The worst part about not being able to draw is wanting to show off the stuff we’ve been working on…
…but a lot of it is still covered in my "beautiful" dev art until the pixel artists are finished
Exhibit A: The hammer

#IndieDevs, what’s the dumbest bug you’ve ever spent way too long fixing?
I once spent a couple of hours hunting down a performance issue, only to discover I was continuously instantiating my campfire flame at night (in an infinite loop) 😭

#IndieDevs, how long did it take you to figure out game dev is just repeatedly saying:
“that’ll be easy to add”
until your entire week is gone? Took me a few months until I realised it was, in fact, not easy to add.
#gamedev
Had a very productive day of indie game development:
0 lines of code written
0 pixels drawn
300+ messages sent :)
Game development 👍

Pixel artists 👋
Seeing the environments other indie devs are building has really inspired me to push mine further lately.
What are your biggest tips for making a pixel art environment actually feel alive for a topdown game? 🌿
#pixelart#indiedev#gamedev
Hey #indiedevs 👋
Feeling uncertain about your game?
Try spending a bit of time on the small stuff: better sound effects, QoL improvements, cleaner UI, little bits of polish 🛠️
It’s surprising how quickly a game can start feeling a lot more “complete.”
#gamedev#indiegame
There’s something really satisfying about watching a game slowly go from a bunch of disconnected systems into an actual little vivid world.
Still plenty to build 🌱 #indiedev#gamedev#farmingsim#indiegame
We’ve been working hard on upgrading the assets for Summit of Elements, and we’re getting closer to showing off the game’s new look 👀
Hopefully, we’ll have a first version to share with you soon! #indiedev#farmingsim#gamedev
#Indiedevs who post Shorts/Reels
What have you actually changed that lowered your swiped away %?
Not looking for generic “better hook” advice, I mean specific things like first-frame choice, opening line structure, text on screen, ...
What made a measurable difference for you?

I paid someone to fix my UI because apparently “web developer” does not mean “good at game UI.”
Worth it though 😭👇

🖼️Updated the dialogue UI for our indie game!!
There’s still some polishing left to do, but I think this is a big step forward. Really happy with how it came together.

Been a while since I tweeted about Summit Of Elements! It's been so busy behind the scenes. Adding NPC's (20+!!) and making the town feel alive Something we've been playing around with recently is a custom shadergraph for our water tiles.

My indie game, Summit of Elements is heavily inspired by Avatar: The Last Airbender and Stardew Valley. Seeing the ATLA movie leak is awful for the team behind it. Don’t share leaks, support the title and watch it properly when it releases.
