That part where we slowly improve on the base character in preparation for some cinematics.... #IndieDev #GameDev #3DModel

The craziest part of being an #IndieDev is developing a Demo, Exhibit & Full version simultaneously.

I will never stop loving this system I setup, love it each time I pop it into the mission flow. #IndieDev

Managed to get quite a few sneaky playtests at #GCAP today in between talks! If you’re around this #MIGW or at #PaxAus I’m happy to share the build and hear what you think!

I find hooking up UI quite difficult, it always takes me twice as long as I'd like. BUT! When it's in it's so great!! #IndieDev #GameDev #UI #UIArt

I may see myself as a Solo Developer but at some point there’s just simply too much to do! I need some help! #IndieDev #GameDeveloper #UIArt #GameArt Also happy to take expressions of interest for the future, especially from producers, social & production support!

Should I put the first boss fight in my demo or save it for the full release!? #IndieDev #GameDev

It definitely ties off a story moment with the first district. But there’s a lot of chatter about ending on a cliffhanger with demos. Finishing the boss is not a cliffhanger…

ShawnTheMiller | PlayTiltshift.com @shawnthemiller.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Each district will end with a boss. So yeah there will be more

There’s no new mechanics with the boss but I would say it was a ‘moment’

Looks cool! I just chuck it in really rough and live with it for a month or so. Then you’ll go back and fix only the parts that really matter. Also pop up the vert count in your modelling software and set yourself a rough max. Polish pass can do a final cleanup.

ha! SO cool! Let me know what you think of it. I'll be taking some time this week to make sure it's all good with my demo build. Will send a steam key with the next round of playtesting if you like and you can have a try!

I mean if I’m making an arcade style dual stick driving and combat game I probably should test with a new controller! 🎮 (atleast that’s how I’m justifying it to myself) #IndieDev #GameDev #SteamController

It was a while back so forgive my memory, there were one or two integrations into photon. It was not enough to stop. Just enough to stop me. I’m a little more clever now so I’m somewhat sure it will be fine now. (With the odd custom action)

ShawnTheMiller | PlayTiltshift.com @shawnthemiller.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Many tests ago I started playing with Photon and Playmaker it was supported but not fully featured. I bet it’s better now. Would love to stay in touch and talk shop though if you’re thinking of going through RnD. It’s something I will be also working on in the next few years.

Early Prototyping was also about pushing the boundaries of my setup, these early tests already showed promise for the combat development! If you want to see more Tiltshift or even better, PLAY Tiltshift I'll be at #Gamescom and #GamescomDev all this week! #IndieDev #GameDev

If you are at Gamescom, find Shawn and try Tiltshift! It does indeed have great responsiveness and feel.
