iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I draw everything by hand, always, I will never use AI for anything. But sometimes I get lazy and I leave a mistake like this. Now I worry that people will think all assets in the game are generated because I can't be arsed to correct it.

Gonna rename this sd card to rocky

Is it normal for an F3 read/write on a 512 gb SD-card to take 11 weeks? I thought it would be done in an hour or so but now it's like 3 hours in and I'm still at less than 1% completion, so I'm starting to take these 11 weeks seriously...

this is not a problem in any way what-so-ever, but whenever I export a PSD from Procreate I get a disabled layer with this specific green color set to 50% opacity. WHY?

This is my fav so far! I could also see chunky spikes work

Can't really tell from a video, but feel free to send over a build

Never thought I'd get to see one of my illustrations on a magazine cover!

The game is called Coffee For Monsters

Gonna be at Play Sorbonne in Paris today, showcasing a game I prototyped with my partner. Come say hi if you’re there!

At least it looks like it's slowly moving the right (left) way 🤞🏻

And "no normal person would vote for the left" 🙃

and yes I'm starting to feel my sanity leave my body for spending so much time on this long checkered tagliatelle

I've spent most of this week on drawing this one background. I think what takes a lot of time in 2D, you can do very quickly in 3D and vice versa. 3D model this path: <1h Draw this path: >9h Draw a character: <1h 3D model a character: ~8h

My pitch for a game that is heavily inspired by dreams: do very confusing things that are hard to describe in words, then wake up and immediately forget what you dreamt

in the morning

A little mysterious creature in a cloak that obscures their face aside from two glowing yellow eyes holds a curved staff that resembles a fern. They stand on a grassy ridge waiting for something or someone, waiting for the sun, waiting for the moon, waiting forever.

Could someone please hack these AI-developer companies and just do ctrl+A, DELETE on everything? Sounds like that could prolong human civilisation a couple years at this point, thanks

Thanks for showing this in your newsletter, I don't like motorbikes but this looks so fun! And so cool that they're in Malmö

I made a game for Playdate Season 3! It’s called Bonkhope!! (the E is silent, it’s pronouncer Bonkhop)

With the OOT remake they FINALLY correct what they got wrong with the original N64 version: the kitsch pixie/garden gnome aesthetic

It would be really cool to see how nintendo would approach a roguelite Zelda!

010

Indiana-Jonas @indiana-jonas.com · 08/09/2026

I love both but I don't really like in emergent games how it feels like I can just cheese through most challenges. My biggest wish would be for something that feels like the areas in BOTW where you get stripped of all your resources and you're really scrambling around

Indiana-Jonas @indiana-jonas.com · 08/09/2026

I'm hoping for a good Tingle-game from this Zelda direct

020

Indiana-Jonas @indiana-jonas.com · 08/09/2026

I'm guessing the next big mainline Zelda will be BOTW-esque but it would be fun to see a smaller, quirkier game too

Indiana-Jonas @indiana-jonas.com · 08/09/2026

Me and my partner felt exactly the same, we literally fell asleep to them and it made us very hesitant to start any new episode...

Indiana-Jonas @indiana-jonas.com · 08/09/2026

I like to see people's daws that too! And I'm happy you listened to it for that long! Thank you bud! 😊

Indiana-Jonas @indiana-jonas.com · 08/09/2026

There will be a couple more by the time the game is done! Thanks Alyssa!

Working on a new ambient-synth-dungeon tune for Bibidi (with some electric guitar) 🎸

I guess I didn’t just try, I definitely painted with gouache

The way it feels to control a character has so much to do with the sensibilities of the programmer. And I had a colleague who had a crazy knack for making anything feel super tactile and toy-like. I hope people will understand some day how expressive the work of a programmer can be

Indiana-Jonas @indiana-jonas.com · 02/09/2026

I miss this too, I really struggle to find any active artists there though

Indiana-Jonas @indiana-jonas.com · 02/09/2026

Tetris feels chaotic when it goes wrong, that's why it's so pleasant to play well or to fix up the mistakes I made. Dr Mario is similar but since the goal of each level is to clear viruses and they are pre-placed it feels less like genuine chaos.

030

Indiana-Jonas @indiana-jonas.com · 02/09/2026

I find wrangling with chaos way more appealing than butting my head against a difficult, controlled challenge. To me getting past a crazy, bouncing shopkeeper in Spelunky is way more interesting than dying to the same Dark Souls boss over and over.

140

Indiana-Jonas @indiana-jonas.com · 02/09/2026

I've tried Elden Ring and DS3, I enjoy them a bit but not enough to get past the first difficult bosses. I've probably also spent most of my masochism quota in Spelunky 1 and 2.

The only hype I trust now is my own hype

Indiana-Jonas @indiana-jonas.com · 02/09/2026

Release-hype or goty-hype, most hype really kind of ruins my experience with games. I couldn't enjoy Outer Wilds and I fell off Silksong quite quickly. Maybe I would have felt the same regardless, but especially in the case of Outer Wilds I feel too much pressure to get this emotional experience
