005 How Games Find Themselves
This week's blogpost is about how games change, grow, and find themselves during development. A game doesn't always start by looking how it's released.
Games don't come fully formed from a designer's head. They take twists and turns as they grow towards full release. W1 is still growing, but you can take a peek at where it's been in our latest blog post. www.wildetchingsstudio.com/blog/w1-deve...

004 W1's Engine
Today's blog post talks about the engine that our project W1 is using. Picking the correct engine is an important step in the game dev process.
Someone was curious about what engine we're making W1 in so we made a post about it. Picking the correct engine is important and can make development easier or harder based on your choice. Find out ours: www.wildetchingsstudio.com/blog/w1-deve...

I didn't know this feed existed, thanks for showing it to me. If other people are posting their WIP then it must not be too much of a negative drive for people. Now to figure out which part of the game to post. π€

Question for #IndieDev, do you think posting about a mechanic or level that is only in it's greybox/prototype phase is worth doing? Do you think it turns away too many people because it looks ugly/unfinished?

002 Playtests
Wild Etchings Studio's first game W1 had it's first playtest recently. In this blog we go over some of the results of the playtest and what we're doing to respond to that feedback.
Game development is hard and sometimes you need a gut check on how your game is progressing. That's why we ran a playtest for our first game W1 recently. Read about how it went in our blog post. www.wildetchingsstudio.com/blog/w1-deve...
