Pro tip. When choosing a name for your game. Choose something early in the alphabet, then you'll always be first in lists :) I learned after working on a game called Zombie Vikings at a studio called Zoink Games.

Happy anniversary Alwa's Awakening! It was 8 (!!) years ago we released the game and it's still going strong. On Steam the sales have been steady since since the day we released it and it keeps selling. I would love to make Alwa 3 some day.

Have you played the Alwa's Awakening?

How it is running a social media account for an indie dev studio in 2025.

So @microsoft.com wants me to enter a Customer Contact phone number for us to still have Alwa's Awakening available on Xbox One.

Can't wait for someone to call me when they get stuck on a temple somewhere in the game.

Hello other #gamedevs. Do you keep .com addresses of your game ip:s? We own .com for all our games and it's adding up in costs every year and I'm not sure I should keep them?

All they do is redirect to our company website for Elden Pixels.

As you probably have noticed, we haven’t posted anything on here but that’s because we’ve been really busy. We’re not making an announcement but here’s a screenshot of something that we want to make happen.

Alwa’s Legacy #16bit, 320x224 on Mega Drive. Let us know what you think.

Just sent out the pitch deck for The Prisoning: Fletcher's Quest to 182 publishers! First time for me!
For every like this twee.. bluesky-message gets, one more million USD is added to our development funds!

Unpopular opinion?

Releasing games is better than making games.
I shipped a game (Shadowhand Solitaire) and this is what my task progress bar looks like.

IMAGINE WHAT THIS FEELS LIKE and now try to do it for your game. Good luck!

Invest money in stocks they said. It'll be fun they said. :)

This was taken during my (late) lunch walk. Yes, it's almost dark in Sweden at 2 pm. Still beautiful.

Everyone trying to work out why video games aren’t selling anymore — “Too many games? Prices are too low? Marketing is hard?” — when the answer this time around is actually simple:

The world got *fucked* and no-one has any money

People are struggling to pay bills and rent, let alone buy your game

I don't always make games but when I do, I make them in Powerpoint. Got a crazy idea to try to create a Dungeon Crawler in Powerpoint and the game loop works now. Struggling a bit to create interesting puzzles though :)

(UI is of course temp)

My day lights up when you find a Reddit thread like this about a game me and some friends created.

Hello! My name is Mikael. I'm not a pixel artist and I can't draw at all, but one time I spent like 60 hours making this and it just got 200 upvotes on Reddit.
