We've been working on some facial animation/lip syncing and thought we'd make an Izzie feelings chart. Which Izzie are YOU today? 🫵

the sad state of the games industry is partly our fault

There’s a list of games that influence us: Firewatch, Oxenfree, Monkey Island. But the main ideas came from a long-form article about snow leopards. And shows like Gravity Falls and Twin Peaks. Indies shouldn’t just find inspo in other games! All of it helps shape Lone Pine. 🌲 #wishlistwednesday

In Lone Pine, you get to name the cryptids you discover! I'm still a fan of our internal name for this guy. #indiegames #madeingodot

Can’t believe we made it to 500 wishlists already! To celebrate, here’s a little Lone Pine easter egg. Indie games can’t always compete with AAA games on production values, but you can fill out the world with little details and reactivity. #wishlistwednesday #indiegames

This was the first location we ever came up with, and it's been in the works the longest as well. It started out as 2D blocks, then placeholder vector art, then a sketch, and now here's Lara putting the finishing touches on it. 🧑‍🎨 #indiegame #gameart

Without fail, every time our illustrator shows something new it blows us away. Even a simple drawing of Izzie's notepad, where you'll record all the cryptids, diary entries and puzzle clues you'll find at Lone Pine. #indiegames #gamedev #nationalparks

Our first indie game. How it started vs how it’s going. (just a little glow-up) We’re still patiently chipping away on getting a demo ready. The gameplay and pathing are looking a lot smoother.
