Bringing something in gaming from concept to completion is an experience with many adjustments and lessons, small or large. Sometimes, it can be important to take a look back at where it started to where it ended. Here's a few of ours for display to all of you. 😰 #indiegamedev

No matter what stage of our careers, we never stop learning at Velan. Here are a few pearls of wisdom from Velanites from their time here. We'll add a motivational song playlist later.

Keep this a secret, but here's a peek behind the curtain of how an idea that didn't make it into Hot Wheels Rift Rally help create another idea that did. #indiegamedev #argames

Velan Studios will be 10 years old this year. We've been thinking about what we've built, what we've learned, and what we've become over a decade of developing games. Star Fox™ launching right before that milestone feels less like a coincidence and more like a reminder of why we started our studio.

Star Fox™ launches today on Nintendo Switch 2! Velan Studios developed this game and expanded the story in collaboration with Nintendo because Fox McCloud and his crew deserve nothing less. It’s out now. www.nintendo.com/store/produc... #StarFox #NintendoSwitch2

I’m so proud of the team at Velan Studios and our partnership with Nintendo.

Mina the Hollower is OUT NOW!🐭🕯️ After 6 years of development, our fright-filled action-adventure is finally in your hands. Whip foes, burrow beneath danger, uncover secrets, and descend into Tenebrous Isle today. Thank you for joining us on this journey. ⚔️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQZM...

Absolutely incredible, love my favorite engine being put in the spotlight it deserves

"Are indie games developing a gambling problem? We'll discuss this in our article by focusing in solely on recent examples that have slot facades while ignoring the entire history of mobile games made by actual gambling industry designers"

Layoffs at Launch: that's game dev.
