Making branching dialogs is fun! Testing them and making sure all the paths work as intended is less so... 😅 #GameDev #IndieGame #MadeWithUnity

The baby is still too young to be speaking, let alone read. But we already have a small library of baby books! This is one of the "My first words"-book and it bothers me more than it should that the pieces in the image for "puzzle" clearly do not fit together... 😅 #dadlife

As the baby has gradually started trying more and more food, we've gotten more and more bibs. Some of them we've bought ourselves, some have been gifted. We have so many bibs now it almost feels biblical! #dadjokes #dadlife (I'm a dad now. I'm allowed to make these jokes 😬)

I'm lying to myself. 😬 I have a milestone in my board which I've called "Future". It has anything from "temporary" hacks to random ideas. On some level I know I 'll never get to them, but don't tell me that. I won't believe you. Putting them in writing gets them out of my head. #GameDev #IndieGame

Testing the corruption levels! It has five stages, from Unreadable to Uncorrupted. Of course, no essential information will be hidden behind the first two levels 😉 The glitching and jumping letters can also be turned off in the game settings. #gamedev #indiegames

Norwigi @abrevik.net · 09/08/2026

The more of the "corrupted dialog" I moved into the game, the less happy I became with how it felt when it glitched. So tonight I've enjoyed revisiting that! Sometimes I feel like I'm just looking for any reason I can find to keep delaying the boring parts of what is left... 😬 #GameDev #IndieGame

Another thing that kinda just stopped happening towards the end of last year was me going for runs. Happy to say I've dug out my #running shoes again! Feeling good to be getting back into it, though I have a lot of catching up to do! 🏃

Quick #Steam question for the #IndieGame and #GameDev crowd! How do you deal with demo patch notes? The demo is parented under the (unreleased) main game and therefore doesn't have its own events. When creating a patch notes event for the main game, I can't link it to a demo build.

Norwigi @abrevik.net · 04/08/2026

There's a small "bug" in Soulfused that would only affect players who purposefully try to break the game, and even then it doesnt really break it... Instead of fixing it, I'm thinking I'll trigger an easter egg when it happens. Maybe even an achievement? 😅 #GameDev #IndieGame #ItsAFeatureNotABug

Good news: I'm finally back in the level editor, which I've been avoiding for a while. Adding the content to the game is tedious work... Bad news: I'm editing the level editor more than the levels... I'll get there eventually, I'm sure 😅 #GameDev #IndieGame #MadeWithUnity #LevelEditor

Fun fact: Soulfused is not my first text adventure! In 2013 I created a text game inspired by the quote "You have to sign a piece of paper" for Molyjam. This was a Flash game in AS3. The source might be lost, but here's Raziel Igor playing it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-ei... #GameDev #IndieGames
