Wonderful news superstars! I've sorted out my PC issues and development is back on at a steady pace. While I couldn't recover the most recent project build, I've been quickly updating a backup from last month and am almost caught up! #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart #devlog #probomtine

Sooo... development has hit a bit of a snag. PC's a bit dead I don't think this'll set me back too far. worse scenario, If I can't access any of the files on the PC then I've only lost about a month of work Just bare in mind I might not be posting much as I work on redoing all the lost stuff

Recently I've been working on adding unique sound effects for each character when they're talking during cutscenes! Here's a small showcase of a cutscene with the new audio! 🔊🔊🔊 #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart #devlog #probomtine

Sooo glad I took some time to learn the nitty gritty of state machines because it makes boss development (and a bunch of other things) way easier than before. There's still a few bugs here or there but overall phase 1 of the second boss is done. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #devlog #probomtine

My happy ass is in the rather awkward phase of boss development where you spend ages just constantly replaying an attack over and over again to gauge if it feels correct or not. Anyway, here’s another sneak peak of the Chapter 2 boss #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart #devlog #probomtine

Very small sneak peak of one of the attacks from Chapter 2's bossfight. I wonder what it could be? #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart #devlog #probomtine

Honestly I'm just happy with how the game looks without it. Though some subtle lighting in specific scenes wouldn't be too bad. I don't think proformance would take a noticable hit tbh, Foxy's stuff is optimised like crazy. Even with the FX's I'm still getting a possible fps in the thousands

Probomtine @probomtine.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

I'm using Post-Processing FX by Foxy Of Jungle. It's got a lot of utility and is quite easy to set up. I've also got a lighting engine made by the same person but I've yet to decide whether I want to use it on this project or not.

Probomtine @probomtine.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

It was kind of just me misunderstanding how to set it up properly tbh. I'm using a plugin for the bloom so I didn't really have to do all that much to get it set up from scratch and it got a pretty major update that made it more steamlined, which is part of the reason I removed the old stuff

Probomtine @probomtine.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Thank you!!! I'm glad you like it

Probomtine @probomtine.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

I figured out some major mistakes I made when setting up the bloom system I used, so I tore it all down and set it up again from scratch. It just took me a while to come back to Chapter 1's visuals since I've been so focused on Chapter 2 recently.

Probomtine @probomtine.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Re-added the slight bloom effect into the cave level. It's very subtle but I think it makes the area look nicer! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart #devlog #probomtine

Finally fixed an issue with the level bloom also effecting the dialogue boxes. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart #pixelart #devlog #probomtine

Thankful to my lazy ass for never finishing cutscenes right away because even after getting them in game I usually need to do at least 2 or 3 major revisions until I'm happy with them. #probomtine #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart

Found myself wanting to listen to my games OST while I was away for the week, so I decided to upload a track to youtube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySa6... #probomtine #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart #screenshotsaturday #music #soundtrack #ost

Might need to cut some of the weaker rooms from chapter 2 because this is starting to get a little out of hand. Luckily the numbers not going to get any higher. I'll see how I feel once I get some more playtesting done. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart #pixelart #devlog #probomtine

Took a few days from #Probomtine to rest. Think I'm ready to get back on the grind now.

The new gamedev short has done crazy numbers on YouTube but has died in the water on tiktok. Very weird. Seems like each time I post on there I get slightly less and less views

Probomtine @probomtine.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

I was quite shocked when I moved over to BlueSky because despite having literally a tenth of the followers, my engagement has overall remained the same, if not increased. Things overall seem more fruitful here despite having a fraction of the users.

Probomtine @probomtine.bsky.social · 13/02/2026

A bit unrelated but its also crazy how many Fivver artists atm are using generative AI without disclosing it to their customers. The ammount of reddit posts I've seen from people who have commissioned art for their game, only to get obvious AI in return is more than zero, which is a big problem.

Probomtine @probomtine.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

It's a lot of changing a tiny thing, replaying the cutscene, and then changing it again until it turns out how I like. It's going well but it's definitly time consuming.

000

Probomtine @probomtine.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

I always forget how intensive cutscenes are to make until I start working on one again. Especially the very dynamic ones. Definitly gonna put some work into making a proper system for it in my next game. currently working on what is possibly the biggest, most animated cutscene in the game.

It's gonna be extra weird because this level has consistently been a snag for me in the past. Even in the old version of the game, I'd always leave this part for 'later' and never get around to it. I guess later is now lol. this shits getting finished wether it likes it or not.

Probomtine @probomtine.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

I feel like chapter 2 of #Probomtine is gonna be one of the hardest ones to develop for. There's so many fine details and story points that need to be set up well. I think it is going well, but it's definitly slow going. It's gonna be weird when I can finally move onto chapter 3. #gamedev #indiedev
