Windfall: Shards of Memory is now on Steam! ✨ A herbalist, her donkey, and a journey in search of memory stones. Early build screenshots — more to come 💛 Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/4103140/... #indiedev #gamedev #cozygames #Windfall_Game

Water, coal, medicine, bread. The station only has what the supply trains bring in. Unload this one first, or let the troop train through? 🚂 Peregon, a WWI railway dispatcher game. Now on Steam: s.team/a/5432720 #ScreenshotSaturday #indiedev #gamedev #trains #WWI #Peregon_Game

Something new from us: a hospital train is coming. Wounded aboard, only one track has a platform. 🚂 Alongside Windfall, my husband and I are building a side project: Peregon, a WWI railway station sim. Telegrams, timetables, hard choices. #gamedev #indiedev #trains #Peregon_Game #Unity

Back from DevGAMM in Belgrade with a head full of ideas and a bunch of new connections ✨ Met some lovely people, saw interesting games, and had plenty of conversations I’m glad I started. Looking forward to seeing where they lead! #DevGAMM #gamedev

Waiting for Windfall’s Steam page to pass review so I can finally share it! 👀 Meanwhile, I’m at DevGAMM. Want to chat? Look for this T-shirt and come say hi! #DevGAMM #Windfall_Game #indiedev #gamedev

Yesterday’s #LeLoup talk at #BCON26 is still on my mind. I love how Xilam blends drawing with 3D, and it’s making me think about the visual style of my own games. Time to dive into Grease Pencil ✏️ #Xilam #Blender

At Blender Conference in Amsterdam today! 🧡 I use Blender to build the world of Windfall, so it’s lovely to spend a day surrounded by people who make things with it. Time to collect ideas, meet fellow creators, and try not to come home with seventeen new projects. #bcon #Blender3D #indiedev

Sorry for the silence — I've been building Serena's lakehouse. Now it's getting textures: weathered planks, a turf roof, a stone plinth sunk into the ground. Still raw, but it finally looks lived in. #gamedev #indiedev #b3d #SubstancePainter #UE5 #Windfall_Game

Windfall remains my main project, but it isn’t my only game. I’m also making HEQET, an Ancient Egyptian beer brewing sim, and Leningrad: Siege of Winter, about civilian life during the siege 1941 - 1944. Both are made in Godot. #indiedev #gamedev #Windfall_Game #godot

UPD on my Fiverr side quest: 11 days ago, my first-ever message to an artist got my account permanently suspended for “phishing or malware.” Today, it was restored. No explanation. Just “We are glad to have you back.” Apparently, I wasn’t malware after all. 😄 #indiedev #gamedev #Windfall_Game

Serena's full turnaround, front to back. Two silhouettes — with the shawl and without — so the same character reads as herself whichever way the camera catches her. Art by [Temurise](www.artstation.com/temurise) #Windfall_Game #indiedev #gamedev #characterart #conceptart

Serena, in three colourways. Layered wool, a knitted shawl, and whatever she gathered that morning still tied at her belt. Art by Temurise: [https://www.artstation.com/temurise] #Windfall_Game #indiedev #gamedev #characterart #conceptart

Serena, the lake witch — first silhouette pass. Mira is built for the road: boots, apron, ready to move. Serena is the opposite. She hasn't left her lake in years. Which one reads most like someone who's been waiting? #Windfall_Game #conceptart #characterdesign #indiedev #gamedev

Brewing System in Windfall, first raw version. The cauldron holds a real volume — pour water and the level rises, add a herb and the color follows. Boiling isn't a timer: the pot heats up, and a fuller pot takes longer to get there. #indiedev #gamedev #UnrealEngine #cozygames #Windfall_Game

First time using Fiverr: — Created an account — Found a Steam capsule artist — Sent my first message about a commission — Got permanently suspended for “phishing or malware activity” All in about 10 minutes. Indie dev comes with unexpected side quests. 😆 #IndieDev #GameDev

No brewing UI in Windfall. No bars, no timers, no numbers. It's all in the pot: how thick the liquid moves, whether it foams when you stir, the scale at the rim if you boiled it too long. Add something that shouldn't be there and you'll see that too. Footage soon. #gamedev #indiedev #windfall_game

It’s way too hot to be productive… …but the potion brewing system isn’t going to build itself. 🧪🌿 What’s your go-to cold drink? #IndieDev #GameDev #SubstancePainter #windfall_game

Windfall is a solo project — for now. UI and art are outsourced; everything else (world, systems, code, 3D, the website, this account) is on me. I’m starting to look for people to bring on — properly, not just for one-off tasks. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #windfall_game

In Windfall, how you prepare an ingredient matters as much as what it is. A root chopped gives a third of its strength; ground to powder, all of it. Nobody tells you — you either work it out, or a kenner mentions it and your notebook quietly updates. #gamedev #indiedev #gamedesign #windfall_game

In the north they're called kenners — from an old word for knowing. Some are old, some barely thirty. Each knows which root stops a fever and which stops a heart. They survived the Sundering alone, and no two of them agree about what happened. #gamedev #indiedev #worldbuilding #windfall_game

Mira's been through a few versions. Practical northern layers, an apothecary belt, and a digging staff — no pointy hats in this world. Art by Temurise #gamedev #indiedev #conceptart #characterdesign #indiegame #windfall
