Ever heard of a softlock?

#indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

Navigation in our upcoming game can be a bit weird.

I swear there's more than 1 room to our game.

#indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

Our game is (definitely not) broken.

You should not be here.

This lock took way longer to code than we'd like to admit.

#indiedev #indiegame #puzzlegame

It would if it didn't softlock the player in the process 😅

We'll work on fixing this feature, but I wouldn't be suprised to see some jank survive the polish process.

Pro tip: when making a video game, avoid implementing physics at all costs.

To-Do: Finish making the prototype so players can test our game.

Here's the rest of the logo ideas! The logo choice was far from being an easy decision 😅

The first half of the ideas we had before choosing our current logo design. Hats off to @mauillustrations.bsky.social for the creativity!

Here's the full environment concept art that we teased in our previous posts! Any thoughts about the visual style we're going for?

Team Presentation - Zoé, the beautiful mascot of the team.
A true scaredy-cat, and very, very talkative emotional support companion. She *will* steal your hair ties.

Don't be scared; I'm sure the moon means you no harm. Probably.

Colin “OnlyGoesByColin” Mitron-Brazeau (he/him), the programming specialist.

Makes friends everywhere he goes, is a stickler for code standards and probably spent too much time playing Blue Prince.

The real reason why you shouldn't look directly at the Sun: you'll feel really judged.

Slowly starting to figure out the colours and overall design of one of the characters of our upcoming game. If you have any thoughts, let us know!

Early exploration of a clearly trustworthy character in our unannounced game. Got any name ideas?

- Game mechanics focused on innovation, creative thinking and how well it ties to the story being told.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, we'd love to have you in our new discord server and keep you updated on the project! --> discord.gg/X9enBh9SUd

We'll start posting about our game soon but, in the meantime, here's what you can expect from it:

- An investigative-type of story-rich puzzle game (information-based, rabbit hole of conspiracy theories)
- A surreal, horrific aesthetic (atmospheric horror, not "jumpscare-y")

Hello there, we're three friends who love nerding out about weird game mechanics, TTRPGs and storytelling in its many forms, and we're preparing to share with the world the first project we'll be making under Trying Errors, our newly founded game studio!

Starting a video game studio is a crazy thing to do in 2025 but hey, here goes.
