Some current renovation to the timeline of Time Distortionists: era rings for eras in time, icons to determine what is happening on a Moment in time at a glance, more shader and particle work on the moments themselves. Still a WIP. #indiedev #indiegames #timetravel #gamedev #strategygame

Title Screen for Time Distortionists dropped! This is the Anchor (the base outside of time) in the Veil (the timespace medium) with the river of time flowing. #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev

Most of the people I've been working with are paid collaborators! Been self funding development with income from my day job.

I work in AI for my day job, but deliberately chose not to use gen AI for art, music, or writing in my game. Building this game has let me collaborate with incredibly talented people, and their creativity has made it better. I'm very happy with that choice. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Hi BlindCoco, thank you for hosting #TurnBasedThursday! Time Distortionists is a turn-based strategy game where you're trying to stop the timeline from collapsing across 13 billion years. Every timeline intervention rewrites what comes next, and you can’t save everything.

Added pinning (bookmarking) moments (time based locations) to my game, allowing the user to go to important moments in time at a glance. (For example, when allying with moments or defending them from erosion.) Also added heatmaps for the different moment statistics. #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev
