Hello, World! I realize I accidentally dropped off the face of the earth for the bit here... But good news! I've been hard at work on Flux Empyrean and it releases on July 13th! #indiegame #gamedev #steam #godot

My #videoessay for Flux Empyrean is done! If you've ever wanted to see a #gamedev ramble from the perspective of a player on their own game, you can see it here: youtu.be/Lizt03ZuLIg?...

The video essay for Flux Empyrean is edited and scheduled to upload later today! I'm excited for this first big chance to share some of the deeper content of the game. #videoessay #indiegame #fluxempyrean #arg #theory

Making a video essay is tough work! Respect to everyone who does it for a living. It's been fun to work on one alongside the game itself. It's been good because I've been working on the game's endings, so I can't really share much about it! #videoessay #gamedev #indiegame #FluxEmpyrean

Would it be weird for a game developer to create a video essay / theory style video about their own game? I'm wondering if it could create worthwhile interest, especially if that's the kind of audience the game is for.

In a world where more and more things are created by AI, choosing to make something beautiful by yourself becomes a form of silent rebellion.

Steam page is under review - Flux Empyrean should be visible in a few days! #steam #indiegame #gamedev

Been quiet for a while - been hard at work getting a Steam page ready to go! Stay tuned for more... I'm really excited to finally get it posted! #gamedev #indiegame #fluxempyrean #godot #steam

It is the best when you return to an old project and immediately fix a major bug you couldn't solve before. My game, Dungeon-Dungeon, was having pathfinding issues because entities were occupying multiple spots. No more! Now they can only have one location. #godot #gamedev #indiedev

Was just doing some testing when I saw a planet rising on the horizon. So beautiful! #gamedev #indiegame #planet #space #gaming

Worked on smoothing out the telescope in my game. What do you think? #fluxempyrean #gamedev #indiegame #ocean #planet #scifi

Working on some terminal-based stuff for my game. Implementing a basic ssh clone. The goal is for the player to be able to remotely access information across terminals. #indiegame #gamedev #terminal #ssh #fluxempyrean

This is not a drawing, this is a game. My goal for #fluxempyrean has been to make every moment screenshot-worthy. Did I succeed? #indiedev #gaming #scifi #retroscifi #vintagescifi #space #ocean

Man, vacations are fun, but spending a while away from your projects really makes you want to work on them again. I miss my game!!

How do you navigate by the stars? In a game about sailing the open ocean with the stars are your guide, it's a crucial question. From a game design standpoint, it raises another: How much information should the player be given? #indiedev #gamedev #gamedesign #FluxEmpyrean

"To my good colleagues at the Corba Temple, I regret to inform you that I will not be visiting. Something is afoul there. It was obvious the last time I wandered your halls. To be clear, something is wrong with the temple itself... Do you not feel it?" #FluxEmpyrean #indiedev #indiegame #temple
