Another little round of polish updates to Pelican. This wildcard juicing is one of my favourites - accompanying a harmless little risk/reward towards the start of the game that can become a devastating run-destroying gamble towards the end. #pelicanEmpyrean #indiegame

Pelican will be the 3rd game we’ve shipped. It’s interesting that even as a game without 3D environments and animated characters, it was almost as much work as our previous games - there’s a lot going on under the surface! #gamedev #indiedev

#afterLightFades started life as a Puzzlescript game around 2017. It was my first foray into sokobans and I loved how instantly experimental I could get with Puzzlescript. In that first 2 weeks I designed a ton of mechanics including advanced concepts like fire-spread and vine-growth. 🧵 #gamedev

Just finished UFO50s Mini and Max - wow! A master class in game design in such an unassuming package.

Joon Shining was my first commercial game - I made the classic #gamedev mistake of thinking it’d just be a quick 3 month project, and of course it turned into 2 years! No regrets though, I think it really takes you on an adventure that’s lush with magical vibes #indiegame

Getting back into UFO50 and once again, Derek Yu and his team’s game design chops just make my head spin!

One of our players on Steam pretty nicely summed up the After Light Fades experience as "slowly figuring out how to think for this game". It is a different way of thinking for sure, asking you to get lateral and synthesise a lot of disparate elements into a cohesive whole.

If you're looking for a deep challenge and some long-attention-span gaming (you've got a long attention span right? ;) grab out Joon Shining and After Light Fades together in the Impossible Odds bundle, on sale now store.steampowered.com/bundle/56789... #indiegame #steamsale

Isles of Sea and Sky is a very very good sokoban puzzle adventure. Check it out!

Joon Shining, our magical golf-like odyssey is 70% off on Steam. I chose the name Joon for the hero because I'm synaesthetic and I liked the purplish colour of the word, but I was pleased to discover it means "life" or "soul" in farsi! store.steampowered.com/app/1552600/... #indiegame #steamsale

The #afterLightFades level editor UI is a bit rough-and-ready, but it's surprisingly fluid to use. My main inspiration was Mario Maker 2 believe it or not, which I think is one of the most fun and conducive-to-creativity game editor tools I've ever used #gamedev #indiedev

After Light Fades’ development was a bit back-to-front. I made all the 100+ levels painstakingly by hand, and only after all that I made the level editor. It was intended just for players, but it worked so well that I went back and remade all the chapter 1 levels with it #gamedev #indiedev

Boring but necessary #gamedev day today - added controller support to #pelicanEmpyrean, thanks as always to Rewired for making it as painless as possible. It's live on the demo now if you want to try it out!

Check out this beautiful new piece for #pelicanEmpyrean by our artist Bella Field. It was going to be the end of game scene, but we both like it so much we want to make it the title screen instead #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

#pelicanEmpyrean has been mostly finished for a while now, but we’re doing a final polish and update on some of the illustrations. Check out the demo on Steam! #gamedev #indiedev

Instancing experiments #4 Added sky and sea. For the sea I made a disc-mesh that curves down at the edges for a nicely stylized "close horizon" #gamedev #indiedev

Instancing experiment #3. All the foliage is instanced and the grass squashes down when you walk on it. Bricks will be instanced next as each one is individual - the buildings have been hand-erased to get the ruined look #indiedev #gamedev

The next iteration of my GPU instancing experiments. Performance is still pretty great with this high density of full-3D grass. A large amount of trees and bushes perform decently to a point, but setting up imposters will be the next step #gamedev #indiedev

After 10 years of using Unity I've finally achieved the elusive thing a million other game devs have already done - "having a scene full of grass that runs well" (via GPU instancing). The crazy thing is, it's not that much setup but Unity doesn't show a clear path to get there #gamedev #indiedev
