Game Puzzle Review!! Launching spikey porcupines in the air - Ground pounds aren't just for the player! Beavers can too! Porcupines can stick to walls & ceilings. #indiegamedev #solodev #dog #husky #zoomies

For sure! Excited to see where it goes :) Love seeing different takes on puzzle games, especially with turned based action

Lol right?! It's so indicitive of the bubble, a promise yet paid, promises for THE BEST THING... just. you. wait... meanwhile, people can make games now, today even! The tools are there, just need the grit to make it happen and maybe a strong sense of play. ๐Ÿ’œ

This is great though! Also nice progress! I think it's going to be an importance part of the dev landscape going forward as devs WIP in the open, so people can see the process. It's not intuitive for people to have "dev goggles" when looking at early art but hoping other will :)

Lol love this! When the engine logo belies the game XD I'll have to keep an eye out for what you're working on!

Otters Devs Unite ๐Ÿ’œ! I think you have good point about devs starting out from school into the industry, using a heavy hitter engines 3D/2D engines like UE or FB is so valuable and worth the work to learn. I guess after 15 years in the industry I was looking for a simpler shake up for me ๐Ÿ’œ

Glad it works well for you! Excited to see what you make in it!
I prefer UE5 over Frostbite, it was released to the public and not kept proprietary like FB, UE5 got a lot of quality of life added to it. Id work in in UE5 if in larger teams again. Personally theres something about GMS2 I love.

Steam NextFest had an absurd amount of demos for you to play, and everyone is abuzz about a lot of them, but here are three games that I played that I think you should also check out. #indiegames #videogames #steamnextfest #bighops #irenethewindow #noplayersonline #smallstreamer #gaming

Worked in Frostbite for nearly a decade with BioWare & EA. I went hard for simplicity with more control after that with GameMaker. Enjoying it so far. #indiegamedev #solodev #GameMaker #Frostbite

A screenshot of a 2D game that shows a blue wizard holding a staff that is lighting up the area around him, revealing wombats, mushrooms, rocks, and other resources.

Finally! I took a screenshot of the game! ๐Ÿ˜€ What do y'all think about the lighting/dithering effect?
