We return with big news! After a GMTK induced burnout related extended leave from social media (and most things gaming tbh), we finally crossed off the final items off the to-do list for the Spectral Express driving demo! #GameDev #IndieDev #TeamSunforge #SectralExpress #IndieGame #GameMaker

#PitchYaGame #SpectralExpress is a train driving resource management game with ghosts! Inspired by the gameplay of Zelda Spirit Tracks, pick and choose which ghost you admit onto your train to advance their individual storylines! #GameDev #IndieGame #TeamSunforge #IndieGame #GameMaker

Everything I wanted to get done for the #SpectralExpress alpha playtest demo is done! ...And then I realized I didn't put in buttons with links to all our socials. This is gonna take one more day to put in 🤦 #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGame #GameMaker #TeamSunforge

Just wanted to show off the dialogue system and some tutorial stuff in full action! Oh and of course, introducing the Engineer, who'll handle all the tutorializing. He's a fun guy! #TeamSunforge #SpectralExpress #IndieGame #IndieDev #GameDev #GameMaker

So if you enjoy trains and want to drive around in a juiced up Zelda Spirit Tracks style, keep an eye out for the release announcement!

I just want to go back to how happy I am with my mountain generation in Spectral Express. For procedurally generated peaks and ranges, I think these look really good! #GameDev #IndieDev #GameMaker #TeamSunForge #SpectralExpress

We just finished our day 1 #GameDev livestream for #gm48, a #Gamemaker #Gamejam that lasts 48 hours! We'll be back at it tomorrow on www.twitch.tv/team_sunforge :) Here's some footage!

We've achieved liftoff! It'll all look a bit more put together once I have the proper assets in 😂 but until then, only one particle task left: a predictive path! #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #Indie #IndieGaming #GameMaker #TeamSunforge #SpectralExpress

After about a month and a half of regular posting here, we broke the 100 follower barrier! Thank you all for supporting our dinky little train game with ghosts <3 #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #Indie #IndieGaming #GameMaker #TeamSunforge #SpectralExpress

I went through, uh... a COUPLE iterations before I tuned it to what I needed 🤣

Added a conical option to the variable dispersion with a variable opening arc (all totally legit math and programming terms, trust me) - And also they have gravity now! #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #iIndie #IndieGaming #GameMaker #TeamSunforge #SpectralExpress

We're working on #SpectralExpress, a resource management train driving game with ghosts! No associated steam page yet, just here to spread awareness for now :)

Particles are happening, part 2! It took me several days to get them to: A - play nice with the outline shader and B - transparency to (mostly) work correctly. Good progress! #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #iIndie #IndieGaming #GameMaker #TeamSunforge #SpectralExpress

If you see this post a goth girl (ghosts are goth, right? I also didn't ask them if they were a girl, felt rude)

Team SunForge @teamsunforge.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

Getting more assets for out menus, and they are looking NICE! Someday the menu art will be animated as well, but we are not shooting for that with the alpha. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indie #indiegaming #gamemaker #teamsunforge #spectralExpress

Slight improvements - all that gold trim was a little busy and distracting, So I decided to cut down on it a bit

Getting to flex my meager modelling skills today by updating the locomotive model, haha. Textures are placeholders of course. I am quite happy with how it's turning out! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indie #indiegaming #gamemaker #teamsunforge #spectralExpress

Finally beat OBS into recording this in the correct format for me lmao. But here we have the finished menu interactions! I am happy with my results. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indie #indiegaming #gamemaker #teamsunforge #spectralExpress

Team SunForge @teamsunforge.bsky.social · 06/02/2026

With the debug option now in (toggleable on/off from the brand new in-game menu), a live peek behind the curtain is possible! Hopefully this will help me track down some of the more elusive bugs #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indie #indiegaming #gamemaker #teamsunforge #spectralExpress

I just wanted to share my absolutely garish start menu mock-up before my lovely and talented wife gets around to giving me the proper assets 🤣 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indie #indiegaming #gamemaker #teamsunforge #spectralExpress

Now that the keyboard and controller support is in, I've moved on to sound. Thing is: neither of the people on the team are sound people. So we're doing our best with the audio balancing haha #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indie #indiegaming #gamemaker #teamsunforge #spectralExpress

Team SunForge @teamsunforge.bsky.social · 24/01/2026

Today I started adding keyboard and controller support to Spectral Express. It's going well! While you can play the game with only a mouse interacting with the driver's cabin, it's good to have options! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indie #indiegaming #teamsunforge #spectralExpress

Don't really have anything new to show visually today, so here's another side by side comparison: this time, between the original 3-day jam version of Spectral Express and our current version! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indie #indiegaming #teamsunforge #spectralExpress

Team SunForge @teamsunforge.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

Blast from the past First screenshot is from just under two years ago. Second one is the current version. We've come a long way, including switching from 2D to 3D! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indie #indiegaming #teamsunforge #spectralExpress

Working on some forest tiles today. Texture's a placeholder, but I already like where we're heading! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indie #indiegaming #teamsunforge

Did I ever post this very silly video of our latest jam game, Space Forg? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indie #indiegame #sunforge

Team SunForge @teamsunforge.bsky.social · 31/01/2025

Don't mind me, just trying to figure out how to record our projects in a phone-friendly orientation... Sides cropped off heavily, but at least for a first person game like this it still kind of works? I'm not sold, gotta experiment more. Featuring our latest game jam entry, Art Tour (Le Morte d')!
