Super Exciting Announcement: #Steam page for my multiplayer falling sand game is now LIVE at store.steampowered.com/app/3816900/... Announce Trailer: www.slowrush.dev/signs-trailer 2 years of hard work, but now the real work begins :) #fallingsand #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiedev #gamedev

Signs of Danger will be at PAX Aus a week from now! Come to booth 62 in the "PAX Rising" area and build your own ridiculous weapons - alone or with co-op with friends! #pax #paxaus #indiegame #roguelite @paxaus.bsky.social

Cut up playtest footage to get a new lil trailer for my roguelite Might be a little long, WDYT? (I just have a hard time saying No to explosions) #indiedev #gamedev #roguelite #roguelike

Testing out lightning rework in my game Grenade has a modifier on it so it has a chance to emit lightning The word "Signs" conducts electricity because it is made of metal #gamedev #indiedev #sandbox #roguelite

Maybe a little too much upwards force #gamedev #indiedev #bug

I made a UI for my #noita -like and it was bad. I made it slightly less bad. That is worth devlog words! www.slowrush.dev/news/socketi... #indiedev #gamedev #roguelite

POUND SAND demo is out now on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/4740620/... Retro factory and digging goodness #automation #factory #indiegame #retro #gaming

If you're in #Perth , come to Tokyo Alley on May 9th or 10th to playtest Signs of Danger in person! real soldiers aren't afraid of bright pastel colours

Ported my #noita -like from #macroquad to #SDL and #WGPU over the last 2 months And multi-threaded the heck out of it too. GIF-heavy devlog: www.slowrush.dev/news/porting... #indiedev #gamedev

So my #noita -like is 100% deterministic (for multiplayer netcode) Hacked up time travel as a debug tool - so awesome being able to replay backwards w/ full debug info and explore alternative timelines! New thought: how about a "rewind 5 secs when you die" perk #indiedev #gamedev #roguelite

Reworked character controller on my #noita -like to run directly against the falling sand pixels No kinematic bodies for movement -> 20% speed up! Looking forward to spamming a bucket load of enemies now #indiedev #gamedev #roguelite

Added this "chaos mode" to my #noita -like roguelite for benchmarking the falling sand physics 60 times a second it spawns some material, triggers an explosive, spawns or kills an enemy, etc. It's actually surprisingly fun? (captured in slo-mo-dbg build) #gamedev #indiedev #fallingsand #roguelite

Graphics programming is such a weird beast Even when you stuff it up you get cool results Here the radiance cascades lighting for my #noita -like suddenly gained a disco mode, but only at certain screen resolutions #gamedev #indiedev #shaders

Started trying to solve a minor bug of players getting mixed up Ended up making my own gamepad-compatible UI framework with animations and localization: www.slowrush.dev/news/uis-pla... Taffy-powered, iced-inspired: immediate API, retained UI under the hood (tree diffing) #gamedev #indiedev #rust

Accidentally got a parallax terrain effect for my #noita -like Except it's in front of terrain instead of behind it Definitely file under "shader accidents not worth keeping" #gamedev #indiedev #shaders

Our Steam page is live now! Welcome to Zeroth, a post-life roguelike adventure where you guide fallen adventurers through the 0th circle of Haell to find closure. Wishlist here: store.steampowered.com/app/4062680/... New trailer: youtu.be/nVJ7-g5xjzs #indiedev #gamedev #roguelike #indiegame

It’s finally time to… Unleash the ✦⁺₊✩GIRL POWER✩⁺₊✦ Don’t Stop, Girlypop! is officially OUT NOW!!!! You better be ready, because this sh❤t is serious 👇 https://bit.ly/45CRvme

New devlog exploring my equiv to #noita wandcrafting With new playable web build - feedback welcome, hit me with your hard words! www.slowrush.dev/news/signcra... #indiedev #gamedev #roguelite #devlog

When you give a #noita player access to your game's version of wandcrafting, but you haven't actually balanced it yet #gamedev #indiedev #roguelite

My equiv of #noita 's wandcrafting is coming along I directly show the relationships of what Signs can trigger other Signs, which is hopefully clearer to players than Noita's wand draw rules. Force directed tree was too springy so trying out Reinhold-Tillford trees! #gamedev #indiedev #roguelite

Prototyping a new take on my equiv of #noita 's wandcrafting. Instead of a linearish wand with insanely complicated draw rules for spells, maybe I just directly show the relationships of what Signs can trigger other Signs? This tree is a bit too springy though! #gamedev #indiedev #roguelite

Signs of Danger by @slow-rush.bsky.social is an online & couch co-op physics-sandbox roguelite where game-breaking synergies, deadly chain reactions, and accidental friendly fire are all guaranteed! Watch the announcement trailer:
