In the new game in dev, there'll be a museum inspired by Gabriel Knight 2 & 3, more focused on the background of your investigation. Visit museums! It's enriching, broadens your horizons, and if you're a dev, can spark great ideas!

That's nice to hear: Even my really weak work PC handled the title incredibly well. A constant, locked 60 frames. No slowdowns—it runs perfectly. Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700T CPU @ 2.80GHz - RAM: 16 GB Intel(R) HD Graphics 530 - VRAM: 128 MB Optimization pays off. 😄 #indiedev #gamedev

Someone needs to take the premise from the movie "Phase IV" and make it into a point&click adventure! The movie is so unique, I think it would be a very fresh idea for an atmospheric slow burn horror point&click adventure. The setting in the lab also lends itself perfectly for puzzle design.

Wow, that's unexpected. I loved the game, but it's not a big IP or anything. Guess they really liked the story... which I can very well see adapted into a movie. deadline.com/2026/09/sony... #adventuregames #pointandclick

I translated "Backstage" (1993) presented by "LIVECLUB", a mail-order subscription service for CDs and VHS tapes. The in-game goal is to win a radio contest, but the game also invites you to enter a real-life competition that closed in 1994. archive.org/details/back...
On a dark purple digitized wall background: "LIVECLUB" logo in red letters; "Presents"; the logo for "Backstage", a graffiti-like design with green lettering outlined in yellow; "Freeware - freely copyable".Screenshot of "Backstage": Pixel art. The inside of a house in cross section, with two rooms fully visible - the living room on the top floor and the kitchen on the bottom floor - and other rooms leading off from them, partially seen at the edges. The hero character is walking down a staircase that connects the two floors.Screenshot of "Backstage": Pixel art. The hero character is standing at the entrance to a building with large open double doors, facing into it. The sign above says "LIVECLUB". There are promotional displays of what look like books or magazines.Screenshot of "Backstage": Pixel art. A cross section of a subway train carriage with darkness surrounding it, except for a light passing by overhead. There are several passengers standing or sitting on the train. The hero character is sat opposite one of them. Speech bubble: "LIVECLUB! They have the latest amazing CDs at incredible prices. Why not become a member yourself?"

Free advice when you want to work with an IndieDev on Discord: Please, don't waste our time. Don't start the conversation just by sending "Hi", telling us how great our games are or asking questions about it. If you want to sell something, just send your pitch directly. #indiedev #solodev

Happy birthday 🍰 MS-DOS! Born 12 August 1981. To celebrate, why not find one of those rare MS-DOS arcade machines? The aim of the game, just like the real thing, was to free up enough Conventional memory for your Soundblaster AND your CD drive. It's a hoot! 😆 #TillysCabinetOfCuriosities #DosGaming

I expected backlash over using AI in my game. What surprised me was the backlash over having a lesbian romance in the story. Didn't think much about it, I just wanted a female protagonist, and it seemed natural for her character. Now people are complaining about woke and DEI. 🙈 #gamedev #indiedev
