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

I started a video series to explore how Naughty Dog implements level design in both exploration and combat scenarios. ✏️ In this first episode of "Inside Naughty Dog’s Level Design", I break down one of my favorite encounters from The Last of Us Part II—the Hillcrest level. I talk about combat flow, cover placement, verticality, environmental guidance, and how Naughty Dog keeps players thinking on the fly. Check out the full video below to see how they use space, cover, tension, and subtly guide players. 👇 🎥 Watch here: youtu.be/4dm_ayZGVqA #LevelDesign #GameDesign #TLOU2 #TheLastOfUsPartII #NaughtyDog #CombatDesign #Gamedev #EnvironmentDesign

Hard Facts about Unit Down Charge: - It's like Star Fox on foot. - Divine voice actors (that were lucky finds). - Fully animated cutscenes. - Megaman-styled level selection. - A solo dev who got a bit ambitious. - Has like, at least 3 fans.
Hard facts about #BatGalaxy -Explorable Zelda/Metroid-style worlds + linear Star Fox-style levels -Your ship can punch -Loads of bosses -Several hours of gameplay -Hidden areas -Solo project -I've been working on this game way longer than I ever expected
