First trailer for Foodgitives. How can food escape being cooked when they have no legs?? ☠️ In this couch co-op game you'll need to rely on each other to avoid the chopping block — or don't, there's singleplayer mode too. #indiedev

Balancing game difficulty is hard. Too easy and players check out. Too hard and they rage-quit before learning from the gameplay loop. @edwardivan_dev articulates how Foodgitives found the sweet spot. Check out his video on "hacking player retention". Link below. #indiedev

Hollow Knight: Silksong’s level design is brilliant! ✏️ I just made a quick video breaking down how Metroidvania design influences level design—and how one of the game’s early quests teaches players to master a new ability through smart, intentional design. It’s a perfect example of how strong level design can feel exciting, rewarding, and memorable. 🎥 Watch here: youtu.be/Hm1s4ExVJ_I?si=Lhbm… #Silksong #HollowKnight #Metroidvania #GameDesign #LevelDesign #IndieGames #Gamedev #SilksongRelease
