...views, showcasing a video of our trailer! 🫣🤯🎉

This has resulted in a huge spike in wishlists and a big boost in motivation.

For a long time we've wondered if our game would find its audience. If it would sell. Publishers have said no - yet here it is, proof. Our game has an audience, and...

Micro post-mortem of 1 week on TikTok with our game, As Long As You're Here:

Of the many hats I wear in indie game dev, my latest has been SoMe manager as I tried to figure out TikTok to promote our game.

After researching and experimenting, I'm proud to say we managed to go viral with 600k... 🧵

Important and possibly dumb question, do you know if you just need to buy one indie package ticket, and then it includes two-people access?

The checkout is a bit confusing and only gives you one field to add person details, so I'm suddenly in doubt if I need to get two tickets.

The rigging is going really well you guys trust me

... aaand here's the early days (2018) 🙃🫠

Here's the wireframe if anyone is interested. I'm totally self-taught and still consider myself an amateur. I'm still struggling with modelling and rigging good characters while keeping an eye on the topology, but I can see so much improvement since the early days...
February 14, 2025 at 11:41 AM
I'm finally making characters again 🥹

Forgotten is a game inspired by real people so we decided to use our own family as inspiration, and we use real photos in the game. Here's Ryan's dad! Catching his likeness is a lot of fun, but I'm still cursing at that stupid polo shirt collar... 🧵

Happy New Year! 🌟🎉
In 2024 I:
- turned 30

- went to B.C.
- worked on a farm
- planted 500 apple trees
- caught bees
- did a firewalk
- felt lost
- felt loved
- cried a lot
- was unemployed
- gained new hobbies
- pitched my game
- got funding

What a year ❤️
How was yours?

Spending the holidays w my boo in a remote summer house playing the new Golden Idol game, knitting a sweater, and making lots of fires because it is GREY, cold, and dark here (only way through winter is to get cozy) ☁️🔥🇩🇰
