When you put out a game in the world, and it becomes someone’s favourite game ever… …but they still click the refund button. Maybe just a case of someone processing a loss, while also being broke. Sometimes I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry, but, I get it. ❤️‍🩹 #aslongasyourehere #indiegames

...views, showcasing a video of our trailer! 🫣🤯🎉 This has resulted in a huge spike in wishlists and a big boost in motivation. For a long time we've wondered if our game would find its audience. If it would sell. Publishers have said no - yet here it is, proof. Our game has an audience, and...

Micro post-mortem of 1 week on TikTok with our game, As Long As You're Here: Of the many hats I wear in indie game dev, my latest has been SoMe manager as I tried to figure out TikTok to promote our game. After researching and experimenting, I'm proud to say we managed to go viral with 600k... 🧵

I love making things less jank. And making quality commit statements. #gamedev

Screenshot of git commit that says "Up at night now less jank - stairs look nice"

Important and possibly dumb question, do you know if you just need to buy one indie package ticket, and then it includes two-people access? The checkout is a bit confusing and only gives you one field to add person details, so I'm suddenly in doubt if I need to get two tickets.

The rigging is going really well you guys trust me

Here's the wireframe if anyone is interested. I'm totally self-taught and still consider myself an amateur. I'm still struggling with modelling and rigging good characters while keeping an eye on the topology, but I can see so much improvement since the early days...

Marlène Delrive @marlenedelrive.bsky.social · 14/02/2025

I'm finally making characters again 🥹 Forgotten is a game inspired by real people so we decided to use our own family as inspiration, and we use real photos in the game. Here's Ryan's dad! Catching his likeness is a lot of fun, but I'm still cursing at that stupid polo shirt collar... 🧵 #gamedev

Happy New Year! 🌟🎉 In 2024 I: - turned 30 - quit my job - went to GDC - went to B.C. - worked on a farm - planted 500 apple trees - caught bees - did a firewalk - felt lost - felt loved - cried a lot - was unemployed - gained new hobbies - pitched my game - got funding What a year ❤️ How was yours?

Spending the holidays w my boo in a remote summer house playing the new Golden Idol game, knitting a sweater, and making lots of fires because it is GREY, cold, and dark here (only way through winter is to get cozy) ☁️🔥🇩🇰

My grandma passed last week, so I suddenly had to travel to France to say goodbye. That and these dark days made me wanna hibernate and see no one. 🌧 But I tried to stick with my new project, and today I managed to make my first sourdough bread. It was really quite good. Dedicated to Mamie 💜🕊

Status of our game: - Playtesters notice the home getting cozier right around the same time. - My reaction, as a Dane: "oh we can make it waaaay cozier" I added a little candle interaction in Forgotten the other day for a bit of 'hygge' and comfort on the dark and lonely days🕯️🍂 #screenshotsaturday

Making games is hard. Sometimes you gotta pick up a new hobby. My first roll of analogue film just got developed, and I'm so excited about the result 🥹❤️📸 Autumn in Copenhagen is so pretty 🍂🍁
