This is the PERFECT game for the Switch and a good alternative to…*another* sokoban coming out soon

We are going to have 3 titles under our belts. As an indie dev / tiny team, the feeling is indescribable... Really hoping we get to continue doing this. #gamedev #indiegames #indiegamedev

I did it. It feels surreal. Feels like just yesterday I was drawing my own versions of Kirby powers, or Mega Man bosses, never imagining that I would actually put a game on a Nintendo console some day... www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro... #gamedev #indiegame #nintendoswitch #indiegames

I adore this game - if you have a switch and haven’t played it yet, there’s no better time than the switch launch on the 8th

So excited for this! Link’s Adventure meets sokoban, really clever puzzles, played a little on PC and loved it, but held off playing more because I desperately wanted to play on Switch!

Ok so I remember there being all kinds of weird reactions / shock about Mina the Hollower having an 800+ page design doc, but I wasn't shocked, now I know why lol: I tend to do somewhat traditional docs. For my next game, I have 88 pages. I could see this ballooning x10 for a big game... #gamedev

1. 100% Agree. Fuck gen ai. Even the CRAPPIEST human made stuff is so much better! 2. The note about manicules caught my eye: I love manicules and included them in my upcoming spooky game lol (the skeleton hand upper left). It's my own little contribution to bringing them back into vogue. #gamedev

If you or anyone you know is one of those most excellent folks that makes "spooky chill music" style yt videos (No AI please fuck off), then we openly invite and encourage you to use any footage from this game for such a video, because we just think that'd be really neat. #music #spooky #indiegame

No home is complete without either of these lovely pieces of decor, but if you HAVE to choose, and your inlaws will be over for dinner shortly, which are you setting out? #indiegame #gamedev #spooky #videogames

Choose a piece of decor: Exhumed coffins, or a big ol' hairy spider.

LITERALLY 1 line of code using Juju Adams' (@jujuadams.com) Scribble for GameMaker instantly handles what would be a whole mess of code otherwise. The PTSD from doing UI in GameMaker makes one want to burst into tears... More cool text styling examples to come. #gamedev #blessyou #indiegames

Nice looking tooltip with colors and fonts, almost all of it done simply with Scribble's in-line styling. Even made my own style tags like [h1][/h1], which are replaced with multiple scribble commands so that I can easily apply it to every tooltip. I LOVE THIS TOOL 😍! #gamedev #indiegames

Not only are the styling options in Scribble fantastic, but the utility is invaluable. The dimensions of dialog boxes are calculated dynamically based on the size of the text, which has caused headaches for me without Scribble in the past. #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev
