Wayward Thoughts Interactive

Current mood: Needs a magical launch scarf 🧣 Waking up on a Monday morning is always a struggle. I spent all weekend coding smooth planet launches in Starways, and now I just wish I could sling myself straight from my bed to my desk. Instead I'm walking. Like a sucker. #indiegame #gamingcommunity

Gravity works a little differently when your world fits in your backyard. Take a slow stroll with The Traveler and enjoy the view! 🌌 #indiegame #gamingcommunity #littleprince #fridayvibes

A very happy birthday to our good friend and longtime collaborator, Marc Dyen! Marc is the incredibly talented musician behind the soundtracks of our games in addition to being a visual artist in his own right! Check out his Unintentional Art on Instagram here: https://f.mtr.cool/wq8ms7fjl4

Music in Lyra is all about play! Help me write a short melody. Drop a 4 to 6 note sequence using the keys below (Do-Re-Mi) in the comments, and I will play my favorites live on stream! #indiegame  #gameplay #music #gamingcommunity #magical #books #game

To this day, I still love stargazing and I did my best to simplify using a telescope while still keeping it fun and interesting. The spyglass is your primary method of choosing a destination among the stars in Starways: Heart of the Cosmos. #indiedev #indiegame #ganedev

My dog Pixel is my main emotional support during dev sessions. We created Tala in Starways to give players that exact same feeling: a true safe space on a tiny planet where you can just pause and get kisses from a very good dog. #indiegame #gaming #bestfriend #dog

We're going live today at 5:00 PM Pacific Time with a Starways Live Draw! Come hang out with me as I attempt to draw things! https://www.twitch.tv/waywardthoughtsgames

Completely forgot #starwaystuesdays last week and almost was too sick for this week! I've been watching Bluey lately (it's adorable) to give me ideas for Starways and it's already working. It's also been very helpful in showing how to believably write dialogue for young kids. #indiegame #indiedev

Here's a #StarwaysTuesdays update you'll wag your tails over!  After much thought (okay, maybe not THAT much), I redesigned Tala to resemble her inspiration, my dog Pixel. You'll be able to interact with Tala in new and surprising ways as she grows to know and trust you. #indiedev #indiegame

It's Starways Tuesdays once more, and this week's a bit light. There's a lot of systems work going on right now and while they're not glamorous, you'll sure notice if they aren't there. Menus are now functional in Starways: Heart of the Cosmos. Try to contain your excitement. #indiegame #indiedev

It's Starways Tuesdays! ✨ What do all of these things have in common? They’re all things you can actually do in Starways: Heart of the Cosmos. No, you may not have context. #indiedev #indiegame  ⭐ Wishlist on Steam! https://store.steampowered.com/app/4644240/Starways_Heart_of_the_Cosmos/

For this week's #StarwaysTuesdays, we wanted to show the mechanics we implemented to make walking around planetoids feel as natural as possible in Starways: Heart of the Cosmos. The game now includes multiple camera and movement modes to customize your experience. #indiedev #indiegame

This #StarwaysTuesdays we can confirm that we're being published by Pixel Doors! We couldn't be more excited about this partnership and look forward to working together! Press Release: https://f.mtr.cool/g6sqqgybu5 #indiedev #indiegame

For this week's #StarwaysTuesdays here's my first sketch of one of the NPCs you'll meet on your interstellar journey: The Musician. A resident of the music-themed Lyra constellation, his story touches on the definition of success and the importance of creative freedom. #indiedev #indiegame

What do you actually do in #Starways? Identify constellations. Help friends remember songs. Fly paper airplanes. Travel between worlds. And that's only the beginning of the adventures waiting among the stars. #indiegame #indiedev #cozygames

In Starways: Heart of the Cosmos, you'll explore lots of planets of varying sizes across multiple constellations like this one in Boötes. #indiedev #indiegame #cozygames

Imagining something new... #indiedev #gamedev

Greetings from #GDC!

I don’t post things like this lightly, but I’ve set up a GoFundMe to help reduce financial pressure while I prepare for GDC. My employment situation changed recently, and this moment is a major professional milestone. Sharing helps just as much as donating. Thank you for believing in #indiedev 🎮👾

Regrettably, I called this. We will no longer be posting on the clock site, nor will we be posing on the ex-bird site. You can still find us on YouTube Shorts, Meta sites (for now), and right here on Bluesky.

Our QA team hard at work. #indiedev #gamedev
