Well, we finally announced Eufloria 2: store.steampowered.com/app/4415060/... My nerves are shredded but I'm relieved. "Ambient intergalactic floral conquest" "Full contact space gardening" Will come with a cool godot-based editor. #indiegames #cozy #rts #strategy #4x #godot

Excuse the placeholder graphics but this is going to be soooooo much fun. Abuse evolution-tech to splice completely different entity type components onto a new franken-unit, with scary/funny emergent properties. #eufloria2 #indiegames #gamedesign #gamedev #rts #strategy #4x #procedural #evolution

Tired of all the Next Fest drama? Eufloria 2 is in development & we just kicked off an AMA here: sh.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/c... Come and ask questions or make fun of me. :-) #indiegames #strategy #procedural #ama #rts #4x #gamedev #kimchi

To distract myself from a nasty cold/flu. Patrick Tam’s “the Sword” was TERRIFIC. Next, Charles Bronson in “10 to Midnight”. A film I wanted to see since spotting the poster in the local vhs store in the 80s. #hongkong #cinema #wuxia #slasher #newyork #80s

For those who no longer believe that budget -friendly yet high-quality food can be had in central London; the answer is Maoz on Old Compton Street. Also great vegan options! No idea how they manage it, but there it is. #london #food #falafel #meze

Visual Scripting Lua code, with Eufloria 2's Godot based editor. Stupidly forgot to record mouse pointer, so it is not super easy to see what I do. But basically set up a logic chain where an asteroid is revealed to the player. #indiegames #godot #programming #Lua #gamedesign #rts #gamedev

Thanks so much Liam. Appreciate the interest! I'm always retrospectively surprised at my own verbosity, ahem. ;-)

An extremely worthy cause here. Support your local indie!

it's bandcamp friday and i have three new albums out (last two exclusive to the site) one direct sale equals thousands and thousands of streams and makes a huge difference to a musician's life thank you for your support always spacerecordings.bandcamp.com/music

Eufloria 2 tree growth test. Now with added sway, and much larger tree sizes. Still completely procedural, like almost everything in the game. :-) #rts #indiegames #procedural #graphics #gamedev #sim #trees #4x

We have been making all kind of games, indie or otherwise, for a long time, and that allows us to share a lot of stuff. Including on the many pitfalls that are out there haha. We also celebrate OTHER people's work, not just our own.

Prrrrrettty. Added way too many asteroids to this test level for a new Eufloria Classic mod. Tempted to let the bots slug it out to see what the performance is... #gamedev #modding #rts #indiegames #strategy #games

Part 2 is dropping soon and is chocka with great stories, unknown facts and insights. Not just on movie tie-ins but games as well. Can't stress enough how lovely it was to do this interview with the man. #sci-fi #scifi #games #videogames #starwars #startrek #alien #author #books.

Recently @rudolfkremers.bsky.social had the honour of interviewing legendary sci-fi author Alan Dean Foster to talk about his inspirations, an unreleased Alien sequel, and MUCH more! #Alien #Scifi #Author #Books

Hey all, we shipped an anniversary edition of our indie RTS Eufloria last week: store.steampowered.com/app/3254570/... New game modes & music, free/dirt cheap to owners of the 2009 game. Unlisted for years; this new version fixes that & brings modding back. :-) #indiegames #rts #strategy #games

This was a really interesting thing to work on. Still see many games struggle with RTS & other pc-centric controls to console/joypad, so we decided to share what we learned, design docs & build included, so other people can benefit from our efforts. #gamedev #gamedesign #rts #indiegames

In this episode of Looking Back at the Future, we revisit a 2019 presentation @rudolfkremers.bsky.social made that challenged one of the biggest myths in game design: that real-time strategy controls can’t work on a console gamepad. #IndieGameDev #IndieGames #RTS www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9sp...

This turned out really well. I love that there are super committed gamers out there who put together these kinds of deep dives in their spare time. This project was quite a ride btw. Many stories that I can't share in public haha. #gamedev #gameshistory #playstation #retrogames

In 2003, @rudolfkremers.bsky.social was lead level designer on a stealth game called Stolen. To say it had a "storied" development is a huge understatement, so when @freeckycake.bsky.social reached out about a video essay they were working on we were more than happy to help out. #IndieGameDev

We've been posting videos from our Game Invention channel, and recently we kicked off the revamped newsletter, but what exactly IS Game Invention? Here's a blog post from @rudolfkremers.bsky.social answering that question, as well as why we created Game Invention in the first place. #IndieGames

Evil Laser Pod Devastates Asteroid Seedlings. Always fun when one's game creates these little unexpected scenarios. #gamedev #indiegames #games

While working on levels for Eufloria Classic, @rudolfkremers.bsky.social discovered something really interesting about one of the asteroids... Try the Eufloria Classic demo here! - store.steampowered.com/app/3254570/... #IndieGameDev #IndieGames #VideoGames

Made a new Eufloria Classic mod where players CAN control other empires, BUT they also act independently, so they will fight & expand. Their base is always safe, so no team will "win". This allows constant "gardening" & it's fun to tinker with or just watch. #cozy #games #indiegames #leveldesign
