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

Tonight's forecast? Rain with a chance of blood, occasional ratings shower! #ScreenshotSaturday #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

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

Not saying it's hot outside, but the Fools in Dash Dash Dead are chilling in the water. #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #heatwave #norestforthewicked

Peter Mehlmann @petermehlmann.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

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

Tough one, I'll give you two ansers: - JKL is unintuitive for hotkeys. I've made the game so you don't need a mouse and thought this is a good position for them. - Using a turn for active/consumables was perceived as not worth it, when there are some area effect, insta kill, powerup items

Peter Mehlmann @petermehlmann.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

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

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

Haaaaaaaappy #ScreenshotSaturday! I spend most o fmy time re-learning what Dash Dash Dead is and trying to make it more accessible. Here is a small panel for new items! If you played the demo and want to help, there is a feedback form or join my discord! #indiegame #gamedev

Peter Mehlmann @petermehlmann.bsky.social · 20/06/2026

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaappy #ScreenshotSaturday! New update queued for tonight, until then, look at how it runs on #SteamDeck! Demo in #SteamNextFest Enjoy! #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

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

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

Peter Mehlmann @petermehlmann.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

What if Risk of Rain 2 became turn-based, but you're on death row and the whole thing is a live TV show. Demo free on Steam. #PitchYaGame #IndieGame #Roguelite

My wife and I are making Dash Dash Dead, some call it action roguelite mayhem, Risk of the Raindancer, but for us it's our first game. To make this the first and not the only, we need your help. Please wishlist Dash Dash Dead on this #WishlistWednesday Any Like or Repost helps #indiegame #gamedev

Peter Mehlmann @petermehlmann.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

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.

Peter Mehlmann @petermehlmann.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

The warden has a show to run. You have 80+ items and a point to prove. Demo is live. Leave your mark. #TrailerTuesday #indiegame #gamedev

Peter Mehlmann @petermehlmann.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

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

Peter Mehlmann @petermehlmann.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

Dash Dash Dead has entered this stage. #iykyk Also, there is something incredibly zen about porting things. #gamedev #indiedev

It's a Bird! It's a Plane! It's a Psychopathic Murder Machine! Rumors have it, the feathers mean they saw a chicken once. It was running without a head. Chasing that high ever since. Playtest SOON, wishlist for updates store.steampowered.com/app/3379780/... #WishlistWednesday #indie #gamedev

Do you like: - Fast-paced turn-based action? - Power fantasy fueled by game changing, chaotic items? - Challenging hand crafted areas? THEN BOIIIIIIII DASH DASH DEAD IS FOR YOU! store.steampowered.com/app/3379780/...

Peter Mehlmann @petermehlmann.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

Rule #1: NEVER stand next to the red barrel. In Dash Dash Dead, positioning can be the difference between living or a ratings spike. Refining the tactical depth to make every tile choice matter. Use the hazards to your advantage! #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieDev #GameDev

"You need to grab Open Wound with a Vampiric weapon, drop a leeching totem so you can proc Mirror Bloom. Then use Devils bargain and stay safe with Blood debt." 100 items, Kill chains, proc chains, room clearing builds & FX to match. #ScreenshotSaturday #indiedev #gamedev

Peter Mehlmann @petermehlmann.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

Closed the playtest last week and been busy implementing changes from players. Art feedback was clear, the style is too safe for what the game and narrative. Graphical elements lack personality. Broke away from the clean lines, drop shadows and smooth look. What do you think? #gamedev #indiedev

032

Peter Mehlmann @petermehlmann.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

My UI is dogshit and my icons are pixel art placeholders. Should I release a demo knowing that they are bad/unintuative and can potentially hinder enjoyment? Difference is about a month of work to get UI into a reasonable spot. Pic is current inventory #gamedeve #indiedev

Peter Mehlmann @petermehlmann.bsky.social · 01/10/2025

I gave over 50 people keys to my game. While the game has a lot of room to improve, the last few weeks of polish paid off big time. There are people who played for over 5 hours! Wishlist & notified when the demo becomes available! store.steampowered.com/app/3379780/... #indiedev #gamedev

Peter Mehlmann @petermehlmann.bsky.social · 27/09/2025

One of my favorite debug tools: SMALL MODE! Seriously considering adding this as a fun easter egg unlock, just like Big head mode from the past. Wishlist here: store.steampowered.com/app/3379780/... #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #devtools #godot

Part of the fun* comes from weird commit messages. *not that funny when you are searching for an old version that had something working that's broken at the moment. #indiedev #gamedev Wishlist to validate me in this journey of fun. store.steampowered.com/app/3379780/...

Peter Mehlmann @petermehlmann.bsky.social · 07/09/2025

I think I went full circle. There was a time when Dash Dash Dead had production ready code in prototype stage and there are the horrors I'm committing nowadays to move at incredible speeds. Comments littered with: - will fix later - I know what I've done and I'm not proud of it #gamedev #indiedev
