The OG. I hand copied the entire game manual in Y4 for this for some reason. I was obsessed. Thought it was the best thing since sliced Vorticon #retro #games #PC

Nice to be able to update some steam screenshots. Little bits of polish over time. The rain animation is nice but a little lost when static. #IndieGames #GameDev #UK

Escape from 8 bit high is out! It's great so far. I've played about 2 hours and the puzzles are absolutely hitting the sweet spot. Very well done. And that's no easy thing! #pointandclick #IndieGames Here are some of the cameos!

Who are these cool dudes?

Did you know that we have some super-star-dev cameos in Escape from 8-Bit High? @gugames.eu / @richbrown.uk Check their games, they're amazing! But also come and see their cameos in: store.steampowered.com/app/2761220/... #indiedevs #indiegames

Knobbiton. Brownie's home. His mysterious Dutch roommate plays prog metal 24/7. Comes with fridge and vomrat colony! #GameDev #IndieGames #UK

For #ScreenshotSaturday I present the 'Bovriccino' machine that produces a mix of foamed hot meat and ground coffee beans with camel milk. #IndieGames #PC #Pointandclick

"Magic drinks that make you slur... portals into Derbyshire" Not even sure what to do with this. Was just experimenting with a new DAW. Accidentally dropped a point and click banger. #Game #Music #Pointandclick #Retro #IndieGames

Idea #1: A point and click (obviously) where you stumble in blurred visuals back from the pub across some scenery and then take a wrong turn and discover a world of tiny gnomes that live underground. As you progress you sober up and it gets darker...

This is how serious #Trump is taken in the UK. Found in Scarborough in a cheap seaside arcade. I assume a hand comes out and grabs you. It was next to the Peppa pig car too. His demographic.

Made a random noughties punk song to test out the new DAW. Tried adding some 80s lead over the orchestral theme for my game... did not sound good. Pretty proud of this cheeky little jam though! #Music #GameDev #IndieGames

Anyone else getting loads of AI chat bots asking to find out about your games? Really awkward when you realise. Preying on politeness I feel. 90% on discord. At what point do you realise, stop and say 'im done'? #GameDev #AI #Discord

Like this. It has a repetitive cadence to it. Positive comment, expansion on understanding (almost like active listening) and then a question. Ad infinitum. This happened while I was at bastard Lidl

Pulled some proper David Attenborough shenanigans yesterday. Beautiful river picnic without children. Just what I needed. Beer on a string in the river to keep it cool. And no we left no trace of us being there other than a mildly confused sheep.

I’m making a point & click comedy adventure set in a fantasy world / the Peak District. The puzzles & story are done — just a few songs left for me to write and check, while sound designer Jono Richards is working on the ambience/sound design #GameDev #IndieGames #PointAndClick

This plasma breathing swan was the idea of a player of the first game who won a 'treasure hunt' contest in a steam update. She is called 'Bitch Swan'. Now she has lots of wonderful plasmatic sound and animations. Not to be messed with. Nice to involve the players in #GameDev #IndieGames

A 24 hour Shrubbery. All day, all night. If you need a potted plant? Sorted. It's 3am and you're gardening, where else is there to go? This guy know business. #GameDev

If you think you've had a bad day. Just think of this snail on my bin who, against all the odds, got shit on by a bird. A bird. His arch nemesis. Imagine a lion taking a shit on a gazelle. Such a demeaning power move. #Nature #Thursdays

It may be grim, but you think of these things when you have kids. I wrote a song for my daughter about being bold, strong and sceptical. Gods forbid, if I die tomorrow, at least I'll have a digital storefront preserving a message to my child. Genuine thought, sounds like a 1980s sci fi film.

Few nights camping in the #Derbyshire peaks. Found this big fenced off hole in the ground after following some very old (industrial) train tracks up a hill in the middle of nowhere. Narrow gauge. Would be for small mining trains like the ones round where I grew up. Everyone got nettled and mad at me

After a lot of head scratching following a dug out channel we finally found this. The angle lined up with the ditch that ran all the way down the hill and into the valley. Probably been sat there for 100/150 years.

After nearly 2.5 years, my first game just hit 20 Steam reviews. 19 positive. 🥹 Best feeling in the world. People I've never met played and enjoyed this crazy project I built while learning game development from scratch. Today was the day!!! #gamedev #indiedev #Steam

So er… apparently the demo is live 😅 It’s a brutally difficult little physics lander game where you pilot a very unstable capsule and try not to immediately crater into the moon. Free demo’s up if you want to suffer productively. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #physicsgame

The room ambience is layered from Jono’s incredible soundscape work, and the music is my own Irish bouzouki recordings. Amazing how much audio can completely transform a space. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #gameaudio #sounddesign #ambient

Still got it #Besiege - The hot air balloon is a LOT easier than manually creating an attack helicopter gunship with balanced COM/Ballast and weight but... I did enjoy it the hour of nerdy tinkering. Still a great game!

There's nothing I love more than writing silly songs for #IndieGames "I came here from the steel city to a pub that wor' a bank the art styles very amateur and the animations wank" #Inspired

When you're the artist of a game and you have a habit of using every colour imaginable even in 320x200... It's always cool to see it on different monitors and devices. My monitor is from Temu so.. pretty much everything looks better. No regrets though. Ultra wide is a workflow dream.
