Just stumbled upon this and it looks just my kind of thing. Will be checking out the demo later.

Love the look of this character. That's, what has drawn me in to check this one out. Realizing now as a #gamedev I should be analysing exactly what makes me, and others, click the link. Any suggestions?

Maybe, I just clicked on the "Release Demo" button for The Abbess Garden and maybe you can play it now ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

I have been playing the beautiful Spring Falls by @sparsegamedev.bsky.social for inspiration. Obviously some thematic similarities, but it also has mechanic involving making connections. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Still prototyping. The idea is that flowers convert sunlight into energy which is transferred into the circuits of ancient machines. Playing with different ways of visualising that and mechanics around blocking/unblocking the sunlight. #godotengine #indiedev #gamedev #blender3d #godot #indiegame

Great looking #Godot project here. Will be following this one closely.

Well this is exciting!! I love the idea of being able to do a bit of modeling and animation work on my iPad in a coffee shop. Can't wait to see how it comes together #blender3d #indiedev

Time to get back on the horse!

This weekend I'll be at Nottingham Games Festival (www.nottsvge.com) showing off some new modes in Super Spelling Ducks!

Been a long time since I painted miniatures but this makes me want to get back into it. Think I would have to go with some kind of showy custom paint job. Very cool!

They look awesome! Just discovered this account and am trying to work out what this body of work is from. Seems to be a heap of lore behind it. Book? RPG? Portfolio? Whatevs, love it anyway.

Yeah another vote for the CRT scan line effect. Looking great!

Looking really nice. Is there a demo yet?

How's the performance? What kind of hardware did you capture the footage on?

Great look! Shall check out the demo to see how it plays.

Nice! Not in need of vast grassy planes myself right now, but very interested to understand the techniques behind this.

I freely admit that this is an ugly mess. But it is also the very first step in prototyping a new way of interacting with plants in my #indiegame #shorticulture. Hopefully this will come together over the next few days and I will share something more meaningful. #indiedev #godotengine

I need to work on my tooling, so I'm always keen to see what other #godot users have done. Looking forward to playing with this one.

I have zero context on this, but I just love the animation style. Hopefully there will be more of this soon.
