I'm still working on pivoting the project. Things are progressing, but slower than I expected. I'm trying to get more excitement into the gameplay, and that needs some major updates, which of course take time and testing. Let's see how this works out. 😅 #gamedev #indiedev #horrorgame #indiegame

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Here is the new area I'm working on. I'm also adding new gameplay elements to the game, but this week will be a bit of a hassle, so I'll share more about the gameplay next week. Maybe... 😅 #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #horrorgame

I'm adding a new area to my horror game and decided to utilize the old hallway as a pathway to it. #gamedev #horrorgame #indiedev #indiegame

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

I've been thinking about this horror game project and came to the conclusion that it might need another pivot... Yet, I'm a bit unsure what the right direction is, but I have some ideas. The whole concept just feels a bit off. #gamedev #horrorgame #indiedev #indiegame

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Whenever I can, I photograph real-world objects and use them in game textures too! With this notebook, I just removed the year from the cover and added some dirt details to the pages. Way faster and easier than starting from scratch.😄 #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

I'm updating the robot model of my horror game. Which one do you prefer? Or should I create a totally new one? #horrorgame #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

A short clip flying around the map to show current progress. The map is pretty much ready now. #gamedev #horrorgame #indiedev #indiegame

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Minigame UI showcase. Do you think these represent an industrial environment? And what do you think of the overall look? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #horrorgame #gameui

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

I was thinking I should do some sort of recap of where the horror game project is now. It feels like the overall status hasn't been updated in a while. #gamedev #horrorgame #indiedev

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Enfora Star is on -50% sale! Can you survive all 40 waves and beat the Droid Queen? If not, have a nice weekend anyway! 😄 Link to Steam in the comments! #indiegame #indiedev

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Work continues on the UI updates. Working with shaders for the very first time, so there's a lot of new ground to cover. I was told that these UI components are a bit too clean, and I'll add dirt to them later. Any other suggestions? #gamedev #indiedev #horrorgame #indiegame

0124

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

I was creating a new event for my game, and things just don't always go as planned. 😄It was a bit funny and scary at the same time. 😅 #gamedev #horrorgame #indiegame #indiedev

083

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

In this horror game, you have to do mindless and overly simple industry tasks for the company. Here, you have to check the manual for the correct switch combination. Even though the tasks are boring, I'll try to create interesting UI for them. What would you update? #horrorgame #gamedev #indiegame

1102

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

I posted one of the events from my horror game last Friday, and here's the updated version of it. I think the overall mood is better now. Maybe I should add more blood stains on the walls or something? And I definitely need to add something crawling in that space! #gamedev #horrorgame #indiedev

092

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Yet another normal sight that you'd want to see on your shift, right? 😄 How would you make this event scarier? #gamedev #indiedev #horrorgame #indiegame

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

I asked my wife if she wanted to help me a bit with my game and fill up this warehouse with cardboard boxes. She has never done any level-design related game development, but managed to do a very good job. I think she will help me again in the future!😄 #gamedev #indiedev #horrorgame #indiegame

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Progress from last weekend: Some new props with textures. The main room got some "furnishing" and now the cardboard boxes are searchable. I actually struggled a bit to figure out what kind of items this room could use, but a garage was a perfect place for inspiration.😄 #gamedev #indiedev #horrorgame

0112

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

This weekend I have plans to add more details and props to this main room. It has been looking way too empty for a while. If you were locked in an industrial factory for work, what would you expect to find in the room? 😄 #gamedev #indiedev #horrorgame #indiegame

0112

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

!JUMPSCARE WARNING! No sound, though! 😄 I've been thinking of horror elements for my game, and I created this nightmare event. Do you think jumpscares are a good way to add intensity to a horror game? I feel like they're a bit cheap. Should I keep it or not? #gamedev #horrorgame #indiegame

042

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

I've been working on this work/sleep loop, and it's starting to function as it should. Still, UI-wise, this is a very "rough" prototype. Nothing shiny or fancy, but most of the time, this is the reality of gamedev. 😄 #gamedev #indiegame #realgamedev #indiedev

092

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

I have been finalizing the details of the main room and tweaking the lightmaps. At the same time, I have been trying out some 'scary' events here and there. The next bigger thing is to get the sleep/work routine to work. #gamedev #indiedev #horrorgame #indiegame

0124

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

Just a little tour around the map. Hallway lightmaps need a bit more work, and the warehouse is still very empty. What do you think? Looking promising or not? 😄 #gamedev #horrorgame #indiedev #indiegame

072

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

The future workplace! Would you like to work here?😄 #horrorgame #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

182

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Getting the second room's lighting and main textures ready. Soon I can start to filling it up with cardboard boxes and stuff.😄 #gamedev #horrorgame #indiedev #indiegame

0113

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

I have started developing the pivoted project, and the new environment is coming along nicely! Do you think it's too dark?🤔 #gamedev #horrorgame #indiegame #indiedev

173

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

New scope for the project: Smaller factory, the chasing robot now shows up only occasionally, and a new main goal. The game now takes place in two rooms, and you play as the factory worker. But what happens when the door closes? It might never open again. :) #horrorgame #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

Thanks for testing AIndustrial! Sadly, it won't continue to full release - too many issues to fix in reasonable time. But since the concept was liked, I'm re-scoping it into something simpler. More on that next week. Feedback still welcome on itch io, though the decision's made. #gamedev #indiedev

The Steam Summer Sale is ending soon! Grab Enfora Star before the sale ends! #indiegame #indiedev #arcade #Steam

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

I have already started to wrap up the feedback on AIndustrial — more on that soon. And if you like old-school arcade games, Enfora Star is still on sale! #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

Just getting back from vacation. The AIndustrial playtest is still available if you want to provide feedback! Right now it seems like I'll have to pivot the project somehow, since it's not getting as much attention as I'd like. #gamedev #indiegame #horrorgame

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

Steam Summer Sale is here and retro-ish arcade shooter – Enfora Star is now -33%! Try out the demo first! I'm also taking a little summer vacation from here, so I will not be posting as often. Remember to take little breaks, fellow gamedevs! Have a great summer! #gamedev #steam #indiegame

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

Every project starts from the whitebox prototype. Funny to think baked shadows caused so many problems back in the day, but today it is just routine work. You learn so much from every project. See the project (AIndustrial) yourself on itchio! #gamedev #indiegame #horrorgame

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

AIndustrial is live on itch io – low-poly industrial horror, go give it a try! 🎮 Huge thanks to everyone for the feedback – it truly means a lot! #gamedev #indiegame #horrorgame

🏭 AIndustrial is now available for pre-alpha testing on itchio! Jump in, try to survive the factory, and let me know what you think. Every bit of feedback helps. Don't get caught!🤖 #horrorgame #indiegame #godot

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 17/06/2026

It's exciting to see this horror game project on this stage, even if it is just pre-alpha. I remember when I created the first white box prototype.😄 What do you think? Should this be continued to a full game next? #indiegame #horrorgame #gamedev #indiedev

Haapa Games @haapagames.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

I have very exciting news! My horror game AIndustrial is now available for playtesting on itch io. Every bit of feedback helps, so let me know what you think. Thanks, and don't let the factory eat you! 🤖 I'll put the link into comments below. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #godot

Enfora Star – Space shooter/tower defense. Made every texture (except one - my wife made it!), line of code, and even the music myself. For old-school gamers, without any of today's meta-progressions. What comes on the next wave keeps you going, or at least it should! 😄 #indiegame #indiedev #Godot

Since it's Steam Bullet Fest, I'll be posting these "ads" for Enfora Star this week. Enfora Star is a retro-ish top-down shooter/base defense game where your high score acts as a currency. Spend your high scores on turrets to make it easier! Try the demo before buying! #indiegame #Godot #indiedev
