Today let’s talk regions! Did you know Dupery’s demo region only touches on one region mechanics? In the full game you’ll be able to gamble in the casino, buy black market equipment from the back alleys, and even sail a boat in the docks! #gamedev #series #indiedev #indie #dupery #deduction

Last time we talked about how to draw lines, today let’s talk about how to erase them nicely! Our old system use to let us delete whole lines at a time, but we wanted something better, so in this short we explain how we solved it! #dupery #gamedev #series #devlog #game #pen #makeagamewithus

A terrible syndicate has infiltrated society, explore cases, listen to what the citizens have to say and use that information to route out the good form the evil. Will you uncover the head of the syndicate? Or will you be duped like the rest? #deduction #game #indiedev #botc #devlog #series

What makes a good combat system? Today Matt takes a quick look at a few games to find out! ⤵️ It can be really useful to identify what mechanical patterns work well in various games when considering the design of your own, and hopefully soon we’ll be able to show you the fruits of that! #gamedev

Gilded Rune Games @gildedrunegames.com · 13/07/2025

Today let’s take a look at social stats in Moonshard: Dreams & Delusions. There are four personality archetypes you can gain points into as you play: Aura, Wits, Edge, and Real. Increasing these stats changes how the world, and those within it treat you. #gamedev #rpg #moonshard

Gilded Rune Games @gildedrunegames.com · 04/07/2025

Today we’re talking about project 5- or should I say Moonshard: Dreams & Delusions. Yep! We’ve finally named it. In this short we hope you can pick up the general vibe of the world and get an idea for the story. #gamedev #indiegamedev #series #rpg #darkfantasy

Hi Bluesky! Just two days until My Party Needs An Alchemist is out on Steam! If you’re into cute & cozy potion crafting games make sure not to miss it! 👀 #gamedev #cozy

A picture of Heta, a hellhound companion from My Party Needs An Alchemist, with wide eyes staring into your soul and beaming a messed into your brain to let you know that there’s only two days until our game comes out- which is honestly pretty crazy to consider from my perspective personally but I understand that might not be as true for you as it is for me. Might be worth checking out though… just kidding haha… unless?
