Lazlo | Your Game Is In Another Castle

One year late to the party, but I finally finished Dragon Age: The Veilguard. 72 hours of fun, even though I have some conflicted feelings about how the game relates to the rest of the franchise. Thinking of writing a review.

Sketching some inspiration today ✍️

#indiedev #sketch #drawing

I realised I needed to brush up my drawing skills if I wanted to create the art for my own game.

First try with #procreate did not disappoint. 🥰

In the process of building a wishlist for my b-day. Which #indiegame should I definitely include?

Lazlo & Kevin on a couch interviewing

Starting out in game dev can feel pretty lonely. @kevinhaelterman.bsky.social from @lugusstudios.bsky.social has the best remedy: a community exclusively for people involved in game dev.

You can check out my full interview with him here: youtu.be/EspvKNGbnIY

Right?! I have found myself taking a tonne of screenshots at the most random moments because the game is simply gorgeous.

Sundays are for game dev … and also for video edits. Coming up: my interview with @kevinhaelterman.bsky.social from @lugusstudios.bsky.social!

Looking forward to sharing this one soon!

Congrats to @voidmawgames.bsky.social with the release of @katanaut.bsky.social! I've played a bit and loving it so far. Amazing what a solo dev can achieve!

Border collie vs Game Boy. Turns out she’s a rage quitter.

It makes me wonder: how did @teamcherry.bsky.social manage to create so much hype for Silksong? I never played the original but I've heard good things. However, these numbers indicate that a vocal minority sort of hacked the games' marketing cycle.

What do you think?

#videogamemarketing #indiedev

I just noticed that #HollowKnight is experiencing its highest peak of concurrent players this month.

Hollow Knight ... not Silksong.

It makes sense that it's getting a resurgence: players want to know why so many people are hyped about the sequel. I'm one of them.

And yet.. 5X growth 🤯

Damn …

Mood.

Did I buy my dog a Game Boy?

Let’s say I did not NOT buy my dog a Game Boy, okay?

Would you consider yourself a specialist or a generalist?

And what path leads to the most success in game development do you think?

It sounds weird: working on a deeply personal project with a team. How do you communicate your vision? Are you open for adjustments based on your team’s perspective?

I talked to Kimberly Hieftje about her process in building Year of the Cicadas

I was fortunate enough to meet the @bgstudios.bsky.social crew earlier this week and score these amazing stickers 🥰

The demo for their next release Swan Song is live now! Downloading it as I type 🤩

Give this one a go if you haven’t yet!

More about Year of the Cicadas on their website: www.yearofthecicadas.com — it’s a game about loss, grief and how to move forward without moving on.

New interview dropping tomorrow 💪 Had a great chat with Kimberly Hieftje from XRPeds about working on her very personal passion project: Year of the Cicadas.

Trust me, you want to watch this!

It’s sad to see Activision Blizzard combat player creativity in this way instead of embrace it.

Why are events like #gamescom important for indie devs? @piratepr.com explains why 👇

Had a great interview with @kevinhaelterman.bsky.social from @lugusstudios.bsky.social
about community building today. Looking forward to publishing this one 😄

#indiedev #gamedev #gamedevinterview

I recognise myself in this 😅

Sounds like the thing I need tbh 😆

Cool! Are these all people you already knew or did you find a community online?

Question for hobbyist game devs out there: how do you prioritise the various tasks of your game dev project during the weekend?
