Hi! I'm Sebastian, a programmer making creative management games with @texelraptor.com I've worked on Parkitect and our current project is Croakwood, a game about building a nice town for little frogs 🐸 I really like making games with lots of tiny people running around 😅 #indiedev #gamedev

one thing you learn from making a lot of things is that the nitty gritty details, the millions of tiny invisible decisions, ARE the art. The "higher level ideas" are not nearly as important or interesting

When a menu has a neat little tween. Or a character has a funny little animation. Somebody out there spent days making that little detail perfect. And when you’re playing a game you’re blasted with like 50 of these little things per minute. Games are so rich with human life! It’s awesome!!!

I wrote a devlog post about an unexpected performance problem we encountered www.texelraptor.com/blog/croakwo...

THIS WINTER: Croakwood is a relaxed and creative town building simulation game about frogs, nature, and an ancient forest. Coming to Early Access this Winter! #WholesomeDirect2026 🐸 Guide the growth of the community 🏡 Design and decorate 👀 Learn about the frogs

I wrote a new devlog post about how we're generating the world for Croakwood www.texelraptor.com/blog/croakwo...

We announced our game, City of None, more officially! check it out!

You might have noticed that we love frogs, and we think that you might love frogs too. Thus we have decided to take the bold leap to become a fully frog-centric development studio. As a first important step we're officially rebranding Parkitect to Frogitect. We hope you enjoy this new direction 🐸

Hey hey I can finally share what I've been up to which was creating concepts and models for the Dinos & Dynasties Parkitect DLC! 💖 Had a blast working on these, we hope you all enjoy! :D (tried making a quick shrine to display my Minotaur son 😆) (ps: Parkitect is on sale, 60% off!! 👀)

Surprise, we just released a new deco-focused DLC for Parkitect! Dinos & Dynasties adds two new themes (Dinos and Ancient World) and three new attractions. There's also a free update that adds a cheat menu for sandbox mode. Get Dinos & Dynasties here: store.steampowered.com/app/3919200/...

Finally reached my favorite part of development: polishing the object placement animations 😊

Reminded of this important document, as true today as it was TEN years ago. Entitled "Look, I made you a little graph about Game Development" #gamedev #indiedev

We recently worked on peeking into houses a lot, making sure it's working smoothly and adding some animations for polish 🏡 #gamedev #indiedev

If you are a UI designer [or lover], have a blast with the Game UI Database. www.gameuidatabase.com A lot of inspiration well organized in categories like Buttons, Menus, Items, etc. You can search by game genre, aesthetic, color code, among others. A must have on the bookmarks. #gamedev #ui
