Steam NextFest is here and Meat Safari is ready for YOU to play. Ignore the 7999 slop games and come check out some top-quality indie-ness! Meat Safari's Demo is OUT! #NextFest #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

Final - 🔢 Numbers For the final part of our series, let's talk variety. Meat Safari has: 10 Drivers 14 Vehicles 7 Pets 24 abilities 10 world events 30+ ingredients 40+ orders 6 explorable areas 5 shops 27 unlockables 10 vehicle colors 7 upgradable car parts #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

Pt 13 - 🔧 Dealership & Mechanic Shops I want your vehicle to feel like your own. You can visit the Dealership to swap vehicles, tires, pets, and paint. Head to the Mechanic to upgrade your engine, cargo capacity, lights, and more. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

I recently had an opportunity to chat with the crew over at The Gamer Section about Meat Safari and GoblinRunt Games in general. Check out the interview in the comments! #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

Pt 12 - ✨ Magic Shops There are a number of shops in the game as well. The Light Magic Shop can respawn wildlife, spawn item boxes, and slow or rewind time. The Dark Magic Shop turns animal trophies into ingredients to keep your kitchen cooking! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

Pt 11 - 🚧 Barriers & Locks When you start or host a world, not all areas are opened up. Visit the Construction Site to remove barriers and locks, giving you access to new areas and places to explore. Choose what to open next to expand your teams hunting grounds! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

Pt 10 - 📍 Points of Interest The world is huge with a lot of areas to explore. Cook Points let you cook meat out in the wild in bulk, Filter Points clean your water, and the Mystery Cave holds a surprise for curious explorers. Exploration is super important to me. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

Devs, I learned today that neglecting onboarding makes for a poor demo experience. I have a tutorial but it's word-heavy and not everyone learns that way. Gotta guide the player! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

Pt 9 - 🚗 Loadout & Unlocks Pick your driver, vehicle, tires, and pet before heading out! Spend your hard-earned Meat Coins on new unlocks, customize your ride, and find your favorite combo for the next safari. Sound fun? Try the demo TODAY! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

Pt 8 - 📋 Safari Report How did your crew do? The Safari Report tallies your cash, wood, completed orders, and trophies into Meat Coins and a final rating. Bring home a bigger haul and aim for an S! Sound fun? Try the demo TODAY! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

Pt 7 - ⛽ Management An empty fuel tank, low health, or a bare stockpile can slow your safari! Keep your vehicle fueled, your driver healthy, and ingredients stocked to keep orders moving. There are many ways to exploit these systems but you didn't hear that from me! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

Pt 6 - 🌎 World Events Alien invasions, stampedes, and land sharks with lasers! World events bring fresh chaos to your safari. Two events are guaranteed to trigger during your game. Dodge danger, chase rare meat, and keep those orders moving! Try the demo! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

BioWare is closing. Steam Next Fest is flooded with low-effort AI games. It's a tough time to be a game developer. But real indie devs are still here. We're building games with passion, creativity, and years of hard work. Not all of us are slop-generators. #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

I'm one of those solo indie developers still pouring everything into making games. My latest game, Meat Safari, has a free demo available during Steam Next Fest. If you want to support a small developer, give it a try. Every wishlist helps! store.steampowered.com/app/5200400/

store.steampowered.comMeat Safari on SteamMeat Safari is a multiplayer open-world restaurant simulator! Hunt ingredients, cook meat, stack cargo, and race across Meat World solo or in 4-player online co-op. Choose your driver and vehicle, and...

Pt 5 - ⏱️ The Timer A single safari is always 45 minutes. You and your team will need to watch the clock as new orders arrive, old orders expire, and day turns to night. Keep gathering, cooking, and delivering before time runs out! Sound fun? Try the demo TODAY! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

Pt 4 - 📦 The Core Loop The core loop is super simple gather ingredients, drop them in the stockpile, cook and pack them into orders in the restaurant, send em out for a runner to deliver before it spoils! Sound fun? Try the demo TODAY! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

Steam NextFest is here and Meat Safari is ready for YOU to play. Ignore the 7999 slop games and come check out some top-quality indie-ness! Meat Safari's Demo is OUT! #NextFest #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

Pt 3 - 🤝 Roles There are three major roles in Meat Safari Harvesters gather ingredients and fill the stockpile. Expediters cook and package orders. Runners grab finished packages and race to a mailbox before they spoil! No role is formal. Play however you want! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

Pt 2 - 🍳 The Kitchen I know we've seen lots of footage for harvesting ingredients over the last few months, so let's talk cooking! In the restaurant you can combine and cook ingredients, add seasonings, and pack orders for delivery. Sound fun? Try the demo TODAY! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

Pt 1 - 🥩 Orders The overall goal of the game is to ship orders placed at the Burger Barn. To do so, you'll need to gather ingredients from the world, deposit them in the stockpile, cook them in the kitchen, package them up, and deliver them to the mail box in time! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

“Yeah but what the heck do you do in the game?” I’m glad you asked. Over the course of Steam NextFest, I’ll be running a set of posts detailing what the heck you do. If these sound fun to you, try the demo or even wishlist it! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #steam #steamnextfest #nextfest

ICYMI Bean Wizard is currently being featured on the Games tab of the iOS App Store! It's a silly bean game that's lots of casual fun! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #ios #mobilegaming
