Steam optimization and the social media algorithm machine burnt me out pretty hard so I decided that I am building a game for me. This project is Caves of Qud inspired and its only going to be playable on my website 😁 #indiegame #Gamedev

Super stoked about the windows 95 themed website that I created for Vinciware.com! Been diving deep into the indie web lately, and honestly… this feels like the future. Owning your space, building weird/cool things, and keeping the web personal again.

Happy New Year everyone!🥳 The best way to make a great game is to play great games — so I’ve started a new blog category for reviews of the games I’m playing. 🎮 It’s mostly a tool for me to look back on, but maybe it’ll be useful or interesting to you too. My first post is on Pokémon Yellow — link in bio. #Pokemon #Nintendo #indiegame #Gamedev

4 prototypes in a month. Instead of chasing “the first good idea,” I’ve been digging into what actually makes games fun. Highly recommend Designing Games by Tynan Sylvester if you haven’t read it. Wish I’d started this sooner - but I’m more excited than ever for what’s next! #indiegame #gamedev

What I learned from the public Steam playtest: Cosmic Castaway has strong ideas—but I jumped the gun on full development. I should’ve nailed the core gameplay loop first, not expanded features. Now I’m prototyping internally for a much stronger version. Development won’t be delayed long—I can reuse a lot of what’s built. Huge thanks to everyone who joined the playtest!😁 #indiegame #Gamedev

Halloween is my absolute favorite! When October rolled around I jumped at the thought of making themed levels for Cosmic Castaway.🎃👻 I'll be updating the playtest with one of these themed levels this week! Let me know what you think! 😁 #indiegame #Gamedev

Obligatory #ScreenshotSaturday post! Tweaked the level select flow based on your feedback - faster, cleaner, and way less confusing. #indiegame

Playtest Update #2 🚀 Over 140 of you have signed up to playtest Cosmic Castaway! It's a surreal feeling knowing people are playing my creation (even in its current buggy state). Speaking of bugs... I've had lots of comments about the bridges being difficult to understand. So I made some improvements to the indication system! You now have confirmation if each end is on the ground 😁 #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #unity3d #steam #pcgaming
