Hi! I'm new here! An indie game dev crafting worlds. ๐ฒโฉ๏ธ
A little peek into what I've been building lately. Would love to connect โค๏ธ
You're cooking

I think this is quite cool

Sometimes they develop the strategies I also thought of when doing level design, sometimes they did things I didn't expect but it worked fine and I very rarely thought "I need to make sure you can't solve it that way"
Probably a good sign, it's really enjoyable to watch people figuring stuff out
I think a really fun thing when watching playtesters is seeing them improving. Pretty much everytime I saw someone playing GameChanger, they quickly developed strategies and clever ways to interact with stuff, especially when they failed a task in the first try.

I added freeflight mode to 3D section scenes for personal fun but it's so enjoyable that i'm seriously considering to add it to the game as unlockable bonus content for doing all optional 3D challenges. It's a nobrainer.

So this is our full 12 minute long final boss theme. I think the composer really cooked with this one. The whole thing feels like a journey.
Give it a shot, trust me.

Hey! I was pretty quiet in the last few weeks because of vacation and working on things that aren't ready to be shown yet.
But i will drop something interesting really, really soon.
Hint: It has something to do with our OST :)
Today I started designing one of the last areas for this game. The vibe is already nice, i wonder how this scene develops over the next few days

How our third Boss greets you
#gamedev #indiegame #gaming
I lowkey hate the way you have to market your indie game as a newcomer. I'm showing so much more than I want to but I have to. What I would give to be in a position to post like 2-3 controlled Trailers over the whole dev cycle and nothing else and people are hyped
Maybe one day
#indiegame #gamedev
BOOM!

Working on a new feature for our third boss fight
#gaming #indiegame #gamedev #art
Some of our 3D Sections have this visual feature of stuff building itself up and it's just so fun to look at. Thinking about actually incorporating it into the gameplay in some way

A little Mirror Puzzle!

Our game occasionally locks you up to fight a "Portal", an entity which is capable of creating infinite numbers of enemies. Here is a snipped of the song that is playing in these combat challenges

Our map/inventory menu is so satisfying to open and close that I feel the urge to do it every other second

It's my game, "GameChanger - Episode 1", a Twin-Stick Shooter Action Adventure
Coming to Steam in 2026
When the doctor tells you to say "Ahhh"

Ah yes, there is also 3D Content

The second boss fight in our Twin-Stick Shooter Action Adventure is... intense
