Released my first game today. Came home to a cake with The Blessed Fool logo, made by my wife. Should ship games more often. #pixelart #gamedev #gaming #indiegame

My wife played The Blessed Fool yesterday. When she finished, she said only one thing: "It felt like lancing an abscess." In a good way. The game is out now on Steam. I hope this story stays with you🎉 store.steampowered.com/app/3396560?... #indiegame #pixelart #pointandclick #horrorgame

One week left until The Blessed Fool is released. I'm so glad I finally finished this project — it took me 2 years. Two feelings are boiling inside me: joy and shame. Below is a short story of how these two years went, and why shame outweighs joy in me🧵 #pixelart #gamedev #gaming #indiegame

Over the past two weeks, I’ve been polishing the demo for my main game while also continuing work on my card game. And today, my project officially passed Steam moderation — which means I’m now confirmed to take part in the June 2026 Steam Next Fest🎉 #gamedev #GodotEngine #gaming #indiegame

This May Saturday, I felt a strong urge to sit down and write about the work I’ve done this week. I dedicated the entire week to my second game — Aces Up Magic. I added background music, fixed bugs, and, most importantly, implemented two animations🧵 #SaturdayDevlog #indiegame

Saturday, friends — time for #SaturdayDevlog This week was quite productive. I assembled almost three more locations. Now comes the hardest part: polishing. In my experience, fixing small, subtle bugs is the most exhausting kind of work🔽 #pixelart #gamedev #2D #GodotEngine #gaming #indiegame

Saturday returns! I take a moment to account for the week’s small but stubborn work. #SaturdayDevlog The next cutscene now stands close to completion. Only a few frailties remain — minor bugs and sprites awaiting their proper form. #pixelart #gamedev #2D #GodotEngine #gaming #indiegame

I recently learned that the developers of Factorio used to publish a post every Friday about the work they had done during the week. I really loved this idea — it creates an extra layer of responsibility, both to other people and to yourself. #pixelart #gamedev #2D #GodotEngine #gaming #indiegame

I've been learning Godot for over a year, and my most productive period was from September to November. On my mentor’s advice, I switched from GDScript to C#. Here is my learning project: a simple Aces Up solitaire. #gamedev #2D #GodotEngine #gaming #GameDesign #indiegame

I want to share album that forever changed my life. This music taught me to look at things and life from an entirely different perspective. I recommend it to everyone who seeks in art not just entertainment, but unvarnished truth, even if it’s bitter at times. open.spotify.com/album/6nIafA...

I watched Sergei Parajanov’s "Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors" for the first time and am utterly stunned, above all by how deeply he delved into Ukrainian folklore. Every frame radiates his effort to grasp the essence of the Ukrainian people, weaving a magnificent synergy between visuals and music.

My favorite way to relax is a walk. I cross the whole city to reach what I believe is “the best place on earth.” I can sit there for hours, listening to music, sorting out my thoughts, and simply enjoying life. Everyone should have a place where they can feel at one with nature.

I’m amazed at how David Lynch conveyed human loneliness in S3E13. The final shot—Ed standing alone at his gas station—is pure genius. Such simple imagery, yet so powerful. In that moment, I felt completely connected to him. #davidlynch #twinpeaks #movie

In July, I started making a new game. Before the new year, I decided to do a small project called "The Blessed Fool". The ideological instigator is the wonderful "The Last Door", which I love first of all for its amazing direction👁️ #pixel #indiegame #gamedev #2D #gaming #GameDesign #pointandclick
