On this #wishlistwednesday, my game is a first-person exploration-adventure with collectables, light platforming and puzzles. Big on environment and vibes, small on cut scenes. Achievements are all doable in one playthrough too. steam.pm/app/4891110 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

My game, The Lost City of Gold. This is the temple of gold though (the entrance to the city). I want to try and keep the actual reveal of the city for players of the game. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #gamedesign #leveldesign #lowpoly #indiegames #indiegamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment

A few more images from my City of Gold game project. A first person adventure with a little light platforming, light puzzling and collecting. Lots of secret areas and hidden easter eggs. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev #IndieGameDev #lowpoly #leveldesign #gamedesign #indiedev #madewithunity

I made a 14 level game about a lost city of gold. Puzzles, light platforming, collectables. Not sure what to do with it yet. Either way, it's been a fun project. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev #IndieGameDev #lowpoly #leveldesign #gamedesign #indiedev #madewithunity

I have a new game in development. A little bit of progress each day. 👍 There's something really fun about working on ten levels at the same time. You don't get bored, because you can flip between maps. 📷 #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev #IndieGameDev #lowpoly #indiedev #madewithunity

My game, Lost Valley of the Frog King was made as a hobby project, purely for fun. 🐸 Essentially, I make games for me. But if anyone else enjoys it, that's the icing on the cake. 🎂 #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev #IndieGameDev #lowpoly #indiedev #madewithunity #leveldesign #gamedesign
