I don't tweet much, but Mina The Hollower from @yachtclubgames.bsky.social has me hooked. I'm not quite sure it hits the highs of @nerdstakeover.bsky.social for me, but it's a great game. If you like Souls (NOT gonna say Zelda, that's a trap) then both games are a great pickup!

If you haven't had a chance yet, check out Tearscape from @nerdstakeover.bsky.social on Steam! It's truly made for souls-like enjoyers, and is the first *indie* I've played to capture the right vibe!

One of the ideas we experimented with during development for the OFF remaster was 3D battle arenas for boss fights. Think something in the style of Octopath Traveler. Here's the model I made for Dedan's office.

Due to the impending release of Silksong, I've decided to wait until after it releases and I've played it to start development on my next project. Thank you for your understanding this important wait in our development history 🙏

only if it's also eligible for my "indie games inspired by magic the gathering" list! but in all seriousness, I can't speak to @mortisghost.bsky.social's original influences better than he can, but this boss WAS mechanically influenced by Persona/SMT :)

010

Dawdling Dog, ltd. @dawdlingdog.bsky.social · 25/08/2025

Fun fact! Each of the new bosses in OFF (2025) had mechanics inspired by their core themes, but the idea for Carnival's mechanic came from a reddit comment... "What if OFF used the press-turn/1-more system from Persona?" As a fan, I simply couldn't resist :)

Picture is of the boss, Carnival, from the 2025 remake of OFF.

I have been truly lucky and blessed to work alongside some incredible folks the past couple of years. On new projects, old projects, stuff I can talk about and stuff that I can't. But the consistent thing? I am grateful to be surrounded by immense talent. Truly. 💖 #gamedev #indiedev

If you're new to what I do... I make RPGs! But I got my start studying them, academically. So, over the next few days, I'll post some of the best graphs about videogame design history. First up: Nishikado motion. This is the central voice of videogames.

Everything is hard without context-- it's about breaking things into smaller things you CAN do, and just doing that a bunch. Eventually you've accomplished more than you ever thought you could!

As in image-hovering alt text, or multiple options for the dialogue? Just so I know how to be better!

Dawdling Dog, ltd. @dawdlingdog.bsky.social · 24/10/2024

TECHNICAL DETAILS! Problem: since we're displaying text one letter at a time, "Ephem" will fit on the top line, but "Ephemeral" will not. So there's a weird text jump! This sucks to fix because we use markup tags for dialogue. Fix: Make an "invisible" color tag and shift it thru the text, bozo

Flashback to the time I fixed a text-wrapping bug in Ephemeral Legend because someone pointed it out like 2 years prior and it slowly ate away at my soul #gamedev #zeldalike #indiegame
