Playing around with prototypes atm. This is an idea for a sort of turn-based / rhythm game mashup. The bottom menu would give classic JRPG style options but you have to think fast to take advantage of your turn as the beat keeps rolling regardless #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

🎙️ Call for voice actors! 🎭 We're looking for two lead voices for our next game. - One male and one female, vocal age 40 to 60 - Cornish / Welsh / South-West England accent If that's you, please send an acting sample to info@inklestudios.com, marked “casting call”. (Paid, ofc) <3 RTs!

Hello! You, there with a website! A lot of freelancing is booked up for the next month, so while I am still offering my services for review, I am also offering my services as a freelance copy-editor. Shit’s busy, you need help, I am happy to lend an experienced pair of hands/eyeballs.

Went to an arcade in Halifax that had a framed portrait of Shigeru Miyamoto looking like he's about to be at the center of a murder mystery in the pacific northwest

🚨 We did it 🚨 10,000 wishlists before launch, absolutely wild, Vroombi started out as a way to get a full game out, so I could learn the ropes for Red's Revenge. It quickly gained its own life, and I've put SO much into it. 10K is way beyond what I set out to get, thank you 😍 #indiegame #indiedev

Looking for advice on Player Simulation for balancing my game. Anyone got experience doing this? I've heard Slay the Spire used Monte Carlo simulation... also that Beam Search is a thing... Any advice appreciated! #indiedev #indiegaming #gamedev #gaming

Hope everyone's having a good #steamnextfest. Why not play the BeatChip '95 demo as part of the festival now? #indiedev #indiegaming #gamedev #gaming

I've tried to avoid having technical musical terms in BeatChip '95 but by popular demand I've added effect names in for ease of recognition. Cassie's happy about it at least! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegaming #gaming

Finally ran the math - players have over 2 billion options for making their own tracks in BeatChip '95! Thanks to my sister who has more math smarts than me XD Here's a more simple track to celebrate #indiedev #gamedev #indiegaming #gaming
