4 months passed.
I stepped away to focus on the game.
I’ll be sharing the journey over the next days 🌱

Big problem: In the first 5 minutes, players don’t realize the main goal of bringing water to the Sarv-e Abarkuh. They only get it after a puzzle!
How can I show this right from the start through gameplay? 🌱

Game dev takes time.
I looped Sword of the Sea’s music for days,an awesome experience on its own!
It made me think:
Mahsa… how should people experience Sarv-e Abarkuh?
How will you share it with the world?

One of the core mechanics in our game is the water system
We’re testing different techniques to see which one works best. It's still in progress but flowing forward. 🌱👾

Spent today just thinking about puzzles.
Do you prefer games that clearly show the path to the solution…
or ones that let you wander until it finally clicks?

The root system is alive now 🌱
Still young, still messy, but growing, just like the game.
Mistakes? Plenty. But for this stage, it feels enough. Isn't it? 👾

I’ve built several alternatives for the tree roots so far, and none of them feel quite right.
I’m starting to get why some directors shoot a scene over and over…
Like Chaplin did 342 takes for just one scene. 342!!!

As a game developer, I think more about irrigation and water systems than some of our officials ever have :)))

Making a game feels like alchemy.
A little design, a bit of art, a drop of sound…
Mix them right, and maybe just maybe you get a beautiful "experience."
We’re still mixing.👾🧪

While the systems come together, the art of Sarv-e Abarkuh is slowly taking shape, too.
Game development is like alchemy tiny parts, step by step, and come together to craft something beautiful.👾

The core game loop is built... but something still feels missing.
That one thing that makes you say:
“This is an indie game you just have to experience!”
What is it? I don’t know yet…
But I do know something’s missing :)))

Somewhere along the way, after working with talented teammates, I faced a tough decision:
Should the project end? Or should it keep going, even if it means walking the road alone?
Since March, I’ve been a solo developer.

In this suffocating heat,
working on the water channels of the Sarv-e Abarkuh project somehow makes the heat feel more bearable.
It’s like, with every path I build for the water,
•I breathe a little easier, too.
