Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy #gamedev #indiedev I need some advice. Which one is better? 1st -> Unsynced, everything raw, wild west 2nd -> On the same beat 3rd -> Alternating but still on same beat

No country for old men, but we don't discriminate! The Veteran starts with an extra moniker, maybe they have been here before? Get them out. Or die trying. #ScreenshotSaturday #indiegame #gamedev

It's 23:47. The end of a very long and tiring day. All you want is a quick bite of a game. Maybe some power fantasy, a sprinkle of blood, a crowd cheering you on. You've got 7 hours and some change till the next day starts full steam. Dash Dash Dead is here for you! #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Thank you for giving Dash Dash Dead Demo a spin! It was exciting and humbling at the same time, seeing so many players, getting incredible feedback and even two reviews! But now it's time to finish the game! See you on the show floor soon! store.steampowered.com/news/app/337...

What a weird and stupid idea to change the aspect ratio of a game a few months before launch. Who would even do such a stupid thing.... Anyway, happy #ScreenShotSaturday! How does this look? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Peter Mehlmann @petermehlmann.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

You know there is a discoverability problem in the industry when a studio that released a critically acclaimed masterpiece launches another game and the first time you hear about the launch is when reading the layoff notice.

I am putting off making short form content, because it is new and makes me feel uncomfortable that I can't provide the quality I'm used to when it comes to areas in game dev that I'm good at. There, I said the quiet part out loud. Now back to recording.

Peter Mehlmann @petermehlmann.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

I am salty, that's my sin in this. But when a game is published by Ubisoft, I don't think Indie Arena Booth is the place for them.

Peter Mehlmann @petermehlmann.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy all! Dash Dash Dead Demo is going to retire at the end of this week (19th July). I've got a lot of cool feedback, lot's of comments but it's time to put it away and concentrate on finishing the game! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

As part of Next fest, @ezekielthethird.bsky.social played my game!!!!!!!!!!! I could not see it live, but the video is FINALLY on youtube! I can not say how nerve wrecking it is to see people play and every time it happens I feel humbled! Check it out here: youtu.be/40Xj0cs6xDM?... (TS: 7:24:00)

Happy #ScreenshotSaturday! It's been a while so time for a re-intro! Dash Dash Dead is the cyber trash filled power fantasy we all need after a hard day. You might be dead anyway, why not KILL some time or enemies? Grab some items, touch dogs and earn your fame with ratings! #indiegame #gamedev

0124

Peter Mehlmann @petermehlmann.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

Hey fellow #gamedev! Be honest: If someone would contact you that they liked your game so much, it inspired them to make their own and it’s launching soon. How would that make you feel? Would you give advice? Play their game? Collab with a bundle or cross promo?

Happy to report that the rat is no longer a dickhead and won't slow you down too much. Happy Wednesday!

Watching dropped frames while Unreal Engine does it's CookBuildRun and hearing "Additive Bugs". That's going to be my new mantra.

Peter Mehlmann @petermehlmann.bsky.social · 17/06/2026

I have a lot of thoughts about this #SteamNextFest Got high hopes for the personalised version, but so far it’s worse than other festivals I managed to get into. Will do a broader write up once it’s over.

Spent most of the week trying to improve how you can actually hit things. Did it work? Once steam lets me, the update to demo goes live and you can try it. #ScreenshotSaturday #indiegame #gamedev

Heeeeeeeeeeeey is it still #ScreenshotSaturday ? Don't care, here are some of the characters you'll be able to play at launch. Did you unlock the second one in the demo? If not, all you have to do is slay the Kingslayer. Easy peasy. Get moving, the cameras are rolling! 💀☠️💀

Peter Mehlmann @petermehlmann.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

Feedback suggested a totally reasonable thing. I want to make sure those are addressed. This quest started 2 days ago and this is my life now.

This little buddy made it into the demo. Best feature ever. Takes pictures of you occasionally and moving around you. #ScreenshotSaturday

Peter Mehlmann @petermehlmann.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

The spread is wild due to RNG and while there is no pressure to speedru, SOMEONE beat one of the main missions in 2:08. Next build will introduce a weekly leaderboard reset, until then, do you think you can do better? #indiegame #gamedev
