I'm Mahsa(Deli:): a designer and CG artist. I enjoy using tools like pens and softwars.They help me bring my ideas to life.
Big problem: In the first 5 minutes, players don’t realize the main goal of bringing water to the Sarv-e Abarkuh. They only get it after a puzzle!
How can I show this right from the start through gameplay? 🌱

Game dev takes time.
I looped Sword of the Sea’s music for days,an awesome experience on its own!
It made me think:
Mahsa… how should people experience Sarv-e Abarkuh?
How will you share it with the world?

One of the core mechanics in our game is the water system
We’re testing different techniques to see which one works best. It's still in progress but flowing forward. 🌱👾

Spent today just thinking about puzzles.
Do you prefer games that clearly show the path to the solution…
or ones that let you wander until it finally clicks?

The root system is alive now 🌱
Still young, still messy, but growing, just like the game.
Mistakes? Plenty. But for this stage, it feels enough. Isn't it? 👾

I remember, right before a competition, one of our teammates burned out.
The coach said: “Two days, no training, no even thinking about the sport. Then come back.”
Two days later, they returned… with more hunger and focus.
I think I need that too 🫡

I’ve built several alternatives for the tree roots so far, and none of them feel quite right.
I’m starting to get why some directors shoot a scene over and over…
Like Chaplin did 342 takes for just one scene. 342!!!

Did you know Da Vinci used 30 to 40 layers of paint and technique to create Mona Lisa’s smile?
Layer by layer just to bring it to life.
These days, as I build my game, I keep thinking about layers, too.
The base is there. But I just hope life lets me add the ones still living in my head.

Making a game feels like alchemy.
A little design, a bit of art, a drop of sound…
Mix them right, and maybe just maybe you get a beautiful "experience."
We’re still mixing.👾🧪

While the systems come together, the art of Sarv-e Abarkuh is slowly taking shape, too.
Game development is like alchemy tiny parts, step by step, and come together to craft something beautiful.👾

Simple things… Who knows what they can become?
Like a pawn in chess,powerless at first,
but step by step, it grows.
And one day, "if" it reaches far enough,
it can become almost anything.
In my game, this is my pawn.

The core game loop is built... but something still feels missing.
That one thing that makes you say:
“This is an indie game you just have to experience!”
What is it? I don’t know yet…
But I do know something’s missing :)))

Somewhere along the way, after working with talented teammates, I faced a tough decision:
Should the project end? Or should it keep going, even if it means walking the road alone?
Since March, I’ve been a solo developer.

Sometimes, cleaning up a system matters more than adding features.
It doesn’t need to be complex or “big.” Just needs to be "right. "
The first messy Blueprint dropped FPS from 60 to 40!
The new one? Same visuals, not a single frame lost.
Just clean logic.

In this suffocating heat,
working on the water channels of the Sarv-e Abarkuh project somehow makes the heat feel more bearable.
It’s like, with every path I build for the water,
•I breathe a little easier, too.
