Hi friends! I know I've been MIA. I've been doing loads of boring code, but now I can show off some art! Say hello to "Tide & Tinker", a mobile idle game that I've been working on as a side project for way too long. youtube.com/shorts/f_Hdo... #indiedev #indiegames #imonaboat #mobilegames

Just a little before and after! At the start, After Hours was supposed to be an interactive fiction, in the vein of Bard's Tale, with the pseudo-3D elements. I moved to a raycaster engine pretty quickly, but it took me a little longer to ditch the cool frame. #indiedev #indiegames #pixelart

Also something I've been keeping in mind is international audience. That's not to say your time and effort isn't worth something, but also price accordingly.

I tell you what, being extremely ADHD and a solo-dev is like dr. jekyl and mrs hyde. One moment I'm on fire, fixing bugs, adding features, making art. The next, my ADHD rages through my body making everything fun BORING ZZZ WHY AM I CURSED SO? #indiedev #adhd #NOTHINGMAKESENSE

Check out my love letter to the now defunct Android game from 2010, Dungeon Raid. It's a bit different, to be sure, but it's handcrafted with love! You can check it out here: play.google.com/store/apps/d... www.youtube.com/shorts/1Bp1X... #mobilegaming #indiedev #pixelart #indiegame

It’s after hours. You get a frantic voicemail from your best friend, but the signal is breaking up: "I'm at... the mall... please help..." The terrifying part? Until tonight, there was no mall in your town... youtu.be/T0L1X2lq5fI #indiedev #mallstalgia #afterhourspc #girlsmakegames

Ooo good question :D I added the ability to remove screenshake, a high contrast toggle for text, and a text size changer (editor?)!

I'm working on my next interactive fiction game! This one's called Cabin 7. It takes place in 1986, and you are grounded. You, using your top of the line Twotaris 5600 computer, will play games, solve mysteries, and even explore the town. Can you bring justice to Vanessa Vorheez? #indiedev #if

Loom & Lore Games @loomloregames.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

yeah I figured it would be best to just give it my own spin vs. trying to recreate the lost game. I've already tweaked it to work with all the different classes weapons and stats, so it leaves it wide open.

Dungeon Raid has become abandonware, so I did the only thing I could. I made my own version of the "Swipe-as-many-as-you-can" mechanics. We've got pixel art, hand-crafted chiptunes, and unique gameplay that's always being updated! youtube.com/shorts/1Bp1X... #indiedev #indiegames #pixelart

Ok, been tinkering away at this coin pusher, and have been slowly steering it into fantasy RPG territory. Here's a quick look at some of the upgraded features and graphics I added :D youtube.com/shorts/crWKS... #indiedev #mobilegames #weirdrpgs #ineedasnack

Ok so, with no combat, comes other mechanics to make the game play varied, fun, and contributes to the overall feel of the game. One such mechanic is this neon flashlight, that will reveal and stabilize parts of the environment around you! youtu.be/11hS8lnI2ZM #indiegames #indiedev

Loom & Lore Games @loomloregames.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

Oh yes. I'm already learning to separate "feature requests" from bugs lol. It's ok to trust your own vision for the game, especially when it comes to adding functionality!

One thing I was NOT prepared for in this world of #indiedev is the amount of social media presence you need to make. Marketing with 0 dollars is hard, even with a prebuilt community of 1800. What are some tips ya'll have learned in the process? Marketing with 0 dollars is hard.

Ya'll, I made a huge update to game's engine, and dropped the frame. After Hours is starting to come alive! All assets were made in Aseprite :D UI is still very much WIP, but it's all made by me :D #indiedev #backrooms #liminal #aseprite #itchio #mallcrawler #solodev #madebyagirl

ok so I'm hard at work on my vaporwave liminal mall-crawler, and one of the mechanics is collecting albums that will unlock specific tunes that you can play in game to solve certain puzzles. Here's a look at some of the album covers I've made so far! #indiedev #elderemo #liminalspaces
