I added an upgrade that makes enemies nuclear. I may have upped the chance of it happening a bit too much while testing. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Check out Structure modifiers in my game Axom: Conquest. They are modular upgrades that can apply to any building, similar to Balatro's card mods. #indiedev #indiegame #towerdefense #rts #roguelike

Hi everyone, after some thinking I’ve decided to delay Axom: Conquest to Q2 2026. The game is already playable, but I want more content and replayability before launch. Apologies for the delay, and thanks to everyone looking forward to the game. I appreciate your patience.

Here's the stats for my demo at the moment. I've finally reached 1000 unique players. Thank you to everyone who has tried it. I'm also impressed with the few who stuck around for over 10 hours... In the demo! #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #Steam #steamdemo

In my game, I wanted to make each run start a little different so there are now a combination of 378 randomised openings, and that doesn't include your class selection. The game: store.steampowered.com/app/2143600/... #indiedev #indiegame #RTS #towerdefense #Strategygame #roguelike #roguelite

In my roguelike strategy game I am making my different levels have minor stats changes. This will increase run variety by another factor, rather than the levels just being visual only. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #RTS #Roguelike #TowerDefense

Just finished animating a new enemy for my strategy game. Keeping it low fidelity to keep performance up. It will spawn little enemies as its attack. #indiedev #indiegame #strategygame #solodev #gamedev #RTS

My demo was stuck at 57 mins avg playtime / 17 mins median. After a big update the median is now 31 mins. Still not amazing, but nearly double shows how much listening matters. Also… someone has 10+ hours in the demo, which is wild. #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #playtesting #indiegame #Demo

I'm looking for some feedback regarding a change I have made in my game. People have said they struggle to notice the buildings. Does this change help or maybe make it worse? #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #indiegame #RTS #Feedback

Hairy Penguin @hairypenguin.bsky.social · 11/01/2026

Some people mentioned how the buildings in my game blend in too much with the environment so I added an accessibility setting to make it easier to see them. #Indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #accessibility
