Day 80 of development on my new game: Ashworld: Paradise lost. With the first racing mission added, new Sprite-Stacked 3D car graphics, and tackling a buggy implementation of the Save/Load game! -> youtu.be/Xf3NcHYvjTs #indiegames #gamedev

Been very inactive on socials.. but got cool stuff brewing! Been deep-diving into Ashworld2 (open world game). I should start setting up a Steam page 🤔 #indiegames #pixelart

A big story driven open-world extraction survival game? Sure in the current #gamedev industry state that makes total sense for a solo #indiegamedev 🤣 - I figured I better team up with @thegrahamza.bsky.social for some proper story writing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=avgf...

Time to mount weapons on cars, tune up at a garage and build the open world! for my new open world extraction shooter. And it's starting to feel like a fun game! With still months of code and pixel art to be done, we are getting some where. #indiegames #gamedev youtu.be/hkpIRsD69DY

One of my attempts at making physical versions of my own games. Stranded on the fact that it's just a lot of work 😂- especially for one person! Still makes for a good video topic: youtu.be/VE2bf1g54OI and those USB sticks I got made are awesome ;) #indiegamedev #games #gaming

It feels like this new game I'm working on has all the "juice" that could potentially make it something special. Obviously it's still early days, but the response I've been getting so far on this game are very positive! Check out Day 27 of development on "Ashworld2": youtu.be/ocupTgrhzmo #gamedev

Running your #indiegamedev as a business instead of a hobby means spreading your time smartly across maintaining existing games, wrapping up upcoming games and starting new projects and prototypes. This is how my week involved FOUR different game dev projects. youtu.be/JiteDuQ9ULA

My good old trusty game development laptop is getting a much overdue replacement, by "The BEAST". A fully geared out PC ready for more indie game development but also AAA game playing and of course video creating and maybe some let's play's in the future? ;) youtu.be/ex8Fxb2azjY #indiegamedev

Character maker added to the game so I can design "factions" or "gangs" easier. Probably convert it to a proper user-friendly character-customizer for the game at some point :) #indiegamedev #pixelart

I love good old school pixel-art , but with some simple tricks we can copy the look of lights and shadows. My new game Space Grunts: Chrono Shard pulls out all the tricks I have to make the space ships and stations a more exciting environment. www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8--... #pixelart #gamedev

Added procedural campfire effect, alongside with the shadow system and now directional lights (flash light) this is looking like an inviting world.. minus the pixel people with guns 🙃 #pixelart #gamedev

Pascal / Orangepixel @handle.invalid · 24/02/2026

Setting up camp with my new NPC friends (yeah, that campfire is missing the actual fire) 9.5 days of work on the "new project" stuff is coming along nicely. (extraction, survival, openworld) #pixelart #indiegamedev

Pascal / Orangepixel @handle.invalid · 23/02/2026

Working out a new system to fake shadows for my game engine. Calling it BlobShadows! The shadow is a single ellipse sprite rotated and scaled. With alpha based on how far from a light source it is. Should be a fairly fast way to render a lot of shadows in a scene! #pixelart #indiegamedev

📣 DEMO ALERT! Space Grunts: Chrono Shard fresh new demo NOW available on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3403540/... Turn based, sci-fi, time-loops, crafting, Alien Zombie's and fresh pixel-art with a shiny new shadow/light system! #games #indiegamedev #pixelart

Five days of work on the next OrangePixel #Gamedev project.. I love the early phase of shaping a world, when anything goes and I get to decide what this world actually is about (yeah, I might have a god complex) www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDtq... #indiegamedev #pixelart

Too early to say what this is actually going to end up being as a game.. but sprite-stacked cars are going to be part of it #pixelart #gamedev

The rating for one of my decade old games just changed because of a farting joke? 🤣 And co-publishing my new game sooner than expected! www.youtube.com/watch?v=srIE... #indiegames #gamedev

Always exciting to start a new #gamedev project, a blank canvas to create a whole new world! But where and how to start!? Choosing a Game engine? or Framework? Design documents? or just dive in? My process after 20 years? just dive in! ;) #indiegamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKGv...

Doing some "hobby project" work for a Sega #Megadrive (Genesis) version of Meganoid:Chronicles, which creates some struggles with the color limitations of that device but a fun video of me trying to get some good looking results! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xt2z... #indiegamedev #pixelart

A new year, so let's see what my plans are for OrangePixel in 2026! That also means 51 more videos to create on the whole "Not selling the dream, but living the dream" as #indiegamedev. And my 22-year anniversary will be in 2026! - youtu.be/Nx3753XFIN8 #gamedev

21 years as #indiegamedev - let's look at how this year was for a full time independent game developer. The high's the low's the good, the bad, and of course the money made, will OrangePixel exist in 2026 ? #indiegamedev #gamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxSA...

The year, 2025, has been a release-heavy year for OrangePixel, but since the year isn't over yet, why not squeeze out a few more games? THREE more releases coming to the modern @atari.com VCS this November read more here: orangepixel.net/2025/11/15/8... #indiegames #games

Time to balance my game so that losing feels like progress, not punishment and players don't get overwhelmed at the start while still seeing new things later in the game! AKA - the wrap up stage of another OrangePixel game :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUH6... #indiegames #gamedev #pixelart

Time to take a step back from productivity as we enter the last few months of the year (still 3 game releases coming). #Gamedev has been CRAZY for OrangePixel, can't wait for 2026 with all new games! Health goals! AND: a new desk! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltgf... #indiegamedev

It's been an extremely busy year with many game releases. So I really needed a break to keep my mental state in order. But I couldn't leave the YouTube channel without the weekly upload, so this video is a not-a-video video! .. ADIOS! ;) www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRJr... #indiegames #gamedev
