Podunk Games

Our first game showcase!! Here’s a mini post mortem on it! 🥳 #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #roguelike

There are two wolves inside you

Love me a tuxedo cat that never learned to dress himself

Walked into my office this morning and Podunk Games HR was waiting for me… and he looks concerned. It’s been real, folks 😭✌️

I’d be a game developer. I am, but like so many of us, getting it to pay the bills is a distant goal that’s hardly worth thinking about until it’s here. 😅 So uhh wishlist Mountains & Molehills

Da mole when picnic mouse gives the same gameplay tip two interactions in a row

super duper fun day at the library! felt pretty nerdy ngl but it was a great game showcase!! today we learned that even artists (me) can make builds of the game! however (to my chagrin) it had bugs ＿|￣|○ #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

We’re here!! Come play our games today at the Worcester Public Library until 5pm!

Shaders aren’t final (we’re pivoting to a simpler approach for those) but the enchantment system is coming along nicely! For now, relics you collect will have a 1-in-3 chance of being enchanted, and a 1-in-8 chance of getting a second enchant. It’ll end up being much rarer once NPCs can offer it 😊

Signal boost. This is just theft. Calling opt-out-by-default “consensual” doesn’t magically make it NOT blatant theft.

Lot of interactions on here recently 😅 uhhh wishlist Mountains & Molehills please 😇

This looks awesome and gives more artists an escape from both the AI and Adobe nightmares. ❤️ love to see it.

That’s a wrap! 🥰♥️ Mole (pictured here) had a great time playing Mountains & Molehills at @bostonfig.bsky.social! In fact, Mole wishlisted the game on Steam and now we’re up to 94 wishlists!!! Thank you to the Boston FIG volunteers for a fun convention. #indiegame #roguelike #gamedev

I always knew I was meant to use a computer the way my joints are double clicking 🫨

WE’RE HERE! Come see our game at Boston FIG!

We’re going to the Boston Festival of Indie Games tomorrow! Come play our silly game where you throw rocks and dirt at your enemies!!!! #indiegame #indiedev @bostonfig.bsky.social I totally 100% did not accidentally upload the wrong year haha

POV: Your mole has a cute ita bag for their trinkets 🤓♥️ かわいい! #indiegame #deckbuilder

Thank you so much to our community partners, who uplift and empower important voices! Visit them in our Community Partners Area at the Festival! #BostonFIG #indiegames #gamedev #tabletopgames #boardgames

Extremely ambitious feature-list we chased for our #BFIG2026 build of Mountains & Molehills. Since we initially applied, there’s near-zero assets untouched, including ALL NPCs getting full puppet-animated redesigns. With BFIG now only one more day away, I can’t believe how much we got done. 😭❤️

There's even more video games to play! Check out all of these games at the Digital Showcase at BostonFIG on Saturday! Mimic Meadows Monsterpiece! Mountains & Molehills nudge Perilous Pairs Stitchlings WaxHeart #BostonFIG #indiegames #gamedev #indiegamedev #videogames

Another “proud of myself” update from today: Art team asked for a way to produce high quality, transparent images of characters mid-animation. So now if dev-cheats are enabled, there’s a menu on the pause screen to make them! Supports zoom, pan, & mirror. Great for button making. ~200 lines of code.

Wicked cool updates! We’re going to Boston! 🤩 #BostonFIG #indiegame #roguelike @bostonfig.bsky.social

Know before you go: BostonFIG is THIS SATURDAY at 10am! At the @bostonarts.org Cyclorama, 539 Tremont St. Nearest T stops: Back Bay (Orange) and Tufts Medical Center (Orange), plus Silver Line along Washington St. (Parking is available but limited!) Tickets at the door or at bostonfig.com.

Pretty proud of the way I built the new settings menu for Mountains & Molehills. The way the settings page saves and updates makes it pretty easy for the rest of the game to alter itself around the settings. I’m using it now to implement a “reduced motion” mode for accessibility

You’d think that FREQUENTLY mentioning that we are an ZERO-AI studio would be a big enough hint, but never underestimate how dense tech grifters can be. 🙄 Silly me missing out on $5000 in slop store credit though

I truly love the ambitious push to better your game when you have a live showcase coming up, but I gotta say I never realized how difficult it is to regularly market online during that crunch period for a small studio. I want to make videos and posts but I also have 10,000 lines of code to write 🫨

Suggestion for fellow game devs: If you plan on making your own sounds, consider getting a Zoom H1 handy recorder. It’s probably the best possible quality-to-price ratio mic you can get for sound effects. #NotSponsored lol

Looks like my invite to slop&theft-con finally arrived. 🙄 Podunk Games is a strictly zero-ai studio, and that isn’t changing.

I was messing around with shaders for the revamped Picnic Mouse shop and accidentally made the mouse ace.

This is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life

Cards?! In our #deckbuilding #roguelike?! 🤔🤔 It’s more likely than you think!

As our project gets bigger and bigger, we’ve added custom icons and tooling! Here’s a mini tutorial on how to add custom editor icons to nodes in #Godot! #gamedev #gamedesign #indiegame #indiedev

Doing some more live #gamedev! Come hang out! www.youtube.com/live/v2RFR6s...
