Merci pour l’ajout! La réponse courte c’est que je suis à Annecy après plusieurs années passées à Londres et @arnaud.bigseed.io est en région parisienne :)

Rule #1 of Out of Body: what if dying was the answer? Slip out as a ghost, possess a skeleton, then step back into your body to free the soul. Demo on Steam: s.team/a/4048270 See all rules on #OutOfBodyRules #indiegames #pixelart #puzzlegame

One of the later level, it is an optional level near the end of the demo with a hidden interaction that was not properly introduced. It is now introduced with a forced move in an earlier level.

Yes, with a dark outline there was enough contrast to distinguish everything

An update for the Out of Body demo is live! Thanks to everyone who played the demo. Based on your feedback we changed the following: - Cleaner level borders - Smoothed the difficulty curve for Swap Swap 1 & 2 - Preview levels now feature free death s.team/a/4048270 #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

Both actually. Originally we wanted to do some sort of cloudy gradual transparency but that felt like a lot of effort for something minor. We had the idea of just adding a border quite recently and that solved the problem nicely :)

It only took a couple hours and it was something I had been wanting to do for a while anyway.

Thank you very much! Cheers from a dev sometimes pixel artist 😀

Nothing gameplay or readibility related, just that it didn't look "right" or "in place" around the edges. As for this being a cheap solution I agree and that was precisely the point, we're only 2 devs working on this in our free time and we have more pressing priorities such as finishing the game 😅

Thanks for checking it out! Do you remember what levels you found frustrating by any chance? We know "Swap Swap 2" has been causing troubles to some players due to a "hidden mechanic" no properly introduced and we've been working on it.

Jacques (BigSeed Studio) @jythomart.bsky.social · 30/07/2026
Following some feedback we got on the Out of Body demo on Steam, we've been working on adding borders around the levels so it sticks out from the background. What do you think? s.team/a/4048270 #indiegame #pixelart #puzzlegame #gamedev

Got an hour to spare today or tomorrow? Leave some kind comments on things you enjoy. Tell a developer they're doing a great job, or let an artist know their work is incredible. It can make a big difference in someone's day, trust me.

This looks amazing! Is it full 2d pixel art or do you also use 3d assets rendered at a low resolution? The lighting and shadows are great
