Not game Dev related, but today is our anniversary and I wanted to give a shout out to my spouse for having my back throughout this process. Taking risks isn't easy without people in your corner.

what happens when you stare long enough for the abyss to gaze back? Another view of my #gamedevscreen Not the most exciting screenshots, but I've been working on a lot of game play elements lately. Try not to stare so long you fall into the abyss! #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #comingsoon

I started developing Abyssoir a little bit backwards as you may have noticed from the #wips and #gamedevscreens I've been sharing I wrote a devlog post explaining why I chose to start with style over substance www.dreambankgames.com/blog/devlog-2 How do you normally start a project? #gamedev

Thought I'd share some simple character tests, looking at some movement animations. I've also been working on vertex wobble and pixelation effects. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #solodev

Another early image from the solo project I am working on "Abyssoir" Meet our main character I decided to go for a low-poly art style as it's a look that goes well the the horror-esque feel I am going for. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #solodev

I wrote more on my experience with this year's GMTK Jam, reflecting on the final product and how I would do things differently. Would love if you read about it here: www.dreambankgames.com/blog/a-game-... Did you participate? I'd love to hear about other people's experiences 👇 #gamedev #devlog

Weekly WIP! Hoping to share weekly updates and WIPs now that I am back in action Starting with the current evolution of the capsule art. From a scribbled concept to a more cohesive design. Unsure how this image will perform on steam so there may be another evolution in the future. #gamedev

Back in December I stopped posting here and had to take a brief hiatus from game development. I wrote a brief piece on why and posted it to my website. I thought I should finally share it here as I am hoping to be active on here once again.

Health Update: Temporary Hiatus — Dream Bank Games

This is a short one here, but over the past few weeks I had a surprise extreme medical issue arise. I was in the hospital for a while, getting out just before Christmas. I’ve slowly been trying to…

Rapid fire journal entries because I let this task lapse. Day 3: as expected I was unable to make any progress on the GMTK Game Jam game - just a major scheduling conflict but that happens and I budgeted/planned for this decreased amount of time

Dream Bank Games @dreambankgames.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Ready for Day 2 of GMTK Game Jam! Today my goals are to work on more design elements and work on improving the 'goals' of the game play. Feeling very motivated after yesterday's progress - the short deadline is really forcing me to focus on completion over perfection ...

#GMTKJam begins! Day 1 'journal' thread begins the theme: COUNTDOWN has so many possibilities and while I think of ideas I'm also trying to consider how 'deep' I want to go with the theme eg. A simple racing game fits the theme, but do I want something more narrative?

Dream Bank Games @dreambankgames.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

#GMTKJam theme announcement is just a few hours away! My plan over the next four days is to try to 'journal' on here about my progress, how I'm feeling etc. I think it will be interesting when I'm in a lull in my own game progress to look back on how these next four days go. Let's go!!!!

Dream Bank Games @dreambankgames.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

#GMTKJam starts tomorrow! Anxiously awaiting tomorrows theme announcement. Any other solo devs planning to build alone? Hoping to push myself creatively and technically by working solo but would still love to connect with other devs over the next 4 days!

#WIP of our Studio Logo Part of the studio name represents my family. BANK is our fun family acronym combining the first letter of our names (my sister, dad, mom and me. Not in that order 😂). What do you think of this logo progression?!

Nothing beats a good Wishlist Wednesday. Do your part for the indie scene by adding games you like to your wishlist. It's free, it helps developers, and it even makes you more attractive… probably haha #indiegame #indiedev #wishlist

Important things my partner looks for in a game: Can you pet the dog? (Or in this case, the snail). Yes - instant wishlist 😂 (Disclaimer; yes, she made me post this)

Since I'm not quite ready to show off what I've been working on, I thought I would introduce myself instead. I'm Nathan and I have been working in the gaming industry for over 10+ years, mostly in AAA studios. Now, I'm trying my hand as a solodev and making the kind of games I want to play!
