In our game Star Birds, you build a space factory. Instead of using conveyor belts, you work with pipes that you can draw and connect organically.

We’ve literally turned into pipe engineers for our game, here are several iterations from first prototype to final game version #gamedev #indiegame

Hey Bluesky👋,

I am 3D animator in the film world, but my heart kept pulling me toward a small, very personal game idea.

So I started making a game where you draw your own fish -> you feed them, watch them grow & make friends, & maybe one day, one of them turns golden 🐟✨

This week, we’re clogging up craters! For our next update for Star Birds, we’re experimenting with a new mechanic that makes building inside craters a little trickier… Who—or what—is getting in your way?

In our game Star Birds, you build a space factory that is decentralized across many asteroids — large and small ones, all of them rich in resources.

We’ve literally made thousands of asteroids for Star Birds 😅 Here’s some assorted screenshots from prototypes to final versions #gamedev #indiegame

Star Birds Building Designs: Ice Crusher

Crush some ice to make lemonade in space! This building reheats the frozen surface to extract resources like Methane & Water. Originally the design was inspired by another refreshment: Can you still spot the shape of a coffee grinder?

Star Birds Building Designs: Component Lab

This building design was inspired by real-world robots in semiconductor and car factories. In-game, it is your central building to produce Circuit Boards and Conductors.

Star Birds Building Designs: Crucible

We love tea! So naturally when thinking of a design for a building that heats things, we thought of a happy teapot, cheers! In-game, this is your building to produce Ceramic & Strong Alloy.

We want to share our design process, stay tuned.
