Just added newly-placed-level transitions in Found. As you collect and assemble the fragments of the world, you can now see them appear. I think it makes them all the more explorable. #indiedev #gamedev #steamgame

The place where two fragments of the world join. Which two is up to you. If you love story-rich adventure games, consider playing the demo or wishlisting. Every wishlist helps Found get a little closer to the people I’ve made it for. link.found.game/webs #wishlistwednesday #indiegames

The world has fallen apart. You decide how it fits back together. I made a new trailer focused on the idea at the heart of Found: discover fragments of the world, place them, and build your own path through it. The demo is live on Steam: link.found.game/ttbs #trailertuesday #indiegames #steamdemo

What inspired Found? Let's start with Monument Valley. I love the dream-like landscapes and surreal architecture of @ustwogames.co.uk I wanted to wander mazes made of that aesthetic in 3D. Experience the demo and wishlist on Steam: link.found.game/ispmv #indiegame #gamedev #inspiration

The assemble-your-own-world map is what makes Found unique, but I think it’s the characters that make it special. Here’s how I track all 265+ of them. How do you keep track of your characters? #gamedesign #storyrich #gamedev #indiegame

My to do list was getting too long, so I took a break to add some fun little fidgets to Found. Now I’ve been ignoring my to do list and spinning signs all afternoon. I did at least manage to get these updates into the demo for Next Fest… #indiegame #gamedev #fidget #screenshotsaturday

A playtester was frustrated with remembering their path in the windy labyrinths of Found, so I created a way for them to track where they've been and what's worth revisiting: link.found.game/pins #gamedev #indiegame #gameui #maze

How a playtester’s frustration led to map pins, as well as a deeper rethink of memory, usability, and player choice in Found.

There are other inspirations behind Found (Zelda, Monument Valley, Chrono Trigger, Animal Crossing), but Final Fantasy is the one that started it all: found.game/2025/06/22/f...

Final Fantasy IV. I don't know how many times I flew to the moon in the Lunar Whale just because I thought the growing pixels was such a clever trick. And now, decades later, that pixel moon has flipped the game developer switch in my brain as well 🌖

The best bugs are the ones that make you laugh… and that you can fix before the humor completely wears off. If you're into adventure games, walking sims, mazes, or character-rich worlds, give Found a wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/5120760/... #godot #indiegamedev #gamedev #outtake

Rounding out a week of travel both IRL and in Found with a trip to the volcanoes. These shots don’t show the (deadly) lava, but do capture its eerie glow. Demo and wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/5120760/... #atmosphere #gamedev #indiegame #screenshotsaturday

The funny thing about game design is that everything in the real world becomes game inspiration. So here I am in Romania, visiting monestaries and citadels and wondering, "now how could this add to the castle levels of Found?" #gamedesign #castles #gamedev

Today we visit the beautiful solarpunk region that the Tepilites call home. While technical advances have served them well, the Tepilites are still learning that just because they can, doesn't always mean they should. #indiedev #godot #blender

I’m doing some traveling this week, so it feels like the right time to show off some of the travel destinations of Found. First stop: the forests. Some are manicured, others wild, and all are magical at sunrise… at least if you can escape the enemies long enough to appreciate it. #indiegame

Found in fifteen seconds… It's impossible to capture it all, but hopefully this little compilation of gameplay moments gives an idea of the game. For even more of an idea, there's a demo: store.steampowered.com/app/5120760/... #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

Meet Naptani. Naptani has always been a worrier. She worries about her house, her friends, and about saying the wrong thing. When the fragmentation happened, she learned that maybe the smaller things weren't worth worrying about, though she also worried about the implications of letting them go.
