[1/7] 🧵

Hey. Been quite a while, huh? Unfortunately, things haven't been going great and i wanted to make a post about why there has been no updates.

P.S. this will be yet another "me whining" post, but i wanted to at least explain things, so, sorry and thank you.

Hey #PortfolioDay!

We're Zero Thoughts Studio - a small indie game studio making games like "Worm Regards" - a 3D bug collecting sandbox with charming NPCs and amazing story

and "King of the croak" - a hardcore precision platformer about a frog that wanted to climb the tallest mountain!

I. AM. BACK! I'M SO BACK!!!👀

Oh boy oh boy. what was initially planned as a period of a week or two turned into 33 days of beuracracy, going from hostel to hostel and a bunch of unplanned spendings 💀

I got a home, internet and my PC.

Hello everyone!

I am moving out.

Even though not much work has been posted during this very hard period of going through bureaucracy hell and extra work, i am very sad to say that my side of things will be paused for the period.

Hopefully i return soon ❤️✈️

Hello everyone! Been a hot minute, eh?
Sorry for the absence, i really needed a break from extra work, due to rising stress from IRL stuff.

a TLDR pf all that happened: I wrote ~10k lines of boring code, but i do have news for future~

Hello beautiful peeps!

This day finally came! I present to you - THE LEGENDARY drop VFX! Orange didn't suit it since it was blending in with some current (and future) environments, so its sTyLiSh ReD~

Yippee!

Hey hey everyone!

Couple days ago I teased something crawling in the grass. I guess it is time to finally reveal it, eh?

This little thing is called a "Heartbeetle", a japanese rhino beetle with a heart shaped body! Isn't it awesome?

I am happy to finally announce a game we've been working on for the last month:🧵

"Worm Regards" is a semi-open world bug catching collection multiplayer cosy game that will allow you to venture in the beautiful world filled with a bunch of collectable bugs!

Days go by, things get more and more interesting and the game is starting to feel more like a game, rather than a sandbox with a player character, although, still raw. So how about a little teaser?

I wonder what's hiding in the grass there?

Sup everyone!

For the last couple of days i've been mostly busy with organising things, real life and many other *boring* things.

Anyways, this is where its starting to get interesting! Here's a Rare loot drop VFX! Hope you like it.

Today is meme break. I'm cooking up some VFX ;)

I actually was discussing me working on this game with my colleague and he said "Yeah, i bet you have a whole lot of bugs in this game". At first i was angry cause how dare he doubt my skills but then i got the joke...

Hey #PortfolioDay! A bit late, but better than never!

My name's lemostick, and I'm a co-founder and CEO of this small dream-inspired indie studio called "Zero Thoughts"!

We're doing a bunch of wonderful things, and i'd love for you to check some of our stuff out ;)
April 9, 2025 at 12:12 PM
I guess you can call me Santa, cause for the next couple days i'm gonna be bombing you with VFXes i'm gonna be making.

Today i bring you a common "loot drop". Of course there are different rarities and i'll post them soon, don't worry!

What, do you think, happened to this little bug feller? Please ignore the fact that its a cube, we're working on this.

You can let us know what you think and view a bunch of exclusive content on our discord server! - discord.gg/e837QyPR2S

Here's some old WiP for Worm Regards while im still finishing cooking stuff.

Before and after!

It honestly was a hell of a long way coming from our first visual asset integration, to what we have right now...

Thanks Polyart for help❤️

Yeah, in the center of that white wire sphere is a small cube running around in the grass. What for, - you may ask? No idea - I blatantly lie to your face >:)

Anyways, i'll probably announce what the hell we've been doing pretty soon, stay tuned! ❤️

Here's a funny haha meme for you while im working!

For me, playtesting usually reveals major bugs, i try to replicate them (like 20 times), i fix them, playtesting isn't showing any bugs, i give the game to my friends and

THERE ARE OLD BUGS AS WELL AS NEW ONES AAAA

Yeah... this doesn't look ominous at all haha...

But anyways, here's a very bad processed screenshot of what i'm working on rn:
The environment in the (previous) question:

Its... ok, but i just can't do mountains, on god

#indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #3D #Unity
March 16, 2025 at 9:31 PM
Yo, not to brag but... I am ASS at environment design lmaooo

I guess i need to go outside or travel more or whatever, cause this child of the mountains forgot how nature looks apparently

Does anyone know some good vids about #3D #environmentart i could study up on???

#indiedev #indiegame #gamedev
March 16, 2025 at 8:42 PM
Sup, everyone!

So i've been tinkering, tweaking, looking for alternatives and whatnot, cause i didn't really like how the look of the game was turning out and...

For now, i'm just gonna say: something good is coming...
