These past 2 weeks since releasing Rogue Cell have been a blur. I even forgot to post about version 1.1 with New Game+! Of all the positive feedback, the biggest compliment has been seeing friends try again and again to beat their best times. 🦠

My good friend @noopp.bsky.social is streaming my indie game Rogue Cell in a few minutes, which feels so surreal to say as a dev... Show her some love! www.twitch.tv/noopp

I don't, but maybe that's something I can put on my list, turn some of those into Itch projects

Not sure what to do with my life now that Rogue Cell's published... Onto the next indie gamedev project I guess? 🤔 Time to brainstorm!

I'm now officially a published developer. Time to enjoy some cake! 🥳

Rogue Cell is available now: store.steampowered.com/app/3602010/...

I used a Windows build. Steam Deck uses Photon which allows it to run a lot of games built for Windows (and so far so good).

Incredibly satisfying to see Rogue Cell running on a Steam Deck, can't believe how easy it was to set up. And it feels great to play it on a portable device!

2 more weeks until I release Rogue Cell! 🦠😁 I hope you'll forgive some self promotion, but if this is your kind of game, wishlisting and sharing helps tremendously! store.steampowered.com/app/3602010/...

Working on a custom LOD system for Rogue Cell, mostly just for "fun" while I wait for the release date. As cell radius or camera orthographic size increases, the mesh is regenerated to include more perimeter vertices.

It's hard to reference the game without making a hyperlink! But it's very much inspired by it :) I still play it every now and then

Friend of mine has been putting this game together. He’s getting closer to getting it out soon! It’s looking pretty awesome!

(I may or may not be in this trailer)

I can't believe how much fun I'm having with what was meant to be a quick, post-game mode

When you need to be absolutely sure that you haven't missed a localization hook: (>'.')> <('.'<)

Very excited to finally have a finished trailer for Rogue Cell! And equally as excited to finally have a release date of June 4th! It's happening! 😄

For today's #ScreenshotSaturday, progress on a new arcade mode! Paying homage to "Agar.io" with this single-player, "grow as big as you can" mode, competing against fake players with frustratingly good enemy AI, and high scores to beat.

#gamedev #IndieDev #IndieGame

Been playing around with cell behaviours for a new arcade mode, and it's strangely entertaining watching the cells swim and dash around in the debug view at 5x speed.

#gamedev #IndieDev #IndieGame

Spatial audio makes such a difference, even in 2D games, in tracking where events are happening relative to the player. What a difference it makes, I can't believe I didn't set this up sooner.

#gamedev #IndieDev #IndieGame #Unity3D

Having more options is better than fewer, right? I'm curious to see how many players will prefer the "pixelated" look, and how many will prefer the "clean" look.

#gamedev #IndieDev #IndieGame

After spending some time with it, I'll definitely build my own layer next time too! It's usually worth the upfront work to save time later.

It's a little surprising (not really) how few quality of life features are included for UI navigation in #Unity3D. But it's very satisfying to get auto-scrolling and dynamic navigation maps (for gamepad support) working! Now to actually make the options menu...

Working on something fun/different today!

Rogue Cell on Steam Rogue Cell is an arcade-styled game about absorbing cells, avoiding hazards, collecting DNA, and upgrading on a path to become the biggest and toughest microscopic organism in the primordial soup.

I'm so excited to announce that you can now wishlist Rogue Cell on Steam! 😀🦠 store.steampowered.com/app/3602010/...

#gamedev #IndieDev #IndieGame #Unity3D #pixelart

Rogue Cell was originally inspired by Agar-io's squishy cells and absorption mechanics, which were fun to replicate in #Unity3D. Procedural meshes with "dynamic vertices" that I could displace with spring-like dampening.

#ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #IndieDev #IndieGame

Tweaking some hostile cell behaviours in Rogue Cell, and having some fun at their expense. #gamedev can be fun sometimes!

#IndieDev #IndieGame #Unity3D

Been working on the upgrade tree for Rogue Cell, both the layout, order, and rough pricing, to help create a sense of progression for players as they evolve and get bigger. 🦠

#gamedev #IndieDev #IndieGame #GameDesign #Unity3D

You're the best ❤️

Very excited to announce our first game, Rogue Cell! A Steam page is coming soon, but in the meantime, you can find out more about the game on our site: www.maplelike.com/rogue-cell

More updates coming soon! 🦠

#gamedev #IndieDev #IndieGame

Didn't realize we can't upload gifs! :(

Well, here's one more #ScreenshotSaturday screenshot to make up for it, showing the player dashing to absorb a cell for some sweet, sweet DNA points. 🦠

#gamedev #IndieDev #IndieGame #pixelart #Unity3d

Oh hey, it's #ScreenshotSaturday! Might as well post a sneak peak at what I've been working on. An arcade-inspired project about absorbing cells, upgrading, and getting larger. Excited to show some more of this in the coming weeks!
