Me holding the playdate game console

My playdate arrived! The thing's a lot of fun, and I can't wait to program a lil' something for it myself. Its just what I need to wind down after months of stress due to my Bachelor's degree (yes, I know, I am taking a break from making games by making... a game)

In Full Bloom on Steam Feed and raise your little baby. Watch it grow and feed on every and anything. In Full Bloom is a Tamagotchi inspired Katamari-like about a creature with never-ending hunger for anything around it. Th...

The day has come to behold the mouth.

The In Full Bloom steam page is live!

Please check it out & wishlist the game if you're interested or want to support us.
It helps us out & you'll get notified about big changes, like a playable demo perhaps? 👀

I am a bit late, but 🌈 happy pride month y'all! It's tough times out there, but I hope everyone gets to stay safe and celebrate ^^

Man, am I happy that I graduated from secondary school before Sam Altman's plagiarism machine was a thing. Good job tech bros, your fancy new gadget has brought us the future of "people can't read anymore", my favourite flavour of dystopia.

For a person like me, whose only experience with classic nintendo games was lending a game boy from our local library for a single week, the switch online collections are a blessing. Its making me feel nostalgia for something I've never had!

Even without fancy particle effects, collecting crystal shards and enemy loot is already quite satisfying!

All over the surface of the planet, strange tornadoes appear. They are surrounded by a massive wall of dust and seem to be powered by a powerful source of energy. What dangers will await you inside of it?

#screenshotsaturday #gamedev

Did we just forget about click workers? Did we really?? Do these people even understand that the hallucinations of fancy applied statistics they call "AI" are built on top of thousands of HUMANS labelling the stolen training data for abysmal wages? When will these HUMANS get HUMAN rights???

While precious resources scatter the lands of our Dual Perspective Strategy & Action game, there are also hives full of angry bugs and critters! Luckily, rockets beat rock!

The image portrays shaders malfunctioning in a game. A black sphere in the middle of the screen with layered rings switching from blue to cyan and a black outline. The sphere is distorted towards the bottom as if some gravity was pulling at it. 6 rocks of which only their outline can be seen create a u which frame the black hole. On the top middle of the screen is a health bar which is not affected by the shader error.

Sometimes weird stuff happens when reworking what you already have. This time around our screen got sucked into the vortex by the shader gods, they do not seem to listen to our prayers.

Speaking of bouncing rockets... here are some rocket modules we've been cooking up! The possibilities are endless (if you can't count higher than 27)!

#gamedev #screenshotsunday #indiedev

Approaching the storm is a dangerous feat in our drone combat strategy/action game... Although it ain't so hard if you have rockets bouncing all over the place!

#screenshotsaturday #gamedev

This is why I hate it when economics bros use "supply and demand" as an excuse for companies doing evil stuff. Who wants this!? Bring me ONE person who would genuinely enjoy playing that. This is nothing but an insult to human art and creativity.

We've prototyped a video showcasing how our planets mega-storm might create different feeling areas. If you don't like sand because it's course, rough and gets everywhere this planet might not be for you... except if you're up for an adventure?

Coder Appreciation Post!

One of our coders visualised the data we collected from testings we did and I fricckcking love this!

One cube per Restart - can't wait to get back to level design to improve the game based on this data! AAAHHH so EXCITED!

Thanks for hosting Rami ^^

We're currently expanding this funky prototype to a fully fledged game! It will be about plotting your course through an alien desert and defending your moving home by throwing rockets into enemies' faces!

The cockpit of the harvester is the center of your journey in our Dune-inspired survival game.

From there you will plot a course across the alien desert, and steer a drone to defend your moving home!

Sometimes all you need is to see the world from a different perspective...

Thank you for making awesome games ^^ You're a great inspiration for the swiss indie scene!

Just finished @okomotive.bsky.social 's FAR: Lone Sail, and I am in awe of the elegance of it's design. It got me into the flow many times, even though all I was doing was pushing buttons and admiring the landscape. It's proof that simple, polished interactions can do so much! (take notes, Manuel)

That looks about right

I've been following the development for a while now, awesome stuff! Can't wait to play it

I know Balatro is one in a million, but somehow the fact that localthunk got scouted by a publisher instead of the other way around gives me comfort. In general, it's nice to read a game industry story with a happy end once in a while...
