I'm catching up on showcases starting with this lovely trailer for Hoa 2 from @seagshowcase.bsky.social! What were you favorite announcements from Summer Game Fest?

Uploaded my prototype to Itch, my first ever release! uillyth.itch.io/verdigris-va... Now you can check out the fast and smooth antigrav vehicle controls and the beautiful environment without all the encoding artifacts. Also includes a radio with songs I made :) #GameDev #GodotEngine #Godot

Just started playing #oddfauna. I don't usually go in for building/crafting games but I couldn't resist the graphics and general vibe. Unfortunately I am utterly clueless 🤣 Should I be feeding my Terrabeast? Is it good or bad to base build on its back? Any tips? #cozygame #indiegame #wholsomegames

It's been a very hot day here an #NGF26 and my poor little #macmini has been getting very hot 🔥 I remembered a trick ol ZX Spectrum programmers used to cool them down. Not sure it works here though 😁 #indiedev #indiegame

Been a very busy day here at the #NorwichGamesFestival Lots of people playing #Shorticulture and lots of great feedback. Coming to the end of the day now but I will be back for more tomorrow. #NGF26 #indiegame #indiedev

Happy #screenshotsaturday!! Final push before #NGF26! I have been adding surface detail to better sell the idea of old derelict machines. A process I call greeblification! #indiedev #norwichgamesfestival #godot #indiegame

Super stoked that Memory's Reach is in the Thinky Direct! I'm showing a brand new area and a new holo-puzzle type (which you can catch a glimpse of in the trailer below). Check out the direct in a couple of weeks!

1 week until #NGF26! I made the final changes to the demo level layout last night. Still time for tweaking and cosmetic improvements. But no more major changes or additions. #indiegame #indiedev #godotengine #norwichgamesfestival #gaming

Don't miss the chance to play Shorticulture and many other great games at #NGF26. Be great to see you there! #indiegame #indiedev #godotengine #solodev

Another #gototengine game with some similar themes to Shorticulture. Will definitely be checking it out.

With all this talk of vibe coding I thought I'd try Cat GPT (Gluttonous Purring Thing). Not sure it's a productivity win. Most suggestions involve feeding, opening doors and scratching that spot under his chin. Then there's all the fluff in the keyboard 🙄 #indiedev #coding #devtools #godotengine

It was the regular Cambridge Game Makers meetup last night so I took along a build of Shorticulture on my trusty deck. Got some useful feedback and also caught up on the progress of some other great indie projects including - Super Spelling Ducks and Resolute Bay. #indiegame #indiedev #godotengine

So it's #trailertuesday and there is a brand new trailer for my #indiegame Shorticulture. More updates coming soon, but for now just sit back and enjoy this teaser. #godotengine #solodev bsky.app/profile/play...

My son just got a Switch 2, which means I just got an OG Switch 😁 What should I play? I have always fancied giving Luigis Mansion a go. And people say there is a #pickmin vibe about my game #shorticulture - so maybe I should play that? Any suggestions? #nintendo #switch #whattoplay

Good to see! I can understand people sticking with one of those legacy engines for a project they've already started. But I'm sure they have all been looking longingly at Godot planning a fresh start on solid open source foundations for their next project 😁

How near to a deadline is too close to upgrade your engine? 🤔 I just moved to 4.6.2 less that 3 weeks before exhibiting #norwichgamesfestival. Dare I go to 4.6.3 now? Of course I will 🤣 Thanks' for keeping the updates coming 👍

Happy #screenshotsaturday everyone! Been a while, but I ready to start sharing more about the cozy solar-punk puzzle adventure I have been building in #godotengine. More coming soon - stay tuned!

It's true. I was there and proud to have been part of the first ever @debugmag.com festival. But I didn't realize there would be a Cambridge enclave. I just set up on the first available pitch 🤣

Just stumbled upon this and it looks just my kind of thing. Will be checking out the demo later.

Love the look of this character. That's, what has drawn me in to check this one out. Realizing now as a #gamedev I should be analysing exactly what makes me, and others, click the link. Any suggestions?

Maybe, I just clicked on the "Release Demo" button for The Abbess Garden and maybe you can play it now 😱 store.steampowered.com/app/3873090/... (it's a cozy and historical gardening game ;) ) #indiedev #cozygame #gamedev

I have been playing the beautiful Spring Falls by @sparsegamedev.bsky.social for inspiration. Obviously some thematic similarities, but it also has mechanic involving making connections. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Peter Dale @petedale.bsky.social · 27/07/2025
Still prototyping. The idea is that flowers convert sunlight into energy which is transferred into the circuits of ancient machines. Playing with different ways of visualising that and mechanics around blocking/unblocking the sunlight. #godotengine #indiedev #gamedev #blender3d #godot #indiegame

Well this is exciting!! I love the idea of being able to do a bit of modeling and animation work on my iPad in a coffee shop. Can't wait to see how it comes together #blender3d #indiedev

Been a long time since I painted miniatures but this makes me want to get back into it. Think I would have to go with some kind of showy custom paint job. Very cool!

They look awesome! Just discovered this account and am trying to work out what this body of work is from. Seems to be a heap of lore behind it. Book? RPG? Portfolio? Whatevs, love it anyway.
