📸 Photo-mode is now officially underway. You'll be able to tweak the look of the scene to your liking and take in-game screenshots, with more features as development continues! What features would you like to see added to the photo-mode? ✨ #indiegames #gamedev #indiedev #cozygames #madewithunity

First Development Update of Sundown Valley. In these posts you will see details about how the development is going. This is a work in progress version but I hope to make this a regular, maybe weekly thing in the future. #indiegames #gamedev #indiedev #cozygames #madewithunity

Working on a new, autumn design. More coming soon! 🍂 Also on a technical sidenote I love how nice global illumination looks, and also how fast it is to bake with APVs. #madewithunity #indiedev #gamedev

Quick question: Would you rather have AI voices in an indie game or no voice acting? #indiedev #gamedev #gaming #indiegames

An in-editor screenshot for #screenshotsaturday. Birds and dynamic cloud shadows really enhances the liveliness of the game. #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity #solodev

I think I had a bit too much fun playing around with real time gi in Unity 6 #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity #hdrp

How important is photo mode to you in a game, especially where exploration is key (like in Firewatch)? Is it worth the time developing it? Do you use it? #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity

New screenshot of my game. Things have slowed a bit down but I'm still working on the game and preparing some big things. #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity

I did a deep dive in optimizing games. The first screenshot is from my build from November, second is my most recent build. In the meantime I almost finished building my open world map while getting these massive performance improvements. #madewithunity #indiedev #gamedev

I recently continued playing The Witcher 3 and it looks mind blowingly good, especially considering that it came out in 2015. I'm honestly amazed that even a random spot in a forest looks this amazing! #gaming #games #witcher

I've been working on lighting recently. I figured that I like the contrasty look of the open parts of the map, but the indoors could use some Global Illumination. I decided to use Unity's APVs and set them to local so only the indoors are affected. #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity

Btw she'll be working on my game's UI and 2D part in general. Check her out, she's amazing! #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity

I mainly focused on my game and other social media this year, but I'll try to focus more on designs again aswell. Thank you all so much for supporting me on any platform, it means a lot! More exciting projects and updates are coming this and next year!! #indiedev #gamedev #artstation #madewithunity

With Christmas coming up it might be time to work on some winter themed designs again. I still haven't finished my winter design from last year where I wanted to create a really film-like look (the first 3 pics are from that project). #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity #christmas

While optimizing my game I decided to try out the new GPU Resident Drawer. That's a nice performance boost without any visual downgrade or further optimizations. #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity

Winter is coming to the reserve. Still very much work in progress but I'm getting there. - I'm testing the possibility of a semi-snowy environment in the mountains for my game. What do you think? #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #madewithunity

I'm currently working on an exploration game with puzzle elements with a Firewatch inspired environment. The game is set in a small, open world reserve. Explore freely, play mini-games, discover cinematics, solve puzzles, and just relax in this cozy valley. #madewithunity #indiedev #gamedev

Hi everyone! This is my first post here so I'd start with a short introduction. I'm a student who has been making level/environment designs and smaller games in Unity. Currently I'm working on my first game I intend to publish, an exploration game with puzzle elements. #indiegamedev #madewithunity
