I'm going to be streaming @11bitstudios.bsky.social Moonlighter 2 today. Tune into www.twitch.tv/thepadlockes... For the update!!
#indiegames #twitchstreaming
I just played about 3 hours and I'm around 2000 gold in the shop! I'm keeping my eyes peeled for the thief. I never could stop them from stealing my loot in Moonlighter 1...
This game is very fun! I think yall got a franchise on your hands.
Moonlighter 2 was released TODAY! @digitalsungames.com
It has to be my favorite indie series! www.twitch.tv/videos/26228...
Check out my stream! It was my first time playing it. I hope to stream Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Just found out Cloudheim drops Dec 4 and I’m already planning to play it for days.
This ARPG has physics-based combat, crafting & a flying turtle base.
I’m so hyped I put my Switch 2 up for sale 🤯
Anyone else diving into this one from day one?
#indiegame #Cloudheim #gamedev #gaming
I'll need to check it out! I do love some fast paced combat.

Working on Loan Sword$man has taught me one thing: scope is a sneaky final boss 😂
But I’m leveling up the world, the swords, and the story piece by piece.
Can’t wait to share more soon.

Nice quality teaser trailer you got there!

I just learned Dead Cells has a 5⭐ rating with 40,000+ reviews… and somehow I’ve never played it 😅
For those who have — is it really as addictive as everyone says?
Should I make it my next roguelike playthrough?
#indiegame #DeadCells #roguelike #gaming
6 months deep into building my indie game Loan Sword$man ⚔️.
The art style’s still evolving, but the vision is sharper than ever.
Indie dev is messy, but I want to bring you along for the ride this time. Who’s ready to see this journey unfold?
Coming soon, an October update!!!
#indiegame #gamedev
Game dev math:
1 bug fixed = 3 new ones created.
By that logic, Loan Sword$man might secretly be a bug-collecting simulator at this point 😅

What’s your funniest bug moment in a game?
Death’s Door is one of those indie gems that sticks with you.
Tight combat, hauntingly beautiful art, and a story about purpose and loss—it’s a masterclass in minimalism.
It’s the kind of game that reminds me why I’m making my own.
#indiegame #DeathsDoor
Yeah, right? There are so many! My exGF, current best friend loved Stardew Valley herself.
I just looked at a trailer for Dredge because I didn't know it myself. It looks so hauntingly beautiful! 😯
The best part of indie games? You feel the heart of the devs in every pixel.
From Hollow Knight to Hades, each one proves you don’t need AAA budgets to tell unforgettable stories.
What indie game story stuck with you the most?
#indiegame #gaming
Oh yeah. I spent many days trying to get passed...well everything! lol

Ever notice how indie roguelikes make you lose 50 runs in a row… and somehow you still whisper “one more try”? 😂
That loop is pure magic. What’s the indie game that hooked you hardest?
#indiegame #roguelike #gamingcommunity
Moonlighter was such a gem—playing as a merchant chasing the dream of becoming a hero felt so relatable (especially as an indie dev 👀).
Moonlighter 2’s beta is in Nov! @digitalsungames.com is leveling up again. Who else is hyped?

I finished the @druidmechanics.bsky.social course! So now I got the basics of gameplay done. For the rest of October, I'm going to work on official art so I can start prototyping and Alpha Testing. And...making my Steam Page! This is #exciting!

Link's Awakening (the Padlockes Tech version)
I enjoyed my Gengar model so much, I spent an hour and 34 minutes yesterday making another #Nintendo character in #Link! I used the Awakening Remake version (Gotta crawl before you can walk.)

Here's a better render. A great artist told me to get rid of the eye clipping

So, I've been chipping away at #art while I've been #coding, #designing, going to #school, #teaching at another school, and #uber driving. Here is a nearly complete #gengar from #pokemon! Enjoy!

Wandering around the Kingdom. Come say hi! I got about 1 to 2 hours to Stream TOTK Switch 2 version:
www.twitch.tv/thepadlockes...
The new models are in the gaming and trying their best to run smoothly! I'm just glad they are in there!
What do you think? Is this starting to look like a game you'd want to play??
#screenshotsaturday #indiegame #solodeveloper
#Working on a new design for my Sneak Enemy. The game Loan Sword$man is still in pre-production (we don't even have a Steam Page, yet!!)
Is it just me or is he looking like a decent character model??

Come watch me play my favorite game of the last year!

What in the glitch? (I fixed it yesterday, but it was a pain for quite a while).
There's no Steam Page yet, but follow my page for updates. Steam Page will be up when I get rid of all this test art! :3
#supermarioworld #nintendo #legendofzelda #indiegame #videogame
There is much to say about Subdivision Surface! #blender3d #videogameart #indiegames
Also, I forgot I tried a model with the @grantabbitt.bsky.social animeGirl project back in 2024! I wonder if I should get into that once I'm finished with this one.
