Lost my job this summer. Decided to pour everything into finishing this game instead. It's surreal, meditative, strange. Plant seeds, watch your dreams change. Chase angels, run from nightmares. Repeat. Demo is live now! benlap.itch.io/rem #indiegames #gamedev #unity3d

Some shots of my surrealist dream exploration game. Wander through a series of strange places that respond to what you've seen before and what you've planted in the garden next to your bed #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

Indie game developers in 2026 are like I made a game where you: ⠀⠀• Scrub grout with a toothbrush ⠀⠀• Unsubscribe from mailing lists ⠀⠀• Replace fire alarm batteries

very much the inspo when I was building this scene in Otherside
The Super-Kamiokande in Japan: a massive underground neutrino detector lined with 11,000 golden bulbs. Scientists have to inspect it via a rubber dinghy.

if there's one thing you should know about me, it's that I think all game levels need floating heads. Here's two #gamedev #indiedev
