Thanks! I’ve gone through every colour in the rainbow I think before settling on this so I’m super happy to hear it!

Table 3 coming along nicely. Tbh after months of pretty much exclusively programming it feels great to be making pretty-looking weird stuff again.

After 316 reviews on @itch.io, I got what I believe is my first 1-star. Proud to have made it this far but if you're going to do this please, PLEASE god leave some kind of feedback - without it I have absolutely no idea what to improve to make it a 2+ Star gameπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I'm so.. damn.. close!!

Working on the second table boss this #ScreenshotSaturday - adding infra for spell-like abilities for the bosses since - as hard as they are - they were all still a *bit* samey. Polishing the visuals. Feedback welcome!

A 3D model of a skeletal pinball table for an indie game, heavily annotated with red feedback notes pointing to various environmental details.

I'm embracing the upper-management side of being a #solodev by using barely-legible red pen to criticise the work I did in the past while giving future-me a load of extra work that really I don't have bandwidth for. All while using the word 'bandwidth' - nailed it.

Not an in-game grab for #ScreenshotSaturday, instead a WIP of the revised playfield art for the third table. I swear this will all make sense when I can show off the whole damn thing. Almost there.

Obligatory reminder that I have a poorly-managed Discord server discord.gg/DpUGdJ3Uf9 and also to wishlist the game, please and thank you. store.steampowered.com/app/3144340/...

Cult of PiN - Major Demo Update: v0.10.0 is Live - Steam News Rituals, Boss Timers, and big physics changes. I’ve overhauled the flow and added some polish, juice and other improvements.

I keep updating the game and forgetting to post here (or anywhere really) but this time I'm all over it - Boss Timers, Ritual progression and other fun stuff in v0.10.0

- Solo dev? 2+ years, roughly the point where you’ve completely forgotten how almost anything actually works.
- Team dev? However long everyone can all remain friends +1 day.

Preach! Pinball fans are hardcore, their opinions are all valid due to a format that’s been refined for decades, it’s just so hard to incorporate it all and keep everyone happy, while making something noobs can get on board with too. Best of luck with launch it’s an accomplishment getting this far πŸ’ͺ

Not something I've got much experience in so it's likely an utter shambles, but after a number of requests I've finally setup a Discord server for CoP - not sure it'll ever have more than 10 members but if you feel like being one of them:

Planned on having a major update out yesterday, however I found a nasty bug in testing that needs addressed ASAP. However, with work today and going to see Offspring tonight, β€˜ASAP’ is now tomorrow at the earliest. Will post once it’s done. #gamedev #gaming #indiegamedev #indiedev

This just started showing on the SteamDB page, not sure what it means but it’s numbers, and big numbers are good right? Right?

As a fully grown adult, being at #420 on #Steam popular demos should not have brought me this much joy.

Thank you! Yeah I’m not expecting much when it comes to reaching out, but only takes one to get a big jump (hopefully, will see what the wishlists end up at after this!). Good luck!

Thank you! I haven’t reached out to any streamers yet so to get anybody at all at this point feels insane. German localisation just shot up the priority list!

YouTube video by Maxims Zweitkanal PINBALL... aber als ROGUELIKE?! | Cult of PiN - Demo Dienstag

I nearly peed myself recently when a couple of YouTubers with 10k+ subscribers played the demo, but near enough imploded when I saw that Maxims with his 270k followers gave it a spin, claiming β€œPinball has been brought into the 21st Century” holy sh…

Work and life have both been equally intense, so I’ve not had much time to work on CoP this last two weeks, however still aiming for an update in the next fortnight. New lights, spinners and general tactile-goodness upcoming
