we're gonna need all of it, thank you!

We swedes really like to create really complex bureaucratic systems. Which sometimes is a good thing! But in this case it was incredibly frustrating 😅
Yes, finally! Let the man cook!
Today I'm doing my first real proper workday as game designer, co-founder and CEO at @splendidfailures.bsky.social.
I've crawled through Swedish bureaucracy to secure a grant that gives med financial support, but I've finally arrived at the starting point. Feels good!

I'm designing a custom MtG set based on a DnD campaign I ran for multiple years. The players were all skilled artists so I have a lot of art to use, but not enough to cover all cards. So today me and my 2 year old son made a co-lab artwork for a basic Forest
Too many testers tried to burn the dog for us not to add an easter egg… Steam page for A Corporate Machine coming soon!

Also, your art is amazing :)
Awesome stuff! I've been wanting to make a schoolyard soccer playing card game for a long time. I was very inspired by the Blood Bowl card game back in the day. Love this take!

We’re experimenting with different ways for our little vacuum cleaner robot to interact with the office workers. Unionize today for table tennis breaks!

The environment in our game, A Corporate Machine, is inspired by tech and interior decoration from the 70s to the 90s. But with more advanced capabilities like wireless communication protocols and one heck of a smart robot vacuum cleaner. #indiegame #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #blender #godot
None can question Omega Global's dedication to the environment, not with such an efficient incenerator installed!

Love myself a card game. This looks super interesting, love the theme. Wishlisted!
In A Corporate Machine you play as Sanitron TC-84, the world's most overqualified robot vacuum cleaner.
Unseen and underappreciated, but also free to shake things up!

Joe Abercrombie is the 🐐. I've read or listened to almost all of his books. I love them all! Before They are Hanged is truly fantastic.
Happy #portfolioday 🥳
Here is my portfolio hopefully posted on time 😆
A timeline visually representing the advice from my post, emphasising how dramatically and reliably having more time, with a testable build, converts to your game being better and your studio being safer.
I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.
A lovely read, well written and with thoughtworthy insights.
Happy Saint Lucy's Day! #godot #blender #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame
Some progression on the look-development environment for A Corporate Machine. Lots of pipeline work done to make asset creation in #blender easier and exporting to #godot smoother #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev
We had a fun time showing off A Corporate Machine at a #gamedev pub, hosted by @swedengamearena.bsky.social. It’s an uncontrolled environment, and getting lots of hands on it when it’s early and rough really lets you see what the biggest hurdles are for players to get in to the loop. #Indeigame
We made a mess of the demo level 🧹 #screenshotsaturday #godot #indiegame #gamedev
Drill Bird has now been out for a week and I've been delighted by the response. The game sits at +80 positive reviews. Fun that people like tiny games! 🐦⛏️✨
Feel free to give it a go if you're keen for some bitesized chill puzzly mining🥚

We tested without it for a while... but the throw action is back 🤖 💥 Use it to optimise your work, get out of boring tasks, or just chuck anything you can get your metal paws on really! #indiegame #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #acorporatemachine #godot
Goodbye pumpkins, hello peppermint! Getting into the holiday spirit and cooking up lots of fun stuff for our game. #gamedev #indiegame #godot #blender #acorporatemachine

This week: Continued work on the prototype, talks with potential partners, and making some serious progress on our Blender to Godot pipeline. Our 3d-artist is weirdly proud to let you know that the Godot-shot is only three draw calls 🤷 #gamedev #indiegame #blender #godot #screenshotsaturday
Okay, the quest is still janky and cobbled together, but our little vacuum can now torch their bloodsucking supervisor for a gold keycard in the prototype 🤖🧠🧛🔥 #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev #godot
