Building my own studio as a self-taught dev, programmer, marketer, and entrepreneur hasn't been easy, but seeing players get hands-on with the games and having it resonate with them makes it worth it. Another one in the books! 🔥 #DreamCon #IndieGameDev #Gaming #blerdsky

We got into an event in VA Beach. This is the first time we're prioritizing merch, but downloads are still key. I made this mock-up to let folks know about the merch, where to get the game, & our social media links. #indiegamedev #merch #entrepreneur #gamestudio #blerd #blerdsky

Very Early but this is what I have of Nora and the new shop. This is what is available so far. I'll need a new background for her, and I want to have some VA work for her before the end of the Season of Fire. #indiegamedev #afrofuturism #blackanime #blerds #blerdsky

Kaleb Parham: Indie Game Dev at KaPa ENT @kalebpdev.bsky.social · 12/04/2025

Introducing Nora to Panic Gem Odyssey! She runs the shop (starting in The Season of Fire). Players can build a relationship with her. If they do, she may give them discounts. What do you think? #PanicGemOdyssey #indiegamedev #indiegames #videogameart #blerds #afrofuturism #blerdsky #indiesky

New Stuff Coming to Panic Gem Odyssey: The Season of Fire. These are the new skins that will be available for purchase (with Ganda Bucks). #indiegamedev #indiegame #puzzlegame #panicgemodyssey #blerdsky #indiesky #screenshotsaturday #followfriday

Kaleb Parham: Indie Game Dev at KaPa ENT @kalebpdev.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

I've been asked about my future plans for Panic Gem Odyssey. The main thing right now is the Season of Fire - some gradual updates to be released over time. #indiegamedev #mobilegames #blackcharacters #panicgemodyssey

Kaleb Parham: Indie Game Dev at KaPa ENT @kalebpdev.bsky.social · 17/03/2025

I've had a lot of people ask me a lot of questions about Buzz Kill Zero: like what I plan to add or do, and what my plans are for the future. This first post will address my goals with Buzz Kill Zero. #indiegamedev #indiegame #retrogames #shmup #danmaku #bullethell #retrogame

Kaleb Parham: Indie Game Dev at KaPa ENT @kalebpdev.bsky.social · 13/03/2025

I finally met Marion Toro, the voice of Paris in #PanicGemOdyssey! We had a mini-interview & she gave some great advice & encouragement to future voice actors! #indiegamedev #voiceacting #blerds #blerdcon

Here are some moments from BlerdCon 2025! I can't lie - this Con easily is one of my most memorable!!! #blerds #indiegamedev #indiegames #shmups #puzzlegame

Kaleb Parham: Indie Game Dev at KaPa ENT @kalebpdev.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

Being an #indiegamedev & an #entrepreneur is one of the most challenging yet rewarding things I've ever done. There's always a new challenge to overcome & figure out! Very challenging. But I was prepared. I play Dodonpachi! #indiedev #indiegames #businessowner #blackbusiness #blerdsky

Kaleb Parham: Indie Game Dev at KaPa ENT @kalebpdev.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

So, I decided to make the @kapaent.com BlueSky page yesterday. There is where I will post updates, news, ads, etc. This profile will be shifting to me being a developer. So if you like my games, go follow KaPa ENT! #indiegames #indiegamedev #videogames #entrepreneur

Kaleb Parham: Indie Game Dev at KaPa ENT @kalebpdev.bsky.social · 05/02/2025

I will be looking for sprite artists to draw this character in Buzz Kill Zero soon (not yet, but soon). If interested, please comment below or DM me! #indiegames #pixelart #pixelartists #16bit #indiesky

Kaleb Parham: Indie Game Dev at KaPa ENT @kalebpdev.bsky.social · 03/02/2025

Ok. I have been quiet. What's been going on? A lot. Mostly on the business side. But Panic Gem Odyssey's first set of updates for the Season of Fire are shaping up nicely. Hoping to make the announcement at the end of the month! #indiegames #blerdsky #indiedev

Kaleb Parham: Indie Game Dev at KaPa ENT @kalebpdev.bsky.social · 01/01/2025

Thanks for an amazing 2024. Panic Gem Odyssey had a great first year, but we're only getting started!! If you haven't had a chance, you can download Panic Gem Odyssey here: toappsto.re/panicgemodyssey #indiegames #blerdsky #mobilegame #anime #puzzle

Kaleb Parham: Indie Game Dev at KaPa ENT @kalebpdev.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

Panic Gem Odyssey: Season of Fire will have about 150 new trials in Trials mode. Notice anything different? #indiegames #indiegamedev #puzzle #indiesky

Kaleb Parham: Indie Game Dev at KaPa ENT @kalebpdev.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

Just testing out some "Season of Fire" logo ideas. These aren't final. Just ideas. #indiegamedev #indiegames

Kaleb Parham: Indie Game Dev at KaPa ENT @kalebpdev.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

Working on two games as a solo dev... maaaaaaaaan. The good news is both are basically updates. But 2025 and 2026 are going to be interesting years for me. #indiegames #indiegamedev #gamedev

182

Kaleb Parham: Indie Game Dev at KaPa ENT @kalebpdev.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

I'm thinking about calling this new update to Panic Gem Odyssey the Season of Fire! Instead of dropping it all at once, I'll update it in chunks over time. #indiegamedev #indiegames

Kaleb Parham: Indie Game Dev at KaPa ENT @kalebpdev.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

By the way, Panic Gem Odyssey is available for free! You can download it on iOS or Android. If you like Tetris, Puyo Puyo, Columns, or Bejeweled, give it a try & tell your friends about it! Download Here: toappsto.re/panicgemodyssey #indiegames #blerds #puzzlegame #mobilemonday

Kaleb Parham: Indie Game Dev at KaPa ENT @kalebpdev.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

For Buzz Kill Zero, I theres so many changes since the last convention. Stages have been altered & new scoring tricks have been added, but the biggest change - mashing fire really fast increases difficulty faster & enemies adapt to it. #indiegames #indiegamedev #shmup

060

Kaleb Parham: Indie Game Dev at KaPa ENT @kalebpdev.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

Panic Gem Odyssey News!! A MAJOR update is coming soon! It will include additional content, more ways to play, and more ways to earn tokens. These 4 modes will get the most changes. We'll give out more info over time!! #indiegames #indiegamedev #blerd #mobilegame

060

Kaleb Parham: Indie Game Dev at KaPa ENT @kalebpdev.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

Eventually I'm going to need some pixel art for her in Buzz Kill Zero. I will need a final boss sprite with lots of animations, as well as story images. #pixelart #indiegames

Kaleb Parham: Indie Game Dev at KaPa ENT @kalebpdev.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

I loved traveling to different cons & watching people play Panic Gem Odyssey. I was blown away by all of the positive feedback. Prayerfully we can have more adventures in 2025!! #indiegames #cons #devsky #blerds

Kaleb Parham: Indie Game Dev at KaPa ENT @kalebpdev.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

I guess I should make that "Type Arcade" version of Panic Gem Odyssey. Have two player versus support. Maybe use retro remixes of the game's OST. #indiegames #arcadegames

030

Kaleb Parham: Indie Game Dev at KaPa ENT @kalebpdev.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

Same with my game. It's not really a curse though. Just a minor inaccuracy. I embrace it. Everyone tells me it has an old-school feel, so why not? I might even make an arcade version just for kicks.

Kaleb Parham: Indie Game Dev at KaPa ENT @kalebpdev.bsky.social · 15/11/2024

I like this banner for Panic Gem Odyssey a lot. It shows off the characters so well. You see all five in this version of the game, it fits the logo well. I just really like it. #indiegames #anime #blerd #afrofuturism #puzzlegame

Kaleb Parham: Indie Game Dev at KaPa ENT @kalebpdev.bsky.social · 15/11/2024

I've shown off Panic Gem Odyssey (which is out now). This is Buzz Kill Zero. It's a retro-themed shmup. It's like a mix of Galaga & Dodonpachi. I'm trying to finish & release it next year. #indiegames #shmups #retrogame

031

Kaleb Parham: Indie Game Dev at KaPa ENT @kalebpdev.bsky.social · 13/11/2024

I didn't go to MagWest but big shout out to Black In Gaming! My games Panic Gem Odyssey & Buzz Kill Zero were playable there. #indiegames #gamedev #magwest

Kaleb Parham: Indie Game Dev at KaPa ENT @kalebpdev.bsky.social · 11/11/2024

Paris and Max - a sibling duo taking on a monumental task: fleeing from a dictator, finding ancient gems, & even going into space. They both commentate as you play, making every challenge lively. #indiegames #afrofuturism #puzzlegames

Kaleb Parham: Indie Game Dev at KaPa ENT @kalebpdev.bsky.social · 11/11/2024

It's coming along nicely. ChatGPT has been my biggest asset! Some things may need to be rearranged. I'd like to be done by the end of this month/beginning of next month. Then begins phase 4! #indiegamedev #entrepreneur #gamestudio #businessowner

030

Kaleb Parham: Indie Game Dev at KaPa ENT @kalebpdev.bsky.social · 04/11/2024

This is Max! He's 15, quick-witted & always pushing Paris’s buttons. Born to a wealthy family, he is ignorant of Earth's history until he no longer can be. Max brings energy to Panic Gem Odyssey, lightening the journey with his goofiness. #indiegames #afrofuturism #gamedev

Kaleb Parham: Indie Game Dev at KaPa ENT @kalebpdev.bsky.social · 04/11/2024

Meet Paris! She's 13. Her ancestor, T’enikara, led humans to Earth many centuries back. Paris draws on tradition to help you uncover Panic Gem Odyssey’s mysteries. Clever & always a few steps ahead, she’s one of your guides throughout the game. #indiegames #afrofuturism #animegirl

Kaleb Parham: Indie Game Dev at KaPa ENT @kalebpdev.bsky.social · 30/10/2024

I never showed how to play Panic Gem Odyssey. So here's a quick rundown that I plan on making an Ad. It's a fast score focused game. If it looks cool to you, you can download it free: toappsto.re/panicgemodys... #indiegames #indiegamedev #housemusic

021

Kaleb Parham: Indie Game Dev at KaPa ENT @kalebpdev.bsky.social · 28/10/2024

I asked this question on X. I want to give the visually impaired more options to enjoy my game. Currently you can mess with gem saturation & dim the backgrounds. What other sorts of things would you all suggest? #indiegames #puzzlegame

030

Kaleb Parham: Indie Game Dev at KaPa ENT @kalebpdev.bsky.social · 25/10/2024

This is an Ad for Panic Gem Odyssey! It will give you an idea of how it plays. I'll release this sometime in the future. Download The Game Free Here: toappsto.re/panicgemodyssey #indiegames #anime #housemusic #indiegamedev #mobilegame

Kaleb Parham: Indie Game Dev at KaPa ENT @kalebpdev.bsky.social · 25/10/2024

This is Panic Gem Odyssey. It's a fast-paced mobile puzzle game focused on scoring! The mechanics are very unique: don't expect a typical match-3. I've been working on it for a few years. It is currently on the App Store & Google Play for free! #PanicGemOdyssey #IndieGameDev #indiegames #blerd
