Just watched @ThinMatrix add crafting machines to HomeGrown.
A good lesson for automation games: give clear indications about, machines show why they stopped (no input, tank full, missing part)... #gamedev #indiedev

This indie dev made a horde survival game where you build a town between runs.
- Cast spells and command troops
- Each building unlocks a troop, spell or skill
- Spinoff of Songs of Conquest
This is Wielders of the Essence and it's out now. What's your favourite bullet heaven?
Just finished this video from @thomasbrushdev on what to do after launch. The line that hit me: compete with yourself. I need to stop checking every new release and focus on my own growth. Great advice, and really appreciated right now. I'm definintly guilty of doing that ;-) Good points in the video overall I think. #indiedev #gamedev

Watched a video by @UnityCodeMonkey on bugs that only show up on players' PCs.
Most players never report a bug. They refund and leave a bad review. Yikes.

Game dev is supposed to be fun. So why do I spend all my time on UI, shop panels and font sizes?
Corner Quest's Spells tab, before and after: bigger text, clearer costs, and Forms and Runes up top.
Free demo: store.steampowered.com/app/4…
ALT Before: Corner Quest's Spells tab in demo 2.0.1, with small text and the Spell details crowded together.
ALT After: the Spells tab in demo 2.0.2, with bigger text, an Equipped 4/4 count, upgrade costs, and Form and Runes near the top.

In less than 72 hours, The King's Surveyor has reached over 2k wishlists on steam! 🤯
Never did I think I would get this kind of reception when I started this project a year ago. Thank you so much for all the support and encouragement!

I humbly announce my new solo-developed game: The King's Surveyor!
A first-person exploration adventure in the King's Field tradition. You are a surveyor flung to the far edge of a valley nobody has mapped, and a long, dangerous road back home.
Built in a custom engine over the last year, this game is all about getting back to the roots that got me into gaming in the first place!
Wishlist and a repost would genuinely help a solo dev: store.steampowered.com/app/5…
Just finished this podcast from @JonasTyroller with Tommy, co-dev of Gnomes.
Your demo is a launch, not a playtest. Get players into the action in the first 15 minutes. #gamedev #indiedev

Glassvow Devlog #2
Every foe in Glassvow is made of glass, so HP isn't the only thing you can break.
Each foe also has a facet gauge. Most have four facets; elites and bosses have more. Every unblocked hit chips one. Fill the gauge and the glass shatters: the foe skips its next action and spills two Embers.
The catch is that each break adds one facet to the gauge, so the second shatter costs more than the first.
That makes timing the real decision. Break it now, or save the break for the turn its intent really hurts.
More of how it's built soon. Follow along if you like seeing the rules behind a deckbuilder.
Announcing Sun Smith, our space incremental.
Wake an ancient derelict around a dark star and help it rebuild: harvest Power, open new Orbits, and grow an industry all the way to a megastructure.
