After about 1.5 years in development, my game "May and the Amazing Bouquet" can now be wishlisted on Steam! This is my first real game, and I'm so excited it's gotten to this point! 🥲 Thank you to everyone who's followed and supported so far!

in Monsterpatch, you can edit your town in Build Mode

NEW: I spoke with current and former EA employees to understand how the latest layoff round played out and the realities of daily life at the U.S. publisher. The short version? EA is controlled by an executive class that "cannot fail, only be failed." Workers, then, will always pay the price.

A quick summary of what to expect from the technical demo for Eggbound - a monster collecting RPG being made for the original Gameboy. Jump right in! Grab a monster and explore a dungeon. Maybe even play a tune to recruit some monsters. #gbstudio #gameboy #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart #gamedev

Since the NO GEN AI Next Fest thread took off, I wanted to share this spreadsheet that Chris at @crossplaycrew.bsky.social @indietorial.bsky.social put together. Recommended NO GEN AI demos from Next Fest October 2026 👇 docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

#Devtober Day 21 Crude underwater movement and jumping into and out of the water are working. "Crude" being the key word. Movement isn't satisfying and it needs animations. :/ I'm thinking of making acceleration and deceleration slower than on land, but only if it feels right.

I'm OBSESSED with the princess singing and following your play with the flute #gamedev #indiedev

#Devtober Day 20 Long day. Tired. 🫠 But we now have water, and respawning works too. And stalactites! #MayGame

my prediction for ibanez & dragonball z collab reveal tomorrow #ibanez #dbz #ibzdbz #doublewhammygame #indiegame #guitar

The sidescrolling view has gotten a graphical overhaul. The dark background made the block wireframes harder to see, so let's use a light background instead. I think this fits the overworld style better too, with darker areas = impassable areas. #MayGame #ScreenshotSaturday #indiegame

#Devtober Day 18 I updated the puzzle block graphics for a side-view perspective (they were still top-down). The animations too. Also, I don't think I've ever shown the green one before. It's a 4-way block. Unlike the others, you can get it almost anywhere with enough effort. #MayGame #gamedev

The demo for our game Demi and the Fractured Dream is featured in the Steam Next Fest. Check it out 🤠 #demiandthefractureddream #indiegame #gamedev #pcgaming #steamnextfest

I feel it's important to share this again. The internet is so hostile toward creators nowadays. I've seen people have their work stolen, and no longer feel comfortable sharing their creations. We can do better. Let's be supportive to the people that make this a better place! 💞

Of the 7 programs I use most for #gamedev, I find it funny that nearly half have black-and-white rounded square icons. 🤣

i hope the woim left behind is ok??? #godot #gamedev #puzzlegame #indiegame

Indies and original IP blew up in 2026. More than half of the games that sold more than 500,000 units in their first month were the start of a new series, and 43% were indies. https://bit.ly/4i8HKl5

#Devtober Day 16 First day working on puzzles in a sidescrolling environment. Happily, these puzzle blocks from the top-down areas have decent puzzle potential in a sidescrolling areas too. Albeit more as building blocks. (The physics need work. I'll need to refine that.) #gamedev #MayGame

Happy Anniversary to Xenogears 🎂🥳🎉 Released in North America on this day in 1998 for the PlayStation 1, this masterpiece from Square pushed storytelling, philosophy, and music to new heights. It’s still one of the most unforgettable RPGs ever made!

I finished polishing and texturing Whiskur's model, and as much as I want to deny it, the little stinker turned out pretty well. :P #nomadsculpt #indierpg #godot

Now that Steam Next Fest has started I want to remind everybody to not give games with AI any attention, to help you with this you can download this neat extension that will make it A LOT easier to filter through the slop! github.com/seeeeew/aiwa...

📣 INDIE GAMES DEVS! 📣 If you have a demo in Steam Next Fest and do not use gen AI, drop it in the comments below. I will repost! Let's create a thread where players can actually find our games! (Image courtesy of @kanaratron.bsky.social)

#Devtober Day 14 I wasn't thrilled with the original avoid-drowning animation sequence. This updated one has a slow-mo flailing bounce at first, then a run-in-place windup animation, then high-speed motion lines that move towards safety, and finally a brief panting animation. #MayGame

There are no Game Overs in my game. If you touch a hazard, you'll just instantly respawn. But what if... We were to add Game Overs but disguise it as scripted comic relief? #MayGame #indiegame #cozygame

#Devtober Day 12 Another type of collectible now has its system in place. I think this is the last complicated one. ^^ Why give players a hat when you could instead give them a token for one? The mystery. The suspense. What kind will it be? 😁 #gamedev
