For today's #screenshotsaturday I present to you
the corruption of the raccoon pike.

I'm launching a first public playtest on Steam very soon, so if you're interested in measuring your wits against this guy stay tuned!

Been in a large bugfixing-trying-to-get-stuff-ready-for-public-playtest hole for a longish time now, but I'm getting close!

Enjoy this boss minion with the working name Cogo ⚙️

One of the most interesting and fun things about playtesting is the ways other people manage to break the game in ways I couldn't have imagined.

My brother sent me this the other week

Question for indie/solo game devs: do you localize your game other than english? (and your own native language if not english, I suppose)
Have you had good experiences doing this?

Have you combined localisation with e.g streamer outreach in that language/region?

The top comment on my last trailer was "very blurry video" - I took that personally (and made a completely new one)

Cheers for hosting!

Save the Forest is a srpg-inspired tactics roguelite that I'm releasing early-ish 2026, featuring isometric pixel art, cute squirrels and menacing hedgehogs (nah just kidding they are also kinda cute).

Synced or non-synced animations? I can't really tell what looks best. I'm planning on making it an option in-game but wondering what to use for the default (unsynced version in reply)
