brainlaggames.bsky.social @brainlaggames.bsky.social · 22/03/2026Normal inventories are boring, so we made a living one, that catches objects and fears fire 🔥 #gamedev #indiegame #rootboundgame #indiedev #unity3d 3346

brainlaggames.bsky.social @brainlaggames.bsky.social · 17/03/2026Managed to get my hands on the new DLSS 5 👀 What do you think? #nvidia #geforce #indiedev #gamedev #rootboundgame 0174
brainlaggames.bsky.social @brainlaggames.bsky.social · 15/03/2026I noticed (almost) nothing is stopping me from adding 10.000 Cheese into a single chest. What could I try to spawn 10k of next? #switch2 #steam #ps5 #indiedev #gamedev #rootboundgame 0174
brainlaggames.bsky.social @brainlaggames.bsky.social · 11/03/2026Our living inventory can catch objects. Because the game is built on systems. This still works even when it is stuck on a turtle... I love unintentional features that just work. #gamedev #SteamGame #indiedev #rootboundgame 073
brainlaggames.bsky.social @brainlaggames.bsky.social · 08/03/2026Normal inventories are boring. So we made one that is alive. Do you think the game should require you to loot, to keep it happy? #gamedev #indiegames #rootboundgame #switch2 1127
brainlaggames.bsky.social @brainlaggames.bsky.social · 04/03/2026I made a little VFX breakdown. These are just a bit over 1000 particles. Do you think anything is missing? #indiedev #VFXbreakdown #gamedev #rootboundgame 1123
brainlaggames.bsky.social @brainlaggames.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Our dynamic fires only consists of two effects. This is how I made one of them. #IndieGameDev #vfxbreakdown #gamedev #rootboundgame 0254
brainlaggames.bsky.social @brainlaggames.bsky.social · 27/02/2026Another showcase of a VFX I made with #unity a while ago but never showed off properly. Does it feel dangerous or calming? #gamedev #IndieGameDev #vfx 0103
brainlaggames.bsky.social @brainlaggames.bsky.social · 19/02/2026Another little showcase of our dynamic fire system. Is it too much, that the player can catch, and spread the fire too? #indiedev #gamedev #rootboundgame #PCGaming 1286
brainlaggames.bsky.social @brainlaggames.bsky.social · 11/02/2026A little showcase of one of our first enemies. Inspired by Mario kart of all games 😅 #IndieGameDev #indiegames #gamedev #MarioKart 0393
brainlaggames.bsky.social @brainlaggames.bsky.social · 04/02/2026A little showcase of how our Boneblins throw stuff at you (and even dabble in a little arson 👀) #gamedev #rootboundgame #indiedev #PCGaming 0132
brainlaggames.bsky.social @brainlaggames.bsky.social · 01/02/2026Just a little showcase of how you can now put enemies in your inventory! (And offer them, so the Allsàl grants you more daylight) #gamedev #indiedev #rootboundgame 0237
brainlaggames.bsky.social @brainlaggames.bsky.social · 28/01/2026Just a little fighting scene against our version of the classical "Splitting RPG Slime" #steamdeck #gamedev #indiedev #rootboundgame 074
brainlaggames.bsky.social @brainlaggames.bsky.social · 25/01/2026First draft vs. Finished trailer... Please don't judge my art skills too much 😅 they did their best 🫣 #gamedev #indiedev #rootboundgame #Trailer 0113
brainlaggames.bsky.social @brainlaggames.bsky.social · 22/01/2026Does this feel unfair? I mean... It's kinda my own fault 🤷 #indiedev #gamedev #gaming #unity3d 192

brainlaggames.bsky.social @brainlaggames.bsky.social · 15/01/2026We added a fire propagation system inspired by Far Cry 2... and things got out of hand fast. 😅 #Rootbound #IndieGame #GameDev #PixelArt #SystemicDesign 1358
brainlaggames.bsky.social @brainlaggames.bsky.social · 11/01/2026We added a new enemy type in Rootbound. Your garbage is their weapon 🗡️ #Gaming #Indiegames #gamedev #pixelart 5588

brainlaggames.bsky.social @brainlaggames.bsky.social · 16/09/2025Made a "ghost line" VFX I'm incredibly proud of. It's supposed to always show the player which torch they're connected to. Does it do its job? #indiegames #gaming_news #Zelda 0120

brainlaggames.bsky.social @brainlaggames.bsky.social · 27/05/2025I made an animated daytime timer for Rootbound. It's the first-ever pixel art "artwork" I've done, if you can even call a simple planet an "artwork." 😅 But it took forever, and I'm quite proud of it. 👀 Does it read well as a clock? Any suggestions? #indiegames #pixelart #gamedev #indiegaming 2308
brainlaggames.bsky.social @brainlaggames.bsky.social · 21/05/2025I made more states for my #pixelart health bar "blood drops". They are supposed to convey getting damage, healing, and earning more permanent health. How do they read? #indiegames #gamedev #HUD #UIDesign 2253
brainlaggames.bsky.social @brainlaggames.bsky.social · 13/05/2025My first-ever try at hand painted #pixelart #animation. Be honest... How does it look? (It is supposed to be the different states of a health bar) #indiegame #gamedev 4305
