I used Inkarnate to design the overhead maps for my indie game. Here's a selection of the playable areas, including a screenshot of how they appear in games UI! 📍🗺️ I wish I could have spent more time with them, but generally they serve their purpose! #gaming #indiegames #gamedev

More UI work! Still piecing together what this game *could* be. I'm in a prototype and lookdev stage to get a feel of things. What do you think? #gamedev #indiegames

DjMonkey @djmonkeyuk.bsky.social · 21/08/2025

I recently bought a house! Which means gamedev has taken a back seat while I pursue decorating 🎨 Managed to sneak in some UI work though, how do you feel about this card selection stuff? 🤔 #gamedev #indiegames

DjMonkey @djmonkeyuk.bsky.social · 06/08/2025

Working on a minor patch for the game. Using it as an opportunity to add Steam's Rich Presence feature! Your friends will be able to see what you're up to at a glance from their friends list 🤗 #gamedev #indiegames

I really adore videos that use tilt-shift techniques. Been trying to get a similar effect with this. Pushing the depth of field and dropping the framerate. what do you think? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

DjMonkey @djmonkeyuk.bsky.social · 27/07/2025

It's a neat idea and it's something I considered, however I realised it's actually against Steam policy to do this directly from the game...

Here's something I'm not sure I've posted on Bluesky before. Proprietary gamedev tools! This is a screenshot of my questing node network that directly exports into Unreal Engine that determines quest dependencies. 🤓 #gamedev #indiegames

Today I updated my game with some extra settings around screen resolution and fullscreen/window modes! Plus a few bugfixes! 🐞 It's one of those things that for some reason get's overlooked, but I'm glad it's in now! 💻 #gamedev #indiegames

@jumpovertheage.com think I spotted a minor typo in CS2 just an fyi! :)

This was the only video I caught at the #NintendoSwitch2 Experience in London (using the RayBans!) I also played Donkey Kong, Mario Kart Knockout Tournament, Breath of the Wild, Split Fiction, Wind Waker, and looked over the shoulder of many others. Happy to answer any questions the best I can!

Howdy all! 👋 I'm still pretty new to Bluesky! I'm a gamedev in the UK, and yes - I am working on an indie game. It's so close to full release! Definitely within this year. But in the mean time you can play the free demo or the Early Access. All links are in my bio! 💃🌙 #ScreenshotSaturday

It felt like the warmest and sunniest day of the year so far today. Took the opportunity to go somewhere I haven't been to before. Battersea Power Station and the park! #london

In version 1.0 of my game there will be some new options to rest bonuses when you sleep. For a bit of gold you can purchase additional bonuses to increase your health for the following day 💓💓💓 #gamedev #indiegames #rpg

DjMonkey @djmonkeyuk.bsky.social · 02/03/2025

An insight to my #gamedev process. I use my own node network to define the quest story structure and their dependencies. Counting over 80 quests now in the full game now! The blue nodes represent quests. Connections represent a dependency between them, Green nodes represent additional conditions.

How do you think you'd play at reaction-based fishing minigames!? 🎣 Tales from the Dancing Moon is a hybrid of life-sim gameplay with a isometric RPG style, and a story inspired by young adult fiction like Narnia! Links below 👇 #indiegames #steamdeck #pcgaming

A peak at some of the new museum artefacts that will be added in the full version of the game. 👀🎷 Also added a small detail where the artefacts now rotate slowly in their cabinets. #screenshotsaturday #indiegames #gamedev

DjMonkey @djmonkeyuk.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

The same applies when removing farm plots too! Which in turn made me realise you could make interesting patterns fairly quickly with the farming tools! #gamedev

081

DjMonkey @djmonkeyuk.bsky.social · 20/02/2025

In Version 1.0 of Tales from The Dancing Moon, you will be able to update your farm tools to the silver, gold, and shadow-silver tiers. 👩‍🌾 Each one allowing you to expand your farming region to save time sewing your seeds! #indiegames #gamedev #steamdeck

In v1.0 of Tales from The Dancing Moon I will be adding a "Creative Mode" option! For players who want a more relaxed experience this one will be for you! All shop items will be free, crafting things won't take any resources, and enemies won't do damage! 💰🔨💣 #gamedev #indiegames

The Loveless sequences in FF7 Rebirth are so over the top and I am so here for it. The most emotion you see from Cloud during this part. The combat choreography was great but I wish I could have fully appreciated it without having to think about the quick time events 😅 #ff7rebirth #finalfantasy

DjMonkey @djmonkeyuk.bsky.social · 09/02/2025

Wish I could say that I had a lot of concept art for Tales from The Dancing Moon. The truth is that I found #UnrealEngine good at iteration in the early phases of development that my entire process was done inside it from the start. Here's a super early video of the NPC dialog system. #gamedev
