I returned to building my rhythm bullet heaven game and realised it's kinda hard to know what the heck is going on. So I plopped a world map on there. It's nice to have goals. #gamedev #godot #rhythm #bulletheaven #indiedev

Yeah I've been using the udm=14 version of Google as my default search engine for a while, which I think is similar to -ai. Not sure how much longer that'll work though given the changes coming tomorrow.

Ooh respect. Yeah I need to properly degoogle but it is gonna take some time.

Hopefully not a jinx but I believe I've made the final changes before I launch my demo later today. Watch this space! 😀 #steam #gamedev #rhythmgames #demolaunch #gaming

I'm releasing my demo on Monday and want it put on the record that it still 100% feels like I'm cosplaying as an indie dev ✌️

Anyone ever do that thing where you set up a really nice pipeline for creating content for your game, then hit a writer's block when it comes time to actually create any? #gamedev #indiedev #gamedesign

Aidan @crayonhouse.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

I was planning to but decided to let the demo cook a bit longer and go for October Next Fest instead. How bout you?! (Wishlisted your game btw, love the art style!)

Aidan @crayonhouse.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

Aw thank you so much! Full launch is TBD 2026 but the demo _should_ release in just over a week :)

No plans for it at the moment, it's designed primarily for controller/mouse.

Indie game devs, when you use the slop machine in your game, it makes it clear to players that you don't give a fuck and just want money. Draw crappy but genuine art instead.

The two buttons meme where one option is pay a bit of money for art and the other is invalidate your entire creative work by using the slop machine. The person choosing is indie game devs

The game is pixelart but I would prefer the capsule to be a digital painting that elaborates on the details in the artwork (see example screenshot, more in bio)

110

Aidan @crayonhouse.bsky.social · 13/02/2026

As a smaller project, the character branding is entirely based on what assets I was able to get a hold of (though I do like how it looks). So the capsule could definitely elaborate on it but should of course resemble the game (including an example screenshot, more available on the steam page in bio)

110

Aidan @crayonhouse.bsky.social · 13/02/2026

It's a 2D rhythm action game. In terms of mood it's basically pixelart medieval fantasy, which is heavily based on the assets I had available during production 😅 Here's an example screenshot, there's more on the steam page (linked in my bio)
