Now that mom has her foundation it’s time to add crackle paste! It’s going to add lovely texture. #indiegame #gamedev #indiehorror #indiedev #sculpture #wip #handmade #art #motherslittlehelper

She will! Sculpy bakes at a relatively low temp, so odds of accidents are low.

Okay new technique unlocked. Using a flat edge tool to finish surfaces makes curves look more natural. Everything has more definition now. #indiegame #gamedev #indiehorror #indiedev #sculpture #wip #handmade #art #motherslittlehelper

I really wanted to play with the idea of vocal chords and folds. So her mouth is the pulsating muscular thing that is open in a soundless scream.

It was in fact a VERY good meeting. We all remembered what we’re doing and planned out some pretty big milestones for the next few months. #indiegame #gamedev #indiehorror #indiedev

Sculpting has MANY awkward phases

Time to start on Mom’s eyes! She’s gonna get through this awkward phase I promise. #indiegame #gamedev #indiehorror #indiedev #sculpture #wip #handmade #art #motherslittlehelper

This is the first time in years that I’ve tried new sculpting tools. Gotta say they feel goooood. #indiegame #gamedev #indiehorror #indiedev #sculpture #wip #handmade #motherslittlehelper

Let’s make concept art and do some game design at THE SAME TIME. It’s so important to consider how visuals can effect the player and how they interact with the game. Game art needs to look good but serve a function too! #horrorgame #gamedesign #art #indiegame #gamedev #indiehorror #indiedev

I’m not just whacking mom’s head into shape with a wooden spoon cause I’m working on a horror cooking game, it’s actually a really good sculpting tool! #indiegame #gamedev #indiehorror #indiedev #wip #handmade #art #sculpting #motherslittlehelper

Mom’s second head has the base flesh layer added. The first of several awkward sculpture phases. #indiegame #gamedev #indiehorror #indiedev #motherslittlehelper #wip #art #handmade #sculpture

Next step for mom’s second head, rubbing on a thin layer of super sculpy over top the tin foil. Then it will be time to make blocky shapes to make her bone structure. #indiegame #gamedev #indiehorror #indiedev #art #wip #sculpture #handmade #motherslittlehelper

Getting started on mom’s most angry face. In Mother’s Little Helper, a horror cooking game about family trauma, mom’s face changes depending on her mood. #indiegame #gamedev #indiehorror #indiedev #sculpture #art #handmade #trauma

The finished concept for the 1950s bathroom in my horror cooking game. So excited to make an environment that is both pretty and pretty terrible. Imagine the sounds of all the glass bottles getting jostled whenever you move. #indiegame #gamedev #indiehorror #indiedev #motherslittlehelper #art

The bathroom in my horror cooking game will be horribly full of bottles and products, but you will be able to sort and organize them. Not enough to feel like you have control over the situation, but it’ll be a little comforting. #indiegame #gamedev #indiehorror #indiedev #cozyhorror #conceptart

All my little bathroom doodles are done! Time to add them to the concept art of the 1960s bathroom. It’s gonna be SO uncomfortable. #indiegame #gamedev #indiehorror #indiedev #motherslittlehelper #cozyhorror

Figuring out colours is so relaxing. I used to do this all day for work so it’s a real treat when I get to do it for my game. #indiegame #gamedev #indiehorror #indiedev #colour #motherslittlehelper #cozyhorror

Idiom Loop @idiomloop.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Let’s pick some colours! Doing this used to be my full time job in the animation industry, and it continues to be my favourite thing to do. #indiegame #gamedev #indiehorror #indiedev #colour #research #motherslittlehelper

Idiom Loop @idiomloop.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

Exactly! Theres going to be way too many of these lovely objects to actually tidy, and the bathroom will be choked with clutter. It’s gonna be really uncomfortable, even though it’s full of pretty things.

Sketched out some bath bottles. I am going to drown the 1950s bathroom in things for you to tidy in my horror cooking game. #indiegame #gamedev #indiehorror #indiedev #motherslittlehelper #cozyhorror #design

Capy Castaway might be your next cozy game if you've been looking for: 🐦 Charming animal characters 🏡 Stories about community and belonging 🐾 Cozy exploration ✨ A local co-op adventure 🌈 Queer representation s.team/a/2890240/ #wishlistwednesday #nonbinarycodedgames #steam #indiegame

A momma cow, light-hair in a blue dress sits on a red-and-white striped blanket by turquoise water, talking with a small brown capybara topped by a purple bird; a speech bubble labeled "THE SKIPPER" shows a simple doodle of capys face smiling.

A llama standing in a swan-shaped boat holds a parasol while a small character on a wooden dock watches; bright turquoise pond with water lilies, colorful chairs on the shore, and a dialogue box reads "I guess we have time to help."

A capybara and a small purple bird nap on a grassy nest with floating "Z" symbols, beside a colourful stacked totem and oversized yellow "NEST" letters on a red, carnival-style backdrop.

Okay here’s all my designs of perfume bottles for you to sort in my horror cooking game. Did I make enough? No…we need more bathroom products. #indiegame #gamedev #indiehorror #indiedev #cozyhorror #motherslittlehelper

Thank you, I’m happy to share! It’s really fun to try and understand WHY phobias get triggered.

I have started hoarding bits and pieces of other people’s family history. All the little pieces of real media will make the psychological horror of Mother’s Little Helper feel grounded. #indiegames #horror #horrorgame #cookinggame #vintage #indiegame #gamedev #indiehorror #indiedev

Roughing out different designs for perfume bottles so you can organize them into collections based off of shape, texture or colour. Gotta tidy for mama. #indiegame #gamedev #indiehorror #indiedev #motherslittlehelper #tidy #organize
