After hitting a wall with my game not looking any "better" for a few months, it's amazing what a new UI does!

Good graphics are so easily let down by awful UI...

From my last playtest I got this from a friend... Very few things motivate me more than little things like this.

Theres still time to jump into the current playtest round if you're keen.

Time for the final playtest of Tales for the Long Nights, before a full demo launch at the end of this month! Exciting times

Im sure that you can make an interesting and nuanced RPG based around interesting and unique fantasy themes, but I'm a simple man.

My game has people in armour with swords, killing goblins...

Sometimes they're classics for a reason.

Indie devs, is it worth having a trailer for my demo specifically or just settling with an older announcement trailer?

โ€ชI spent ages wondering what was missing from my new expedition map that I painstakingly developed...

After a few weeks I realised that I had sprite shadows off...

Boy does gamedev sometimes make me feel like a moron.

Love this design, I bet it would look great in yellow and brown

Back from a week away, and I forgot everything i was halfway through developing... Week-ago me is an idiot and today me hates him.

I've escaped from my computer screen to get all grimy in the wilderness instead of my office for a while...

AI is a tool, not using a tool does not make your product better than one that does use it.

I've got some characters with pretty large knockers... does that count

My least favourite part of solo development is going away for a holiday and feeling guilty for taking time away from my game...

Find me making a new account for each version release, follow my new account: "Tales for the Long Nights V.0.8.1"

Is this a noise multiplier? Love how it adds that natural variation?
