An over grown city sets the stage for the tutorial level of NecroMerc #videogame #gaming #gamedevelopment #indiegame

Sounds fun! With Next Fest coming up I’ve been looking into doing some colabs to try and help indie games get more visibility.

Gilded Octopus @gildedoctopus.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

Definitely, I would so totally push the wrong button

Had to cut one of the levels from the NecroMerc demo. It was a really cool level but just wasn’t going to perform well on a lot of computers. I’ll have to rebuild it when I have a little more time to optimize it.

The demo of NecroMerc is getting close to ready for the Steam Next Fest. #indiegame #videogame #gaming

Been working on the bullets for NecroMerc and the mechanics around shooting.

Gilded Octopus @gildedoctopus.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

Thanks! I’m glad it came across that way. Yeah it’s going to be a first person shooter horror game!

My goal is to sell 1,000 copies of NecroMerc when it comes out. To do this I’m making a really polished Demo so that you’ll play the demo and enjoy it so much you can’t wait to buy the full game. #gamedev #indiegame

What’s your favorite fps game?

Gilded Octopus @gildedoctopus.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

Interesting, I wonder what their price point is at. I’ve definitely worked for a couple small/medium sized companies that could have used some of their software products.

Gilded Octopus @gildedoctopus.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

Thanks! I don’t think I’ve seen their software. Do you know if SCM does auditing and FMEA(failure mode effects analysis) or is it more focused on warehouse management?

Gilded Octopus @gildedoctopus.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

There’s a glitch in my character creator for NecroMerc #indiegame #videogame

Gilded Octopus @gildedoctopus.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

Not bad. Got a whole list of projects to work on.

Gilded Octopus @gildedoctopus.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

Does anyone work in supply chains? I’m starting a startup making a supply chain management software and was wanting to ask a few questions. #startup #supplychains

I like Chyton that one is definitely going in

This game environment for NecroMerc looks so much less scary in the daytime. #videogame #indiegame #indiegamedev

Want to name a planet in NecroMerc? Suggest a name below and if I like it I’ll use it and put a note in the star map that you were the one to discover it.

Gilded Octopus @gildedoctopus.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

Awesome! Once I get it finished I’m going to post a link for beta testers to sign up.

I think every gamedev I know thinks social media marketing for their game is tough. It’s tough to balance making a game with posting about the game. So I’m making a tool to make it easier. My question is would you want to be a beta tester for it? #gamedevfeedback #indiegamedev #indiegame #videogame

If I can get it working I’ll probably share it with some friends to see if it has a potential for grander plans.

Maybe I’m making a building in a video game. Maybe I’m making a video game about a building. #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #videogame
