Hello new friends! For anyone unfamiliar with me, my name is Bee and I'm a solo developer making a cute point and click puzzle game where you get to be nosy AF. It's called Lunchroom Lies and you can learn more about it on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/4705640/...

I'm still steadily plugging away at the demo, but I wanted to share what my layer names look like as I'm drawing. In case anyone was wondering, the functions in my code are named similarly. It all makes sense in my head, I promise. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #solodev
Krita layers named "Onepac", "Tupac", "Threepac", "Fourpac", and "Fivepac"

Are any of you fans of The Painscreek Killings? I never had the chance to finish the game, but I think my design philosophy is really similar to EQ Studios.

Happy Friday! I've been working on a different style for cut scenes in my game. I think this is the direction I'm going to take it! Maybe with some filters to make it feel a little more noir and detective-y 🤔 #gamedev #indiedev #art #handdrawn #detective store.steampowered.com/app/4705640/...

Our characters in Lunchroom Lies are well educated. Their college diplomas are parodies of real colleges. Here are a couple of the University Seals. Any guesses which Universities they are parodying? #gamedev #indiedev #handdrawn #art #puzzlegame #mystery

I was listening to Christopher Larkin's "Greenpath" song today and felt particularly inspired in my game development work. There's something about this song that just fills me with creativity and determination. What are your go-to inspiration songs when working on your projects? #gamedev #indiedev

I wanted to show the games that are the biggest inspiration for Lunchroom Lies! I obviously really like Mystery games 😅 if you're a fan of any of these games, you might like Lunchroom Lies too 👀 store.steampowered.com/app/4705640/...

EXTRA EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT! Although its still a ways out, an official Lunchroom Lies demo WILL be coming your way in the future! store.steampowered.com/app/4705640/... #indiedev #indiegame #puzzlegame #detective #handdrawn #mystery
A drawn "New Stork Times" newspaper with the following text: LUNCHROOM LIES WILL BE GETTING A DEMO AFTER ALL! Originally, there were no plans for a Lunchroom Lies demo due to the 
structure of the game. With very open gameplay and no mid-game
logic checks, it didn't seem possible to give players a proper peek into
the experience without full access.
However, Studio BrainSwarm was already cooking up some prologue
chapters to be hosted at www.studiobrainswarm.com, and has now
decided to release those as a Steam Demo in the future as well! Players
will get the chance to step into Maggie's shoes before the events of
Lunchroom Lies, and see how she's worked on previous jobs that
didn't go so well!
The demo will include Demo Exclusive characters and mysteries,
so be sure to keep your eyes out for its release in a few months!

DID YOU KNOW Lunchroom Lies takes place within an office? I honestly wish my coworkers were cute animals in suits. If you relate to Miles the Monkey, you can find the game here! store.steampowered.com/app/4705640/... #gamedev #indiegame #theoffice #handdrawn
A comic imitating The Office TV show where a monkey shown as a "boss" is looking at a wall of art including a Steam Page for Lunchroom Lies. The monkey says "How much? I don't see a price?". In the next panel, a bee logo wearing a dress standing in front of the Steam Page Display says "Ummmm... you want to buy it?". In the last panel, the monkey boss says "Well yeah. We gotta have it for the backlog!"

Lunchroom Lies takes place in an Office, so I have been carefully preparing memes based around The Office TV show for you all.

Hello to all my new BlueSky followers! Happy to have you all here! I'm Bee, and I'm the solo developer of Studio BrainSwarm. I'm currently working on a small hand-drawn game, and I'm going to be dropping some more concrete details about the project soon!

Hilarious typo aside, I thought this was a good opportunity to share these photos as an example.

Do NOT touch things that are not yours, and use office supplies for work purposes ONLY."A photo of a hand holding a small keychain in the same pose as the other drawn image.

An update on my slow but steady progress with my test game! I apologize for never posting; classes are crazy! I'm doing well in school though. Anyway, have some before and after shots of me adding shading to the environments!

Want a sneak peak of my test game? Please excuse the shitty linework on this WIP, I swear I'm making this to test a mechanic, NOT my mediocre art skills 😅 #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #gameart

There are sticky notes all over the monitor, loose headphones on the desk, and two coffee posters hung up. One coffee poster says "Don't talk to me before I've had my COFFEE" and the other coffee poster is of an unamused cat next to a cup of steaming hot coffee.

I'm pivoting away from my main project for a bit to make a mini test game for a gameplay mechanic I want to implement. It will be entirely unrelated to my main project. Wish me luck!

I originally had the idea for the game I'm currently working on 8 years ago, but at the time was convinced someone would make it soon. No one ever did, so here I am. And I SWEAR TO GOD if someone does it now that I'm finally doing it myself I'm gonna flip a table lol

I'm digitally hand-drawing every scene of my game. Here's a sneak peak of one of them 👀 #indiedev #hobbydev #dog
A drawing of two parody movie posters. The first poster is a parody of JAWS. It has a picture of an orange cat with its mouth wide open and says "PAWS". The second poster is a parody of Citizen Kane. It has a picture of 3 Great Danes, titled "Citizen Dane", says "It's Terrific!" In the top left corner, shows DOG as the main actor, and for the rest of the credits says "bark" and "woof"
