Looking back at my videos for #thelongdark, there is one that stands out as my favorite of them all. While not canon, the Darkwalker is a topic in the game that leaves you wanting more. This one is perfect for the Halloween season too. #smallcontentcreator #smallyoutuber youtu.be/VEYLoj8IG1g?...

While working on Vessels, I had to learn a lot of new things. Setting up lighting, fog, and other effects wasn't easy, but this particular view from the main menu gives me chills. It is still a bit rough, but reflects only a small work into the visuals of the game. #indiegamedev #gamedev

Of course Bluesky makes the uploaded image look so much worse. I'll find a way to share the full quality images.

As I inch closer to getting it in a place where I think it is worth sharing, these are the first pre-demo screenshots of my game Vessels. I have been working on it by myself for almost 2 years. More information soon about the demo release date and the game itself. #indiegamedev #UE5 #unrealengine

@raphlife.bsky.social I'm playing Ep. 3 again and need an answer. What happened with Father Thomas and the crash survivors? We didn't get an answer at the end of Ep. 5 whether they went along with the others or if they got left behind.

In about 1 hour, I'm releasing part 1 for a project that I have spent the summer working on. Using the foundation of the lore of #thelongdark, I have created my own story inspired by the game's past. This is Notes Left Behind. #smallyoutuber #smallcontentcreator youtu.be/NIGKBtTvWkQ?...

Maybe we could turn this into a contest with the community. We could use in game screenshots and photoshop to roughly design the look of the poster and the winner gets their poster made by a Hinterland artist and put in the game.

Jorge Vazquez (ToastyBits) @toastybits.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

I think it's better to share things when there is something concrete to share. Video games are like a work of art and take time to make. There are so many different types of roles doing different jobs to make the game show ready. We are 4 months away from actual gameplay. That is worth waiting.

I decided to make a second teaser for my #thelongdark fan lore series, Notes Left Behind. This one shows how the series will look and I would love any feedback. #smallyoutuber #smallcontentcreator youtu.be/gOK_fe_tQRk

This month has been difficult, but the work that I have been able to do has gone towards finalizing one of a few big projects around #thelongdark. This is a teaser for ep. 1 act 1 of Notes Left Behind, a fan lore series. #smallcontentcreator #smallyoutuber youtu.be/s1QgO6QYjU4?...

I know the game is facing a lot of controversy right now, but #frozenship was interesting enough to get me to finish the demo. We will see if anything changes with the full release tomorrow. #smallcontentcreator #smallyoutuber www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0VD...

Jorge Vazquez (ToastyBits) @toastybits.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

I played the demo and the only similarities are the art style. The assets look nothing like the ones in TLD. I had a lot of fun with it.

After a much needed break, I'm back with lore videos for #thelongdark. This one is all about the auroras and the mysterious illness that they are somehow connected to. #smallyoutuber #smallcontentcreator youtu.be/LVfPnsvvRM8?...

Fellow indie game devs, where the hell are you all getting your sound effects? Searching for item pick up sounds, UI/button sounds, and puzzle complete/reset sounds is a pain in the behind. Maybe I'm being too specific with some of these, but some general sounds could help. #indiedev #gamedev

I just finished Wintermute Ep. 5 for #thelongdark. I'm still reeling from the incredible story telling and emotional rollercoaster it put me on. I have only ever cried for one other game, which was TLoS Part 2. I can't wait to see what comes next. @hinterland.bsky.social @raphlife.bsky.social

Sad day for me. My role at DICE as Studio Art Director has been eliminated and I’ve been impacted by the layoffs on Battlefield. I’m very proud of our work on BF6, my team at DICE, and my own impact since joining 3 years ago. I learned a ton, and got to work with amazingly talented people 🙏

Is it coming out the same day as Ep. 5? Also, does it contain music for Ep. 4 and the expansion?
