In Paddlenoid you're actually breaking the game itself.

Or are you... Will you join the Empress or save the universe?

Thanks! 😊 - We're really happy with how it turned out!

Hit the big switch to flip layers.

If your friendship survives this, you may actually be soulmates 😊

From experience I can tell that launching without a discount isn't very effective.

Had less than 3% conversion.

But that's the curse of discounts. Steam does so many that most reasonable customers will wait for a discount before actually buying. I certainly do.

I think I just came up with a name for my game engine:

LINEAGE

Which stands for: "Lineage Is Not Exactly A Game Engine".

Because it's not.. It's a bunch code I did over the years bunched together to make Paddlenoid - Which is a game, not an engine 😊

Progress 💪

Paddlenoid may reach Android yet 😊

Someone already did a full play through of Paddlenoid reaching the 'bad' ending 😮

Don't watch if don't want any spoilers. But going for the good ending does have a little more content!

How the Android port is going so far .. 😬

Here's one of the middle 'Space' levels from Paddlenoid.

If you keep picking up crystals the game slowly starts to unravel near the end...

#gamedev #indiegames

I guess Paddlenoid is kind of a European Pony Island 😅

I love Pony Island, but also think that a little more subtlety can add to the experience.

#gamedev #indiegames

I thought I was mostly done with the Android port and just solving an input latency issue...

Then I learned about the 'new' GameActivity.

Well.. Never too late to start over I guess 😬

#gamedev #indiegamedev

Very cool!

I'm definitely keeping an eye out!

That sounds really cool, and a great starting point.

Will you be releasing a demo on Steam? - I'd definitely be curious to see it!

Love that idea!

Maybe a point-and-click adventure game would be a great way to dip your toes! I think there's still a pretty good audience for modern ones.

You can always go bigger 😊

This image showcases a discussion on Louise Blackwick's Patreon among the members of her community, who express their ardent desire for a videogame adaptation of Blackwick's bestselling dark fantasy Vivian Amberville novels.

My Patreon community's been asking this for YEARS. Maybe it's finally time to dream a little bigger.

I'm going to dip my little toe into the #gameindustry & see if there's any possibility of a #videogame adaptation of my successful dark fantasy book series, Vivian Amberville.

Time to go to work.💙📚

Just pushed a small update to Paddlenoid. Turns out that playing with a controller and navigating the in-game menu too fast had side effects... So ..

Now the game is perfect 😊

Play Paddlenoid on Steam tonight! It'll be fun! 👾👾

#indiegames #majorupdate

Thanks 😊

That’s awesome, thank you!

I’d love to be added to the list 😊

In case you missed yesterdays new...

Paddlenoid is finally out! - After a little over 2 years of development you can now finally play your part in this brick breaking epic 😊

One guy already described it as "the crack of 2026" 😅

Any second now ..

Thanks man! - I hope it won't be just once for me..

I slept like a log last night.

All through breakfast I felt this strange, unfamiliar sort of inner peace... Then it hit me.

It's... It's...

PADDLENOID RELEASE DAY!

Just a couple more hours😬

#gamedev #indiegames

New Paddlenoid demo, just two days before release!

Turns out I completely forgot to add a window box. Here's what that does.

So, if you where playing on an ultra-wide monitor (21:9) you'd see artifacts left and right on some scenes, like the title.

#gamedev #indiegames

Ah .. I simply forgot to make a proper window box to make sure the game looks OK on really weird aspect ratio's...

Guys... If you're playing Paddlenoid right now. Don't go to windowed mode and resize ok ... 😅

I'll have a fix up soon😊
