Hello! Do you like building stuff from plastic bricks? Well, maybe you'll also like to know that... 🧩 FOLLOW THESE STEPS demo is now available! 🧩 It's a chill, relaxing puzzle game with no stakes, just putting things together. Available on Windows, Linux, macOS. #indiegame #gamedev #puzzle

A screenshot from FOLLOW THESE STEPS, an upcoming puzzle video game by Yuri Sizov. It showcases the playable area with a bunch of objects on a dark background. On the left there foil packages with colorful pictures. In the middle there is a blue tray with buttons and a pink box in the middle, full of colorful pieces. On the right there is a teal area with various pieces stuck together, and one of the resulting stacks being grabbed by the hand-shaped cursor.

Had this one too. Good to know I need to wait for follow up :D

shidonski @shidonski.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I like it more! As a dev I like to see a lot of objects but as a player it more clear to navigate my eyes :D

Ah ok, it’s keyboard one, looked at other replies

You could also try to get vertical mice that reduce tension, unless it’s related to keyboard.

Had to turn off mine or ask people to do that when I had poor connection. It is pretty common when connection goes bad. You would think it should be automatically done by the app if connection is poor but nope.

Finally figure out how I want to notify player about double jump and dash. When you have no double jump, tail shrink and ears with dash. #oloo #indiedev #gamedev

New trailer is out! I will use this one in my pitch. Don't have high hopes, but in this state of industry and job market, doesn't hurt to try fund my game👀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3DK... #oloo #indiedev #gamedev

Thank you! I forgot to disable language select, translations are not ready yet 😅 I have friends who will help me out with a few languages including Polish. Just need to allocate some time to make it when texts are final.

Published new demo update: shidonski.itch.io/oloo/devlog/... Still not ready for the steam demo, sounds need work and localization too. But it's getting closer! #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Didn't post for a while, have a lot to do. Was adding localization support, but localization still will be a problem for the future. Updated how I work with dialogs. And working slowly on assets for the forest area. Sneak peek of transition part. #oloo #indiedev #gamedev

Decided to make a little series of videos introducing some of the "friends". Will have more later! #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Because I'm bad at marketing :D Thank you!

shidonski @shidonski.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

Adding the hub room. Characters will appear here depends on conditions to chat. And orb collector always will be here to get your collectibles and reveal some information. Will probably work on visuals a of the room a bit more later. #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

shidonski @shidonski.bsky.social · 24/01/2026

Yeah, creating new content currently to have more things to throw around during marketing. Last trailer already a bit stale.

shidonski @shidonski.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

Same here, Fable is one of my favorite series and huge part of it was art direction, everything felt like it's is a fable, sometimes grim but not trying to be serious. What I see right now worries me, but we will see.

shidonski @shidonski.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

Put some work into visuals, now environment is a bit more interesting, I hope 😅 #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

shidonski @shidonski.bsky.social · 20/01/2026

Steam recommendations. I'm cooked compare to this giants, but I will do my best! 😅 #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Have finally update how I blur background. Now my life much easier :D #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

shidonski @shidonski.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

Made another optional platformer sequence since I have this hook mechanic. Can be easily missed or ignored, but it is fun :D #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Today worked on technical debt I had for some time. Before light was just 2 sprites on the character plus radial shadow sprite it was good enough for prototyping the look. Now I can have as many lights as I want. #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

shidonski @shidonski.bsky.social · 15/01/2026

Trip is over, can go back to work. Added hiding bushes. Removed invincibility from dash because it was making everything too simple and easy to avoid most of the danger. #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

shidonski @shidonski.bsky.social · 11/01/2026

Thanks, not much of it survived to this day, but idea was good, if I had more resources I wanted it to be more visually appealing like Ori.

shidonski @shidonski.bsky.social · 11/01/2026

Some of the first concepts way before I knew what I want from this game or the scope of it. #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Away from my PC for some times, so nothing new to show. But have some footage from the grayscale past. #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Got to 300+ may be it’s a small number overall, but to me it’s still a lot. I don’t have much of an audience to market the game, so to see 300+ gamers interested in the game I don’t even know how they found out about is wild. Thanks everyone! #indiedev #oloo

shidonski @shidonski.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

Made birds head bigger so you can use it as a platform too, might rethink the design later. #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

shidonski @shidonski.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

It’s always takes me forever to figure out how to design levels. At this point I go with the same route I do during drawing, I know what I want but not how until I start sketching something and get more ideas and improvements, may be not the ideal, optimal way, but that what works for me yet.

Working on the hook mechanic for the wheel, not sure how often it will be used, but could be fun when polished. #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

shidonski @shidonski.bsky.social · 28/12/2025

Adding vines, could be a bridge, blockage or a trap in the future. Work in progress. #oloo #indiedev #gamedev

Today I've prepared capsule for the game, pretty happy with the result, now waiting for the review 🤞 #oloo #indiedev #gamedev

Waiting for the steam approval, continuing work on the next area 😤 #oloo #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

May just go with shidonski also since it’s my tag everywhere, but it’s not so easy to remember :/

shidonski @shidonski.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

Found a good name for DBA there is no dev on steam with it according to Steam DB and no entity in my state. But there is a itch profile with this name already 🥲

Working on the next area, tweaking this little guy and adjusting colors for the area palette. #oloo #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame
