Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 4hIt’s so great when you can quickly get a dynamic, visual result. So far, this is the best prototype I’ve made in years. #Gamedev #Prototype #WastelandCourier #PostApocalypse #Freelancer 073
Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 6hAnd still, I can’t manage to post daily updates yet. I don’t understand why. I finally have content, and a full-fledged system for working with it efficiently. #Gamedev #Prototype #WastelandCourier #PostApocalypse #Freelancer 162

Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 30/09/2026What a time to be alive. You can take old concept docs and prototype them in no time. I worked on this concept over five years ago, and in a week I managed to put together a hovercar with cubes and basic trading. #Gamedev #Prototype #WastelandCourier #PostApocalypse #Freelancer 194

Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 29/09/2026We’re iterating on readability, information display, and little gameplay improvements here and there. The process never ends — and it’s a lot of fun. #Gamedev #Indie #WastelandSurvival #LifeSimulator #Postapocalypse 094
Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 27/09/2026A great plan: iterate on every project a little at a time so you never actually release anything! ;-) I’ve cleaned up the last issues and bugs in Wasteland Life, an experimental text-based post-apocalyptic survival sim. #Gamedev #Indie #WastelandSurvivalSimulator #LifeSimulator #Postapocalypse 273
Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Long time no see! :D Most of my free time is still taken up with relocation logistics and getting the move organized. But for the past couple of days, I’ve been slowly finding some time for indie dev again. #Gamedev #UnrealEngine #Idle #ProjectApocalypse #Strategy #Indie 1113
Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 23/07/2026The most unexpected task I could come up with in indie game development is rebuilding the AI for the survivors in Project Apocalypse. #Gamedev #UnrealEngine #Idle #ProjectApocalypse #Strategy #Indie 2101
Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 11/07/2026youtube.com/watch?v=k0XmSscc0OU&feature=youtu.be - a short timelapse of the bar area update. #Gamedev #UnrealEngine #Indie #Tycoon #Synthetica #ScreenshotSaturday #screenshotsaturday 063
Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 11/07/2026After last weekend, I'm trying to take a breather and reduce the workload this week. I've slightly rearranged the bar area, and that's enough for now. #Gamedev #UnrealEngine #Indie #Tycoon #Synthetica #screenshotsaturday 0133
Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 07/07/2026And now with level instances and a fresh concept, you can create very neat modular zones, wonderful. #Gamedev #UnrealEngine #Indie #Tycoon #Synthetica 0113
Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 06/07/2026The wall dismantling is complete. Now the club is one large tidy space (but some areas will be locked). #Gamedev #UnrealEngine #Indie #Tycoon #Synthetica 092
Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 05/07/2026All gameplay areas have been converted to Level Instance, making them easy to edit and configure. #Gamedev #UnrealEngine #Indie #Tycoon #Synthetica 0100
Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 05/07/2026We are removing all the furniture from the club and starting the dismantling of the walls. #Gamedev #UnrealEngine #Indie #Tycoon #Synthetica 0121
Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 05/07/2026It got a little better. #Gamedev #UnrealEngine #Indie #Tycoon #Synthetica #ScreenshotSaturday 0204
Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 05/07/2026I'm approaching it from two angles - simplifying the gameplay + improving the visuals. Now that we've switched to Unreal 5. #Gamedev #UnrealEngine #Indie #Tycoon #Synthetica #ScreenshotSaturday 1154
Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 04/07/2026We also say goodbye to the area for crafting androids and charging them. Now, the club only has areas where clients can bring in money. #Gamedev #UnrealEngine #Indie #Tycoon #Synthetica #ScreenshotSaturday #screenshotsaturday 1103
Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Today, the club is undergoing renovation; we are saying goodbye to the conversation sofa and, in general, to the system of conversations between clients and androids. #Gamedev #UnrealEngine #Indie #Tycoon #Synthetica #ScreenshotSaturday 1123
Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 01/07/2026I was actually startled by the sudden Discord notification about a new commit in Synthetica :D I'll try a mini-experiment - come in with a sledgehammer, take down the non-working mechanics and those that are inconvenient to scale with my resources. #Gamedev #UnrealEngine #Indie #Tycoon #Synthetica 063
Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Hmm. And with the thought that some parts of Project Apocalypse could be "reassembled," a Pandora's box has opened. #Gamedev #UnrealEngine #Indie #Tycoon #Synthetica 192
Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Thank you for the feedback on Project Apocalypse, we're back to Mostly Positive, until the next dissatisfied player :D We also received some great feedback, although it’s a bit sad – it seems like there’s a lot that can be fixed and #Gamedev #UnrealEngine #Indie #Survival #ProjectApocalypse 171
Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 27/06/2026No-screenshot Saturday, yay! I'm training my calmness and learning not to overwork as much as possible, yeah. Although the plan for the weekend is to finish the localization pass for Wasteland Survivor. #Gamedev #Indie #WastelandSurvival #LifeSimulator #Postapocalypse 282
Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 26/06/2026[2 / 2] Wasteland Survivor has had no progress this week - everything is ready, just need to thoughtfully go through the localization and somehow release a playable version, just for fun and to feel a sense of progress, without any attempts at #Gamdev #UnrealEngine #Japanese #Kanji #KanjiLearner 120
Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 26/06/2026[1 / 2] So, how's the indie progress for the week? I checked out Project Apocalypse, yes. The AI for the characters needs massive adjustments; we need to sit down and debug it thoroughly to make it better and more predictable. #Gamedev #UnrealEngine #Indie #Tycoon #Synthetica 273
Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Project Apocalypse is on summer sale with a 50% discount! ;-) store. steampowered. #ProjectApocalypse #UnrealEngine #Strategy #Gamedev #Indie #Sale #Majesty 282
Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 20/06/2026I can't help but be amazed at how, with de facto 4. 5 indie projects and a well-tuned automation for social media posts, I still can't establish a routine of "writing something about development every day. #Gamedev #UnrealEngine #Indie #Tycoon #Synthetica #ScreenshotSaturday 7124
Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 15/06/2026I want to write about how much I've accomplished and progressed today, but no, I'm diligently learning not to overwork and to maintain some minimal work-work balance. #Gamedev #Indie #WastelandSurvival #LifeSimulator #Postapocalypse 120
Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Working on a simplified tutorial. #Gamedev #Indie #WastelandSurvival #LifeSimulator #Postapocalypse 030
Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 14/06/2026I was sitting and thinking about which screenshot to show, and I accidentally messed up my main playthrough. It's a bit disappointing, but at least I got to see the Game Over screen :D #Gamedev #Indie #WastelandSurvival #LifeSimulator #Postapocalypse 040
Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 13/06/2026There are also many new small pop-ups with choices for certain activities (cooking, stealing). #Gamedev #Indie #WastelandSurvival #LifeSimulator #Postapocalypse #ScreenshotSaturday #screenshotsaturday 061
Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 13/06/2026The inventory has been redesigned with clear slots + it has been combined with the crafting screen, and the crafting itself has also become more appealing and understandable. #Gamedev #Indie #WastelandSurvival #LifeSimulator #Postapocalypse #ScreenshotSaturday #screenshotsaturday 081
Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 13/06/2026Good progress over the week - content, bug fixes, reputation, revamped inventory and crafting, endgame, and a million other tweaks and improvements. #Gamedev #Indie #WastelandSurvival #LifeSimulator #Postapocalypse #ScreenshotSaturday 181
Sargonius Games @sargonius.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Here is a Wasteland Survival Simulation game I'm currently working on. And hello everyone, my first post here, yay! 030
