You weren't supposed to find it, you must not make contact. #indiedev #indiegame 🎮

I know that being a game developer also means remaining impartial toward your own creations BUT C'MON #indiedev #gamedev 🎮

Looking back at how this project started and how it's evolved over time is... a weird feeling. From an idea I had after a weird dream to having a Steam page up with a trailer and, soon I hope, a playable demo too. This is what being a game dev means to me. Cheers! #indiedev #indiegame 🎮️

I've published the first video regarding ORISON on socials, it would be of great help if you wanted to support other channels. Marketing is... rough. @orison.sys on IG and TikTok. #gamedev #indiedev

God how much I missed actively working on a game. No other media has given me this energy and this sense of wonder. Exploring new mechanics, writing up dialogues, seeing how everything falls into place. And waiting for players to experience all of this themselves.

Given how much I'm fed up with the direction humanity is taking, I've decided to condense all my thoughts, feelings and beliefs into a story about humanity itself. I truly believe we can still do better, we can still learn how to love again. Until then, humanity awaits.

Every word, image and sound in ORISON was made by me, without generative AI. The full trailer is on the Steam page, a wishlist is the biggest help you can give a solo dev. I literally get tears in my eyes if I begin thinking about all of this, I wish I could tell you the whole journey. Take care.

The last unwatched place on the internet ran on a hidden machine. People sent it what they couldn't say anywhere else, and governments never found it. You did. It notices every file you open, and the ones you don't. ORISON is my love letter for humanity, now on Steam. #gamedev #indiedev

When I created Arcane Canvas, I wanted it to be something that could contain various dreams, projects and arts. This is how SILENTIUM was born, a religious/cosmic horror audio drama. Available for now on Spotify and YT. Here's the (wip) website: arcane-canvas.github.io/silentiumpod...

Update: I found it, already seen it personally and i LOVE IT, so now onto the next steps. It's hard to focus on game development right now because so many things are happening in my life.

Demon Souls Fan Art I did a while ago because well…I’m a souls obsessed nerd. 😌 I think I created this after playing the remake on PS5 and was so inspired by everything about it. Would love to one day do some Bloodborne fan art, but I love to sit on my couch recently. The time will come.

Project development is going a bit slow because I'm in the process of finding a new house... to buy? And it's wild. I don't even know if I feel truly ready to take this step and it's hard to balance work, house hunting and game development for this project. Please wish me luck!!

Hi! Not #The1MonthGame update, just wanted to let you know that I created a new game devs starter pack for awesome indies to follow. Includes indie devs with +1K followers, so the 150 limit isn't filled right away. Let me know to be added. Feel free to repost & suggest devs! 🎮 go.bsky.app/Hjfup3r

I am once again here to tell you to BACKUP your projects and have some form of version control. Physical copies, cloud copies, Git branches and all of the above. You can be a game dev, an artist, a journalist or whatever else, backups will be there when you need them the most.

I'm still wondering why Capcom didn't just leave it to us. I mean, make it offline and let me slay the same monsters 1000 times I NEED IT

I see a lot of new people here on Bluesky, especially game devs and studios. Excited for what this platform will be in the near future and glad to have you here!!

Screenshots are really really nice, they all give out cozy farm vibes so I'd say it hits the target very well!! The only thing I noticed is that the numbers' font is slightly too big, so either make the numbers smaller or the circular frame bigger.

Arcane Canvas @arcanecanvas.bsky.social · 02/11/2024

Working on my solo dev project and spending 90% of the time solving dumb problems (like the one below) and 10% of the time panicking about the amount of work still left to do, oh yeah it's big indie dev time

Arcane Canvas @arcanecanvas.bsky.social · 31/10/2024

I get it and I agree with you, but isn't it tiring? This isn't my first rodeo, just a brand new account for a brand new project, but every single time it's simply disheartening how hard is to simply get a profile going. Like screaming into the void where nobody actually hears you.

Arcane Canvas @arcanecanvas.bsky.social · 31/10/2024

Kinda depressing how much effort and time a game dev MUST put into trying to reach an audience on social medias, only to be seen by a bunch of people at best, especially in the beginning. Man, I just wanna make games and show them to people, why must I stress so much about algorithms and engagement

So let me get this straight: after years of financial failures, layoffs, cuts and general bad reputation build-up, Ubisoft decides it's a good idea to launch a blockchain game with NFTs after all the hype for web3 has already vanished? Must be gamers' fault, those pesky gamers are never happy.

I'd say 80%, 85% if I drink 2 Monsters a day

This is one of the first illustrations and key art I did 8 years ago when I started worldbuilding Scavenger, which later evolved into a full RPG setting for DnD 5E.

Honestly I'm having a lot of fun with the new Pokémon TCG Pocket app and I hope it will bring more players to the TCG world!! Battles are short and simplified, so I see a lot of potential 👀 #PokemonSky #PokemonTCG

For me it was when necessity and obsession met. Necessity: the company I'm working for right now isn't doing well, but instead of searching for a new position elsewhere, I'm using my free time to create something Obsession: I absolutely LOVE what I'm creating and it's fueling my motivation
