Little #animation trick we use all the time 😁 This is so much quicker than creating a ground reference and easier than using a finger for alignment 😅 #indiedev #gamedev

Where we lived and played games and made games for about a year 😄 this van was our home and studio. We even had a tiny desk and an even tinier power bank that was barely capable of charging our laptops at the time 😆 #indiedev #gamedev #gamedevelopment #vanlife #gamedevlife

Building designs for our game Aeon Guard. We wanted the world to feel dark, extra terrestrial yet familiar, and somewhat dangerous. We drew everything with silhouettes, not really pre planning anything, just experimenting and having fun with it. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #gameart #gamedesign

Cookiecrayon @cookiecrayon.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

For our cozy packing game, Snug, we added the option to choose a second language to learn the names of the items you pack. Could come in handy for that next trip ☺️! store.steampowered.com/app/4017680/... #wishlistwednesday #wip #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #cozygame

We made a quick little video that shows our art 👉 rig 👉 animation pipeline in Unity for Mingle ☺️ Would love any tips on other methods of animating 2d in Unity that don't involve sprite sheets or parenting to nulls! #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #animation #gameprocess

All the symbols we designed for Aeon Guard. In the game, each one is formed by a different pattern sequence you trace with your hands. Inspired by art we were surrounded by at the time, with hints of Māori design woven in too. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #gameart #gamedesign

Sharing some of the concept art we did in procreate for our little game Snug Does anyone else use procreate for final game art? What do you think of the process? We find it a bit slow, but also love to be able to make game art anywhere #indiegame #indiedev #gameart #gamedesign #gamedev #procreate

Are we the only ones that never even knew this button existed?! We recently spent hours trying to figure out why one computer would play past the steamworks error and another computer wouldn’t, and turns out it was due to this tiny little button we never even knew about 🫣 #indiedev #gamedev
