Happy Lunar New Year 🐎

I'm really bad at social media, but if you are reading this, please take a moment and consider joining for our 5th annual blind accessibility game jam starting in Feb! 5 years, over 100 accessible games made, help us do even better! itch.io/jam/games-fo... #GameDev #A11y

This is now what greets the player when they first run the story game I'm making, ◀Future Ghost▶ #indiegamedev #ui #uidesign #accessibility

New in-game language option UI element, who's this? (the monitor photo at a weird angle is a deliberate choice) #indiegamedev #ui #uidesign #accessibility

Thaaat's better...! Now the player character's low-gravity walk cycle displays just fine on Android in the narrative adventure game I'm making, ◀Future Ghost▶ Which hopefully means it will also display just fine on consoles like the Switch... 🤔 #indiedev #indiegamedev #comics #indiegame #android

The Game Expo here in Naarm / Melbourne today released their official photos from the event in March this year. This was my booth. This was my impassioned-looking way of talking to someone about my game or something. #indiegamedev

So I released the updated prototype on itch. If you're feeling bored or kind then check it out and tell me what you think.

It's Wei Song, the player character from the narrative adventure game I'm making, ◀Future Ghost▶ A rare direct-to-digital drawing. Most start off as pencil on paper. How would you caption this? What is Song reacting to? #indiegamedev #indiegame #illustration #comics

Thanks to every who's paid money for our pack of 400 sound effects so far! It's 100% free but we really appreciate every single penny thrown our way, it'll help us to keep making cool free game dev assets :) #gamedev #indiedev chequered.ink/400-sounds-p...

Discovered a new (to me) #retrogaming and JP pop culture store in a shopping centre I don't visit often. Decent selection. I snagged 'Parodius da!' (GB) for AU$15. Dude said he had no idea about the JP games, so I told him what this one was (a parody of Gradius) but he just looked at me blank. 😅

The demo reviews are in! "A really fun homage to Final Fantasy Tactics!" "A clever mix of sports and strategy… shows strong potential for fans of both." "It felt like something entirely new to the genre." Play the FREE Demo! 💫 store.steampowered.com/app/3035460?... Thanks #PitchYaGame! 💖

Check out the nice write-up Jeff (Yokozona) did for his renewed website, based on the interview he did with me earlier this year. It covers insights into my ideation and practical processes for the development of my narrative adventure #indiegame, 'Future Ghost'...

I remembered some players at the expo in March trying to see what happens when you walk into an "invisible wall" on the edge of the stage in the opening of my wip narrative adventure #indiegame ◀Future Ghost▶... Decided to do something about it...

🔥😵 Pepper Odyssey is OUT NOW on STEAM and ITCH!!! 😵🔥 store.steampowered.com/app/3622840/... wavey-games.itch.io/pepper-odyssey #majorupdate #indiegame #rpg #turn-based #indiedev #survivalgame #roguelite

Demo time. Go easy on me. #gamedev #indiegame store.steampowered.com/app/2906320

A turn-based RPG, but the special moves are all named after Muse songs.

I wonder if sighted players will choose 'Screenreader mode' just for the additional #comic style text boxes and cute robot bat sidekick? Narrative adventure #indiegame ◀Future Ghost▶ will have a bunch of #accessibility features, including this special mode for players with impaired (or no) vision.

#solodev making Battle Fortress Terra. A third-person strategic action shooter for #pc. Control a huge tank/battleship on wheels Players can customise weapons, armor, shields and abilities. Check out my progress in the video below #unrealengine #gamedev youtu.be/GYM4ZqWdI9E?...

Been doing #gamedev stuff that isn't so easily shared, of late. Like 🧠-driven EN→JP #translation for the in-game timeline, not 🤖-driven (pictured). Improving the screen reader compatibility for greater pronunciation accuracy has been another, for #accessibility and pedantry purposes.

We take a look at the cozy word puzzle game RITA and give our early thoughts on this wholesome exploration into family legacy. @sporktank.bsky.social youtu.be/6teu3Tp7-BY #indiegame #indiegamedev #puzzlegames

I've published the date and Pepper Odyssey is coming out November 5th 2025. On a Wednesday three weeks from now! 🙌 store.steampowered.com/app/3622840/... #indiegame #wishlistwednesday #rpg #turnbased #pixelart

Simple stuff never is. This WIP in-game dynamic timeline took a weekend. Building for multiple input methods has been the real kicker. Choose from perfect mouse input with "laggy" keyboard/gamepad (press twice to move b/w active entries) or broken mouse input! Cutscene playback *basically* works.

Talk to me, despite the fact that I was absolutely cooked every time I entered the indies. I'm grateful to the Qualbert team for making me feel like such a welcome member. I'm grateful to Untitledgaming.net for giving my videos a platform.

Hail Mary is the ultimate risk/reward play. The receiver has a 50% chance of instantly being walloped and super fumbling the ball! Luckily I kept Rewind enabled so I could try again :) Wishlist and Play the Demo: 🌋 store.steampowered.com/app/3958090?... 🏈 #indiegame #srpg #football #lava
