What's this? The game I've been working on for the last year being shown at Day of the Devs AND has a demo you can play right now on Steam? What a wild time to be alive👀

Highly recommend giving Wunder a try if you're a fan of deck (coin?) builders, or just nice brain tingle coin flip noises! I got to play the demo and it was so fun, plus its definitely been a labour of love that I was honoured to be able to watch from the side lines✨

The emotions I'm feeling with having MGDM events over for now is undescribable, but I'll keep trying to help the next generation of game devs however I can. If you're able to come along to this event, I'd love to see you all. And hopefully i'll be back in the future with other things locally❤️

I'm admittedly heartbroken to have to put MGDM on hiatus after this year, but unfortunately the demand has been quite low and its hard to justify the payments. Focus will be on the discord from now on Running events is hard ya'll. But MGDM is definitely one of my biggest achievements in game dev❤️

I’ve been making game dev videos on stylized art for a few months now. If you fancy watching some, head to the link below. Any help through subscribing, likes, views is much appreciated! #indiegamedev #art youtube.com/@petedimitrov Thank you!

A screenshot of a list of YouTube videos. They have various thumbnails featuring a stylised art tower. It’s full of crystals and magical glow. The tower is made out of stone while the background is blue. On some of the thumbnails, there is a person (that’s me). Titles read and mention things like “Start of a 3D Diorama”, “Blender and UE5 Techniques”, “Hand Painted Textures, VFX and Retopology”, “World of Warcraft style art” and more.
