The Floodlight Game Jam submission is over. It was really nice to get immersed into the stories of investigative journalists. @b1is.bsky.social and I learned a lot, about game development but also about the world.

We gathered all your votes from Bluesky, Mastodon, TikTok, Loops and Discord and the name most of you resonated with most was... "Where the Ghosts Are Damp". So that's going to be the name of our game. Thanks to everyone who helped us find it! ☺️💦👻 #indiedev #gamedev #devlog

We just shared our #Steam Page for review - we're waiting now to get green light - keeping our fingers crossed that we got all those assets in the right place. I was really surprised to see how many more graphics are needed compared to itch.io

Thanks :) Nights in games are often depicted as scary but I actually love nights, especially while camping in nature, so I tried to give it a more peaceful / magical look 🌙

We're making screenshots for our Steam Page which we will (hopefully) launch next week 😱
In this level, you save canned beans from a storm at night - or , well, you try your best 🍃 #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #devlog

Just released my first Unity asset: a tool that turns text into mumbling voices like in Animal Crossing or Undertale.
If anyone wants a free copy, hit me up. Would love feedback!
