Another monkey making small indie games. I combine surreal horror with odd gameplay mechanics. A thread about my main games on Steam: bsky.app/profile/apehardware.bsky.s… Itch.io: apehardware.itch.io

I did the programming for Angel Offline, a Ren'py chatsim by Wish Hour Games! I was challenged to code a custom vertical phone message system. The game is really cute and has a pixel art style~ Check it out! wish-hour.itch.io/angel-offline #VNDev

It's happening. I'm trying out having the Steam page up before the demo is done. The game will have an updated version of Cognitive Reconquista's combat system, but the rest of the game is a nostalgia-horror point and click based on Spanish "tebeo" comics: store.steampowered.com/app/5127630/...

Made a small thing for the #GMTK2026 jam. The theme was "countdown", so I made a turn-based fight in which your stats go down every turn. It's not much, but it has a space knight: apehardware.itch.io/all-paramete...

I'm really surprised by how much positive feedback this mess got. I've been trying to work on a spiritual successor. The (expanded) battle system and most basic stuff are already functioning, but I'm unsure of what do to with the story. It will probably have to be a different setting.

There's also a new Margini videoludici (At videogame margins) column, about an explicitly "anti-generative AI" videogame, @apehardware.bsky.social's Cognitive Reconquista.

#IndieGames is trending and I released one yesterday, so... This is Kuentame, it has top-down platforming, multi-stage boss fights, pre-rendered (and human-made) graphics, and lore™. store.steampowered.com/app/4222630/... apehardware.itch.io/0nc3up0n4t1m3 #GameDev #IndieDev #screenshotsaturday

Kuentame has been released! It's been 6 months, but my first attempt at a game with graphics made from pre-rendered Blender 3D models (NO genAI used) is here. Be warned, the change in style does not mean it's less weird than my previous work. store.steampowered.com/app/4222630/... #indiedev

#indiedev is trending, so I should mention that my lastest project, Kuentame, releases in just 3 days. It's a top-down bullet hell platformer with surreal, eerie graphics created with pre-rendered 3D models (all human-made, NO genAI). store.steampowered.com/app/4222630/... #gamedev #indiegame

Kuentame's demo is on the #SteamNextFest. A surreal, pre-rendered bullet hell platformer about a girl who doesn't care about communication in a word in which everything is connected. Made 100% by a homo sapiens. store.steampowered.com/app/4225600/... #NextFest #SteamNextFest2026 #NextFest2026

Made a small thing for a Galician game jam (don't worry, it's also in English). The theme was making a game based on a short story about someone trying to remember an odd childhood story about fishing a giant octopus. My take on this was a quiz horror game: apehardware.itch.io/polbo-xigant...

It's slowly coming together. I'm aiming to have a demo ready for the Steam Fest, although the pages will probably be made public a bit before that.

ApeHardware @apehardware.bsky.social · 23/11/2025
I'm doing it this time. Pre-rendered everything. The game itself is a spiritual successor to an old Gamemaker project of mine. It was a sort of top-down platformer, but it did not age very well and it glitches out on Linux.

ApeHardware @apehardware.bsky.social · 01/11/2025
For whatever reason this sale didn't let people claim the games. I extended it a few hours and that seems to have fixed it, I guess the servers got possessed for Halloween.

ApeHardware @apehardware.bsky.social · 26/10/2025
Yeah, it's finished. I've been unsure of what to do with it. I'm personally not the biggest fan of it, but compared to the usual mascot horror it's an OK game. I'm considering making it available on Itch for 1$ and discounting it 100% for the Itch Halloween Sale, just to see how it goes.

After all the issues I had with Odiumfloreo post-release, I've been thinking all of the constant gameplay switch-ups I put on my larger games aren't worth the effort. So I made this small point-and-click thing to test out a simpler approach: apehardware.itch.io/the-noisiest... #spooktober #horror

Fun fact: Odiumfloreo originally was a scrapped concept for a fangame that mixed FNaF and Enviro-bear 2000 of all things. Here's a post explaining everything I could recall about it: gamejolt.com/p/the-never-... #indiegame #gamedev #horrorgame #godot #solodev

ApeHardware @apehardware.bsky.social · 25/09/2025
Forgot to post it here, but Odiumfloreo got a few upgrades before release in the form of minigames. 3 of them, 5 levels each, all centered around physics-based nonsense. Releasing soon. #steam #steamgame #indie #indiedev #indiehorror #horrorgame #godotengine store.steampowered.com/app/3956560/...

There's a good chance it's going to release earlier than October 31, but I'm undecided if I should wait until Next Fest 2025 is over or don't hold the game and release it on early October. The full Steam devlog post: store.steampowered.com/news/app/395... #indiegame #indiedev #nextfest #Steam

Trying to get back at doing pre-rendered visuals so I don't have to rely on stock images for everything. This was done entirely with Blender (and some GIMP filters), no photo textures. Haven't touched this kind of style since my FNaF fangame era (...vietnam flashbacks...).
