You're a dad is in #SteamNextFest right now! It's weird to see that the little text adventure about being a parent is growing up. Me and @sprainedtootsie.dev are keen to here all of your feedback so we can improve it!

CJ from Pause & Effect spent some time with You're a dad, and I really enjoyed seeing how he approached the game. He will be covering a bunch of fun demos from #SteamNextFest in the coming days - looking forward to that!

My Steam Next Fest coverage has started! I played the demo for You’re A Dad by @linusbohman.bsky.social and @sprainedtootsie.dev! I dunno if this game helps me understand fatherhood, but the writing made me laugh, and I had fun playing it! Enjoy the video! youtu.be/lpWBKgGyOmo?...

#SteamNextFest is here and You’re a dad has an updated demo ready to play! I am very proud of all the work that has gone into it. I believe this is both @linusbohman.bsky.social and I’s first SNF event, and I can’t wait to see how it goes♥️

Hey, indie #gamedev people!

#SteamNextFest is upon us once again in a few weeks time. Anyone got any demos going up as part of the event? Let me know, I’d love to try your game!

Thanks for your interest!

I'm working on the new Steam trailer for You're a dad. Any feedback? It's hard to make a text game visually appealing, but my hope is that we can hint at the story and the feel of the game: youtu.be/JdGVZ11eVFI

This week I'll release the new art on Steam! Yay!

A few hours early, but since I'll be away tomorrow I'll do #screenshotsaturday now :) You're a dad now keeps track of all the backgrounds you find. Will tweak the final appearance, but happy with the functionality! Here's a video: youtu.be/6TNa8BkCSog

Today I learned that V-Sync can cause input lag. In my case there was a very noticeable delay after clicking on a button. Disabling V-Sync removed the delay. Good lesson! The next game I make will be more graphics heavy, so I'll take that one with me. docs.godotengine.org/en/4.4/tutor...

I love how @sprainedtootsie.dev did the bathroom in You're a dad. Never thought I'd swoon for a bathroom, but here we are! We're likely entering the updated demo in Steam Next Fest in October. Exciting!

The bathroom in You're a dad. The sink is on the left, slightly covering a toilet. The shower on the right complete the picture.

At the end of each day in You're a dad your family pops by for a visit. Serve them dinner! Unless you forget, or get caught in antics. (So happy with the way @sprainedtootsie.dev's art breathes life into the game!) #indiegame #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

A screenshot from the game You're a dad. The background shows your extended family coming, for whom you're supposed to have made dinner. Depending on your choices you might have everything prepared, or you might not.

My wife and I just had our first outing on our own since we got our second kid two years ago. Gamedev, projects, work and hobbies in all their glory - sometimes I "forget" what life is truly about. Friends, family, making the most of the time we have. It was a lovely night.

Woohoo! You're a dad, my first game, is in #steamvisualnovel fest! There's a demo out too! I'm proud of the game as-is, and it's getting even better with the art @sprainedtootsie.dev is making.

A little late today, but it is #wishlistwednesday! Thought I’d share another background for You’re a dad by @linusbohman.bsky.social . This might be my favorite yet👀

BIG NEWS! Skippity Rock has officially entered the play testing stage on Android. I’ve been working a lot on scope and polish the last week, and got a version submitted to Google. Today is focused fixing minor bugs, and getting the art cleaned up. #screenshotsaturday

Update on You’re a dad by @linusbohman.bsky.social - we’re over a quarter way done with the art update for the demo!

It’s been super fun to work on, and coming out nicely! I can’t wait to see it all put together☺️

The art @sprainedtootsie.dev is creating for You're a dad make the game come alive! You can find all sorts of (mostly) useful things in the closet. You can also hide in there. Not recommended, but you can. #screenshotsaturday
A still image from the game You're a dad. The image is of an open closet door. The space beyond contains several hanging garments. A single light illuminates the otherwise dark chamber.

The entire family has been ill the past two weeks. We've been doing it asynchronously - first the son, then the daughter, then the wife, then me. Now the daughter is ill again. Here's hoping we can abort the Promise of the next one getting ill so the family can have its energy back.

Something has been locked up in your fridge in You're a dad. It's a big eye. Why is it there? Will it eat your family? Do big eyes have teeth? Does it fit in a ball? Good questions. #screenshotsaturday

Illustration by @sprainedtootsie.bsky.social, who is giving the game a fantastic art overhaul.

Life has been intense the past weeks, so I haven't had much time to work on You're a dad. Still! Happy to say that I'm exploring a change of art direction. Hired some artists for test illustrations, and began brushing up my own skills as a fallback. Hope to commit to a direction next week.

Skippity Rock is a #hyper-casual mobile #game where you try to skip a rock from platform to platform to gain the highest score while collecting stars to shop with. If you miss the platform, your rock will sink and you’ll have to start over. It’s relaxing, and more importantly a lot of fun.
