Our Card #Cricket Quest demo just received a big update!

Introducing Elite Bowlers, who have all sorts of debuffs and powers to stop you scoring.

And, we've made our Hall of Fame leaderboards live, so now you can see how your best scores stack up against other batters from around the world!

This looks insane 🤩

Some things you can do in my indie game
#indiegame #gamedev

Cold Salvage is a #multiplayer #co-op #horror #survival game set in the reaches of space. You're not a soldier - you're an engineer. Load up on gear, Explore, Repair, Survive.

Public playtests coming in 2026

One of the most important tools of the salvage engineer is the map table. You can override security lockouts and guide fellow engineers to the damage - so long as the wreck still has power. Strategize as a team!

The two newest bunguins are finished!

They're all hand made, and have name beads under the wing for their owner. I can't wait to add the newest name on the little one, due in a few weeks ❤️

A discord interaction where a user requests a bot use pirate speech

You may have heard of the Turing test, but have you heard of the pirate test for AI?

There are bots that trawl Steam updates, scrape Discord links, and message server owners for lead generation (I presume). We like to waste their AI credits outing the bots by asking for pirate speech

I never do #screenshotsaturday and frankly I already post too much, but what the heck here's another video from the library

A digital sketch of four cats squeezed into square shapes, arranged in a grid. The cats all slightly break out of their squares and have various cheeky expressions. The sketch was made with a realistic pencil brush. The Clip Studio Paint logo is in the bottom corner of the artwork.

Version 0.4.254 was just released to our alpha testers in the community discord. Updated UI, the first pass of the interactive map table, and the wreck now has a name plate!

Why not drop in to the Discord and check the project out discord.gg/qZPcA6cfBu

What is a Bunguin? Well, it's a hand-sewn plushie abomination that @gareth.develops.games makes to give to kids and friends. Number 37, 38, and 39 are in progress... check back soon ❤️🐰🐧

Look, it's a tiny thing but we are loving the new menu screens for Cold Salvage. Our new 3D artist is getting some serious mileage out of kitbashing - which is so critical in a small team on a shoestring budget

Quick little #WIP of the reactor core particle effects and unfinished deck layout.

The reactor is not dangerous by itself, but for some as-yet unknown reason, the things that cross over, they love to nest here. Move quickly, move quietly.

Working on time trial versions of some of the levels! It’s so fun to just zip through and I can’t wait to see all of the little tricks and shortcuts people find.

Sunshine (2007) ⭐ 7.2 | Sci-Fi, Thriller 1h 47m | R

Finally, mixed trope: Hard sci-fi that takes a sharp left turn

Sunshine (2007) has great acting, logical decisions, an intriguing story. The first 75% is so very good.

The ending (while it makes sense psychologically) veers off sci-fi in to supernatural

#scifi #sun

Prometheus (2012) ⭐ 7.0 | Adventure, Sci-Fi 2h 4m | R

Less-loved sci-fi trope: Critical missions with incompetent people in key positions

We love Prometheus, the lore, visuals, and acting is superb. But they sent some real bell-ends out there. The map guy got lost. The biologist didn't recognise aggression

#sci-fi #alien

www.imdb.com/title/tt1446...

Event Horizon (1997) ⭐ 6.6 | Horror, Sci-Fi, Thriller 1h 36m | R

Loved sci-fi trope: competent, rounded characters making intelligent decisions.

We love Event Horizon (1997) because the salvage crew do everything right, but they are faced with something beyond comprehension. It's not dumb choices that drive the movie

If you like roguelites and cricket, there's still a demo available for Card Cricket Quest: store.steampowered.com/app/4155160/...

Two of the devs that made Headlice also worked on this. I am told the "cricket ball to the nadgers" animation is 100% custom 😂

Happy Friday! Today's dev diary is this incredibly moody CIC (command deck) work in progress by our new 3D artist. We're so excited to see what they can build with the existing assets
