Currently developing 'Where The Flock!?' - a 2D puzzle-strategy game about saving a herd of sheep from a dangerous mountain. It's cozy, with a sprinkling of violence. Wishlist it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3851010/Where_The_Flock/
It's a really late #screenshotsaturday aka #screenshotsunday ! A new 'biome' is being created for Where The Flock!? - The Caves! What do you think? Yay or Nay? I'm still busy with some of the pixel art. #gamdev #indiegame #indiedev

We're back in the flow! Today I'm working on the tileset for the 2nd zone of my upcoming Lemmings-like game, and it's going to be a cave system. This took me about 15 minutes (I'm not an artist). Critical feedback? #screenshotsaturday #pixelart #gamdev #indiedev

This is not a huge number, but its 45 people MORE than I thought would Wishlist "Where the Flock!?". Now I need to focus on finishing the demo and figuring out how to get that uploaded to @Steam! #gamedev #indiedev Loving the country breakdown too! Has anyone here from bsky added it to Wishlist yet?

This #ScreenShotSaturday I'm showing off the water in Where The Flock!? It's not finished yet, but this used to be a simple blue square sprite with some opacity. This effect is achieved purely in code without a shader. #gamedev #indiedev #puzzlegames

So the trailer for Where The Flock!? dropped right after the Steam page got approved and in a little over a day I have managed to amass...*drumroll*...TEN (10) wishlists so far! lol. Honestly, I'm pretty happy with that. I didn't ever think it'd be 1,000. More like 0! #gamedev

#newlogo - the current one has been with me for several years but I dont think its quite what I'm going for. This might be more it. What do you guys think? Any actual artists think they can do better? #Logos #gamedevelopment

This #screenshotsaturday Im showing the 'old' gamejam main menu of my game versus the new 'Steam' version which is WIP. New tileset, more legible font, touched up mountains, gradient sky in the background - same feel I think. What to you think?? Let me know. #gamedev #indiedev

Anyone keen on doing unpaid-but-credited localisation for my upcoming Steam game? Looking for Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, German, French, Portuguese, Russian and Korean. Below a typical example of what would be translated. About 9 screens for the demo. #localisation #gamedev #indiedev

#screenshotsaturday - presenting the first stab at a trailer for Where the Flock!? ClipChamp locks this to 30fps, which sucks, so I'm going to have to seriously get better software. but enjoy the guest appearance by our world-renowned narrator!

Alright - Im no artist. Help me pick a capsule from the below 3? AI suggested I add a stronger drop shadow (done) + that I mix up the palette and make it more colorful. Some text options here as well. Which capsule do you think is best? 1/2/3? Suggestions? #gamedev #capsuleart #arthelp

First attempt at #CapsuleArt - I dont think I can a) afford to try and hire someone and b) trust them to do non-AI work. So I'm having a go myself. Rate it on a scale of 1-10? RT for some visibility! #art #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

So I'm not missing #screenshotsaturday this time. I posted a short on YouTube - my first ever - at its been pretty disliked. 8 likes to 9 dislikes. Its just showing this mechanic. Is exploding sheep too much?? What do you think? Also: improved UI and new speed features. #gamedev #indiedev #puzzles

An interesting thing occurred to me the other day. A while ago (September 2021) I paid someone on Fiverr to create the logo Ive been using ever since. I ran it through an AI checker & it said 85% likely generated by Midjourney. Midjourney was only publicly available in 2022 🤔 What do you think?? #AI

Today I present to you the Bomb/TNT mechanic. Staying true to core Lemmings values and mechanics, its great to finally have this working. Also, @Steam page should be coming soon! What do you think? #gamedev #IndieGameDev #Lemmings #retrogames

I missed #screenshotsaturday so Im going to pioneer #screenshotsunday -and why not? That could be a thing. Today I'm out of the game engine and in Photoshop, with my amateurish-self-taught pixel-art workflow doing improvements to platform edges. Sexy. It looks a lot better in the game now.

I think this is me reaching the pinnacle of my game development journey so far. Thanks again to @gamedevtv.bsky.social for hosting another amazing game jam - I love these things! This has given me the motivation to continue on with this project and get it on to @Steam!

Damn - I missed #screenshotsaturday so here's a very late view at the 'fan' feature in my lemmings-like game about saving lost sheep. Works in tandem with the 'parachute' feature. What do you guys think? Still needs a few SFX so its WIP #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame
