My NPCs kept ESCAPING the Tavern…but I fixed it....kinda #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev

I got laid off a little over a week ago... So here is the tavern management game I've been working on! #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

My Indie Game Just Got WAY More Customizable. Players can now design the floors in my game using scrolls that they purchase. This admittedly took way longer than it should have to make, but I like it. #gamedev #indiegames #indiegamedev #gamedevelopment

I replaced my entire building system in my game with....scrolls! #indiegame #gamedev #gamedeveloper #indiegamedev

New week and a new update! I'm finally getting around to adding art to my Indie game about being a skeleton summoned by a necromancer to manage his tavern! #indiegame #gamedev #gamedeveloper #indiedev

Finished the grid system on my tavern sim game, it feels good! Just need to fix a few small hitches and it will be good to start adding art to it :) #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

I'm making good progress on my game about being a skeleton summoned by a wizard to run his tavern. You can finally build your restaurant the way you want to! It's missing some functionality still, but the core of it is there😄 #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev, #indiegamedev

I'm blown away. I asked people to give me name ideas for NPCs in my video game. Over 1000 people gave me their ideas. dnd characters, and more. I've never had that many people view or comments on any video game I've been working on so much. I am very thankful! #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev

Last Ember Games @lastembergames.bsky.social · 15/01/2026

Put your fun fantasy-themed names into my game! As long as this post is up, I will add the names commented below to the game, watch the video for more info #indiegames #gamedev #indiegame:

I made a restaurant prototype, people liked it, and now I'm turning it into a full game - week 2! #indiegames #gamedev #indiegamedev

This is an awesome Reference Art tool for game devs and digital artists, highly recommend! #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment

Character modeling is a specific weakness I have as a game developer; it's just something I'm not good at, or at the very least, not comfortable with. So here is the first enemy in my game, modeled/rigged in Blender. They can only go up from here lol #gamedev #indiedev

Last Ember Games @lastembergames.bsky.social · 27/05/2025

I did a massive overhaul of the artwork for my game. I realized that it would take me 5 more years to finish at my current pace if I didn't make a change. Does it look as good? Most people will probably think it looks pretty much the same 😅 #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #roguelike #indiegames

Making puzzles in a roguelike game where the tiles can all be accessed from different locations has been an interesting experience, but I've been coming up with some fun and clever solutions that are both familiar and different in my game :) #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #roguelike #indiegames

Last Ember Games @lastembergames.bsky.social · 17/05/2025

I'm getting close to finishing a stable version of my first roguelike dungeon. I've been adding simple puzzle mechanics like this one to it to make things a tad more interesting. I'm excited to have a few people test it out! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #roguelike #indiegames

Redid all of my base dungeon tiles for caves. Now they feel more congruent with the rest of the stuff I've made. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #roguelike #indiegames

I didn't like the dialogue boxes I made yesterday, so I gave them another shot. Thoughts? #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #roguelike #indiegames

Burnout sucks, every dev goes through it. But after a 6-month hiatus on my project, I'm back in full force. Here's an update :) #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #roguelike #indiegames

Today, 8 years ago, I started on a new journey. Here is the first "game" I created with a tutorial I found on YouTube. Fast-forward to today, and I'm making the type of games I always wanted to make as a kid. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #roguelike #indiegames

Last Ember Games @lastembergames.bsky.social · 17/03/2025

Making some locked doors, I wanted something that stood out a little more but wasn't too fantastical. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #roguelike #indiegames

I made a few tools in #UE5 to help expedite my level creation. This one creates walls and adds wooden "supports" to them randomly, saving me a ton of time. 🎮 #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #roguelike #indiegames

Random dungeon generation is up and running, starting to actually feel like a game 🎮🥳 #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #roguelike #indiegames

Here is a small bit of the progress I've made on the open world of my wild-west rogue-lite game "Endeavor" #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #roguelike #indiegames

In my game, you'll traverse randomized dungeons, loot powerful weapons, and battle a dark mysterious force that's taken hold of a small mining town. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #ue5 #indiegames

I've been working on an explosive new feature for my game. 🧨 #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #ue5 #indiegames

I really loved the depth of field in Link's Awakening, and I wanted to take it a step further in my game. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #ue5 #unrealengine

Last Ember Games @lastembergames.bsky.social · 24/10/2024

I do! I'm still pretty early in development, but I have many of the features of the game already built and I'm focused heavily on content at the moment
