Added throwing to my shopping cart racing game. Took three tries to land one in the cart. The rest are still on the floor. #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine

Glad you appreciate the chaos!

New game I'm building: a shopping cart race with broken physics. Head-on collision test. Nobody won. The groceries lost. #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine

I'm making a shopping cart racing game in Godot. Today's feature: can pyramids. They exist to be driven through. #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine

I finished it. Chapter 0 of ABULIA is out. A small pixel-art psychological RPG about a therapy session you don't remember agreeing to. I made all of it alone, it was an amazing trip. It's free. I'd really like to know what you think. #godot #pixelart #indiedev

PATIENT: AXEL PSYCHIC PROFILE: IMPULSIVE SESSION DATA CORRUPTED Chapter 0 of ABULIA is out. A pixel-art psychological RPG about a session you don't remember agreeing to. Solo dev, Godot 4, started from zero.

I redesigned Axel's portrait. Same palette, but the hair is now strands instead of a single block and the eyes I rewrite pixels by pixel. First left, after right. #pixelart #indiedev #indiegamedev #solodev #indiegame

Abulia has a combat system. These are your three options. ATTACK. IGNORE. SUFFER. SUFFER is not a joke option. It's not a trap either. It does something, and for some encounters it's the only thing that works. #indiedev #pixelart #godotengine

In Abulia you're handed two pills. Neither one is a cure. Drew both palms in Aseprite so the pill highlight lands on a single pixel — the entire choice reads in about 6px. Which hand are you taking? #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Some phones ring louder in memory than in real life📞 Small detail: call trigger uses a shader grain overlay, not baked into the sprite. What object in your game carries the most weight? #indiedev #pixelart #godotengine #psychologicalhorror #gamedev reuploaded the video cause the old one doesn’t work

Juice Toolkit - Instant Game Feel for Godot 4 by CTRL_ELLE

A free plugin that adds screen shake, hit-stop, squash & stretch, flash and floating text with one line of code.

Trying to make the battle UI feel heavy and "silent" until you choose a coping mechanism. Floating text replaces boxes. Hovering an action triggers a dithering gradient. Portrait goes on the left. Thoughts on the vibe and readability? 👁️ #gamedev #pixelart #indiegames #GodotEngine

Finally finished the psychologist’s office for my psychological indie game, Abulia! 🧠 I completely reworked the room layout from the initial draft to capture a much more intimate, tense, and clinical atmosphere #gamedev #indiegamedev #pixelart #indiegame #rpgmaker #godotengine

There's a mechanic in my game called Emotional Weight. Today, I felt it more than usual. Developing a game about mental health isn't always romantic. Sometimes it means dealing with your own while trying to write someone else's. #indiedev #solodev #abulia Below a representation of my mood today 👇🏻

I spent too many nights staring at this transition. Still a small step, but the atmosphere is finally coming together. I just opened a Discord to share more behind-the-scenes, link in bio. #process #pixelart #gamedev

Axel is finally finding his footing! 🚶‍♂️ I spent hours refining the arm swing to get that perfect "clinical" weight. What do you think of the movement? I've just opened the official Discord server! Come say hi and share your feedback - link in my bio! 👾✨ #PixelArt #Gamedev #IndieGame #Animation

What you think about Axel and dr. Vitriol? They will be part of my next video game "Abulia". #PixelArt #Indiedev #GameDev #indiegame

A small look at a therapy session with Doctor Vitriol. A psychological horror visual novel. At least… that’s what it looks like for now. #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart

Finally sharing a first look at my next horror game! These are two WIP versions of the Doctor you'll meet in the clinic. I'm working on his expressions to make him as unsettling as possible. What do you think? #PixelArt #IndieDev #Horror #GameDev #indiegame

Sharing a small game jam prototype I built in a week. Rotating worlds, strange atmosphere, experimental mechanics. It’s still early, but I’m curious how this concept feels to others. Would you play a longer version? #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart #gamedev #godotengine

Devlog #2 The rotating world mechanic is starting to feel really fun, and Level 1 is almost finished. Aiming for a playable prototype by Sunday. #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev

Working on a game jam project. Core mechanic: rotating the world instead of moving the player (800×800 viewport). Early prototype, no audio yet, but a playable build will be ready by Sunday. Would love to hear your thoughts on the mechanic 👀 #GameDev #IndieDev #GameJam #PixelArt
