Game development tip!

If you’re unsure which direction to take your project, try making Halo 3. That game was very good.

The other day we released a major update for Echoes of the End, introducing a ton of new things and improving even more things. If you haven't given it a try already, now is a pretty good time for it as its 40% off on steam!
If you've already played it, I'd love to hear what you thought about it

If you haven't checked it out, the game I worked on for the past 3 years or so was released last week. Very proud of the game we made and more eyes on it would always be nice.
We've had a bit of a rocky launch due to some performance bits which have now been mostly patched out, check it out tho!

Call for a voice actor!

We’re looking to cast a female actress for our next game. Vocal age 25-35, Northern England accent, preferably Mancunian, incl. Pakistani and Indian Mancunian accents.

That’s you? Then send a sample to info@inklestudios.com, marked “casting call”.

Paid gig, ofc

Fire Exit by ThorGameDev Available for Windows

Made a little entry to the @ludumdare.com game jam over the weekend with @thorpalsson.bsky.social @hurpno.bsky.social
And some great music and sounds from Meithius. If you are into bizarre horroresque games, give it a try!

I try not to think about how many things I create with the prefix "Temp" that end up being a permanent fixture

Are those bunnies killable though, making all of them visible for a short time and seeing the entire thing fall apart once you start culling critters would make for an interesting day

it does become somewhat easier to stop playing eventually. And by eventually I mean after you have done literally everything in the game like I did.. And I still like to pick it up just to drive around really, the vibes are just too good

But I only made the really cool parts, not the parts you hate. If you hate any part of the game it was actually @grobnoth.bsky.social that did those parts

In Iceland we still actively use the word Þing(Thing) but it's used for very specific err.. things. Sounds incredibly awkward in this context
