Stef @stefhhh.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

RPG Weaver v0.7 is out, packed with exciting new features!

RPG Weaver v0.6 introduces Event Templates! Stop copy-pasting the same event 40 times across your dungeons. Save any event (chests, doors, shopkeepers, torches, save points) as a reusable template, then place it anywhere! 🎊 #rpgmaker #gamedev #indiedev #rpgweaver

In #rpgweaver the Show Fog command is now available, with a super cool live preview 💖 #gamedev #indiedev #rpgmaker #sideproject

Well, unlike #RPGMaker, in #RPGWeaver I’m working on a weather effect with a live preview. I think it’s essential that each of these effects (weather, screen tint, movement route, show picture) has a preview, so you can get a sense of what the effect will look like in game #GameDev #IndieDev #WebDev

Stef @stefhhh.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Hey #rpgmaker, be honest with me: how hard was it to implement a real time preview when using the “Show Picture” command? Asking for a completely innocent reason and definitely not because I’m currently trying to recreate an improved version of RPG Maker 😇 #gamedev #indiedev

Stef @stefhhh.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

How cool! RPG Weaver now supports autotiles! And for animated ones, you can even choose the animation speed! 💖 #rpgmaker #gamedev #indiedev

I simply wanted to share this experience honestly, because behind every unnoticed game, there’s usually someone who cared deeply about making it. Goodbye, Our Hero! 🙂

Stef @stefhhh.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

And just to be clear: I’m not sharing this because I want sympathy. Things like this happen all the time in indie game development. Not every project finds its audience, and not every story gets a happy ending.

Stef @stefhhh.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

sometimes your work doesn’t fail because it’s unfinished, or because you didn’t care enough. Sometimes it simply goes unnoticed. I don’t regret making it nor trying to save it. But I can no longer keep investing time, money, and hope into something that the world has already decided to move past.

Stef @stefhhh.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

the game could finally find its audience. In the two weeks since the update launched, only one person downloaded it. Seeing that number was difficult. Not because I expected thousands of players, but because it forced me to face a reality that every indie developer fears:

Stef @stefhhh.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

I improved the first game, reworked parts of it, added Steam achievements, and tried to give it the second chance I felt it deserved, even though it was free to play. Two weeks ago, I released that update. I knew success wasn’t guaranteed, but I hoped that maybe, with enough effort,

After the release of Our Hero! First last week, I’ve started working on the next chapter of Our Hero: Our Hero! Two! 🎉 Here’s the new title screen. What do you think? #indiegame #gamedev #rpgmaker #indiedev #OurHero

When I first made Our Hero!, sprites were drawn on paper and scanned into the computer. For the Definitive Edition, everything has been redrawn from scratch, digitally, at 4K. Check on the devlog every visual upgrade coming to the new version 🫶 #indiedev #gamedev #rpgmaker #pixelart

I made 3 RPG Maker VX games years ago. Black bars, low res, Windows only, no achievements. I almost gave up on them. Then I discovered mkxp-z and everything changed. 🌟 Definitive Edition incoming. #gamedev #indiegame #rpgmaker

If you're referring to the 2D top-down Godot template, I've used the great Dialogue Manager from nathanhoad, instead the Our Hero! games are made in Rpg Maker VX, so the dialogue system is the built-in of the engine + a custom script I made to handle localization and to fit the message content.

Godot 2D Top-Down Template just got updated and it's now supported on the latest version of Godot (4.6.1) 🎉 Get it on GitHub: github.com/stesproject/... #godot #2d #topdown #template #free

Stef @stefhhh.bsky.social · 18/02/2026

What issues did you encounter? I’ve just opened the project in Godot 4.6 and everything works fine. I will also update the template to the new version soon. P.S. Sorry for the delayed reply.

I finally completed my level generation system! Now I just have to create a bunch of different levels! 😅 #godot #gamedev

I'd like to ask you what technique did you used, because I don't know anything about it and it looks really interesting 😁
