Is it a bad idea to boost contrast and saturation in postprocess? Second pic is boosted, does it look better? #gamedev #indiegamedev

Trying to build a list of youtubers to cover my game. After revealing like 5 emails, youtube hits me with this. The absolute joys of indie game marketing 🤣 #indiegamedev #solodev #gamedev

The new resident evil movie is really good! Had a couple of nice jumpscares and it's full of game references.

Been making the village trader today, tinkering with how his stock refreshes after every quest you do and implementing save load. Not sure if he should sell any good weapons or just a collection of random resources.

Kitty is almost a goner, but don't worry! Now you can use your health potion on him from your inventory! 😸 #gamedev #indiegame #solodev

Added a new healing hut that can heal injuries when you get downed. It takes a while though :) #gamedev #indiegame #solodev

This is what I'm thinking with village expansions. The sign might not even be there until you unlock the "tech" at the totem and then you get a new optional task to construct it. #gamedev #indiegame

Testing out this feature where your friends automatically try to do the same thing you do, cut wood in this example. They can also switch weapons to tools and back, if they have them in their equip slots. #gamedev #indiedev

I made dodge for your companions, but it's probably too effective. I might just add a 50% chance to not dodge 😄 #gamedev #indiegame #solodev

Inspired by all the "Find the needle in the haystack" and sorting games, I decided to make a "Find my helmet in the item pile!" game. Can you spot it? 😆 #gamdev #indiedev #solodev

The whole party can fast deposit items and I also made the animation a bit more interesting! 🎒💨✨ #gamedev

Trying out a fast deposit system so you don't have to waste time storing items #gamedev #indiegame #solodev

Even though the number is small, it's great to see that people really liked it! #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Nikodem Lokatelj @barrierx.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Well yes, but I made the game so it would be a biased review and devs shouldn't review their own work. I don't know why steam isn't smart enough to not suggest this 😄 #gamedev

Never expected that much love for my late dog Ezio His game even beat Tribe Quest in wishlist count! Thanks again for everyone that took him for a walk!❤️ #gamedev

Had a big usability issue with the off hand weapon slot. Looked like a refresh button. Now it has a sword icon and weapons go into it automatically. I also added one extra weapon slot to save on inventory space. I'll get this build up on steam soonish to test it out. #gamedev #solodev #indiegame

How about red desert with giant red slimes? Is the red too bright? #gamedev

Nikodem Lokatelj @barrierx.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

Thinking of biomes to add. Something exotic like meat land or giant mushroom land, any suggestions? #gamedev #indiedev

I kept the demo on steam and it's been very useful for testing all the quality of life improvements and bugfixes. I have uploaded more than 20 public builds since next fest but only now have I started posting the patch notes. If you wanna check them out: store.steampowered.com/news/app/245...

Work in progress of a new animal petting feature. It looks a bit rough atm 😅 But we need animal petting, right? 🐈🐕 #gamedev #indiegame

Made rocks bounce arrows, but now we can mine with the bow 🪨⛏️🏹 Should I keep it? 🤔 #gamedev #indiegame

The Hunter is a deadly enemy. Don't think you can defeat him with a melee weapon 🏹 #gamedev #indiegame

Nikodem Lokatelj @barrierx.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

I thought my arrows were missing but I forgot that my enemies can dodge too 😄 So I added that little "Dodge!" text to see when it happens. #gamedev #indiegame

I fixed my store page and tried to get included in the steam pve survival crafting fest again but it's not going to happen. That's a lesson learned :) #gamedev

My new bag & backpack system gives you an extra inventory tab. You can easily pickup items and switch between tabs. The small bag has a different shape so it can't fit large items, but the backpack basically doubles your inventory space. #indiedev #gamedev

The early demo testers complained that the inventory storage is too small. What I did is I doubled most inventory stacks and heavily reduced item spawn in the levels. I think it helped a bit 😄 #gamedev

What do we think of wispy wind lines going into and out of caves? 💨 Ignore the annoying buzzing and baby yoda🪰 😄 #gamedev

New hit effect makes enemies fly back. Is it too much? #gamedev
