Last week was a huge one for us because we also submitted our official notice of incorporation! Keep your fingers crossed for us that the notorious German bureaucracy won't take too long... 😅
How did your week go?

A new dev diary, this time about a concept I made up (that probably already exists): Semi-Automation!

Also, the biggest teaser of project OY yet!

#IronVillage #ProjectOY #devdiary #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #townbuilder #citybuilder
A screenshot from the development of Project OY, an unannounced game under development. A naked & bald pixel art character (well, implied nude) is standing inside a boxy train car, visible from outside the front windshield.

It's Monday again today, which means: weekly recap time!
Something that we learn over and over again is that a game dev has many professions: interior designer, bug hunter, content creator... the list just goes on and never ends!

I probably wouldn't officially start taking questions until later this month or early November, just to give more folks more time to finish the game. I would answer things in the form of a blog post/devdiary (like the one about the music)

How did we come up with the idea of incorporating canine mounts into Kristala? Find out in the 2nd installment of our new Dev Diary series.

Which breeds are YOU hoping to see in game?

We had a video call with a lawyer today and I took all my notes with this pen. A bit unprofessional! But come on, it’s adorable, isn't it? 🦙🫶

I made a critical strike today.
All of the logic, damage calculation and so on.

All that's left is to connect an animation properly. Am I a lazy bum for leaving it for tomorrow?

Day 10! #indiedev #gamedev #SherlockHowlmes #devdiary #oc

Managed to make a system that (will eventually keep track) of all the clues you've collected and then sorts them into rows of 3, with any remainders still being centered! With rope physics taking me weeks, im just happy with stuff working :>
A lil doodle of Wooliam, blueish/greyish fur, purple ears, belly, and arm/leg/tail tips. Hes got big shiny shiny shiny blue eyes

Managed to get a weekly streak of these dev diaries going... it's #61! Looking at the timing of sales so far, plus an excessively cryptic teaser for Project OY.

lunarchippy.games/2025/10/03/d...

#IronVillage #ProjectOY #gamedev #devdiary #indiegamedev #indiedev #steam
A graph of net sales over time: The y axis is net sales (i.e. sales minus refunds), stretching up to 1500, the x axis is time, stretching from mid-March through today. A series of numbers 1-6 annotate the graph, which are explained in the linked dev diary.

Day 9! #indiedev #gamedev #SherlockHowlmes #devdiary

Got quite a few small things done today (not super notable, like reorganising the layout for the note board and stuff) though I did manage to finish the front facing sprites for Wooliam's walk animation! :D shall hopefully get more done tomorrow!
Front facing sprite of Wooliam mid step, his left leg is forward. Blueish/greyish fur with purplish ears, snout and belly, dark blue eyes, and the very end of his purplish tail is visible

Day 7 part 2! #indiedev #SherlockHolwmes #pixelart #art #ocart #devdiary

Super productive day :D finished some annoying programming (see other post) AND started on a walk animation for my favourite wolf boy! Might post a proper gif when he's done cause I love his bouncy ears
5 sprites of Wooliam standing, rotating from the front to behind (front, front right, right, back right, back). He's done in very little detail and done in bright colours (one pink + purple arm + leg, one blue arm + leg, black head, lime eyes and red ears + snout) His ears as slightly bent down (in the middle of a little bounce for his walk cycle)

Day 6 (small one)! #indiedev #gamedev #art #ocart #SherlockHolwmes #devdiary

Didn't have much time to do much today, however the short half hour I had to code, UNITY WOULDN'T LOAD. So have the colour version of that sketch yesterday, and Nova the kitten! She wants to ride on your shoulders
The same gothic vampire-like bat from yesterday, but coloured purple today! Theres also a small anthro kitten, with white fur and wearing a pink dress and tiara. She has her arms reaching out to be picked up. realised this is the first alt I've specified that they're anthro, has like, anyone used the alt text and thought there was a photo realistic wolf in tartan or something D:

In #CarnageCliff there is a unique game mechanic - a hormonal system with 4 hormones that work like in real life. Your #Endorphines increase when running around in a level, increasing your running speed even more. [4/4]

Day 5 (part 2 lol)! #indiedev #gamedev #devdiary #art #ocart

Ended up spending the last bit of my day doing some concept art for the other "major" townsfolk I had in my head :>

Don't got a name for her yet, but a gothic, vampire-esc bat! Who, despite the grumpy face, its actually quite sweet! :3
Concept art of a bat character, she's outlined in purple, has a half buzzcut, and quite a few piercings. She has her arms semi folded, and is holding a cig in her right hand. She looked quite bored or grumpy, and has a single small fang poking out her mouth. She's wearing a sleeveless turtleneck (i think? writing these alts has been a testament to my knowledge of clothing, or lack there of) with a "boob window", and has fishnet sleeves up to her elbows

It seems like when it boils down to the core mechanics, there are only 3 types of games:

🧐 Problem solving (Portal, Among us)
🏅 Perfect lap (Racing games, Mario, CS)
💎 Lottery (Casino games, Diablo)

And of course, overlaps.
