If you’re interested in playing a game that is centred on the characters and gives you the freedom to go off menu and cook your own dish. There’s a playtest up live until the 21st If you have a spare 30 to 45mins you’ll get a good way through the beginning. store.steampowered.com/app/4919050/...

Still fixing some UI issues for ultra wide screens. The fixes won’t be in this particular play test but they’re not game breaking, just a bit ugly 🥹 But the game really orientation lends itself to the super wide view though

Fun fact, the pictures framed in the diner are from the products I handmade for real Michelin star restaurants! I had the honour of making cutlery for 3 different UK/ welsh based Michelin star restaurants! Pretty sure ai can’t do that 🤣🤣

Introducing the Michaela lamps as a stand in to a Michelin star 😉 Your diner will need to meet the criteria outlined by the Michaela guide to gain a lamp 🏮🏮🏮 Yes I was very excited I took a picture from my phone lol #harbourlight

The progress of my game Harbourlight after a year!

Harbourlight @harbourlightgame.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

I’ve been working on some final touches before my first public playtest. The Journal UI and system, where you can check your diner details, relationship levels and recipes if you wanted to make perfect dishes. But of course every guest has their own taste so remember to adjust for each person.

Harbourlight @harbourlightgame.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Some more about Harbourlight It’s a diner sim inspired by Midnight Diner, the cute and awkward fever dream of a show on Netflix! I love how melancholic it is but weirdly comforting. I tried to recreate that vibe in a game. store.steampowered.com/app/4919050/...

Harbourlight @harbourlightgame.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

I’m modelling the interior of the diner scene. Wondering if a static image is okay or if I should just go full camera setup and have a live version of that seven during the diner phase. #3dmodel #3dsmax #indiedeveloper #cozygame #indiegame #unity #3ds #cutegame #cooking #diner

For those interested, this is the sketch of the town I modelled! I’ve always kept up with drawing by doing the Inktobers and spent a bit of time learning pixel art.
