Duel - my new game - is out! It's a short minimalist color-based fighting game. It's small and simple, but I'm happy with the result and I hope you enjoy it! 👾 Play Duel for free here 🎮 niconico78.itch.io/duel #indiegame #indiedev #gamedevs #itchio #gaming #pixelart

Hold on! I have an idea for a game, and I think it's pretty cool! Should I..? 👀 #solodev #gamedev #indiedev #indegame

Didn't do much technically today, but I scraped every mechanic that I thought didn't bring anything to the game and now, the gameplay loop is cleaner, simpler and... well, better. Subtractive design is actually so nice! #solodev #gamedev #indiedev #indegame

Back. At. It. #pixelart #solodev #gamedev #indiedev #indegame

Been very busy in life and haven't been able to work on Heroic for the last 3 months. I'm feeling kinda bad about it, but I haven't lost my motivation 💪 So... I guess I just have to get back to it now! Keep on keeping on 👍 #solodev #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Going down 👀 #pixelart #solodev #gamedev #indiedev #indegame

Some forgotten relics you may find during your descent #pixelart #solodev #gamedev #indiedev #indegame

Sometimes, you have to take a step back to move forward ... ... Yeah, it's just a fancy way to say that I've decided to scrap a game mechanic for a new one that I like better 🫣 #solodev #gamedev #indiedev #indegame

The heroes of Heroic. I wanted to have their portraits being inspired by the work of Mike Mignola. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out and it actually fits really well with the pixel art of the rest of the game! 👀 #pixelart #solodev #gamedev #indiedev #indegame

Ah, here we go again... There's a photo mode in Cairn (by @thegamebakers.com ) 👀 #VirtualPhotography

January is a pretty weird month so far, but today, I had an idea for a game that I think is actually pretty good! Figured out the game design and basically just have to flesh it out a little, but overall, it's all there 🙌 #pixelart #solodev #gamedev #indiedev #indegame

I now have a little water system! You can swim on the surface, dive down, swim underwater in every direction and dive up, all that with some nice water ripples 🌊 #pixelart #solodev #gamedev #indiedev #indegame

Feeling a bit unmotivated working on Heroic so I'm prototyping for The Innermost Sea instead 👀 #pixelart #solodev #gamedev #indiedev #indegame

A game that I can really gush about? Bioforge I struggled launching it on my computer back in 95 (we had to make a boot disk with my father. Good memories!), played it more than I can count and still love it to this day. And now I discover this amazing project and it makes me so happy 😍

While making Heroic, I'm also casually working on another game called The Innermost Sea. It's gonna be a metroidvania but I hope it will be a bit different from what you can expect 👀 #pixelart #solodev #gamedev #indiedev #indegame

It's always a good time to remember that The Last Guardian is a tremendously bold game and Trico is one hell of a technical achievement in video game history. Can't wait to see what Fumito Ueda and all the folks at genDesign are cooking!

All these numbers tell me that my combat system works, and that makes me feel very pog indeed 😎 #pixelart #solodev #gamedev #indiedev #indegame

Pretty happy with how it turned out 😎 #pixelart #solodev #gamedev #indiedev #indegame

Didn't post in a while BUT I've been working on the game and actually coded a new mechanic. Surprisingly enough, it seems to work as intended 👀 Also reworked the UI and I'm much happier with it now. Still need work, though. Also... Silksong 🫣 #solodev #gamedev #indiedev #indegame

If you see this, post something monochromatic! Maybe I'll come back to this style in a future project, who knows?

Now I have to choose... 🫣 #pixelart #solodev #gamedev #indiedev #indegame

Mmmh... I don't really know which one I like better? I like the menacing feel of one, but also the more bizarre look of the other... Also... Yeah, it might be the first boss of the game 👀 #pixelart #solodev #gamedev #indiedev #indegame

Last update... maybe? 👀 #pixelart #indiedev #solodev #indiegame

Added some foreground elements while also trying to play with pixel size to convey a feeling of depth. I think it's not that bad ^^ #pixelart #indidev #solodev #indiegame

Hey, it's not that bad! 😁 I'm still trying to figure out the overall look of it, but I want to go for something miniamlist. I feel good about this for now ^^ #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #indiegame

My creative process is pretty consistent: - postpone starting because I'm nervous it'll be bad - look at tens of references - start - it is actually bad - throw everything away - take a break for a day or two - come back to it - start again - hey, it's not that bad! Every. Time. #pixelart #gamedev

Didn't have time to work on Heroic for a few weeks, so I was feeling a bit down about it. So I decided to launch the game and... was actually quite happy with what's going on so far ^^ Can't wait to come back to it! Keep on keeping on 👍 #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev #solodev #indiegame #itchio

Hey, I actually like the mood I'm going for! (Sorry for the mouse pointer, it won't be in the game... hopefully 🥵) youtu.be/C6rlivw70KM #videogamemusic #music #composer #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev #solodev #indiegame

Just chillin' 😎 #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev #solodev #indiegame

Cooking some music! 🎧 #videogamemusic #music #composer #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev #solodev #indiegame

Ok, now hear me out... There's a good chance the RNG I coded for my game is working as intended 👀 #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev #solodev #indiegame

"Passage" de @mistermv.fr me ramène toujours à des moments passés que je chéris de tout mon coeur. Aucun regret ni aucune tristesse, juste la joie de les avoir vécus et la nostalgie de les avoir laissés derrière moi 🥲 Le temps avance, nous devons avancer avec lui.

I'm at that strange point where my game mechanic is "almost" working properly but is still "not really" working and is doing something that it shouldn't possibly be doing 🤷 #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev #solodev #indiegame

ATTENTION INDIEDEVS Show off your art style

Just my humble opinion, but you should REALLY play this game!

Me: I've coded this system, let's see if it works for this character? Game: It works, mate. Me: Cool! Let's copy this to the other 3 characters. Game: What if it works for another one and, for the others, it's completely broken and I don't tell you why? 😭 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #indiegame

Ok, got a pretty basic gameplay loop set up. Still have a lot of things to work on, but it's a start ✌️ #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev #solodev #indiegame

Finished Bloodborne once again. It's been something like 6 years since I last played it and I was thinking that maybe it aged a bit, but no, it's still a bloody gem of a game and one that I truly admire for (amongst many other things) its ability to restrain itself for coherence's sake. Majestic

You know when you try to do something with your game, and you spend a day on it trying to figure out how to do it, and then you come back the next day and do it in 5 minutes and it was crazy easy? Yeah... 🫣 #indidev #gamedev

Alright, started working on Heroic! It's gonna be RNG heavy, I have something in mind that I want to try. We'll see how it goes. Also, this time, I'll make a small prototype first 🫣 But I know I'll have to make some art. I can't work with only colored boxes. #indidev #gamedev #pixelart #indiegame

Oh no, there's a photo mode in The Callisto Protocol! 🫣 More here: www.deviantart.com/nicolasjean/... #virtualphotography

I think my dream game is going to take a very long time to do, so I'll try to squeeze a few smaller games in between. Next up will be Heroic, hopefully! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #IndieGameDev #pixelart #gaming

I was so inspired by this that an idea for a game just popped in my mind and I believe this is what we commonly refer to as « my dream game ». Very different from what I envisioned, but feels like an evidence. You don’t always find ideas, sometimes, they find you. #indiedev #gamedev

Oh my! youtu.be/gJHXe_9uhxw?...

Hello world! My first game, Amassona, is available on itch.io 🎉🥳 It’s a very short #pixelart story-driven atmospheric horror #indiegame I’m very happy to share it and I hope you enjoy it 🙌 niconico78.itch.io/amassona
