We just passed 400 wishlists for Dead Broke! ❤️ Every day is a little step closer to making this real. We’re still very bad at social media and marketing, so thank you to everyone who’s been following along and adding it to their wishlist! #deadbroke #indiegames #gamedev

After one week of experimenting on social media, we reached 220 wishlists for Dead Broke! I don't have anything to compare it to, so I have no idea if that's good or bad for an indie game… but it's definitely huge for us! ❤️ #deadbroke #indiegames #gamedev

If like me you're stoked to play a new Crazy Taxi game in 2027 but also wish it supported local-multiplayer and looked like a Saturday morning cartoon, boy do I have the game for you! store.steampowered.com/app/2923770/...

We are trying to focus more on gamedev projects lately, alongside our XR and industrial work here in Italy. We made a short reel to showcase a few things we did: youtu.be/m8Oldd-7jHQ If you’re working on something and think there’s a fit, we’re always happy to connect :) #gamedev #indiegamedev

The breakdown for the wind system is now available on Patreon. The article is completely free to read for everyone. We also included the Unity package for Lightning supporters if anyone wants to dig into the implementation directly. Hope it’s useful 🙂 #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d

Working on a wind system for vegetation and props lately. Still exploring a few things, but it’s getting there. Might do a breakdown if anyone’s curious! #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d

Hey 👋 We built a small editor tool to speed up texture pixelization directly inside Unity. It lets you take any texture, adjust the pixel size, preview the result in real time, and export it instantly. There’s also a simple noise layer to quickly generate variations! #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d

ToughNutToCrack @tntcproject.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

Small details = big polish. Just released a simple spring-bone system for #Unity3D. Lightweight, controllable bounce for hats, capes, accessories, or any reactive detail. No full physics needed. Available on our Patreon ☕ #gamedev #indiedev

Doing some small tests with a simple spring bone setup to add a bit more life to the props.

ToughNutToCrack @tntcproject.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

We’ve released a fullscreen pixelization effect for #Unity3D. It adapts pixel size based on depth instead of applying uniform screen pixelation, allowing more consistent stylized results in 3D scenes. Find our more on our Patreon! #gamedev #indiedev

In case you missed it, we recently released a new video where we break down how the buildings in Expedition 33 were created in a procedural way. Sharing a small clip here 🙂 Let us know what you think!

ToughNutToCrack @tntcproject.bsky.social · 20/01/2026

We’ve released the #ProceduralBuilding tool from our latest YouTube project. It’s a full #Unity3D package you can study, reuse, or build on top of, whether you’re into procedural generation, editor tools, or just curious about how these systems work. Link in the first comment! #gamedev #indiedev

Still playing with the new proc-gen tool we made. Apparently I accidentally recreated a sunset scene hahaha.

ToughNutToCrack @tntcproject.bsky.social · 14/01/2026

I just published a video I’ve been really excited about! It’s all about building a procedural system in Unity, inspired by the architecture of Expedition 33. This one was a really fun challenge for me, hope you’ll check it out and let me know what you think! #procgen#gamedev #unity3d

Following a session on using Addressables to stream assets at runtime in #Valheim. Honestly, this should be standard practice not something we apply only when things go wrong. Great insights! #unity3d #unite2025 @unity.com

The stencil buffer is like magic. You can use it for portals, masks, and cool visual tricks in your games. I explain how it works in my new Split Fiction recreation video. I post it in the first comment if you’re curious :) #Unity #GameDev #Shaders #IndieDev
