I have been working non-stop to make my game worthy of being part of Next Fest. To achieve this, I have run 8 private playtests over the past 3 months! Please help support a solo dev in their journey with a repost 💜 store.steampowered.com/app/4992600/... #indiedev #indiegames #madewithunity

Well, we will see haha

Luke Reilly @i2games.bsky.social · 18h

Yeah, it gets pretty hectic towards the end of the demo! The idea behind it is that it is incremental, but not only do the numbers go up; everything goes up! Leading to some pretty crazy battles!

Luke Reilly @i2games.bsky.social · 19h

Would you like early access to the trailer Shane? I will trade you for an article? 😆

Luke Reilly @i2games.bsky.social · 19h

Yes exaclty, so demo launch along side the Steam event 'An Event About Incrementals'. Then update the demo just before Next Fest with any feedback from the previous festival!

Luke Reilly @i2games.bsky.social · 21h

Next fest, then release the full game a little later in the year! I'm working on the game full-time, so that helps a lot!

We released a new podcast episode on the run-based magic of Oregon Trail and how it may have led to other design ideas we see today. Give it a listen if you're into this classic game and/or typhoid fever www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Fba...

I show a small ability preview video once it is unlocked, but the hope is that players experiment with the shapes!

I've been having a lot of fun capturing clips for the demo release. Here is one that didn't quite make it to the trailer! It is absolute chaos! 💜 #indiedev #indiegames #madewithunity

Luke Reilly @i2games.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

The way I set up is you get 2 damage dealing attacks and 2 spatial mechanics to play with. So a shotgun and a beam attack, and then the crystal nodes you can drop around and make shapes to divert ships or attack them. The last one is a singularity you can fire to reorganize matter.

100

Luke Reilly @i2games.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Not necessarily, it is a casual game at the core! You play as a little alien that can unlock new attacks to use on each run. It's my first release so I have tried to keep the game as small as I can, while making a game with some depth to it!

Luke Reilly @i2games.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

The difficuly does scale the more ships you destroy, so you end with more content as you become better at the game!

Only the smaller asteroids and frigates, but no actual humanoids. The true scale will come from the first minutes of gameplay, compared to, say 2 hours in!

I have become a big fan of procedural systems during this project! I'm super proud of this root system, originally made for the skill tree, it is now the games main gimmick!

Luke Reilly @i2games.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

I added this weird procedural root grab to visually represent when players grab comets 💜 #indiedev #indiegames #madewithunity #art #eldritch

Which one would you have picked? Today I found myself looking over the concept sketches for some of the Nubbins in my game. These were all so cute, it was hard to decide on one! #cute #gamedev #indiedev #conceptart

5 sketches of a slime-like blob with a cute face inside various sweet wrappers.

I have had a few people say that my game Cinderline reminds them about Garn47. I just had to look it up out of curiosity. My god I can’t believe I never knew about this game it is amazing. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #ps1 #garn47

I think it's fun when a game has references to other games, even small ones like the name of a character. This #TheStanleyParable one has (perhaps fittingly) the most overt "this is a reference" message. #GameDev #IndieDev
