A little about my roguelike deckbuilder -- Drill Keeper!

Each planet brings new challenges and objectives, rewarding you as you dig deeper. You’ll carve paths to control enemy swarms, uncover resources, and adapt to the unique layout of each dig site.

As a dwarf.

In Drill Keeper:

You’ll start with a simple deck: cards for buildings, buffs, and enemy effects. As you dig through planets, gather more from treasure drops. Unlock new cards for future runs, crafting unique strategies each time — whether it’s for defense, economy, or raw power.

Just wrapped up my daily rounds of additions to the starter packs, lists, and feeds.

Also, I've already discovered a wild collection of devs and games to which I'm pretty sure I'll lose entire weekends. (My backlog, please forgive me.)

If you'd like to be added to either collection, just tag me!
I've assembled a new Indie Strategy Game, Dev & Publisher Starter Pack & Feed.

If you're an indie game dev and want to be added, just respond! Repost to share it with others.

I'm working on a roguelite action game (@reignbreaker.bsky.social) and wanted to connect with other games to help boost each other up! 💪

In Drill Keeper, you start with a small deck that grows as you dig up treasures and collect supply drops.

Completing objectives unlocks new cards for future runs.

You can focus on boosting abilities, controlling enemy movement, or maximizing damage output to hold off the hordes.

Greetings, #GameDev, #Gaming, and all.

We're Minakata Dynamics, and we're working on Whiskerwood.

In Whiskerwood, you build a city for industrious mice, balancing survival under the rule of your cat overlords. Manage production chains and expand your settlements, too!

We're excited to be here.

One of the big focuses is how space works in Whiskerwood.

Since all the cities are built on islands, you have to get creative.

You’ve got limited space, so we’ve really leaned into the idea of verticality.

You’ll build up, into the sky, or down, into the mountains and cliffs.

I’m Denno, a solo game-dev from Hamburg / Germany, and I’ve spent the last 2.5 years working on my first PC-game, Drill Keeper - a project for lovers of small but challenging indie-games :D

Got to join the industry panel giving feedback on first-year game dev student projects at AIE Melbourne. Very fun opportunity!! projects were also very solid, with most work needed in production considerations & the way pitches were structured

It's surreal to look at a social media feed and see real people interacting about their passions and interests.

Please don't change BlueSky.
