Heyya! We’ve been accepted to Poki! 🎉🔥🫣 A week after google play took our most profitable game (it’s been feeding us for 5 years while we lived in Canada) because of some false impersonation claims. Should we cry or celebrate or what? 🤔 First game for Poki is Dundoku of course #indiedev #gamedev

A 🧵 about how Google Play removed our game and how we have spent the last 10 days banging our heads against an (most likely) AI support bot trying to defend our game. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #ゲーム制作 #ゲーム開発 #インディーゲーム

I just don’t like talking or doxing in any way, but for the sake of the new game, I had to at least record a voiceover. Especially since on the day of the new game’s announcement, GooglePlay and a major mobile publisher banned our most popular game that’s been feeding us for 6 years. Coincidence? 🤔

This is our #indiedev studio’s CEO (cat extremely old) and we made this crutch 🩼 so she could clean herself more easily. And what did you do for your car today?😜

One night my own neural network generated this and a few more variations that are yet to be drawn. Here’s my little ant spearman guarding the cave entrance. Love the concept and colors but the pose and proportions are meh. #noai #noaiart #pixelart #indiegamedev #artprocess #antman #ant

Was this thread shadow banned? People hate 🦨 that much? Just a bad joke in the first post? Curious why it got zero reactions 🤔 #cute #animal #wildlife #encounter

While strolling at 11 pm we were followed and then approached by 2 black gangsters. We took pictures of them when they were walking towards us and then later on when they moved away but the moment they were at us we were so shocked that we didn’t even take any photos. Pics are below 🧵

Part 3 of vibe searching. Experimenting with marker icons, background and the scroll pieces so it looks more like an old dungeon map. Does it though?🤔 #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #ゲーム開発 #digitalart #gamedev

A42 Games @a42games.bsky.social · 20/09/2025

Part 2 of searching for the game’s vibe. Background is very important for the level. Players will stare at it while playing. It’s gotta have calm and pleasant colors to not steal attention from the main game elements. Also played a bit with the torn map pieces. #indiegame #ゲーム開発 #digitalart #gamedev

Tried to make our dungeon look more casual. None of available assets fit so had to draw some tiles 🫣 It appeared you don’t need any Adobe products to make a good tiles 🤗 What do you think folks? #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #ゲーム開発 #digitalart #gamedev #pixelart

It's #screenshotsaturday folks! Akshually we don't need skeletal animation for our puzzle game but since we now have this cute skelly - why not make some jelly animation with monstermash, right? 😉 #indiegame #ゲーム開発 #digitalart #gamedev #art #animation2d #indiegamedev #skeleton

Happy #screenshotsaturday ! What to do if your progress video becomes too long 🤔? We just speed up the first half of the vid cause it’s old and add new progress clips in the second half. But is this legit? What you think , please tell in comments!😉🤝 #indiegame #ゲーム開発 #marketing #gamedev #puzzle

Gradually improving our game’s main menu. In the end it’s going to be some kind of an ancient library with lots of scrolls 🤪 Any thoughts? Post your #screenshotsaturday creations below if you’re up to!🙃 #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #BeforeVSAfter #digitalart #art

It appeared if you store ice cubes in a plastic jar in the freezer - one day you might open the jar and find this piece of #art on the lid! Amazing! 🙀 Are there any #indiegames about crystal growing? #ハンドメイド

A42 Games @a42games.bsky.social · 03/05/2025

Any of #gamedev folks be interested in a thread on how to fit into new Bitbucket limits for free repos (1Gb) and cut your #unity game repo size from 2Gb to 100 Mb? Or how to host your own repo on a linux machine? If this gets 20 likes - we’ll explain in details with commands and examples 😉

Google Play console design is cursed badly 🤬 Not only they show different ratings with BLUE gradients But the 5⭐️ rating is shown with such insignificant blue tint that on my monitor it looks like on the screenshot. It’s white on white goddamit! #indiedev #gamedev #cursedgamedev
