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"

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 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

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

A drawn image with a cat sadly watching a human hand take a toy away from under a table with the text "Use Integrity! Be respectful of both employee and company property. 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.

Hi Bluesky! I wanted to let everyone know Im alive and still VERY ACTIVELY working on the project. Here is a sneak peak of the #gamedev stuff I've been working on. If you haven't heard, Im making a small hand-drawn #puzzle game. And a little birdy told me a trailer might be dropping soonish? 👀

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

Image of a highly organized cartoon desk with a mountain landscape poster and zen garden.

Picture of a messy cartoon desk with trash all over it. 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 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"
