Creating complex mazes is a core element of Portal Sentinels. As a cheap alternative to placing towers, you can place walls! You can also replace them with a tower later on. #Gamedev #IndieDev #TowerDefense

Thanks #animasia and #indiegamefactory it was a blast. Never watched so many people play my game live at once before. Now it's time to get back to work on Portal Sentinels, and share the progress with everyone! #devlife #indiegames #indiegamedev #gamedev

Getting ready for the week-end at the Indie Game Factory in Bordeaux ! Meet the Astrow Games team at hall 3 of the Palais des Expositions for the #animasia festival! #gamedev #indiegames #bordeaux

Quick look at the Trap Launcher Tower in Portal Sentinels! Fills free nodes in a 3x3 radius around the tower with traps, damaging the enemies walking on it. Upgrade paths will unlock more utility by adding stuns, bleeding damage, explosion radius and more. #gamedev #solodev #indiegame #towerdefense

Quick look at the Pyromancer Tower in Portal Sentinels! Stacks up to 5 projectiles for an initial burst of damage, and a chance to inflict burn stacks on the target. store.steampowered.com/app/3630370/... #gamedev #indiegame #towerdefense

The Steam page for Portal Sentinels is live! store.steampowered.com/app/3630370/... I'm working on a grid-based Tower Defense with online coop, come check it out! Trailer will arrive in the next few months. 🤞 #gamedev #solodev #unity #gaming #steam #towerdefense

To my fellow french people in Bordeaux: Du monde interessé par Animasia le 11-12 octobre ? J'ai la possibilité de faire un concours pour 2 places offertes si il y a suffisamment d'intéressés ! Vous pourrez aussi m'y retrouver en tant qu'exposant pour le week-end. #jeuvideo #gamingfr #bordeaux

Started experimenting with Steam Lobbies and Steam Peer-to-peer Networking for a multiplayer prototype. Pretty straightforward for the moment but if you have some general advice or cool insight on the subject, I'd love to hear it! #GameDev #SoloDev

Still having a lot of fun implementing all the basic features of an RPG while experimenting with what could be some core mechanics of the game. (Assets are temporary) Got a lot of papers to fill this month and a big trip coming in April so updates will be a bit slower. #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev

Went a bit overboard and implemented a first version of the Loot System, with random rarity, affixes, tiers. Managed to do something quite modular to add, remove, modify values, weight etc. (Assets are temporary!) #IndieDev #GameDev #SoloDev #Prototype

I got contacted by a few people struggling to reach the 3rd boss in The Nightwatch, so I did a full run with a fresh save. I hope it can help guide a few players! I might reduce the difficulty again. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gs6Y... #TheNightwatch #IndieGame #GameDev

Started working on a prototype (assets are temporary). Spell bar, cooldown management, tab/click targeting, player orientation, cast bars... Next step: ~20 spells available, proceduraly generated rooms filled with enemies and i'll start playtesting the combat system #gamedev #solodev

Got a sweet new logo for Astrow Games! And I can say that I finally started working on a new game. I'll be working on a prototype of the combat system in the next few weeks and I'll go from there. I'll be back with something to show very soon! #GameDev #SoloDev

Happy new year Bluesky! Back from winter holidays, I pushed a quick patch v1.1.1 for The Nightwatch TLDR : Removed the Mystery Scroll and added new Blood Shop Scroll and Upgrade Shop Scroll to avoid confusion. Have a good day! store.steampowered.com/news/app/281... #GameDev #SoloDev

Having a small break for the holidays, and I hope everyone else is doing the same! I still have a few updates for The Nightwatch and I can't wait to finally start working on my new project in january.

I've been having such a BLAST playing #pathofexile2 these past couple of days. Can't wait to see what they bring during the early access.

Come checkout the Bullet Heaven Fest on Steam! store.steampowered.com/sale/bulleth... Many amazing bullet heaven games with a special discount, and the biggest discount I've done for The Nightwatch yet. #BulletHeavenFest #GameDev #Steam

Just updated the demo for The Nightwatch with all the QOL features of the v1.1.0, with the possibility to continue in infinite mode right after the first boss, that was missing from previous demo version. Can't wait for new people to try it during the #BulletHeavenFest 🏹 #GameDev #SoloDev

Thrilled to announce that The Nightwatch will be part of this #BulletHeavenFest, Dec 4–11, 2024 (PST), next to all those amazing bullet heaven games! With of course, a special discount for the occasion. Come check it out!

Patch v1.1.0 for The Nightwatch is now LIVE on Windows and Linux : store.steampowered.com/news/app/281... Many many changes, I added a TLDR at the top of the patch note. I'm thankful to everyone enjoying the game and sticking around for those patches! #gamedev #indiedev #thenightwatch

I've been working on the v1.1.0 update for The Nightwatch for a couple of weeks now, will redact the patch note today and most likely push it tomorrow!

Might need a bit more move speed for this one #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev

Kicking up projectile number in Ultra Hard, not sure if it really adds difficulty, but it's prettier!

This rare one dabs in multiple directions, I might need to tweak it a bit more as it's getting hard to dodge

New Starter Pack brewing, exclusively for #gamedev that support #Linux directly. I've added a good few to start, but boosts and suggestions appreciated. If you're a dev replying, be sure to link your game(s). go.bsky.app/FEMywoR

Awesome #gamedev and #artist to follow. If you want to be added, just comment. go.bsky.app/Nov6PsC

Another day, another starter pack - the Game Dev Field Guide community! This one will be wild. We've got people from all over the dev landscape - artists, coders, composers, solo devs... hobbyists and old pros, all hanging out & sharing their passions and insights on games 💜 go.bsky.app/Aydg7NB

Il reste une vingtaine de place pour ce premier starter pack ! Si vous voulez le rejoindre, n'hésitez pas à me faire signe en mp. Et pas d'inquiétude , j'en ai créé un autre où on réunira tous les développeurs français, pas forcément que indé ^^ //go.bsky.app/AkoEdbY

Except some weird rounding issues in damage calculations, my game seems to run out of the box with WebGL. Not sure what to do with this information.

Notre premier Start Pack consacré aux solo devs français. Il est très loin d’être complet donc n’hésitez à faire tourner pour qu’on fasse grossir cette liste 🙏 go.bsky.app/9W88nGU

As someone who never took the Twitter leap, and tried it "too late", I'm really enjoying the vibe here and all those amazing devs and games

Cannot express how much reviews are the best thing you could do to an indie dev when you enjoy a game, do it if you have the opportunity! Congrats on your 235!

Working on variations of each enemies, here's the big eye variant!
