More games ready to be shipped. Is it one of yours?

ANNIHILATOR Update: I guess I may do another, very quick, pre-order. But I need at least 25 people to jump into getting a physical game. I only need PCBs. The problem is - I have to increase my prices, so I need to figure that out. Also, I just submitted the game to Afterplay.io.

1. Give me a backstory to this creature. 2. How do I fix that back leg?

Still working on Moonstone in my free hours, but it's been so long since I posted something for #ScreenshotSaturday that I thought I'd at least throw out some WIP Environmental stuff I've been up to. Thinking of doing some #gamedev focused blog posts about our processes and efforts.

Latest run of ANNIHILATOR ready to be shipped to their new homes. I wish I could do this more often. Designing the boxes and manuals is a part of game dev, I enjoy the most. #gamedev #indiedev #gameboy

ANNIHILATOR UPDATE PCBs arrived and I just updated the previous PCBs. I'm going to be preparing game for shipping. I do need to send out emails to verify addresses. I'll try to do that today.

It's that time again! Well... almost the time. Our local game dev group is hosting another showcase. If you're in the RVA or NOVA area, mark your Wednesday, OCT. 28th as booked. fxbggamedev.com #gamedev #indiedev

Last night, spent an hour my graphcis, textures and redesigns. I'm getting a steady 80fps too.

I probably get most hyped with makig mock ups.

Dev recap. Funny, how the gun changed the most, even though all I did was change the POS and Angle. Gun is getting a redesign soon. #gamedev #indiedev

So I went down an optimization rabbit hole. New maze generation, arrays, ray cast shooting. It kind of became addicting, trying to get every frame. Seeing what worked and what didn't. #gamedev #indiegame #mazes

Remade the maze generation and optimized the shit out it.

I programmed these things to climb down and come at you from all directions and they also climb over low walls when chasing you. #gamedev

Salt & Pixel @saltandpixel.com · 23/08/2026

They swarm, the climb, there's lots of them.

I like Color Cycle, as an animation method. this is a bg for @molluscdeflation.itch.io - Here is the Steam page: store.steampowered.com/app/4931080/... #pixelart #gamedev

I'm excited and curious. Because the game is extremely HARD. Almost impossible for the average Joe. You have to be some kind of suck f*** to beat it.

I love how cheap DVDs are. I just picked up the LOTR Trilogy and 3 other movies for $2.

Salt & Pixel @saltandpixel.com · 19/08/2026

Lighting does a lot of heavy lifting. I think I have a decent idea for this game.

The main combat mechanic of Even Goblins Fall In Love, our indie NES JRPG, is applying doses of status effects on enemies. The final dose type, BLAST, explodes all applied doses for direct damage. #indienes #gamedev #homebrew #retrogame #nes #nesdev #indieretro

Battle in Even Goblins Fall In Love (an indie NES JRPG) with a Haniwa.
The battle screen is prompting for a dose to apply to the Trickster Knife, the player's main weapon.
The dose options are: Venom, Acid, Rust, Shock, Unluck, Clumsy, and Blast.

A screen shot from last night. I'm borrowing the code for the maze game I was working on, and using it here. I think I can create some weird sci fi shooter, with dimensional weirdness?
