@thevenvillan @VoidmawGames @pr_pirate oh looks sick!! awesome job 🔥

My latest trailer got picked up by IGN 😲! Big thanks to @VoidmawGames and @pr_pirate for allowing me to get a pun in there (I couldn't help myself!) 🐈 youtube.com/watch?v=A2931L…

@TeamCherryGames wahoo! congratulations on wrapping up development!! can't wait to see the results of your many years of hard work, i predict a masterpiece

Hollow Knight: Silksong will be available September 4 on all platforms and day one on Xbox Game Pass! Watch the release trailer: youtu.be/6XGeJwsUP9c

@rotub @DoggyDontCare Yessss congrats man that's awesome!

10~ years ago I watched Indie Game The Movie and during the PAX scenes I thought to myself "I missed my chance at being an indie game developer" 🥹

I was heavily inspired by that superb intro sequence in #donkeykong for my demo opening. It's a mini tutorial, cutscene & character portrait blended together perfectly. Good work DK 🍌 The rat may need a bit more flair to compare... 😬 #indiegames (footage credit:zackscottgames)

My local library has a huge exhibit dedicated to #untitledgoosegame ! What the honk?? A very pleasant suprise to run into this, what a cool showcase. Feeling validated about all my scribbled dev notebooks 😅

@RunewardOnline Looks great! But if you're thinking of pivoting, check out "smash bros entrance" animations as there are so many of those and I think this is similar to what you're going for :)

I've been making a mock-up for a ''party-spawn-in'' animation, but I'm not entirely sold yet on the fall animation.. any feedback/suggestions? Maybe I'll just do a simple fade-in instead :) #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Currently improving the 📷 camera & 📍 map marker system Now I will be extra heartbroken when players completely ignore this feature pls tell me that you use map markers in games 😬 #metroidvania #gamedev #indiedev #wishlistwednesday #camera

@rotub It looks so clean! (in the graphic design sense at least) nice one 🔥

This is my indie game main menu That is all

@TankSpork Haha 'bounce time' give me flashbacks of "chance time" 🎉 Yes I definitely need to be more consisntent!

@RasterRouser Maybe "Bounce Time!"? Would depend how you've done the other abilities.

Does 'Get Bounce' sound a bit too janky in English? I'm trying to reduce the amount of text shown to the player #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev

@emotional_realm oh thanks for the kind words 🙏 you are right on the money, there definitely are some 'special levels' tailored to each mech piece!

@RasterRouser like earthworm jim… but way more amazing! do you have special levels where player can only manage the rat??

Though not as effective as pocket sand, 'pocket rat' can also be useful in a pinch #gameart

A 10 yr old player showed me the 'right way' to solve this puzzle and they were over the moon about their discovery... I'm watching like 😬😬😬 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev

hey tysm! 🙏 congrats on your recent launch, I can't wait to play it with my mate over new year! It's gorgeous!

@RasterRouser Beautifully atmospheric and should be pretty addictive👍

It's always super interesting to hear how players interpret the inspiration behind your game. PAX players thought the unique abilities & character swapping reminded them of #lostvikings I haven't played Lost Vikings yet 😬 Best change that soon! #indiedev #gamedev #metroidvania

This game is a blast!! Do not miss it if you are an #overcooked fan!

I'm a big fan of invisible tutorials ; the less words used the better. This one still needs some work! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev

Please check out 'Which Way Up' and consider supporting them for the last 2 days of their kickstarter if you haven't already! The game is perfect for you if you like #nintendo games or couch #multiplayer games!

Check out the next Virtual Indie Booth hosted by @VideoGameiacs and you may see something familiar! 🐀🪤
