Forgot to mention here; the demo is live now. Actively updating it to fix any bugs. I've spent a few days contacting content creators to see who'd be willing to cover the game. I'll be (trying to) market a lot in October too, during the Kickstarter. #indiegame #roguelite #mecha

Kickstarter trailer has been completed and uploaded. I am anxious as all hell now that the launch date is closer. The final steps are to finish the demo build, then reach out to content creators. The demo will be playable before the campaign starts. #mecha #pixelart #indiegame

Uninstalling Adobe products should not be as hard as it is Tell me why you have to download a separate cleaner if you can't log in to Creative Cloud anymore and why said cleaner still leaves 20+ GB of files on your PC after removing "everything"

An artfight for: @space5live.bsky.social, Crisquetta, @anoelq.bsky.social, OhDearCharlie, EmIsDetermined, worm_queen, @booaspirit.bsky.social! This is a drawing of their DND crew! #Mystery #Spooky #DnD #Supernatural #haunted #HauntedMansion #HauntedHouse #TTRPG #Modern #cartoony #anime

A gang of characters investigate supernatural activity in a haunted mansion. Cobwebs hand from the ceiling the paintings have creepy eyes, a curtain in the corner has eyes glowing on the back of it. The atmosphere is cartoony scooby-doo esk with exaggerated colours and nothing too scary.

Screenshot of Samuel L Jackson's character from Pulp Fiction (Jules Winnfield) turned toward the camera with an angry look on his face saying "I don't remember asking you a god damn thing!" with text imposed over the image saying this quote.

A image of a digital drawing. It depicters a collection of dnd characters having a hot drink in a tavern with snow collecting on the windows outside. Depicted from left to right there is: A purple tiefling with curly slicked back hair glasses a vest and dress shirt, he is slim and smiling, he is also wearing a necklace. A purple tiefling looking a little miffed at the other tiefling. His hair is also curly but longer an unkept, his dress shirt is more unbuttoned, and he also has a necklace on. There is a spring eladrin or elf that has pink hair green skin and is earing a fancy dress coat with poofy short sleeves. She looks with a smirk to her friend to stage right. The last person is a Plasmoid or slime-folk he wears sunglasses and a t shirt and button up t shirt that is unbuttoned. He looks like he is gesturing as if speaking. The lighting is warm and the rendering of the drawing is painterly and water colour.

I do wonder if highly skilled rhythm game players and musicians have an advantage when it comes to learning morse code

EB Game Design @eb-game-design.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

I've been needing a rhythm-based way to hide terminal codes in TEMP-OS Learning morse by sound has given me an idea...

EB Game Design @eb-game-design.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

Last session they just discovered that they're living in a D&D campaign so I'm trying to reach out before they start losing their grip on reality (they've been listening to the OST non-stop bc time passes differently) Our DM has done such a great job with the meta elements

To give a picture of what goes on in our D&D campaigns: Our DM gave my PC the ability to hear the campaign's OST and SFX... including the Discord soundboard But I don't have Nitro so now I'm learning morse code so I can speak to my own character

Wacom recently asked me to talk about why I make queer comics, and given there are multiple bills right now floating around in congress that are effectively "we will kill your livelihood if we get a sniff of queer" I had some pretty strong, simply feelings to relay.

Wishlist goal for NextFest is at 920 / 1,000 now. I've been recording a lot of the feedback I've seen and am working on the full game with it in mind. Once NextFest is over I'll begin sharing some content from Weeks 3 and 4 of the game. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

You're only alive because a company needed to prove a technology It costs money to even take on missions and you can fall into debt Evading taxes can help, or taking experimental medicines, or even working for an AI company that has a suspiciously high payout

I think if SCAVENGER ZERO were *just* a 2D action roguelike it would still be fun but what got me invested was the world building and mechanics to go with it You get very different perspectives on the characters depending on which factions you work with

Passed 700, now at 826 wishlists. Thanks to everyone who has played so far! I've been paying attention to feedback, I'll be addressing some issues. Visibility is an uphill battle, I wonder if we'll pass the 1,000 mark by the end of NextFest? #gamedev #SteamNextFest #indiegame

It's been a fun challenge completely overhauling some of these systems Our main programmer hasn't seen how I've been doing it yet but I've been cooking! (hopefully not spaghetti 😅)

Based on when they fired and when they make impact, the remaining time elapsed since the last interval is subtracted from the length of one interval and becomes a timer.

For those who want the breakdown: Sounds are queued to play on the next sixteenth note [calculated from the length of 1 beat referenced from the conductor script]

Sometimes you're not the game's main programmer but you lock in and spend a week completely overhauling the game's rhythm & input systems just because you want to make the towers fire in fun-to-hit patterns QUAVERS ARE NOW REAL (and other notes too...)

The first version of the SCAVENGER ZERO Demo has been released. I've identified some issues with it (mainly, issues with UI on 21:9 monitors). I'll be doing additional polish / bugfixing leading up to NextFest. #gamedev #indiedev #mecha #roguelike

That being said, I did program some new indicators and had them spawning & synced on sixteenths which gave me a lot of confidence

Working on a bit of an overhaul/revamp of the existing rhythm input & buffing system for TEMP-OS to hopefully remove some of the restrictions around towers attacking only attacking on full beats Our main programmer has been busy so hopefully nothing explodes 🤞

The only downside to the original is that the online features are no longer supported They added Steam achievements only very recently (also a little odd) and some of them are a lot harder to get without being able to farm lums through the online gamemodes

EB Game Design @eb-game-design.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

Not that I think it's needed but, if they're doing a remaster of sorts I wonder why they didn't release a definitive edition with added content or a dlc or--as you mentioned--a new game instead There's so little fault in the original and it's still easily accessible for new fans to purchase
