I've been playtesting and giving feedback for a really excellent puzzle game over the past few months, and it's just released on Steam! If you like pure puzzle games with way more depth than the simple mechanics imply, I'd really recommend giving Flecto a try: store.steampowered.com/app/4143420/...

I made a stupid gif. Anyway play #slaythespire2

FLECTO IS OUT NOW!! Bounce bullets to shatter targets in this puzzle game I've spent the past year on! Thanks for the support over all this time, everyone! I'm absolutely thrilled to finally share this with you all, and I truly hope you enjoy ❤️ #solodev #puzzlegame

I have good news this time! I've finally worked out some issues with Steam and had my game build approved, which means... Flecto will be releasing on October 23rd (for real this time)! I still can't wait to share this little game with you all. Thanks for all of the support ❤️ #solodev #puzzlegame

Risk of Rain 2 demake #pixelart #art #riskofrain2 #ror2

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

@kenney.nl is an amazing human being that has provided the indie scene an invaluable amount of assets without the expectation of being paid. His efforts are important in an age where developers can be un-creative and ask a machine to create for them. Remember: keep making personal, beautiful games!

now go forth and build a fuckload of bike lanes plz

Yeah ok, maybe this feature isn't so pointless after all 😍

@unity.com and @epicgamesstore.bsky.social's recent push into AI is damaging to the creativity that empowers the games industry. We Indies rejects the notion that such tools and services have a place in the industry and our community at large. We hold a firm stance that AI has no place in games.

Risk of Rain 2 pretty much ranks as one of my greatest games of all time at this point. Them DLCs be slapp'n!

Just found out I have superhuman hearing in the worst way possible. My neighbors installed an ultrasonic wildlife deterrent speaker and it emits the most unholy, demonic, migraine-inducing stomach-churning high-pitched whine at ALL TIMES I am at my wits' end

Continuing work on this hookshot game, you can now pull things, pull things off other things, bounce off walls, dash, sprint, and more. A lot of this may not make the final cut (or may need changes), but that's why we prototype! (Trail included to show and test movement) #gamedev #indiedev

I can think of SO MANY studios that NEED to read this thread

gamedev sounds like it's gonna be making cool mechanics and fun stuff nobody tells you that it's also going to be -swapping in a new font for 2 hours -figuring out if you can delete an object in your hierarchy (you can't) -testing the same thing 50 times to fix a bug

Are you a solo developer or a small team working on indie game projects? You're welcome on weindies.org. #gamedev #indie #weindies

Finished up zipping, pulling, and auto-targeting prototypes. Right now the playground doesn't do much with them (just enough to make sure they work), but the code is modular and extensible so it's super easy to build on this baseline and do some really juicy stuff! #gamedev #indiedev #prototype

Continuing to work on that prototype, the grappling hook is... "working..." but there are some weeeeeird bugs that I only have a vague idea of how to fix. Good thing bugfixing is so much fun :) #gamedev #indiedev #prototype

Help Catz VS Ratz beat the AI Slop! 🐈 Message From Snoozy Kazoo's own Alexis: Hello everyone! I have made an entry for the most recent s&box gamejam, and I'm close to being in the top 5 but I'm currently being beat by AI slop that is botting votes, and I need your help! sbox.game/stellawisps/...

I made an EP for 30th anniversary of Persona: Revelations!! I collaborated with @veegsredds.bsky.social who did the art and video editing!! Go check it out 😎 youtu.be/VOwza3TDOZY

Spent the day prototyping an aim snapping system. It turned out a lot juicier than I expected, but definitely revealed a few issues with the camera! Having this system will help inform level design as well as several other mechanics, so it was important to get it nailed down early.

as a lesbian working in the game industry, i refuse to be seen as a fascination or an aesthetic to others for wanting to place people like me in the things i have a hand in creating. to view it as simple pandering is aggravating to no end. let us fucking exist without scrutiny.

Stoked to share that you can now play Mini Motorways in the language unique to our whenua. :) More to come for Te Wiki o te Reo Māori sooooon!

Happy HollowKnight Silksong Anniversary! #pixelartㅤㅤ been cooking this for a few months ✨

There are so many video games and I am but mortal

Thinking of writing an Andor AU fic where Luthen is an exhausted chicken farmer and his iconic line is "I have hens... everywhere"

just know that if you engage with harry potter in any form i'm judging you

This is a PR stunt to get you to watch the new Harry Potter series. Fraud.

So while yes I'm obviously entering a giveaway I also want to say that this show is legitimately the single best indie animated series out there, period. Go watch Monkey Wrench. It's really, REALLY good.

This city is so anti-bike, it's kinda wild lol.

-and that's not ALL! We got a little something coming to celebrate the Netflix-ening! See more this Friday~ #monkeywrench

Best follow notification of my life, awesome gimmick account :)

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.

ayoo any #roguelite fans here on bluesky? Looking for some playtesting feedback on an early draft of a roguelite game mode for my co-op drawing game Chicken Scratch. Really looking to get some input on some new systems/mechanics I've been putting together. Anyone potentially interested?

There has been a recent influx of new followers on this account. So I added a silly Easter egg to my site: everyone who follows this account receives a little generated creature inspired by Space Invaders :)! Hope you like your invader. gotibo.fr/bsky-invaders

Normally I'd say "with all due respect" but in this case, none is given. Absolutely the fuck not.

Touching up the edit project page :) The first version of weindies.org will be really simple: - Creating a profile and editing it - Sharing a project. - Listing projects depending on whether they are released or open for playtest.

BUGSCRAPER IS OUT! Rampage through a bug-filled corporation and settle the score with your boss in this co-op or solo roguelike shooter, now on Steam and itch! s.team/a/2957130 #indiegames
