Excited to host this week's official #TurnBasedThursday on Bsky ๐Ÿ”ฅ Now, don't be shy, #IndieGameDev ๐Ÿ‘€. Reply with your #turnbased games, AND USE THE HASHTAG!! ๐Ÿ˜˜ Do you love turn-based games? Of course you do! ๐Ÿ” and โค your favorites in the replies, and follow your favorites ๐Ÿ˜Ž

As the Xenauri commanders charge into battle, we're racing toward the finish line! ๐Ÿ‘€ The Xenauri Riders DLC for Heroes of Science & Fiction launches October 15! The wait is almost over! #IndieGame #StrategyGame #TurnBased

Meet the Ssaari Screamer, a surprisingly clever Xenauri unit! ๐Ÿ‘€ Instead of attacking, it can give any friendly unit an extra turn, opening up some powerful tactical options. Upgrade it to the Ssaari Medbearer, and it can heal allies too! #IndieGame #StrategyGame #TurnBased

It's #TurnBasedThursday! I'm delighted to be this weekโ€™s official host. As the spooky season nears, let's summon some turn based games! Devs - show us your games... and don't forget the #TurnBasedThursday hashtag, & ๐Ÿ” re-share Players - โค๏ธ, โœ… wishlist & ๐Ÿ” re-share #indiedev #indiegame

Meet the Blood Ssaari, one of the fiercest predators among the Xenauri! ๐Ÿ‘€ It attacks all adjacent hexes at once. Upgrade it to the Blood Rider, and it automatically does so at the start of its turn, before taking its turn as normal. #IndieGame #StrategyGame #TurnBased

Meet the Chickmunk, another Xenauri Riders unit! ๐Ÿ‘€ Sharing a planet with enormous Ssaari lizards isn't easy, but Chickmunks are tougher than they look! Upgrade it to Chickmunk Alpha-breed to move and shoot in the same turn. #IndieGame #StrategyGame #TurnBased

So excited and proud to be hosting the official #TurnBasedThursday on Bsky! I'm hosting live from NEXUS in Dublin today! I want to see all your #GameDev updates, so hit me with your art, trailers, and infos! Show Me What You Got!

Meet the Altari Wielder, a Level 5 unit of the Xenauri Riders! At the end of each round, it cheers on nearby allies. Upgrade it to the Altari Conjurer, and it will also cast a random Biotic ability! ๐Ÿ‘€ Its staff helps channel Altari power. Supposedly. #IndieGame #StrategyGame #TurnBased

We were quite careful with Easter eggs in #ProjectHospital, as the game takes itself seriously, but what if some of your patients are literal acrobats by profession (obviously this is pretty rare)? ๐Ÿ™ƒ #GameDev #IndieDev #EasterEgg

Best with sound! ๐ŸŽถ Had a lot of fun one Saturday making this for HoSaF - including a bit of storytelling (Benni was a different guy then) and getting the video to loop perfectly. Even got to record a bit of music. Here's a cleaned-up version without the marketing bits at the end. #gamedev #indiedev

The "scripting" in HoSaF, possibly my very favorite feature! Heavily shaped by the requirements of the official campaigns, there's not only the usual dialog and movement tools, but variables, conditions and for example kill zones or switching to playing as a different player! #gamedev #indiedev 1/2

Render to texture - always a useful tool, but I'm surprised how many use cases it found in HoSaF. Animated units in the UI catalog? Sure! Outlines around objects? Of course! Fog of war? Particles in the UI? Custom lightmap system? Yes, all these! #GameDev #IndieDev #GraphicsProgramming 1/3

We've just released "Typhon Map Pack DLC", featuring 7 brand-new maps for you to explore. Also, a major update for the base game brings underground areas, new units, items, numerous fixes, and many improvements and features! #indiedev We hope you enjoy it! store.steampowered.com/news/app/214...

An underrated highlight from HoSaF? :) In a small indie team it's always hard to choose what will get priority, so I'm very happy we found time for the UI at bases with useful shortcuts, available units shown next to their building etc. Notice the panels zooming in from "their building"! #indiedev
