Most indie devs are terrified of showing bugs.
I just posted a video where hundreds of keys fly into a mushroom monster's face, deal zero damage, and he kills us anyway.
I have a theory: people don't share perfect gameplay. They share the moment everything went wrong.
Demo ships in April. #indiegame
Here's a work in progress video of the technique in action. vimeo.com/1175098049
Game AI Uncovered (Volume Four) is releasing tomorrow.
It contains 21 chapters that focus on different aspects of creating Game AI. One of them is my take on managing combat pacing.
Another concept art of my game's protagonist, Lizzy.
This was an exercise on drawing her facial expressions.

I scrapped my basic fade-out level transitions and replaced them with something a little more flashy. What y'all think? #gamedev #gamemaker #pixelart
Banjo Kazooie, Spyro the Dragon, Crash Bandicoot, Super Mario, Kirby, A Hat In Time, It Takes Two, Croc, Astrobot.
All these games and more inspired us in one way or another to create Teeto! 🩵

If you've enjoyed Cryptmaster, please consider sharing the news. Despite an IGF award, a 95% Steam rating and a free demo, the game has gone mostly unnoticed by both press and players. It's not just a typing game and there may still be people out there who would enjoy it!

Pixel art mockup. Top down scenery in a snow forest by night. An old industrial car on skis is lighting up the scene. 2 detectives in black coats are standing in front of a naked corpse pierced by a black stick. A dialog box with a portrait of the detective, tied hair, with her hat in her hand. In the other side, dialog portrait of the corpse. Text : does he know, you ask yourself. Doesn't matter. You feel his gaze, and the silence is breaking you. You must say something. 3 choices of dialog: i know him (deceiving) who was your informant again (persuasion) why are we dealing with dead vampires (innocence)
