This exclusive early alpha test was only available to people I know in real life. 🌎 That’s because it had a special personalized Happy Birthday message at the end! 🎉 Once I remove personalized stuff and add a bit more content I’ll be looking for more alpha testers! 🎮 #indiedev #gamedev

Been taking a bit of a break from social media and working on things that aren't as fun or flashy. I've optimized my Room System to now have a queue for unloading rooms bit by bit instead of all at once. I'm also finally adding a controller tab for controls remapping! #gamedev #indiedev #Godot

This #ScreenshotSaturday I'll show a still of the newly announced Cheat Wheel! 🤫 Abilities like Wall Jump and Dash are suit upgrades while the Cheat Abilities come from being an Outworlder originally from Earth! 🌍 They'll be unlocked one by one as you grow into your power. 💪 #gamedev #indiedev

I was trying to rush to get the Cheat Wheel reveal trailer ready before Silksong released, but I didn’t quite make it and the trailer ended up being a bit rough. But now that means I can start talking about each ability in greater detail over the next week or two! #gamedev #indiedev #Metroidvania

Requote with your most popular artwork of 2025! This one by far for me! (If we count other sites too) I ended up with around 6k likes between two posts and I’ve never had any other post break 200 likes 😵 #gamedev #indiedev #isekai #Metroidvania

Pixel art portrait art of a woman with mildly dark skin and short white hair. She’s side-eyeing with a look of either apprehension or annoyance.

She’s wearing a lightly ornate and sleeveless red dress with a high neck collar and long fashionable gloves that almost reach her shoulders. She has a gold plated ear accessory.

Haven't had a lot of time working on my game this week because of preparations for a new part time job I've been accepted for. But I did get a chance to work more on my title screen art! Still WIP, but getting there. #gamedev #indiedev #isekai #Metroidvania

Title screen for the game Echoes of the Outworlder. A moody, monochrome street scene in the rain. A hooded figure looks down at their phone under a crosswalk signal showing a palm out hand symbol. The wet pavement reflects the streetlights and puddles scatter across the road, leading into a foggy distance. On the left, the game menu lists “New Game, Options, Quit” in handwritten text.

I've been making a lot of progress on it, but I want the reveal to be flashy, so I'm stopping myself from showing it off too soon 😭

Do you guys like seeing Work-in progress? I’ve started working on my game’s title screen. Still a long way to go, but the idea’s there! #gamedev #indiedev #isekai #Metroidvania

Sketch of a Game’s title screen featuring an urban intersection with a messy sketch of a person next to a crosswalk that has a sign with the “Do Not Cross” hand lit up. The buildings have the beginnings of detail but are still largely blank of detail.

I haven't been posting much lately. I'm working on flashy new mechanic for my game. I can't wait to show it off once I've tested it enough and decide to keep it in the game! So here's a horde of Cloudhoppers while you wait. #gamedev #indiedev #Metroidvania

Experimenting with adding a dark red aura around the boss for added intimidation factor. (Or is it to help with contrast with the background...) Also added lizardmen cheering sound, let me know if it sounds alright 😅 (no double jump or dash for this fight normally) #gamedev #indiedev #Metroidvania

Echoes of the Outworlder 🌍💫 - Wishlist Now! @eoto-game.bsky.social · 26/07/2025

My debug button was still set to summoning cloudhoppers so the first boss suddenly became another horde of adorable terrors. The lizardmen are supposed to help in this fight but they're just cheering on from the background for now. #indiedev #gamedev #Metroidvania

Finally got my exp/currency UI added in! It's kind of crazy how much more fun it is to play now. Numbers go up feels good. Inspired by @constancegame.bsky.social's currency UI. I loved theirs the most when researching! #gamedev #indiedev #Metroidvania

I was originally planning to have a playtest in March, but it's now July and I still don't have enough content for a playtest. I still need to finish this game by the end of the year so I'm making the painful call to cut 4 full areas and multiple characters. 😭 #gamedev #indiedev #Metroidvania

Got jumpscared while playing through my game when I decided to open up a conversation with an NPC and forgot I added blinking to her a few weeks ago. I was staring directly in her eyes when it happened because I've been going back and forth on her eye color 😭 #gamedev #indiedev

What do you think about adding tabs on the sides that show the color of the menu in that direction? Bonus me mashing the buttons to make sure it survives the mash buttons test. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Here's a bit of a rough draft of my first go of this in #Godot. The lock pattern is a shader that moves up and left very slowly, and then they fade away where the lock ends on the left. #gamedev #indiedev

I made special spawners for my moving platforms since my moving rooms don't work well with moving platforms. It was a great chance to add good stuff to the inspector like where it's going to move to and whether it's a puzzle that can be added to GameManager.completed_puzzles! #indiedev #godot

Alright, here it is! My new Room System! Watch as the camera pulls back to show that despite everything looking so smooth and seamless, for every room change, the room jumps to the world origin (0, 0)! I put a large red dot on the world origin! It doesn't move! #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Echoes of the Outworlder 🌍💫 - Wishlist Now! @eoto-game.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

I also implemented a system where rooms move to the center of the world on room changes to avoid floating point precision errors. Getting camera locks and parallax backgrounds have been an absolute nightmare to get working with rooms that suddenly move a thousand pixels. 😭 #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Still working on my Room Management system. Got a test scene that has all rooms open at once so I can easily edit them and move them around. Then got a tool script working in that scene that with a press of a button, I get all the offsets of rooms to the ones that can spawn it. #indiedev #godot

Zara can now blink! And yes, I'm changing her eyes back to red. Changing it to green seemed like a good idea at the time, but it never ended up feeling right for me. Let me know what you think! (My profile pic still has the green eyes for comparison) #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

4 frames of an eye blink animation. The iris is red.

I'm working on Zara's blink animation and I can't get over her with half-closed eyes #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Pixel art portrait of a woman with long messy red hair in a red sleeveless turtleneck and a lab coat which is falling off and a smirking expression. Her hand is doing the expression "little bit" but it's unclear why. In this version, her eyes are half closed which gives her expression a look of either sleaziness or maybe drunkenness.

I really wanted to sing today, but it's hard to know how to include singing into a game besides trailers or credits. I'm curious. Do you think my vocals here bring something good to the music, or do you think the music is better without vocals? #gamedev #vocals

I started implementing my save/load system, but then I realized a big part of it is knowing which “rooms” to load so now I’m implementing the full Room Management system I’ve been planning for a while. It will replace my previous Area Management system #gamedev #indiedev #metroidvania #godot
