A real ugly BUT functioning prototype of one of the "activities" players can find in my game! I want to keep the pallette pretty limited but I'm curios about what people will draw Also reminder that Emily_ is 75% off on Steam! #indiegame #indiedev #devlog #gamedev #steam

A lot of game devs nowadays be like "oh yea, this AI art is only a placeholder graphic" My arse. If it was a placeholder graphic, you'd have drawn it up in MS-fucking-paint and made it look as shitty as possible so you KNOW to replace it in the final game.

Playing it is still testing! I find sometimes the best way to find flaws is to stop looking for them and experience the game normally, and if you find nothing that's still a great result and not wasted time

Working on a drawing system for custom graffitis and a way to save them and show them in the world, not very flexible and still buggy BUT it sorta works (?) not using any plug-ins so worst case it was a fun coding challenge best case someone will draw a penis #indiedev #gamedev #devlog

Tetrabyte ♦️Emily_ OUT NOW♦️ @tetrabyte.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Finally started working on a Pause button and a Title screen, still very ugly but it sorta works Aside from that: new meshes, started looking into some complicated mechanics and worked on the Steam page Gatekeeping the name as long as it has so many placeholders #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

not quite sure if it fits the style I have in mind, but still I prefer it over a basic fade

Tetrabyte ♦️Emily_ OUT NOW♦️ @tetrabyte.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Started working on some screen transitions as well as other "rooms", not sure of I like this One Aside from this I changed some layouts a bit and made a couple other meshes Can't wait to open up the Steam page #indiedev #gamedev #devlog

Hi! just wanted to say that Emily_ is FREE on itch there are a few reasons, the main one is that this version is less updated if you want to support us we still need steam reviews and sales, but if you wish to just try the game you can download it here tetrabyte.itch.io/emily #indiegame #gamedev

tetrabyte.itch.io/hyperslash I made this a while ago for a jam and while I think it isn't great I think the hit effects are good Freezer gametime, small flashes, screen shake, crunchy SFX and maybe damping for a second the Soundtrack for extra oomph (thanks Expedition33 for the idea)

One small project at a time and it quickly becomes almost muscle memory If you treat every block as like a puzzle in a Zelda game the solutions quickly become like the items you aquire and keep throughout Problem solving is as much part of the creative process as anything else

Tetrabyte ♦️Emily_ OUT NOW♦️ @tetrabyte.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Those little rewards go a long way From time to time I lime to ready the Steam reviews of my game to remind myself that someone enjoyed something I made

Tetrabyte ♦️Emily_ OUT NOW♦️ @tetrabyte.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Vefore opening the steam Page I want to have at least one "room" complete and a couple activities, Just to have some real screenshots

Tetrabyte ♦️Emily_ OUT NOW♦️ @tetrabyte.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Huge enviroment updates since the last post! The game is coming along slowly, I haven't only worked on meshes but I was getting tired of the gray boxes I want to open the steam page as soon as possible to start gathering wishlists, so keep an eye out! #indiedev #gamedev #devlog #indiegame

Tetrabyte ♦️Emily_ OUT NOW♦️ @tetrabyte.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Just wanted to say that Emily_ is currently 50% off on Steam, if you have a couple bucks and some free time I'd be forever grateful for an honest review, even a negative one #indiegame #gamedev #steam #sale

Tetrabyte ♦️Emily_ OUT NOW♦️ @tetrabyte.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

A slight reality check After 1 year and a half Emily_ has managed to make a really small profit, but games in development are still grabbing money, even at a almost 0 bugdet What we're struggling the most with is visibility and we have no immediate fix That's the life I guess #indiegame #gamedev

Tetrabyte ♦️Emily_ OUT NOW♦️ @tetrabyte.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

back with new progress! I want to add a small panoramic section with a drone, the stock photo here will be replaced with a low poly model of the city It'll be really simple so as to not overcomplicate this small project ugly placeholders are the best #indiedev #gamedev #devlog #steam #indiegame

I feel like Nintendo has it's fair share of faults, besides we should separate what studios are doing (fromsoft for example) from what companies are doing. Nintendo has been doing predatory practices for years, both legal and economic and has shown a really low quality control in hardware and games

That rush is when you learn the most, either you hit a brick Wall or you learn something great

Tetrabyte ♦️Emily_ OUT NOW♦️ @tetrabyte.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

That's always the most fun and scariest part imo Remember to keep the scopecreep in check! (the hardest part)

As much as I love some good world Building I also feel like soul and lore are two very different things, and I think a game can be great based on gameplay alone but there's a clear distinction between a game made with love and a souless game (it's easy to spot the souless cashgrab trend copycats)

Tetrabyte ♦️Emily_ OUT NOW♦️ @tetrabyte.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

youtu.be/6wfN2j7468Q?... Our game isn't the most visually catching but going back maybe we still could have done better with out trailer (although I don't think it's terribile)

I don't know many people on Bsky so I want to make a small post as a sort of space for creators to introduce themself 🎤 Whats your name? What do you make? Anything cool to share? Let me know! Also I've taken the month off, I'll go back to giving update a soon #indiedev #streamer #artist #indie

Tetrabyte ♦️Emily_ OUT NOW♦️ @tetrabyte.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

I want to give the game a subtle cyberpunk post-post-apocalyptic look An apocalypse has happened, one brought by greedy man, but that's not the focus All of this to say that I've added robot dogs as decorations that are absolutely a reference to nothing #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #devlog

Tetrabyte ♦️Emily_ OUT NOW♦️ @tetrabyte.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Nothing too grand to show but I upgraded the train tracks mesh and made a simple low poly plant, but I think things are starting to look nice One step at the time, the most important lesson for each GameDev Got any indie game raccomendations? #indiedev #gamedev #devlog #indiegame #unity

Tetrabyte ♦️Emily_ OUT NOW♦️ @tetrabyte.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

it's still really early to say, I guess we'll see the effects this project has on me during the development of the next one

000

Tetrabyte ♦️Emily_ OUT NOW♦️ @tetrabyte.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Our team has a great composer so I'm not sure, but I like to dabble a bit in everything, also to better understand the struggles and limitations of each part and to better direct the rest of the team

100

Tetrabyte ♦️Emily_ OUT NOW♦️ @tetrabyte.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

This is more of a test project and while I still Plan to polish It as much as I can I think it'll stay lime this

100

Tetrabyte ♦️Emily_ OUT NOW♦️ @tetrabyte.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

I think It creates a nice effect and for this project I'll stick to it but it 's not food enough to have it over a nice OST piece

Something in between, I made a previous post explaining that I created a script to randomly play notes every now and then over some ambience sounds

3D art 100% I do good with sfx but I have zero to none actual music skills

Tetrabyte ♦️Emily_ OUT NOW♦️ @tetrabyte.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

So far so good but in any case the challenge is the fun part and the best chance to learn

Tetrabyte ♦️Emily_ OUT NOW♦️ @tetrabyte.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Currently using Blender's tools, I'm using this small project to see how much I can male without the usual team, so no composer and no 3d artist

Tetrabyte ♦️Emily_ OUT NOW♦️ @tetrabyte.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Give me a good Job system in rpgs and the capacity to mix different abilities and I'll spend 400 hours just making stupid builds

Tetrabyte ♦️Emily_ OUT NOW♦️ @tetrabyte.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Sometimes a small week-long break can help. If I haven't worked on something for a while I start getting ideas in the most random of situations and as those pile up I get a new wave of excitement and passion

Tetrabyte ♦️Emily_ OUT NOW♦️ @tetrabyte.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Over time I've realized that (at least for me) Bluesky feels like a sort of low-stake social I know I won't get much reach from posting here and I guess that's sort of comforting, it makes me stress less about the numbers I'd like to hear you thoughts on this platform #indiegame #gamedev #indie

Tetrabyte ♦️Emily_ OUT NOW♦️ @tetrabyte.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

Slowly updating the visuals, audio and scripts! Trying to hit a sweet spot between malinconic and cozy, still just a lot of grayboxing, I've also added some invisible walls Hopefully I'll be able to share more in the coming days #indiedev #gamedev #devlog #unity #indiegame
