When I say I'm really struggling in the editing of The Last Walkers- It looks a lot like this [pic]. Each of the 14 'pages' contains multiple dozens of items to review. And without fail, editing one part means 5 other things screw up. I promise, this WILL get finished...

A OneNote file open with 14 pages of editorial to-do lists, hundreds of items that each need attending and that each rely on other elements of the game rules being written.

Working on a little something for this game... Meet: Cobalt Snake. #Blender #Tabletop #3dPrint A super simple and quick model just to test if I could match to the unit builder. (note: the unit builder doe NOT create 3d models for you!)

I spent far too long today looking for weather icons or weather icon fonts, or SVG... I should have just done this 4 hours ago... If anyone wants some really crappy snowflake or sunshine icons - I'm setting these free as public domain art: #FreeArt #MadeByHuman #NoAI

For reasons known only to my brain, I have been undertaking some QoL updates to my stupid defrag game: afour.games/diskdefrag/ I have more important things to be doing, but, it is what it is... So if you have a few minutes to waste playing a nonsense game of computer nostalgia, have at it. #Retro

While I REALLY would love to host an Afour Games table or booth, I cannot afford such nice things. I'll settle for just doing what I normally do - stay at home and gaze longingly at the cool things happening all around. #TTS2026 #BoardGames #RPG #TTRPG

I should be more positive about my 'game design' projects. Around 2001-ish I wrote rules for an x-com derived/inspired tabletop game. I just found the old prototype play-pieces among some old bits. #NerdNostalgia It took 25 years for the industry to catch up with me. modiphius.net/pages/xcomth...

When editing, it's best to use meaningful names for internal styles or layouts. Dong so means later editing can easily be interpreted. Which is why I take such care on things like this so I don't become confused by my own previous edits. 👀😅 #GamesDesign #Indie #TTRPG

A clip from my editing notes for the rework of my game: The Last Walkers. It shows the terrible internal style formats of "Goober-Table" and "DERPList" which need my attention.

I REALLY do want to finish my update to The Last Walkers (previously The Long Walk)- so many people recently visiting on itch of a version of the game that's not rightly complete. I'm considering making the page private until I can get the new release, but also, I don't want to lose the momentum!

Ooh, actually, I have got one that I have yet to pose correctly... still in 'T-Pose' I dub it the "Leggy Mech" I really should finish stuff more often...

I have, to-date, only completed 3 mech models... Perhaps I should finish the Hermit Crab I started... #Blender #DefaultCube Available for 3d prints: - bit.ly/BT_HHMech - bit.ly/BT_GkaMech - bit.ly/A4_CustomMech

I guess my fantasy games about little plastic figures rolling dice at each other was too much for the UK government BS nanny state OSA. People in the UK can't even see my page on itch afour-games.itch.io #KillingCreativity #HobbyGaming #Nerdlings

I used to like drawing, sometimes just loosing myself in the doing- now that I have a self imposed 'must do' target, it feels like a chore. Really not enjoying making these, but am one step closer to completing the art for the re-release of the renamed game: The Last Walkers (prev: The Long Walk)

This was harder than drawing people, too many details to attempt to portray... Wasn't sure when to stop. A fourth image that will be going into the new version of The Long Walk - Now Renamed The Last Walkers. #NoAI #IndieDev #TTRPG #Nerdlings #Krita #Digital #TabletArt

Some people are accused of "Burning the candle at both ends" when they try to do too much at once or scatter among many tasks. May I present: a new trinary-ended candle for increased 'end-burning' potential. I can't say it's working well for me, but perhaps you'd like to borrow it?

I really dislike drawing people. Somehow have summoned the essence of Jon Bernthal. Another non-AI image because I can't sell games unless I do this #NoAI #IndieDev I could give in- perhaps there is at least 1 person that will buy the game and think: "Oh this artwork is shite, but it is human!"

Knocked out another image for my game. Now, If I can just pay myself the same rate as I'd have paid for other artists 🤔 #NoAI #IndieDev #Tabletop #TTRPG #Artwork After much deliberation I'm also going to be renaming this game, no longer will it be The Long Walk, rather it shall be The Last Walkers

I've had some 'interesting' quotes for commission rate artwork... Suffice to say- I can't afford to pay what those artists want. So, in the words of Thanos: "Fine, I'll do it myself" With that, here is my current WIP for artwork to go into my game: The Long Walk #NoAI #Indie #Tabletop #GameDev

I tried messing about to get a different (still public domain) image that I could use... What do people think? The 1st one looked more 'pulp' to my eye, this one is missing something? (also- the new city 'hatching' looks worse!)

Does anyone out there want a nostalgia 'shooter' game that is a vaguely inspired remake of Faceball 2000? #Retro I'm torn whether or not to ship it onto my itch, a dumb project for the lol's of it; but waste-not want-not eyh? Janky vibe-coded silliness anyone? Show of hands if anyone wants this.

Continuing work on CosmosDasher Digital, a version of the tabletop space exploration and adventure game I made. This image is NOT part of the game, its a review tool to examine file structure!... Even this looks space-like, so I'm sure the actual game will be SUPER-spacey! #Indie #GameDev

I'm 'vibing' my way through making the digital version of CosmosDasher... and have just made a tool to review the code base, because: WTF?!?!111bbq1one. Looks great, and may actually help me. Look how nice all the codey-things look here... Unlike in the actual directories and raw code.

An interesting thing arises from my stats on itch- my game "The Long Walk" is my least advertised & most niche game. I'm happy seeing there are at least some people interested in it. Sadly the current release has a bunch of typo's & I owe it to those that support me to fix that!

Afour Games @afour.games · 14/04/2026

I'm thinking of potentially opening up to a select few early alpha testers for CosmoDasher digital version. Are there any gamer nerds out there that may be interested in this? Still very early and likely to crash or not work right- but it's getting there very slowly... #Indie #GameDev

I have to say- not even being paid to the fact. Meshy: image to 3d is very impressive. And I'm sad that my time learning and tinkering with Blender is washed away by 30 seconds of tech in motion. It would have taken me days, maybe weeks trying to get to this... Also: Anyone remember Dino-Riders?

Afour Games @afour.games · 07/01/2026

In what may be a direct avoidance of trying to work in the code of the game, I keep adding graphics to make it at least look nice... Now there are planets that fly by slowly in the background, Hooray! Need to stop the 'distant stars' being in front though...that's just weird...

Are there any #PixelArt sci-fi focussed artists out there that care to help me on a project? I'd do it myself, but I know I'd get frustrated quickly, & while I'd probably accept using Gen AI- I know that too would only frustrate as it'd not do 'what I want'. My budget is currently: kind thoughts
