It was the stupid age verification. I hate that I have to use VPN just to access basic functionality.

Do I need to have a special account to add the new profile links?

Its already happening and its gettinh worse, IMO this latest next fest might be a turning point kotaku.com/devs-behind-...

its deeply upsetting that we've become so accustomed to giant tech platforms abandoning any kind of responsibility for moderation that people just default to strategies to protect themselves but valve makes BILLIONS from steam, they should be the ones protecting the products on their shopfront!

I've made 6 open-source @godotengine.org projects perfect for as a base for your first or next game. Completely human-made and easy to understand code & comments. All visuals and sounds included, CC0! kenney.nl/starter-kits

This gif is becoming increasingly relevant. It can be used in response to any news article without exaggeration.

Someone needs to tell vibe coders that there’s no money in games. 😢

Our one and only @birdmagician.com has created a new version of the Steam capsule art. The last version combines the original color palette and fogy atmosphere with the last capsule's detailed background. We're gradually getting to the atmosphere we wanted to capture. #Steam #Capsuleart #Gamedev

People say we need to share more Slumbering Woods content so here's some pie, mushrooms and moss. As well as friendly conversations with frogs at the campfire. #Indiegame #mushrooms #chill

A property developer releases the first home made of a pile of sticks and drinking straws, built in just 30 minutes by a flock of Artificial Pigeons.

I am so very sick after GCAP and #MIGW. 🤧 🤒 I hope everyone is okay.

Once again we are happy that we went with Godot. Unity keeps shooting itself in the feet, knees and even more vital organs.

☆YOUR GAME IS GOING TO DIE ONE DAY☆ I'm going to be having a yap about what that means and why you should care. If you're going to be in Sydney next Friday, come by and watch me masquerade as a professional amongst dozens of other incredible talks~ #EGTP #IndieDev

Thanks everyone who came to our booth at GCAP. It was great to have a chat and share Slumbering Woods with you. #MIGW #MIGW26 #GCAP

What do you mean sunrise is at 7am? WTH, Melbourne? 😭 #MIGW #Melbourne #Brisbane #indiegamedev

A few more mushroom photos that inspired the world of Slumbering Woods. We love finding strange shapes, colours, and textures in the wild and bringing them into the game. #indiegame #mushrooms #naturephotos #naturelovers

A short guide to the plants of Slumbering Woods. Part 1 - Woodeater mushroom, Softmoss and Bramblemoss.

When you’re still tired from yesterday’s tired. If life gives you a bug make a short. #indiegame #tired #tiredofbeingtired #slumberingwoods

Going into the woods and taking photos of fungi, lichens, mosses, and tiny hidden worlds is one of our little pleasures. Their shapes, colours, textures, and the way they transform their surroundings have all found their way into Slumbering Woods. #indiegame #naturelovers #mushrooms #lichen

We gave Slumbering Woods’ steam capsule art a little refresh! What do you think? #indiegames #capsuleart #steam

We’re trying to communicate how the different soil types work in the game and how they interact with each other. What could we add to make it more clear? #indiegamedev #cozygaming #mushroomlovers

Max Payne was using DLSS 5 before it was cool.

In Slumbering Woods Immerse yourself in calming nighttime nature sounds. #indiegame #cozygaming #naturesounds #relaxingsounds

Let’s add a bit of random rotation to the quest board messages. What could go wrong. #IndieGame #IndieGameDev #CozyGaming #SlumberingWoods

In Slumbering Woods, farming is always an experiment. You start with plain clay, cover it in soft moss, let stinky mushrooms take over... and before you know it, toxic spores take you out! How wild will your garden get? #indiegames #cozygaming #mushroommonday

Though we're based in Australia, our roots are Ukrainian. 🇺🇦 We’re proud that Slumbering Woods - our cozy-meets-mystery indie game - is participating in the Ukrainian Games Festival on Steam! Please check out the incredible lineup and support Ukrainian devs: @ukrainian.games #UGF2026 #IndieDev

The village restoration progress - before and after. Which look do you prefer? #CozyGamer #IndieGamedev #mushrooms

Testing improved jumping. I made the targeting more precise (0:8 - 0:12), and also experimented with jumping over gaps. It's essential to make mushrooms more useful in puzzles. Not sure about jumping between land areas. Would you expect to be able to jump between these islands? youtu.be/yHLk-6K6MFs

Happy to finally share that Slumbering Woods received a Games Grant from Screen Queensland! For our small team, this means we can focus on finishing the game without having to look for additional funding. Thanks to Screen Queensland for the support, and to everyone who's been following the project.

As we work on the next location for Slumbering Woods, we went on a reference-gathering adventure to Gero, Japan’s unexpectedly frog-themed onsen town! #indiegamedev #frogs #onsen #japan
