algorithm doesn’t care about reviews (unless they are mostly negative). Valve have said this. The algo cares about sales (revenue). The best way to help indies is to actually buy their games.

#OtterAwards25 #7: Sokobos 2 I've played a lot of block pushing games in my time, but this one is something else - and all they had to do was add a cart! Now pushing blocks against the wall isn't a problem, and a whole bunch of other rules change as well. As expected from @martingames.bsky.social ,

No AI art in my game! store.steampowered.com/app/3422180/...

1st game of the day! We push vases, we push cart, we try not to break vases! Sokobos 2 - A puzzle game about pushing vases into a cart, but you can push the cart too! Big thanks to @martingames.bsky.social for the key! store.steampowered.com/app/3422180/...

Itch featuring Sokobos 2 is so OP. It's been over a week and I still get new comments, follows, Steam wishlists and even full price purchases every single day. 🤯

Oh wow, Sokobos 2 is featured on itch! Thanks so much @itch.io

Can we now finally have linear texturing on by default instead of that abomination of bilinear filtering?

Mondays...

I sometimes think about making a game with the old, possibly awful but charming 3D models that OG Alone In The Dark has.

[FR] Go en live pour tester la première clé que l'on m'a offert ! Sokobos 2, par @martingames.bsky.social ! www.twitch.tv/fhoezy ------ [EN] Go on stream for trying the first key that I received ! Sokobos 2, by @martingames.bsky.social ! www.twitch.tv/fhoezy

Ops, my laptop is cooked, it's barely hanging onto life. This might be its last day, gotta get a new one to keep game devin'. :')

Screw it, if Sokobos 2 hits 50 reviews by the end of this year, I will make DLC with more story, new mechanics and levels!💪 Leave a review if you haven't already and spread the word about Sokobos 2! I have too many great ideas and they need out.

I keep being surprised by the amount of twitch streamers who have no email anywhere. I even see it with streamers who do have few thousand followers and get 50+ views. Unless I somehow catch them live, can't send them a Sokobos 2 key. :(

Sokobos 2 sales are decent, but not good enough that I could justify a sequel at the moment. Which sucks, because I really wanna make Sokobos 3 and I got so many great ideas for it, but I am running a business now and I must make good decisions so my company doesn't go bankrupt.

Friendship ended with queue_free(). Now object pooling is my best friend.

What if nuclear missiles were piloted with human brains? 🧠 Our indie horror BRAINSHELL is joining Finnish Game Week on Steam! Enlist now: store.steampowered.com/app/3206220?... Thanks for the support #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #Steam #FGW #FinnishGameWeek #Godot #BRAINSHELL #gamedevcommunity

You always know what you’re improving in a sequel, but it’s amazing to see players notice and call it out in their reviews!

It's been a week since Sokobos 2 released! Did you play it yet and what did you think?

After experiencing having local constants in C++, I really want them in my GDScript now too.

Almost half of Sokobos 2 players are heartless... 😢

I've attended a game development program with these amazing guys, make sure to check their game out!

@gametrailers.bsky.social @gamespot.com @ign.com Check out our trailer for our upcoming psychological horror game "BRAINSHELL". We are 3 Finnish devs making weird and experimental games. #indiegames #indiegame #gamedev #BRAINSHELL #trailer #psychologicalhorror #coldwar

This is putting ideas into my head!

Stuck inside a nuclear missile, you are become one with the machine. A being born from flesh and steel, you live to serve one purpose: to fly towards death. @brainshell.bsky.social #brainshell #indiehorror #indiegame #gamedev #indiegame #horrorgame #psychologicalhorror #horror #weird #weirdcore

Wow Japanese sales have doubled Chinese ones when it comes to Sokobos 2! Surprising since there is way more Chinese gamers in general, but I guess it makes sense Japanese players would like way Sokoban more.

Recently I learned the true importance of market research, but I also see too many people just doing that forever and just not starting prototyping, let alone developing and shipping. At the end of the day, you always learn the most from shipping a game.

I've officially got a handle on the basics of Godot and now I'm starting to prototype implementation details and level design. I've sorely missed this design phase part of gamedev. I explored a bit of metroidbrainia design with Gentoo Rescue, but now I'm excited to apply it as a central theme.

It's also 15% off during its launch discount!

Pricing Sokobos 2 at $9.99 instead of $4.99 was the best thing I could have done. Seriously, there's no reason to price well done games below $9.99 anymore. Good indie games are worth the higher price. The game isn't even THAT long. 2-3 hours for those familiar with the genre.

THE NZ STEAM SALE IS THIS WEEK BOOMSTOCK IS THIS WEEK WHAT I'M SAYING IS OUR GAMES ARE GONNA BE ON SALE
