It’s almost time to get sliding, with @trollymog.bsky.social!

Grab a snack, a cool drink and get ready for some #slidinghero

Join me in one hour (7-10pm EST) for Sliding Hero, an ice-physics sokoban metroidvania! I love metroidvanias, but ice physics make me so salty. We'll see if I can handle it.

And to kick off 2026, here's my 9th starter pack for games and studios to follow!

I've been curating games and studios since I joined this site to try and help push devs and studios to promote their games more here so RTs are appreciated!

Find the rest of my packs on my profile.

We'll be checking out Sliding Hero later tonight, a top-down puzzle Metroidvania where movement is key. Can I also say that the portraits are exquisitely drawn!

Thanks to @silentchicken.bsky.social for the key!

Catch you at twitch.tv/galmuth at 8pm SGT / 7am EST ~

Down below the Villa lie the Catacombs, a daedalus of bones, caskets and corpses. Something deadly lurks in there...

The Camposanto, a place that rather than honouring the dead, exalts the destruction of the living.

Between graveyards, desecrated churches and mausoleums, Luca's fate will unveil itself.

The Greenhouse is a vibrant place filled with beautiful plants and deadly creatures.

Will you be able to help Luca traverse it and uncover its mysteries?

Fellow #gamedev, #indiegames enthusiasts and #gamers, I need your help in finding a way to solve this stressful situation.

Any tips or suggestion could do.

@partner.steamgames.com contact suport is MIA, and is not responding at my tickets. I just want to know if I have to move the release date.
So, Sliding Hero's set to release on Thursday on @steampowered.com, just a couple of days away.

Although I may miss the date: the game is still under @partner.steamgames.com terrible review system.

Steam is great from a consumer pov, not so much for a #gamedev.

Fellow #gamedevs, what is your go-to music to concentrate while working on your #indiegames?

I'm currently rotating between Synthwave mixes, Relaxing SNES Music (how come Waterworld OST is full of bangers?), JRPG relaxing music and 90's Indie/Rock collections 🤘

So, what keeps you devving?
