Here we are! I teased it for weeks, I'm proud to announce my next game Steam Page is now live!

🚂Logistik is a train and railway management game: store.steampowered.com/app/3928180/...

Demo and playtests are coming soon!

#solodev #indiegamedev #majorupdate #trains #indiedev
Progress on that gamedev journey on Logistik!

I'm done with the tons of refactoring needed and some graphics. I'm soon done with the basics of this map editor. There won't be any way to save the map, but I don't mind, I just want to draw so I can have cool screenshots atm :)

Tuesday has been a public holiday here so I've been able to do bits of gamedev, but not 100% of what I needed for the screenshots.

I thought I could finish yesterday evening but ... a big release during my dayjob kinda exhausted me, so I've done nothing on the game eventually, but maybe tonight?
Alright, once I updated my Steam page with the new and shiny maps backgrounds (I need to progress on this part of the game), I must start some new ways of doing marketing.

Because 78 outstanding wishlists in 40 days is cool ... but nowhere close to the objective 😅

Yes I'm a fanboy ... but I'm so freaking hyped!
I'm probably going to be an early client, I loved Valve Index and Steam Deck. Valve made good hardware for a few years now :)
Announcing: New @steampowered.com Hardware, coming in 2026:

Steam Controller
Steam Machine
Steam Frame. 

Watch our jazzy announcement video and wishlist now: steampowered.com/hardware
Steam Hardware
The Steam Hardware family officially expands in early 2026.

This has finally motivated me to review Extortion and Alchemistry's price for Poland.

So be happy, polish peeps, my games went from zł22.99 to zł17.99 :) (So down from ~5.4€ to 4.25€, for a 4.99€/4.99$ game)

I miss the moment when, with a 10€ Netflix sub, I could watch all I wanted.
Now, even with the 3 different subscriptions included in my home internet (Netflix, Prime, Disney+), I can't have the movies and series I want to rewatch ... No, I won't buy a digital version, if I buy, that's gonna be a DVD

Forgot to share a #wishlistwednesday yesterday!
On Logistik, I was working on the map background items and the first results aren't looking bad at all!

Next step is probably a full-fledged in-game map editor for me and the community :)

I just produced a timeline of the time spent per month, since 2020, for gamedev. I didn't expect it to look that cool 😅

🧵 1/16 - Monthly summary #34, October 2025

Good morning! October has been a "small month" with 35h spent on my projects... And yet, lots of things to talk about. This month: Extortion 5th anniversary, some fun bug, the community is lovely, and of course, you know me, STATS!

5 years of sales as a Steam Developer

It started as a joke from my parents 2 or 3 years ago, but I now have a passion for unicorn

So I have a whole shelf full of them in my dining room, along with my books, and I love this quirk of mine 😂

The 5th anniversary update + 2 week sale + Ada Lovelace sale sold more than 200 copies, which is more than the rest of 2025!

Even though that was less than 2024 because Ada lovelace didn't have a daily deal, that's cool I'm able to reach that much players after 5yr :)

That's it!
Extortion is -65% off for the next two weeks and you can get both my released games for less than the full price of one with the bundle!

(And Ada lovelace sale should show up soon on Steam!)

Some stats, the future of the game, tomorrow's discount, and of course an update 😁

I really want to switch to Linux but there's no way I can do that seriously soon

I've just spent *hours* to make one soft work, found major issues in multiple ones, including freerdp and KDE
And I'm on a stable flavor ...

It doesn't brick anymore when updating, but it's far from w11 stability :/
October 29, 2025 at 7:34 AM
Hey, it's still a thing for a few days 👀

Also, yesterday it has another bunch of QoL/bugfixes!

If I didn't have stats about everything, I couldn't know I finally reached my objective of having an average of 8 hours of sleep per day.
Not like I was trying for years and was (almost) always under ... 😅

(Yes, I love stats and datamining)

That time when you're at the end of 5 days of being sick AND at the same time you have a very productive/satisfying day at work!

Yes, I'm very energetic this afternoon 😁
(I should use this energy for gamedev asap ahah)

Good afternoon!

Here we are for another monthly summary, this month: A new game, Silksong breaking my leaderboard, stats as usual, and more!

6 days ago, this account went 2 years old! What a journey. I would have never expected to reach 2k followers (actually, I would already have been happy if I reached 200 😆)

Also, this is my 700th post, which is a lot! That means an average of almost one per day! (Okay, monthly summaries help a bit)
October 17, 2025 at 8:36 AM
If I had that every day of the year, I'd be a freaking happy gamedev 😅
Events are so cool to bring some visibility to games :)
