Analysts said A Pocket Full of Slagford wasn't capturing the Gen Z audience, so there have been some pretty big creative changes to address the issue. #barkfart

Soon the latest issue of the newsletter will go out where I talk about the music of PFoS and how it came to be that the composers of Hunt for the Wilderpeople are blending some insane influences to create the sound of Slagford. #indiegame #gamemusic #synth

There's this accepted truth that point & click adventures are unusually popular in Germany, which tbh I thought was just a silly thing people say... but I checked my Steam analytics and guess which country is #2 wishlister lol Deutschies, I see you 🙌

Those handhelds are all before my time, but it did make me think of this - does anyone else remember those Sonic ones from happy meals? They sucked.

Various ref I dug up. Let's be honest, the handheld gaming scene was pretty grim before the gameboy.

SLUMPS // A Pocket Full of Slagford @slumps.net · 20/12/2025

Right now my dialogue boxes are a big blank canvas ready for some personality, so I put some more thought into theming HUD elements. Here are some concepts trying to go for the look of crappy old handheld games - y'know the kind with calculator graphics and yellowing plastic and peeling stickers?

SLUMPS // A Pocket Full of Slagford @slumps.net · 07/12/2025

I've been doing some concepts for future areas of the game! This is a special location I'm calling Sewer Henge, for obvious reasons. Rubber boots recommended. #gamedev #art #procreate #adventuregame

I spend a lot of time visiting the British Isles via Google street view, doing research and getting reference for the game. Sometimes I play roulette and drop somewhere completely random. You never know what you'll get.

Let me show you a very special prop from our game, and walk you through how it was made (please don't tell others my secret technique) #indiegame #gamedev #b3d #3dart #shadowwizardmoneygang

What's a point & click game without cursors for pointing and clicking? Figured these should be pre-rendered sprites to fit with the crunchy 90s aesthetic - what do you think? #indiegame #b3d #retro

Here's some concept art for some weirdos you'll meet early on in your adventure. No, they're not Simpsons, maybe I should call this style Slumpsons. #conceptart #indiegame #simpsons

Look at this glorious UI rendering that games from yesteryear (and HighFleet) sported!

SLUMPS // A Pocket Full of Slagford @slumps.net · 29/06/2025

Was doodling some ideas for game UI. I'm a fan of that retro maximalist aesthetic, but maybe it's too controversial for this day and age!

Have you played our game Quazar's Claim yet? It's a quick and frantic arcade miner - keep the drill fueled and collect those tasty gemeralds without being crushed to death. How deep can you descend? slumps.itch.io/quazars-claim #indiegame #arcade #retrogames

Last year I painted this piece of key art even though at that point the game was mostly just some ideas in a document. It's cool to get those ideas into something presentable you can show to people early. #gamedev #conceptart #adventuregames

Introducing the main character of our game! He's just a little fella who is excited to go out into the big world on his own for the first time and I'm sure nothing will go wrong and traumatise his small developing brain. #indiegame #gamedev #b3d

There's a pretty specific vision for the game and it's inspired by a bunch of different things: 90s point & clicks, British comedy, Terry Gilliam's movies, Orwell's writing, Thatcher's reign, funny regional accents, white guys doing reggae, and so on and so on.

Here's what the first area in our game looks like! Hope you liked games from the late 90s, because that's what you're getting. What do you think this game is about?🤔 #indiegames #gamedev #godot
