Sam Stubbings - DWARRF: A Pinball Roguelike

DWARRF is part of Steam's "Pins & Pegs Fest" which is great cuz the game is both a pinball game and a peg (pachinko) game. I've realised I never explained what this game actually is on bsky, so here a thread! Wishlisting / reposting etc is very appreciated :D store.steampowered.com/app/3634710

Does anyone use any (non-ai) automation to get emails from content creators yt/twitch pages, I'd really like to get my evenings back 😅

if ai is *so good* why is it still being sold at a loss?

~3 Days left & what fun it's been seeing the different strats to make number go big :D Current score to beat is 1757 - but some people are cooking, likely to change soon!

📖✨ Open your spellbooks and fire up your cauldrons! 🎃 #Spookyseason is coming! The #weirddays #Steam Festival is about to open its gates! Get ready to discover over 80 wonderfully weird indie games, inviting you to dive into a unique Warm & Dark universe! #WeirdDaysDarkTales #FollowFriday 👇

Anyone else thinking about moving away from Discord for their game/studio and towards something else - like a forum?

at least the gamers hate ai seemingly as much as we do

Day 1 down: 128 is the score to beat! (1 submission)

This is like discovering a new combination of ice cream flavours.

'Grab your balls and set sail on your 'pirate' minecart into the depths of the mines. Fight enemies in a unique blend of Pinball & Pachinko, with turn-based combat whilst collecting game altering balls, relics, & runes that ensure no two runs are alike.' store.steampowered.com/app/3634710/...

Psst, if you're checking out Steam Next Fest but you don't want to wade through all the slop, here's a handy browser extension: github.com/seeeeew/aiwa...

With Next Fest around the corner & with 8,000+ demos participating (with a high % slop), I think it's a good time to remind everyone that this exists. Help people find & determine human made games.

Hermit-dwarf-crab Gary has just gotten married! But he's all outta balls for his big day. > Give him one of your balls > Steal his starfish "wife" Yes, those are the only options. (Happy #WeirdDays)

"you can't avoid ai, it's in everything" *Looks at the 800 something game devs on my starter packs of devs that don't use AI* Yeah I think I'll be okay.

It's #WeirdTober time! An event by @weirddaysevent.bsky.social showcasing the fiendishly weird side to games on steam. I'll update this post as it goes with my top picks, but first - my game has been selected: DWARRF: A Pinball Roguelike

It's time for #WeirdTober ! Which means getting eaten by a mimic that looks like a dwarf and using pinball to blow up its heart is normal now? More fiendishly weird games taking part in: @weirddaysevent.bsky.social

Curious: is DWARRF on your personal calendar? (store.steampowered.com/personalcale...)

We encode our thoughts into words for others to decode back into thoughts. Aka (thought->words->thought) This already isn't perfect. Miscommunication happens all the time, especially online. So with: (thought->prompt->LLM->words->thought) You're going to lose so much, it'll always be slop.

yes!!!! ShipShaper is released into Early Access store.steampowered.com/app/4339280/... Do spend a 8.99 on the best boat builder ever!!! Also when does this horror of having to listen to my own voice end.!! Buy now so I can retreat into the shadows again!! #indiedev #indiegame

Can anyone recommend any localisation companies that are indie-budget friendly? (No ai)

We're excited to announce that applications are open for the Draknek New Voices Puzzle Grant 2026 🎉 The grant will award $15,000 to five thinky puzzle game developers from all over the world, and a year's mentorship with genre veterans. Deadline: September 27th More info 👇

To those who think the ball physics in DWARRF is too heavy: - In regular pinball, the ball is a ball bearing or something - In DWARRF, it’s a cannonball Checkmate.

One day i’ll listen and implement localisation at the *start* of a project…

Working on updates for Life Not Supported feels like gamedev on hardcore mode. The project only works on one machine, in one unity version, in one folder and I have no idea why. I just hope i can finish it before this laptop inevitably dies…
