I ๐˜จ๐˜ถ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ด I could focus on adding content and actually stick to the planโ€ฆ but why do that when I can overengineer the water flow, make it worse than before, then tear out and replace the save system, room loading, and camera handler all at once instead?

A sequel is in the works, and I think stuff has been backported to the first game that fixed input issues and possible other things.

Thanks! The progress has been slow lately because of lack of free time, but I hope to level up the development now again.

Picked up Environmental Station ฮฑ on Steam for 3โ‚ฌ, and having a blast with this archetypal #metroidvania! Great adventure, interesting settings, rapid progress, and a banger OST. Pure boomer-cozy fun, nothing pretentious or too tedious. Donโ€™t let the pixels scare you! Thanks @hempuli.bsky.social!

Just grabbed 10 indie games on the Steam Winter Sale for ~$50 in total, some of which have been on my wishlist for nearly 10 years! Iโ€™ll share if Iโ€™ve found any hidden gems. What are your must-buys from the sale?

I decided to test replacing the pixel art with hand-drawn assets. I aim for a doodled, imperfect style that feels like pixel art when you squint. With a few days ahead without computer access, itโ€™s a perfect opportunity to focus on drawing instead of defaulting to programming. #ScreenshotSaturday

Great work and interesting setting! I get the feeling of the 8-bit metal gear games. It has potential. You should consider to continue the work on it. I think one improvement would be to show button icons when you can perform an action like opening a door. I was stuck in the first room for a while.

I started using Bluesky yesterday, and wowโ€”what a welcome! So much creativity and positivity, and Iโ€™m just one follower away from surpassing what took years on Twitter. Looking forward to following what youโ€™re all up to and sharing my own game development journey!

I'm making a Zelda-like puzzle adventure without weapons. Just started posting on Bluesky but plan to post updates on the development. I would love to be on your list if possible.

Hi! I'm making a weapon-free Zelda-like with focus on puzzle and adventure instead of combat and would love to be on your list. :-)

Seems to run very well. It should be possible to get the yellow โ€playableโ€ icon even if you donโ€™t apply for the full verified status. Looking forward to play it!

Looks great! Also, released on my birthday that's might be a sign that I should buy it๐Ÿ˜‰. Is it working on Steam Deck?

I started using my Bluesky account today and would love to be on your list! I'm making a 2d zelda-like game without weapons including an editor, and am currently planning for a new art direction (attached screenshot) and a first demo.

Wonder Wand is a Zelda-like puzzle adventure game I'm working on. Instead of swords and other weapons, you have to rely on the abilities of your wand and your wits to beat the game.
