Mayfly is an eerie story-based #psychologicalhorror game set aboard a #narrowboat in Northern England. You wake up The doors are locked Your husband is missing And your reality begins to slowly unravel... Wishlist now on #steam: buff.ly/miA86yh #gamedev #indiegame #horrorgame #screenshotsaturday

What no-one tells you about #gamedev is the amount of time you'll spend modelling things like a plastic washing up bowl in #blender. I hope the 3 people that notice this in the final game enjoy it 😅

I recently streamed this demo and I'm very much looking forward to the full release! youtu.be/CiCCNoEAMkM

I'm really excited for this one - quiet psychological horror on a narrow boat in Northern England is such a unique concept, and the game is simply beautiful and brimming with atmosphere. If you haven't checked out Mayfly yet I'd very much recommend trying out the demo and wishlisting!

🎶 Yay! Pleased to confirm the music for Mayfly will be composed by the amazing @finnpaul.bsky.social! 🎶 Check him out: buff.ly/6MmY4Ld You can hear an early concept track in the demo which is currently live on #steam: buff.ly/L8eERwQ #gamedev #gamesoundtrack #indiegame #steamdemo

++ some fixes and minor improvements have just gone live! 📖 Background lore fix (thanks @donnietownstudio.bsky.social) 🔧 Fixed a few ridiculously hard to find but funny bugs (eg; one where you could essentially collect the guestbook an infinite amount of times) #gamedev #indiedev #steamdemo

For my lovely non-UK friends who either haven't heard or don't believe it: It is absolutely true that our poster child for far right, populist grifting has put himself in a position where he has to face off in a vote against a guy who wears a bin on his head and claims to be an alien

Bastard of a migraine again today so I’m planning on self-medicating with football on the telly, Taco Bell takeaway and an entire box of Thorntons chocolates just as soon as the kids are down 😇🤣

Just discovered I’m on a pro-AI block list as well as an anti-AI block list and now I don’t know what I believe in anymore 😵🏳️

Just played 'Before I Forget' - what a beautiful game! Simple and effective. @donnietownstudio.bsky.social I think you'd quite like this. It's on sale as well for £1.49! store.steampowered.com/app/1126600/... #gamedev #indiegame #beforeiforget

✨ NEW TRAILER FOR MAYFLY BY @backyardzoo.bsky.social ✨ Please go play the updated demo which is now 30 minutes and if you like it, wishlist as it helps the dev 😍🎮 Voicing Caroline has been amazing and I can't wait for the full game to be out later on this year #voiceactor #indiegame #mayfly

Doing a science experiment @backyardzoo.bsky.social #MayFly #Demo #IndieGame #ROGAlly

I won a prize on the 🇬🇧 National Lottery this morning! My prize was…£1. The ticket cost me £2. Genuinely, is it even a prize if you’re out of pocket? Surely that’s just a partial refund 😵 Anyway, I wonder what I should spend my prize money on?

This is one of my favourite #quiethorror moments from the demo. I just find the idea of the door not being real absolutely terrifying. The first inkling that your reality is falling apart… Thank you again for playing. store.steampowered.com/app/4554960/... #gamedev #indiegame #steamdemo

Is This Even A Door? #MayFly, #Demo, #Gameplay, #DeafBlindGamer

I had an incredible ammount of fun exploring! I am very honored to be a part of the development. Even if its just a tiny bit of a11y imput I’ve given. The game is incredibly detailed and looks amazing. Chat & I had a blast figuring it all out. Thank you. 😍

I had so much fun watching this - not an inch of that narrowboat left unexplored 🫶 Thank you @mustlovedon.bsky.social Just a few small a11y improvements to be made for the next version bump, delighted with that!

Tonight @ 7pm EU (6pm UK) I’ll be live playing the new #MayFly demo. I’m not good at video games and I’ll be seeing this demo for the first time. So hopefully I’ll do @backyardzoo.bsky.social game the justice it deserves. More content, extra puzzles and retro vibes. C U there! twitch.tv/mustlovedon

I am delighted to read this. Exactly the vibe I was going for! Thank you for playing! #gamedev #silenthill #ukcanals

This looks awesome, gotta check it out 😎

Escape room + Silent Hill + scenic British canal = Mayfly There's a good amount here for a demo, the atmosphere is suitably creepy and mysterious and there are some nice touches in the environment. Give it a run

I tried it, I wishlisted it! The environment captures a lot of details I remember from when I would visit my partner on her boat, the reality shifts did a good job of poking my anxiety glands too. Nice work, @backyardzoo.bsky.social! Whoever plays Caroline does a good job as well :p

Damnit! I need a new laptop so badly, just so I can get and play this 😭

📹Here’s an updated trailer for the NEW Mayfly demo which is live now on Steam… youtu.be/me200V1jHx4?... Water-way to spend half an hour of your weekend (sorry): #gamedev #indiedev #narrative #psychologicalhorror #gametrailer #steamdemo #ukcanals

Its coming to Tuesday evening’s stream. 😀

What’s more - it features the brilliant @tammykingofficial.bsky.social as Caroline Miller. 🗣️ Why not give the new demo a go over the weekend? I’d love to hear all your feedback. #gamedev #steamdemo
