Enjoying figuring out how to build our biggest game yet - a cooperative submarine-based horror, No Return Depth. Here’s a quick look at engineering management. To think not even a full 2 weeks ago this was a whiteboard doodle #gamedev #indiedev

At least it means we can focus on making some great games together.

PULSE//ZERO’s next update is a big one. Sector mutations: Modifiers that impact your whole run. Visual upgrades. New bosses.

111gb patches for games should not be something we as developers or gamers should accept.

Little teaser for the next update coming to our little (ideally) handheld #godot game.

I think I’m at a point with @northforge-interactive.com where I need to start thinking about a publisher and not be so staunchly indie so I can putting games like PULSE//ZERO and the handful of others there are in the background to more platforms and a have a marketing budget

Got to play TTRPG for the first time in mostly 2 years this week. Forgot how much I’ve missed it. Divorce takes up a lot more time and energy than it should so it’s easy to forget the things that give you joy.

I’ve been working on the next PULSE//ZERO update the last few days. Getting deeper into better menu design and mutating arenas. #gamedev

We’ve had an exceptionally productive week at Northforge, first up, we’ve been working on some PoCs for what could become our next game. Here’s a peek at one of those PoCs.

PULSE//ZERO is pay what you want. If you'd like to help it reach Steam, there's a supporter tier - supporters get their name in the in-game credits under Community Supporters. Only 200 available though! northforge-interactive.itch.io/pulse-zero #indiedev

We open-sourced the tempo-locked adaptive music system from PULSE//ZERO's next update. One 0–1 intensity dial blends the layers; section changes crossfade on the bar line, so a boss theme switches in without a tempo clash. github.com/Northforge-Interactive/adaptive-music-godot #godot #gamedev

PULSE//ZERO — DISTORTION is out now. A systems update, not more clutter: Overdrive is an earned charge -> spend burst, combos go to x32, bosses read the fight and reshape the arena, and the run paces to how you play. Play: northforge-interactive.itch.io/pulse-zero #godot #indiedev

I'm really pleased with this update. It builds on direct player feedback, is a visual upgrade and there's a new soundtrack! northforge-interactive.itch.io/pulse-zero

I strongly believe in offline by default for single player games. In this new devlog we talk about the opt-in online features coming to PULSE // ZERO. Single player games shouldn’t need an internet connection.

Liam Gulliver @lgulliver.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

Oh hey! I made and shipped a game you can download and play on Windows and Linux RIGHT NOW! The beta is on itch currently for pay what you want. If we raise enough funds there, I’m planning to bring it to Steam and therefore Steam Deck.

Still doesn’t feel like the Switch 2 is worth it. The visual upgrades aren’t that good and Nintendo doesn’t deserve my coin because of their shitty practices.

Did a bunch more to Geometry Blast this morning. Added sound, updated rendering to be a little better performance wise. Starting to tweak menus more. Oh and I’m going to see how it handles in Steam Deck later. For now, enjoy! youtu.be/pROZ9-2gFq4 #gamedev #indiedev
