I'm quite pleased with how well Gun-Dog has done in the winter sale.

As a small #indiedev, money == time, and every day makes a difference.

It's cold and you've got what I need to stay warm.

Starting off 2026 with a Hatch-It piece! #Butzart

Let’s take back control from the almighty algorithm…

We choose every game by hand, playing them first and backing what deserves attention

Sometimes that means big names. More often it means the smallest, strangest, most niche projects you’ve never heard of

All chosen by real humans who care!

A friend is venting to me about some indie person saying more indies should make games "for mainstream appeal and success" and it's just so funny because not even the big rich companies designed to make things for mainstream appeal and success can barely do it ike come on man

During development, it's very important to have your priorities straight.

I will protect this adorable creature until my last breath.
Finalized character portrait for Crystal. Plenty enough to do some fun dialogue tests. All thanks to @tg-marlo.bsky.social !

I'm so tired of the insincerity in modern writing

I've just been viciously emasculated by an error message.

How's your day going?

This'll be the finalized character portrait for Yurushi. We're very lucky to have @tg-marlo.bsky.social, that's for sure - she turned out perfectly. <3

sharing an office with my girlfriend is great because I get to sit here and grin like a cheshire cat while she's in a call about being given a promotion

A tip for aspiring game devs:

Don't.

If reading that dissuades you, you probably don't have the stomach for it

Got UI and sound effects implemented. Hopefully this small showcase gets the idea of the *basic* TRPG gameplay loop across, but there'll be way more toys and mechanics implemented later for sure. Melee and E-warfare in particular. #GameDev #IndieDev #godot #Devtober #Mecha #lowpoly #Heavensfall

Crystal is the perfect character to introduce the Bond mechanics for us. She's practically Yurushi's already best friend by the time Heavensfall takes place, aside from being her maintenance technician. She's...enthusiastic, about her job. #digitalart #indiedev #yuri #Heavensfall

Benefit of having a messy desk:

Using empty mugs to visualise 3D space when working on AI targeting.

They even have a handle for which way they're pointing, it's perfect.

Is it even possible to buy a dumb TV anymore? I just want something that displays moving pictures sent to it via HDMI

Our first two characters, courtesy of @tg-marlo.bsky.social ! These two are inseparable - a prototype robot girl and her maintenance engineer/best friend - which is good because #Heavensfall is as much about relationships as it is about giant robots. #indiedev #mecha #yuri #digitalart #robotgirl

The basic enemy AI is working nicely now. The presentation isn't pretty, but having the functional bones put together is still incredibly exciting - especially since even those basic elements are surprisingly engaging. #indiedev #gamedev #heavensfall #mecha #godot #lowpoly #mech
