PROT by Chris

What's this?! It's only the new PROT trailer video. youtu.be/5IzWCFk4nMs #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #robots #prot

Going to ask @mindthunk.bsky.social if he'll stick this into CAE as a little PROT advert/easter egg. May be too much faff. But anyway! You will see a playable minigame version in the full game of PROT: Demo out! store.steampowered.com/app/2939200/... #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev

www.linkedin.com/posts/mashas... Great feedback yesterday at The Game Dev Group in Leamington. I really enjoyed watching people playing and enjoying PROT. There were moments of hilarity when the weevils stole the first key they fabricated. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev

What if Wall-E and Lost in Space had a baby and that baby was a charming sandbox metroidvania! #pitchyagame PROT Demo out now on Steam #gamedev #indiedev #blender #prot #robots store.steampowered.com/app/2939200/...

Some early adopters slightly confused so started to make a few things more explicit! Sort of goes against what I wanted to do! :-) store.steampowered.com/app/2939200/...

I built the PROT ui to work in any aspect ratio but it does work rather well with a super wide monitor! Download and play the demo! #indiedev #gamedev #blender #screenshotsaturday store.steampowered.com/app/2939200/...

There comes a point in every solo indie developer's life where he starts to treat the person that wrote the code 2 years ago with the suspicion usually reserved for OTHER people: How much do I trust 2024 Chris? #gamedev #indiedev #prot

PROT demo is public, and the button is easy to find now :-) store.steampowered.com/app/2939200/... #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #unity3d #blender

store.steampowered.com/app/2939200/... #gamedev #indiedev #blender3d #robots #unity3d #steam PUBLIC DEMO OF PROT NOW AVAILABLE - Give it a go and let me know what you think? Also a few have found the demo button hard to find - and I think it IS a bit subtle: here Steam, I fixed it for you:

PROT demo, IT REALLY IS COMING. REALLY SOON store.steampowered.com/app/2939200/... #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev thanks @mindthegaap.bsky.social for some Steam tips....

Started work on (hopefully) better promotion video for PROT (opening shot). #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #unity3d #blender #prot #robot

Also in my slightly Autodesk are pains and Blender is amazing rant: when have you seen this: the most recent version is SMALLER. So effing cool #blender #gamedev #indiedev

Started to put together some tools to record video etc. Still taking ages to get good video footage. And get sidetracked by "nice" screenshots: #prot #gamedev #unity3d

In PROT you can assemble as many Bunnies as your heart desires. You won't "need" this many though. store.steampowered.com/app/2939200/... #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev

Rescuing the hibernating family members is your purpose in PROT, but it's also optional! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #steam #gamedev Follow! Demo really (honestly, genuinely) is going to be out soon. Just as soon as I finish messing with the UI! store.steampowered.com/app/2939200/...

Be one of the first to play the game people are calling a cross between Wall-E and Lost in Space. PROT demo out any minute (don't take that completely literally). Follow/Wishlist!!!! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #wall-e #lostinspace #prot store.steampowered.com/app/2939200/...

Heads up - usually after I put out this call I've had 200 emails already. This time, so far, it's just a handful! While the grown ups at Kotaku are all off distracted thanking turkeys or whatever it is they do, I wanna promote as many unknown indies as I can!

Hello indies! It's almost Thanksgaming 2025! If you have an unknown indie project in dev or just released, please could you email me at jwalker@kotaku.com with the subject "THANKSGAMING 2025", and a store page and YouTube link? I'll put as many as I can on Kotaku. Rules next. Reposts appreciated!
