#OZPlay2026 was incredible! Thank you everyone who came, and to those who played To The Trenches on PC/Steam Deck #rts #ww1 #indiedev #gameDev

@dadmadethings.com at GDC 2026! #JetBrainsForGameDev

At our current download rate, To The Trenches should hit 1 million total downloads while I'm at GDC! 🏆🥳 #indieDev #GameDev #iosGaming #androidGaming #GDC2026

Every now and then I think about the possibility of expanding To The Trenches to other platforms. Yeah there's Steam and Itch, but one that has recently caught my attention is @gx.games 🤔 #GameDev #indieGames #GameMaker #rts

I’ll be going to #GDC this March! Who else is going? #GameDev #indieDev

It's been a while since I last posted. It's only because the @dadmadethings.com team and I have been VERY busy working on Update 1.7 and our 🎃 2nd Halloween Event 🎃 for #ToTheTrenches! Here's a little photo dump of what's to come. #indieDev #gameDev #GameMaker #Halloween #mobileGaming #gaming #WW1

The team has really outdone themselves with this update. To The Trenches looks incredible with the enhanced Lighting and FX system. The new achievement system and career room lets players earn and showoff their accolades! 🎖️ Can't wait to see to see what people share! #indieDev #gameDev #GameMaker

Some incredible progress made to our lighting system in To The Trenches. @foxyofjungle.bsky.social has been a valuable resource and everyone at @dadmadethings.com appreciates all that he has done for our game. #indieDev #gameDev #GameMaker #mobileGaming #ww1

First thing I had to do was load Debug++ onto my @debugmag.com mobile app prototype. Can't wait to kick back, relax and read through all of the new content! #indieDev #mobileDev @flutter.dev

The community engagement, consistent drive for innovation and the willingness to explore new avenues is what makes @debugmag.com such a great addition to fun and informative content in the Indie Games space. I have already subscribed (which is free!!!) and downloaded my Debug++ copy! 📖🎮🤓

Here's a working gif of the Drag-n-Drop system I posted about yesterday. #indieDev #gameDev

Entries officially close in 24 hours. We’d love to keep this open for longer, but we’re print media and that means allowing time for printing. Catch Debug #11 on 28 July!

Made a first iteration mana + mana regen system. Now units cost per summon as well. I only had 30 minutes to work on this today, so it ain’t much, but it’s an honest feature 😅 #gameDev #indieDev #mobileDev

A little update to the goofy placeholders, and how I’m using them. 🧟 💀 #indieDev #gameDev #GameMaker #mobileGame #mobileDev

Spent too much time making the Abomination placeholder and ran out of time in the day. I think the other placeholders will do for now as well 😅 #indieDev #gameDev

The beginning stages of something amazing? 🤔 #indieDev #GameDev @gamemaker.io @dadmadethings.com

Here is a preview of Character Creation, coming to #ToTheTrenches! Over 3.1 million different feature combinations and 2500 randomly generated names for each faction to choose from! (You’ll also be able to give custom names if you’d like 😎) #indieDev #gameDev #ww1 #GameMaker #mobileGaming

Update 1.6.18 is now LIVE on iOS and Android! View the developer notes here: www.reddit.com/r/tothetrenc... #indieDev #gameDev #ToTheTrenches #mobileGaming

What a pleasant surprise to see my game To The Trenches was featured in the latest edition of @debugmag.com I would love for you guys to give the magazine a read here: debu.gg/9 #indieDev ##gameDev #debugMagazine #mobileGaming

Grayson has been such a key player in taking TTT to the next level. The music sounds so good!

I'm so excited for this one! The Dad Made team has put a lot of heart and soul into this update. I'm very proud of what the team has accomplished. 💪😎 The Anniversary Update, 1.6 will be releasing to #iOS and #Android on April 28th! 🥳🎉 #indieDev #gameDev #GameMaker #ww1 #mobileGaming

Wanted to see how my game #ToTheTrenches would do on a Steam Deck and I was pleasantly surprised. If I configure the controls for gamepad, I think I might have something pretty cool! #indieDev #gameDev #mobileGaming

Um... its 95% funded right now! So close!!!

I woke up this morning to find my game on Apple’s front page for games! To be considered a Popular Game among so many other incredible games is such an honor and a dream come true. I’m so thankful for my incredible team at Dad Made for making #ToTheTrenches an amazing game. #IndieDev #GameDev

I am so excited for players to get their hands on the newest update on April 28th! #ToTheTrenches #IndieDev #GameDev #WW1 #Mobile #Gaming

Today has been bug fixes, added our new Landing Page music and implementing our new Desert battlefield assets. Getting ever so closer to finishing Update 1.6 for #ToTheTrenches #IndieDev #GameDev #WW1

I think I can end the week happy with the VFX added for vehicles in #ToTheTrenches. I just wrapped today up by adding tread marks on the battlefield to give that extra level of detail. Have a great weekend everyone! #IndieDev #GameDev #WW1 #RTS #Tanks

Spent a majority of the day learning about Spatial Audio Emissions and Particle Systems in @gamemaker.io . I feel like it's been extremely helpful learning day as I am now able to greatly enhance the immersion within #ToTheTrenches Here is a small clip of a German A7Z Tank. #IndieDev #GameDev

We've been working very hard to implement tanks into #ToTheTrenches There are some more changes we need to make to them, but they are already causing mayhem on the battlefield. Getting closer and closer to having Update 1.6 ready for release! #IndieDev #GameDev

Finally it's here... How to make 3D Games in Godot! 🌟 youtu.be/ke5KpqcoiIU #GodotEngine

As a #Godot Junior 👶 I was extremely proud to create a working #Football team system. I found myself with 10 scenes, each with 5 nodes with the only difference being attribute values. Today, after applying inheritance I was able to significantly clean up the project. #GameDev #IndieDev

Added some camera effects to really bring out the depth of the stadium. Found out earlier that I needed to import my 3D assets uncompressed, or else everything looks completely off. Can't wait to continue dialing in the atmospheric elements. #Godot #IndieDev #GameDev #Football

Implemented a stadium into the game. While there are some scaling and texture issues, it's much nicer to see than a green plane. #Godot #GameDev #IndieDev #Football

My first attempt at creating route lines in #Godot. I have a scene for the specific Offensive play that has several Node3D nodes for each route-runner. Within those nodes I have a Path3D and CSGPolygon3D node that draws the route. Not sure if its efficient, but it's definitely a start! #GameDev

Implemented the Phantom Camera plugin into my #Godot project. I've set it to stay with the football. This also allowed me to start playing with different camera angles to dial in what I think will work best for this game. I ain't much but it's honest #GameDev #IndieDev #Football

I took a small break from #GameDev to work on improving my skills as a #WebDev. I didn't want to do the typical routine of using Flask or React, so I chose to use Go this time. It was my first time using and I had an absolute blast! There's still much to learn, but I'm excited 💪😎 chumba.dev

Started the process of making a functional field with yardage and a line of scrimmage. Not only that, formations are finally connected with the line of scrimmage for proper positioning between offense and defense. #IndieDev #GameDev #Football
