We finally fixed a persistent GPU crash bug. The breakthrough wasn't a new debugging tool, but a specific laptop from a beta tester. The real insight? In an un-reproducible crash, the hardware is often the critical piece you're missing. Don't debug in the dark. #gamedev #indiedev
Call it uncool; it’s survival. Indies die from illiquidity. Monthly I update 3 scenarios and default to the pessimistic one, treating any upside as a bonus. Stress test: rev -50%, payments 60–90d late, costs +20%. Only proceed if worst-case leaves 6-12m runway. #gamedev #indiedev
Even though I am always impatient and can't wait for things to happen quickly enough, it is wonderful to see what time can achieve. #indiedev #gamedev #unreal

Deadly Days: Roadtrip DEMO went live yesterday.
This is some backpack screenshots shared by our community.
Good inventory management is key for a strong build.
What do you think of the combination of inventory management x roguelite?

Setup GitHub Actions for our #UnrealEngine project a while ago. Quite common for larger studio, but for a small indie like us, it was an initiative. It's already proving its worth! Commit -> Auto build + upload to STEAM + Backtrace. Do you use build automation? #indiedev #gamedev

Oh wow, "buy this car on special offer, but the brakes cost extra" 🙃
Game development is often hard and challenging, but there are also those moments where you can be silly by changing a 4 to a 0.01. Let it rain bananas! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame
Hello,
have you heard about 'Deadly Days: Roadtrip'?
It's a unique mix of inventory management and reverse bullet hell.
If you liked backpack battles or vampire survivors, this might be for you.

We made a major overhaul of our procedural map gen in "Deadly Days: Roadtrip". We now defin biomes, which swap certain texture slots and our #Unreal PCG graph. Map generation is still the same (street, parking lot, etc.). Gives a lot more variety and future possibilites. #indiedev #gamedev
NEW GAME ANNOUNCEMENT!
A 1995 CD-ROM. A game buried for a reason. You flip a card. The screen glitches. Something is watching.
Forbidden Solitaire—a dungeon horror from the creators of Ancient Enemy and Home Safety Hotline.

Really looking forward to that. The multiplayer in the demo was also very fun (and somehow very chill).
I guess I’ll try that next time too if the idea fits.
Yeah I guess next week will be hard, returning to Unreal on our current production 😅
I am quite fascinated by #godot GDscript iteration speed. I've been working with #unity and #unreal for years now and I'm constantly having to wait minutes here and there. GDScript changes are instant. A completely different way of working. How in Unreal? #gamedev #indiedev
We considered something like this too (one dedicated experimentation day), but since always on the edge capacity wise it is hard. So for us a concentrated week makes more sense. But I really love that you can fiddle around in your GaaS game and hopefully find new cool opportunities.
We started the year with a prototype week. Even though we are in production with Deadly Days, it's necessary to maintain a creative outlet and develop ideas—the timing always feels off. How do you incorporate game jamming and prototyping into your studio production pipeline? #indiedev #gamedev
Announcing three new games set in the Null State universe, available for wishlisting now through our Steam developer page!

(not so useful) #UnrealTips: Found this command while bug hunting. The engine allows you to display mouse event pings out of the box.
Phew! Here's the first 20 unknown and under-known indie games for #thanksgaming24!
I had over 490 emails, so it's brutal even when I've upped the number to include to 40! Next batch tomorrow.
Please repost this to get as many eyes on these games as possible. #indiedev

#UnrealTips: Enter Culture=leet in the command line and your game will show up in leet speech. This allows finding fields that are not properly set up for localization. In Editor it changes the editor language too, see pic 😆 #UnrealEngine #gamedev #indiedev
