A common prank among alchemists ;-) We implemented our first spell "Conjure Water" for our Alchemy Punk Base Building game! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Solo gamedevs: How much "CI" are you doing for yourselves?
I have a check that tests whether I ran linting/formatting/tests (locally) in the last 24 hours on PR merge so I am reminded of that from time to time. Curious what others do if anything.

Solo Devs little helpers: A powershell script that finds all lines with "TODO" I added/removed in my current branch, reminding me of things I may want to look into before merging. What little helper scripts make your developer lives easier? #gamedev #powershell #programming

The newly designed materials have now been added to the game and are ready to be dug up! 🙃

We're still busy mining away, working hard in the digital mines to create new materials. Everything is lovingly designed by hand so you can have fun digging it all up later 😊

Just a question for the developer /indies among you: Do you also work on your game on Sundays? When do you take a break?
For us, it's not always easy to find the right balance because we have so much fun developing. But breaks are also important...☕️

We have designed new materials for the alchemists to dig through in our base building game. 🖌️
At first, we used placeholders for the materials – these are now being gradually replaced with hand-designed materials.

Good morning!
Currently a lot of work goes into coding and figuring out answers to some algorithmic questions that are not easily presentable with screenshots. Time to fetch a tea and put on our thinking caps 🤓

"Schnaffel" (or call him "Sniffer") is our first creature in the game. 😊 First we sketched it on paper and then transferred it digitally.
The sketch came about by chance from a small scribble

Why we use Rust and Bevy for our game?
Why Rust?
We want to build a Colony Sim with lots of things going on.
This requires a lot of computation but we don’t want to ask you to buy a high-end machine for our game so it is important to have very efficient code.

This week we worked on building placement. It is important to see whether the building can be built on site or not...

Our character design starts at the kitchen table...
First we sketch our ideas in pencil and then implement them digitally. 🎨
