In Short Kings I'm exploring how to "beat the market". You see ore prices go up and down and you have to make a call for when to sell. Wait too long and the price drops with a bubble burst! Also added events market-driven events! #strategy #indiegame #pixelart #wishlistwednesday

Meet the 🕯️Tunneler Dwarf 5/106. A powerful tier 3 unit that is a powerhouse for resource gathering. During the night fights it provides some support by erupting from the ground and creating dust clouds. #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart #steam #roguelite #roguelike

I needed a seal for the Dwarven Contracts in Short Kings. Got me into a rabbit hole of how those were done in Medieval Times. But I found some good inspiration! #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart #steam #roguelite #roguelike #FollowFriday

What do you think of the clock I made for Short Kings? Inside you see the sun/moon for the 4 stages: Dawn, Noon, Dusk, Night. In the outer ring you see each day, with different icons for different events. #steam #indiegame #roguelite #pixel #roguelite

I played with some new day events for Short Kings to add some randomness and variety to each day. I really like the MOLES!!!🐀🐀🐀 event, they basically dig random patches overnight that help you find minerals faster! #WishlistWednesday #indiedev #roguelite #pixelart

After Tezzel, I have been working on a new game: ⛏️It is called Short Kings and it is a strategic roguelite where you lead a company of dwarves in a gold rush. I will be sharing more of it in the coming days. Below is some concept art! #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #WishlistWednesday #roguelite

🧩Tezzel Fun Fact #8 Every tool on Mateu's desk is real. Hydraulic tile artisans used metal pattern molds, pigment pots, and presses. Some workshops in Barcelona still make tiles this way today. Out now on Steam! #WishlistWednesday #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart #steam

Old Mayor Studios @oldmayorstudios.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

🧩 Tezzel Fun Fact #7 Tezzel is built around hydraulic cement tiles (rajoles hidràuliques), handmade with metal molds and a hydraulic press since the 1800s. They cover the floors of half of Barcelona's old apartments. #Gamedev #modernisme #Barcelona #Solodev #Steam

0141

Old Mayor Studios @oldmayorstudios.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

🧩 Tezzel Fun Fact #6 Tezzel has no traditional menu screen. Once you are crafting a tile both the Tutorial and the Quit to menu panels are part of 2 drawers that you can open. I wanted to fully immerse the UI on the environment, and I'm very proud of the result. #FollowFriday #Gamedev #UI

Old Mayor Studios @oldmayorstudios.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

🧩 Tezzel Fun Fact #5 As you play Tezzel, the background slowly fills in with a trencadís, the broken-mosaic technique famous from Gaudi's Barcelona. Trencadís means "cracked" in Catalan. You can find it in many places in Barcelona. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trencad... #gamedev #Barcelona #Trencadis

🧩 Tezzel Fun Fact #4 When Mateu gets commissioned by the townhall in the story, the building in the background isn't invented: it's a pixel recreation of Barcelona's actual City Hall. #Barcelona #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev

Old Mayor Studios @oldmayorstudios.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

🧩 Tezzel Fun Fact #3 I spent an entire summer designing the 100 tiles in Tezzel. Every single one is unique, and the game deals them out so the wall you build never repeats itself. Out now on Steam ! Friday: the townhall in the story isn't invented either 👀 #IndieDevTuesday #gamedev #indiedev

Old Mayor Studios @oldmayorstudios.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

🧩 Tezzel Fun Fact #2 Yes, there's a cat. No, you can't play without being supervised by it. The feedback I got most times about the game? Why I can't pet the cat! 😅 Next Tuesday: how one summer disappeared into 100 tiles 👀 #FollowFriday

Old Mayor Studios @oldmayorstudios.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

🧩 Tezzel Fun Fact #1 The house Mateu renovates in Tezzel actually exists. It's inspired by Casa Trias, a real house in Park Güell, Barcelona. Here's my pixel art version next to the real thing. 🔥 40% off in the Steam Summer Sale until Thursday → store.steampowered.com/app/3703730/... #Barcelona
