🚀 THE PLAYTEST IS LIVE!! 🚀 I woke up today to over 100 of you waiting to join the Cosmic Castaway playtest - and I sincerely want to say thank you. If you’ve requested access, check Steam now - it’s open! #indiegame #Gamedev #solodev #unity3d #pcgaming #steam

Steam optimization and the social media algorithm machine burnt me out pretty hard so I decided that I am building a game for me. This project is Caves of Qud inspired and its only going to be playable on my website 😁 #indiegame #Gamedev

Super stoked about the windows 95 themed website that I created for Vinciware.com! Been diving deep into the indie web lately, and honestly… this feels like the future. Owning your space, building weird/cool things, and keeping the web personal again.

The best way to make a great game is to play great games — so I’ve started a new blog category for reviews of the games I’m playing. 🎮 It’s a tool for me to look back on. Maybe it’ll be useful or to you too!😁 Pokémon Yellow is up first! (link in bio) #Pokemon #Nintendo #indiegame #Gamedev

My friend @peteplaysthegames.bsky.social helped playtest Cosmic Castaway and put together this extremely entertaining playthrough video! I know I am biased, but I think he is such an entertaining Youtuber! 😁 youtu.be/ESDi8yBwAeA?... #indiegame #Gamedev #steam

What I learned my Steam playtest: Cosmic Castaway has strong ideas—but I jumped the gun on full development. I should’ve nailed the core gameplay loop first. Back to prototyping internally for a much stronger version. Huge thanks to everyone who joined the playtest!😁 #indiegame #Gamedev

Check out the new Graveyard! Working on some final touches and then I will have the Playtest updated to include this Halloween level!🎃 #indiegame #Gamedev

Halloween is my absolute favorite! When October rolled around I jumped at the thought of making themed levels for Cosmic Castaway.🎃👻 I'll be updating the playtest with one of these themed levels this week! Let me know what you think! 😁 #indiegame #Gamedev

Obligatory #ScreenshotSaturday post! Tweaked the level select flow based on your feedback - faster, cleaner, and way less confusing. #indiegame

Honestly, I kind of liked it before I fixed it 😂 Working on something spooky! 🎃👻 #indieGame #Gamedev #unity3D #pcgaming #Halloween2025 #solodev #Steam

Playtest Update #2 🚀 Over 140 of you have signed up to playtest Cosmic Castaway! It's a surreal feeling knowing people are playing my creation (even in its current buggy state). Based on your feedback... I fixed the bridges! 🌉 #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #unity3d #steam #pcgaming

Playtest Update #1 🚀 Huge thanks to everyone who completed the Playtest Survey! One of the top requests was clearer tutorials—so I just pushed a patch with improvements. Steam should now let you update the build 😁🎮 #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #unity3d #steam #pcgaming

Found myself in a flow state while play testing today! Love seeing these little colonies become self sufficient! 😁 #indiegame #solodev #steam #Gamedev #pcgaming #unity3d #blender #screenshotsaturday

I dont know how... but I already have 30 people waiting to playtest! Just working out some final bugs and then I'll make it public! 😁🎉 #indiegame #Gamedev #solodev #steam

Our newborn was particularly fussy this week so I only have a small (but important!) update to show! A crafting restraint system the prevents your from placing buildings where they shouldn't go! 😁 #indiegame #Gamedev #PCGaming #Unity3D #steam

2 steps forward, 1 step back. I had to do a complete overhaul on the Electric Grid system, but I am happy to say everything is back in working order 😁 #indiegame #Gamedev #pcgaming #unity3d

You can now craft a postal building and assign a crewmember to deliver collected resources directly to you!😁 This will be especially helpful if you are out in the field tending to your defenses. 🛡️ #indiegame #Gamedev #pcgaming #unity3d #wishlistWednesday

Do I still get points for #screenshotsaturday if I post at 11:45pm? 😂 The world is really coming together! #indiegame #Gamedev #pcgaming #unity3d
