🎥 New video out! 🎥
I talk about Endless RPG, the journey behind it, the struggles, the joy and why it became my own Final Fantasy.

Please do wishlist Tales from the #Mabinogion!

This might be the most prominent Welsh mythology-inspired game on the horizon that I can think of.

It's #WishlistWednesday ! Please do add a Wishlist, it's one of the few ways small indie developers have for getting visibility.
Nothing new to share this week, so here's an old clip. Originally a tech test for the surf fx, I ended up keeping the shots in game!

Tales from the Mabinogion @mabinogiongame.bsky.social · Jun 9

#MythologyMonday
Manawydan fab Llŷr is the Welsh cognate of the Irish sea god, Manannán mac Lir. However, although they share linguistic roots and mythic ancestry, their roles diverage sharply across the two traditions. Notably, Manawydan is mortal, in contrast to Manannán's role as a deity.

Taking this advice as a chance to share the amazing game a dear friend of mine developed, Toward Dawn!

It's a fantasy RPG inspired by Welsh mythology, featuring loads of interesting characters and places to explore. Would very much recommend giving it a go ♥️

2010 puzzle-platformer Apple Jack's backstory sees the man with an apple for a head travelling from England to #Wales to rescue his dog from Mount #Snowdon.

Each level is named after a town, with many from the #Welsh counties of Clwyd and Gwynedd featuring in the final portions of the game.

I cannot wait for this game! It goes overlooked, but Withering Rooms and the upcoming Withering Realms are both set in Wales.

Realms is looking incredibly creative!

Set for Early Access on Steam in Q2 2026. Wishlist here: store.steampowered.com/app/3441990/...

Any #Godot users out there, here's something cool for you ⬇️

Niki's Quest Dev @nikisquest.bsky.social · Aug 28

Hey folks I made a #GodotEngine plugin to make 3d scene decoration easier. It's meant to feel like Gridmap but is based on snapping scenes down to a surface instead of to a grid. I'll have it available in my discord server and github in a few days.

@deviserene.bsky.social I saw Toward Dawn in the Tiny Teams event and loved it so much I picked up the full game straight after the demo. I don't even usually like JRPG-style games very much! A lovely thing, thank you for making it.

I want to create a database of EU-based #nsfw games that includes payment infos so people can manually purchase games via wire. No idea if this makes any sense or will work but I want to do something.

Just living is expensive enough, let alone paying for anything for an Indie game.
