Howdy folks! Happy #ScreenshotSaturday! :D Today I got a fix in for ice tiles in #DragonDrop so they look and render a lot nicer! You can see the little marks underneath them and they appropriately pick up your dragon fire color :3 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #unity

Had an awesome time watching a friend of ours who we commissioned for some menu art in-game play through #Abyssal! It's so much fun watching folks play your work and I'm just really happy to show them their work in-game!!! :D #gamedev #indiedev #roblox #indiegame

Howdy folks! Doing a bit of research on a fun feature I can use in a couple of games on #Roblox. I got inspired by Super Mario Bros 3's Tanuki suit turning into a stone statue, and I wanted to give a shot and making something similar but humorous. We'll see how it goes! :D #gamedev #indiedev #ゲーム開発

Howdy folks! A little late for a #ScreenshotSaturday update but I had a busy weekend and wasn't able to post. Check out some slippery new ice tiles in #DragonDrop! I'm hoping to get these out in the next bug fixing release! :D What do y'all think? #gamedev #indiedev #ゲーム開発 #indiegame #madeinunity

Working on a future update for #Abyssal, where we're developing RuneScape-style skills! This one is centered around picking up the daily orbs and harvesting energy. So far so good, a lot of the UI work is mostly done, lots of progress! :D #gamedev #indiedev #AbyssalRoblox #Roblox

Sunken City @sunkencity.itch.io · 12/07/2025

Howdy folks! Back at you with another #DragonDrop update, thanks to @arcanumghost.bsky.social for requesting another really cool hat! We're slowly but surely working on an update amidst everything, we're not dead! Huge thanks to @bahamutgreen.bsky.social for hopping on this! #screenshotsaturday

Howdy y'all! Check out this new feature for #Abyssal 's monthly update, we finally have saveable outfit slots! You can take your favorite fits and swap them out on the fly! <3 This was a widely requested feature so we're happy to finally add it! #gamedev #indiedev #roblox #robloxdev #RobloxAbyssal

Also should we keep this flavor text? I think it really describes them.

Having a fan favorite for your #GameDesignDocument means that you get to consistently write shitpost diagrams when describing gameplay mechanics. And no, despite your pleas, we will not and do not call this process "Nurtosis". #gamedesign #GDD #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

a black hole witch consumes a nurtle, which kills it

A nurtle is munching on 10 different nurtles, a little dweeb of a turtle. This kills the nurtle 10 times, and we do not call this process nurtosis.

More Nurtle for the Nurtle Fans

Sunken City @sunkencity.itch.io · 28/05/2025

Going to be doing a Game Jam with the #DragonDrop team to help everyone learn #Unity and do something fun and teambuilding. Please meet Nurtle, designed by the wonderful @bahamutgreen.bsky.social. You will be seeing a lot more of them because they're a fan favorite?? #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Howdy! Anyone who went to #FWA know who this lovely friend was? I just wanted to thank them for making my first con a great experience, they gave a really great hug and I wanted to make sure to follow them/connect if possible! :D

Sunken City @sunkencity.itch.io · 16/05/2025

Howdy folks! Just slowly getting back into the swing of things because of how behind I am after #FWA, but here's a little piece of #CutContent from #WhaleSurvival on #Roblox. I wanted to get these little orbiting cosmetics working, but I couldn't get them to be performant, physics reasons #indiegame

Sunken City @sunkencity.itch.io · 05/05/2025

Howdy Folks! A new #Abyssal and #DragonDrop crossover item is coming! I fixed up the color to be more accurate on the original block and I'm adding the alternate checkerboard pattern as a new collection reward coming soon in #AbyssalRoblox, stay tuned! #gamedev #indiegame #roblox #robloxdev #ゲーム開発

Sunken City @sunkencity.itch.io · 04/05/2025

Howdy folks, happy #ScreenshotSaturday! It might not look like much, but we've got the #DragonDrop stage hazards rendering on screen in their own picker! Lots of work left to do to get them functioning, but it took a lot of under-the-hood refactors to get here. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #ゲーム開発

Sunken City @sunkencity.itch.io · 03/05/2025

Happy #ScreenshotSaturday folks, greetings from Japan! Here's an update on #AllStar where we've gotten split screen working, and you can aim and fire projectiles! Since it's all done in a #CustomEngine built from the ground up in C++, the progress is satisfying! #indiegame #gamedev #indiegames

2156

Sunken City @sunkencity.itch.io · 02/05/2025

Here's a fun #SplitScreenMultiplayer #Bug for #AllStar. Custom engines lead to custom problems, so please enjoy this one in all its glory <3 #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #customengine #ゲーム開発

Sunken City @sunkencity.itch.io · 30/04/2025

Howdy Folks! Behind on some of the #AllStar updates, our lead programmer got 2 players up and running, and has been working on getting the rendering work done for #SplitScreen play! We've got a bunch of fun bugs to share too, so I hope y'all are ready! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #ゲーム開発

Sunken City @sunkencity.itch.io · 30/04/2025

Take a look at this WIP from @wildrumpus.bsky.social working on blocking out my little fella!!!! I can't wait to see the finished product ;w; <33333 (He's got some commission slots open if you're looking to get some quality 3D work done, go take a peek! <3)

Sunken City @sunkencity.itch.io · 26/04/2025

Howdy y'all, happy #ScreenshotSaturday from Japan! What did I tell y'all? THE PROPHECY HAS BEEN FULFILLED! The stage builder is slowly but surely coming along, and we're making good progress. Lots of UX work remains after the features, but we'll make it! <3 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #ゲーム開発

Sunken City @sunkencity.itch.io · 22/04/2025

Howdy folks, a bit of an unusual #DragonDrop update, but more on the #GameProduction and #GameDesign side of things. Whenever you're trying to convey a creative vision, don't be afraid to utilize whatever tools you have necessary to make something more understandable for your #indiegame team!

Sunken City @sunkencity.itch.io · 20/04/2025

@waiyakemono.bsky.social man you didn't tell me the installer for Nobara came with a cute little match game, this is so lovely!! Just got a new laptop so I'm opting for a dual boot, it's been a while since I've ran Linux but definitely just sick of Windows shenanigans. Thanks for the advice!

Sunken City @sunkencity.itch.io · 19/04/2025

Howdy folks, happy #ScreenshotSaturday! Continuing from our last post, the custom stages can now load and be played in #DragonDrop! I warned you all that UwU stage was one of the worst maps possible to play on, not kidding!! @eyeseedee.bsky.social load screen! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #ゲーム開発

Sunken City @sunkencity.itch.io · 17/04/2025

Howdy folks! It is still INCREDIBLY barebones, but the first workable version of the stage editor is up and running for #DragonDrop. Obviously there is a LOT more that needs to be done, so this is maybe only 25% of the way there, but progress! #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #ゲーム開発 #indiegames

Sunken City @sunkencity.itch.io · 15/04/2025

Howdy folks! More work on the stage editor for #DragonDrop, we've now got the block color menu able to slide in and out! The stage editor has a long way to go still but some of the fundamentals are finally here! Slowly but surely, we're getting there! :D #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #ゲーム開発

I once wrote in to @piratesoftware.live. And I think you'll see a familiar message that matches this thread as a whole.

So today has been my birthday (April 13th) and I received the most precious gift I've ever had in my life. My community has not only made a discord server for me that collected all of the fanart made for our games over the past few years, one of them even went and made this whole animation for me!

Sunken City @sunkencity.itch.io · 12/04/2025

Howdy folks! Some #DragonDrop work for #ScreenshotSaturday (it comes early in Japan!) @davathan.bsky.social and I got the block color picker working to a good stopping point, check this out! Making some great progress <3 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #ゲーム開発

14213

Sunken City @sunkencity.itch.io · 10/04/2025

Howdy Gamers! A little more #DragonDrop work; since part of the UI is in 3D I'm working on getting a render target to handle the block picker. This one is a little too fast but we're making slow and steady progress! #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #ゲーム開発 Btw, I hope y'all are having a lovely day! :D

0185

Sunken City @sunkencity.itch.io · 08/04/2025

Howdy y'all, a little belated for #ScreenshotSaturday but I wanted to share some #DragonDrop progress that went on this weekend. @davathan.bsky.social and I got the blocks all wiggling neatly, so we're making serious progress on the stage builder menu! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #ゲーム開発

Sunken City @sunkencity.itch.io · 02/04/2025

I think I lost all my playtest footage but I've still got #DragonDrop gifs like this from dev, so I can share those at least!! >.< #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #ゲーム開発

Sunken City @sunkencity.itch.io · 28/03/2025

Howdy folks! The music player looks like it's going to be good to ship in #Abyssal, check out this remix of @fotts.bsky.social 's Pipe Dream by @1stargachaclub.bsky.social! There's going to be over 30 new unlockable tracks in the update, get hyped! #AbyssalRoblox #Roblox #gamemusic #indiedev

Sunken City @sunkencity.itch.io · 27/03/2025

Yoo that's wonderful! What brought you to the area? I moved out here since I was trying my best to just go indie and wanted to start over in life a little bit. My biggest indie project is Dragon Drop <3 store.steampowered.com/app/1581500/... Been on hiatus for a hot minute but I'm back at it!

Sunken City @sunkencity.itch.io · 27/03/2025

Howdy folks! Here's an update for #DragonDrop, check out the Art Gallery, it's getting closer to functional. Here we've got it so you can check out any particular art you fancy in full-screen! @chenanigans.bsky.social did such an amazing job with this one!! <3 #gamedev #indiedev #ゲーム開発 #unity #art

Sunken City @sunkencity.itch.io · 26/03/2025

Howdy folks! With the monthly update coming out soon for #Abyssal, here's some more polish I got into the game. Your witness abilities visuals will now match the colors of your Witness, giving you some extra visual flair and customization! What do you think? #roblox #AbyssalRoblox #gamedev #indiedev

0145

Sunken City @sunkencity.itch.io · 26/03/2025

Howdy folks! Some more #GunBlade development for @geekout-studio.bsky.social ! This is the first rough prototype with only a few things in, but we are SHMOOVIN' let's GOOO hahaha #gamedev #indiedev #ゲーム開発 #roblox #gunbladeRoblox

0124

Sunken City @sunkencity.itch.io · 25/03/2025

Still a lot to debug for the #physics but things are going really well so far! #gamedev #CustomEngine #indiedev #C++

0103

Sunken City @sunkencity.itch.io · 25/03/2025

Howdy folks! More updates on #AllStar and the custom engine, the lead programmer just got some simple projectiles working! This is all built from scratch in a custom #C++ engine, so it's a huge milestone! <3 We're slow burning this project for likely the next few years :> #indiedev #gamedev #ゲーム開発

1145

Sunken City @sunkencity.itch.io · 24/03/2025

Howdy y'all! Some stuff coming to #Abyssal 's monthly update, I polished up resonance a TON. You can spend your double jump charge to jump up or forwards now, and we'll also be hiding a new Legendary witness that allows you to restore your resonance charge! #roblox #AbyssalRoblox #gamedev #indiedev

Sunken City @sunkencity.itch.io · 23/03/2025

Happy #ScreenshotSaturday folks! We're doing some more work on the stage builder for #DragonDrop. Today we got the block colors loaded in from palette files. We'll make little unlockable block colors that you can use to build your stages out with! More work to come! #indiegame #gamedev #unity #ゲーム開発

1256

Sunken City @sunkencity.itch.io · 21/03/2025

Some more work on #GunBlade for @geekout-studio.bsky.social ! Apex Legends added a really cool dash to Ash but have been nerfing it into the ground; I think it's a super neat movement ability so we're trying to put it in the game! #indiedev #roblox #gamedev #ゲーム開発
