None can question Omega Global's dedication to the environment, not with such an efficient incenerator installed!

In A Corporate Machine you play as Sanitron TC-84, the world's most overqualified robot vacuum cleaner.
Unseen and underappreciated, but also free to shake things up!

The environment in our game, A Corporate Machine, is inspired by tech and interior decoration from the 70s to the 90s. But with more advanced capabilities like wireless communication protocols and one heck of a smart robot vacuum cleaner. #indiegame #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #blender #godot

We’re experimenting with different ways for our little vacuum cleaner robot to interact with the office workers. Unionize today for table tennis breaks!

We're doing thumbnail sketches to capture the tone of the narrative in A Corporate Machine. They're also perfect fodder when developing the look of the game #indiegame #gamedev #blender #screenshotsaturday

This is some of the most succinct takes we’ve ever read! Everything here aligns 💯 with our experience, and it is definitely how we’ll try to run our own studio.
I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

We're kicking off 2026 with some more tweaks on the demo, and getting a head start on a more polished future version by working on a template rig for the human NPCs in our game A Corporate Machine #screenshotsaturday #Blender #indiegame #gamedev #acorporatemachine

For this #screenshotsaturday, we’re going back in time some months to share a silly trial render from when we were exploring the look of the office dwellers in A Corporate Machine.
We’ve since ditched the thumb-shaped heads… but the overall look and feel is still there #gamedev #indiegame #blender

Got any fun ideas for office people? We've started concepting all sorts of fun little guys that you might encounter in A Corporate Machine. Would love to hear people's ideas, or examples of interesting folks you've worked with at your own jobs! #indiedev #conceptart #gamedev

Some progression on the look-development environment for A Corporate Machine. Lots of pipeline work done to make asset creation in #blender easier and exporting to #godot smoother #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

We had a fun time showing off A Corporate Machine at a #gamedev pub, hosted by @swedengamearena.bsky.social. It’s an uncontrolled environment, and getting lots of hands on it when it’s early and rough really lets you see what the biggest hurdles are for players to get in to the loop. #Indeigame

Last week I started work on a template rig as part look development and preprod for our game A Corporate Machine. Got stuck trying to get the mouth as easy to pose as I was imagining it. After a weekend of scratching that itch I think I got it where it should be #blender #godot #gamedev #indiegame
