#Chlorolink
I should post about #ChloroLink but we're cooking for a trailer this week... Also Unbeatable by @dcellgames.com is out, and I baked it 4 years ago, and waited so long. So... yeah I'm gonna play this game. If you read this, you gotta play it too!
I don't make the rules.

Screenshot of the same video game but at night.
Three of my closest friends are working tirelessly on creating a video game. It's called #ChloroLink, and if you like pretty plants and cozy games, I encourage you to check it out! You might even want to add it to your Steam wishlist! 🍃
If you want daily updates on our cozy management/exploration game #ChloroLink, come hang out on our Discord <3
(Vid is a wink at all my fellow gamedevs. we got this!!)
#gamedev #indiegame #videogames #indiegames #flowers
Let's be honest - just testing out a video format to see how Bluesky react to it! Last time quality was meh, seems better now?
Very very proud of how it looks now, though <3
(If you like that format we'll share more of it :D)

What's your feeling about la Provence ? 🪻✨
#ChloroLink is a management / exploration game... but also a cute and cozy game! You got time to just plant flowers and fill the area if you will <3
Btw, feel free to join our Discord!

Testing out clouds 🌤️, new bushes and trees🍃, and small weather effects (will show it soon!).
It's all coming together 💛

(If you saw that post twice, sorry! It's because videos on bsky are meh :> we got ya, here is a gif!)
End of the "optimization week"! Not much new content, but went from 30 to 130 stable FPS on low-end, no GPU laptop. Because you know what's NOT cozy and chill? DROPPED FRAMES! Also, save system ✨
(If you want cozy and chill, you can wishlist #ChloroLink on #Steam <3)

Aquaga is a tree that automatically brings water to the other plants nearby. And... you can pop the bubbles if you feel like it 💚(It does nothing. But it's satisfying!! isn't that what we should all aim for?)

Start of the game with the main plant Lux growing roots
In game book which holds all the details about Lux
More advanced stage of the game where roots starts to cover the area. Every root connecting to Lux are glowing gold
Hey #PitchYaGame 👋
#ChloroLink is a cute and cozy management game where you reconnect a whole ecosystem
🌿 Discover plants that all are a bit magical
🍵 Enjoy a relaxing gameplay for an afternoon
🧭 Discover secrets that the world has forgotten...
We use the Herbarium to better express core mechanics (and hide special things but shhhh 💚)
It's a great occasion to add schemas and artworks ✨
#gamedev #indiedev #cozygame #unity #ChloroLink #indiegame #booknerds
We defined our goals for this year and everything up until release over the weekend, soooo READY to continue this adventure! ✨
My favorite part of our playtest last week? Seeing people's face during that part of the tutorial <3

Notre motivation est plus grande que jamais ✨
#gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #unity #playtest
As we ready ourselves for our first public playtest tomorrow (thanks @push-start.org !), here is a sneak peek at #ChloroLink 's herbarium! What's a cosy game without a book with flipping pages!? 🍃✨
#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #Unity #flowers #books
#ChloroLink is a small management AND exploration game. And what's exploration without hidden collectibles!? First appearance of a Luxicorn, that you will have to find and collect!

Screenshot of a page from dicolatin.com for translations in latin of the french word "sinueux"
When you're a french game writer, working on a plant game and you want scientific sounding names for your cute plants (aka just silly words but in latin)

We strongly believe a part of making videogames is about art and the creation process, so here is a time-lapse of one of our #ChloroLink asset made by @zdieska.bsky.social! Can you tell which flower it's inspired from? <3

Too bad you don't have the sound (yet!) to hear those popping bubbles... it's very satisfying! <3
If you pop one, all the full bubbles around are cascading!
#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #ChloroLink #bubbles #popSoundIsAddictive
Experimenting with odd areas...It's making level design difficult but it's a fun challenge!

Meme format with the daydreaming girl and the crying girl who draws The daydreaming girl: telling my friend I'll write the lore for his game The crying girl: writing the lore
#ChloroLink will be a cosy game, for sure.
But you know what is *not* cosy? Working on a cosy game
I promise, I'll write all the lore needed @laywelin.bsky.social 😌
I'll panic while writing it, but it will be the chillest ever
#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame
Had friends testing out #Chlorolink to prepare for a demo (coming soon!). Kinda looks like a cosy management game, nah?! (There will be less on screen don't worry :D)
#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame
What's happening Friday afternoon on Discord, you wonder...? (Context: I fixed how we display the path linking each plants to Lux!)
#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #Chlorolink #RusselLux #Gladialink
UI color tint when night comes is my favorite feature! Now to add some light underglow to match the fireflies...
How do you feel about UI reacting to day/night cycle? <3
