Today I lost my chance to participate in @OTKGamesExpo because of a timezome mixup. Pretty brutal, considering I only got rejections from every other event this year. I WILL tell people about my game one day. If only they knew the kind of trailer I had lined up!

Two days into #gamecityvienna watching dozens of players it takes ONE pedantic guy who points out the input delay... I built in a .2 second input delay a long time ago to better sync with animations, but only lately i realized HOW MUCH .2 seconds is in an action game...

Today I realized a mistake so bad they should take my #gamedev license... #solodev #indiegame

I prepared some deco for my stand this weekend at #GameCityVienna . I had a lot of helpers for that, thanks so much to everyone! #gamedev #indiegame #solodev

I put damage numbers on the player too. For whatever reason, I still observe that it's not clear to some players when they take damage. Also I made a new damage type that doesn't bump you back. #gamedev #indiegame #solodev #mazestalker #screenshotsaturday

It's time to get working on the next menu. As I said before, UI work is the worst work. The functionality is already fully implemented, but making the UI look and feel like this will be a nightmare! #uidesign #gamedev #indiegame #mazestalker #solodev

It's a really weird feeling when I see this as category in an expo sign-up. "Can we have an hour of discussion about this first?"

MazeStalker @mazestalker.bsky.social · 15d

When playing #TrailsInTheSky remake I realized I wanted area names. It's just a little touch that adds a lot of worldbuilding. Was a pain to get working, but what's done is done! #gamedev #indiegame #solodev #mazestalker

I added a lot of new dialogues to the second day in Pucktown! Everything works nicely now and that means we can move on with the adventure! #gamedev #indiegame #solodev #mazestalker #isometric

Right now I'm making all the things that I added to the game fully functional. Eventually I think I will add the second dungeon to the demo too, so you can really play this when it's done! #gamedev #mazestalker #indiegame #solodev #retrogaming

The thing I'm worst with is just putting in the puzzle pieces. It's all written and set up, I just need to copy paste around the text and script-tags and it is eating up my brain... #gamedev #indiegame #solodev #retrogaming #landstalker

I keep forgetting to talk about the games I play. Just finished this old gem. I adore the simplicity and focus at display. In the whole game: One missable ability. One sword upgrade. A couple optional health upgrades. That's it. #gamedev #RETROGAMING #indiegame

For a while LinkedIn would "invite" you to write content for them. It was bizarre to me, why would I train them their AI for free...

MazeStalker @mazestalker.bsky.social · 22d

The league of fortune... It was a strange feeling to work with these characters. On my side, I have been writing stories for them for years now. On the other side, noone who gives a damn about my game ever heard of them! #mazestalker #gamedev #indiegame #solodev

The more I analyze this biz, the more the priorities become clear. Where and when you hit with your trailer is critical to determining the success of a project. Well, I'm on it, piece by piece. #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #mazestalker

Today is one of those days... Full of doubts about what I'm even doing here. 30K wishlists? Yeah right... Nothing I haven't felt before, but I want to say it because it's just part of being a #solodev. Progress: Setting up dialogues for day 2. #gamedev #indiegame

I rarely post anything about my story. People don't seem to care yet and I get it. But the story is secretly the main reason I'm doing this. It's going to be a ride! #gamedev #indiegame #mazestalker #solodev
