Abysm today: Kept on debugging the sound/volume control code and found and fixed two important problems. As a bonus I now understand this quite old code well again. Will likely release a fix version tomorrow.

It's #ScreenshotSaturday and I'll show off a small post-launch update of The Portsmoor Abysm, my atmospheric puzzle game. The projectiles fired by the Pale Brood now result in green explosions, just for variety:-)

Thanks!
Tonight, after working on it as a hobby basically every day for 1.5 years, I'm releasing my first game, an atmospheric boulder-pushing puzzle game, inspired by classics such as Boulder Dash. Been fun, but a lot of work!

#indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #followfriday
Abysm today: Got some feedback and made some minor tweaks. Released new versions of the demo and the full game.
Less than 24 hour to go before release. Add a final wishlist to the tally?

Congrats, that's awesome! I unfortunately don't know yet, ask me again tomorrow :-)
Abysm today: Follow-up work after changing the name, including updating the press kit, and the Itch.io page.
Release is on Friday, feels a bit surreal after 1.5 years of spending time on this game essentially every day.
Wishlist? store.steampowered.com/app/4025180

Big, Huge News on this Tuesday... with three days to go until the release of my game I'm changing the name!

Big news on my atmospheric boulder-pushing puzzle game today! It will still be releasing on Friday, the 20th, but for "reasons" it will now do so under a new and longer name:
"The Portsmoor Abysm"
Demo? Yes!

Abysm today: Continuing on with yesterday's issue I spent a bunch of time in Aseprite.
It's #DemoMonday though, so play mine if you for some reason still haven't?

#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #lovecraftian #cosmichorror #puzzlegame #pixelart #bevyengine
Abysm today: Fixed a fairly niche but hard-to-track player sprite flickering issue. Was also forced to handle a non-technical problem of which more might come.
It's #ShowMeSunday, and I'll show this screenshot. Demo? Here: store.steampowered.com/app/4025180
#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart
Absolutely! Or double it why not... though I find that a bit much.
Abysm today: Two new achievements (once again the final planned ones) for a total of 32, preparing a bug report for an upstream library, and reading up on some old code to be able to polish an animation.

Abysm today: Made a cut down version of my trailer as a release date announcement video. March 20th if you missed it. Also worked on some art for more varied backgrounds, and a bit of problem hunting.

Hello!
Abysm is my atmospheric puzzle game with Sokoban-like mechanics, inspired by classics such as Boulder Dash and Supaplex, and I'm releasing it on Steam in one week. Demo? Available!

#indiegame #puzzlegame #indiedev #gamedev #followfriday #steamdeck #bevy
Abysm today: Got trailer feedback and tweaked a bit. The small test program I built yesterday can repro the issue on that machine. Good.
It's #ShowcaseThursday so maybe check out the new minor revision of the trailer on Steam?

Abysm today: Spent time isolating the game pause logic in a separate project for debugging on a machine where it causes an annoying problem.
It's #WishlistWednesday, so maybe play the demo and wishlist?

#puzzlegame #steamdeck #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #bevy
Abysm today: Prep work for a couple of new achievements, created a demo beta branch, fixed a very minor physics inconsistency, and handled some tech debt.
It's #TrailerTuesday, watch the updated one and play the demo: store.steampowered.com/app/4025180
#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart #bevy
Abysm today: Hunted for the annoyance bug that I can't repro on my machine since it doesn't seem to be fixed, signs pointing to something related to OS key handling because if I replace the offending key with a different binding it stops being problematic. Sigh.
