The alien scrapper needs your help to hit the daily scrap packing quota or the Nexus enforcers are going to come down hard on him. Blocking in a new layout for the sorting game we shared the other day. #indiedev #indiegames #shiftingsands #pixelart #scifi

@TesanaAI Racing isn’t live in the demo, but will be soon. In the meantime you can absolutely wishlist the game and follow us for updates: store.steampowered.com/app/3986410/Sh…

@SilentSunGames NEED THIS!

@CalryaStudio Thank you! Sifting through the sands for scrap can be a grind so we want to offer scrappers plenty of fun distractions and side activities.

@SilentSunGames Omg this is so cute! Look at the little animals racing✨

@IndieBandits Sci-fi desert world scrappunk exploration. Demo Steam → store.steampowered.com/app/3986410/Sh…

Clarity is more important than complexity. Can players understand your game instantly? Let's see one screenshot with just the title of your game (and somewhere to wishlist it). 👇 #CelebrateIndies #IndieGameMarketing #Marketing

@DevLand95213410 You've got to check out Joe Richardson's games.... store.steampowered.com/search/?develo…

Forwarded ⏩ " What keeps indie devs from using public domain classical paintings in their games vs the slop? There are literally millions of public domain classical images. Using it could show people a beautiful part of art history too. " #gamedevs

Nausicaä's horseclaw, aka toriuma, served as the main inspiration for the Silt Striders... though people often see them and instantly think CHOCOBO from Final Fantasy... which is fine. We love chocobos too.

Silt Strider races have hit the dunes! Some horseclaw inspo went into these feathered mounts. Nabbing one is a huge boon to dune travelers. Should we add capturing and taming too? #ShiftingSands #PixelArt #IndieGame #SiltStriders #ScrapSurvival

@CDReferences Nausicaä horseclaws never left my head. Turned them into Silt Striders for Shifting Sands... ride hard across the dunes... outrun the storm. Bringing the pixel art desert alive one creature at a time. Wishlist → store.steampowered.com/app/3986410/Sh…

Love how naturally it fits the whole “game inside the game” inventory tetris. We've got several similar minigames to show off too... circuit completion, defrag, and.... cooking?!

Seen all those conveyor belt clips flooding the feed lately? Yeah… we have our own. 1 minute of pure satisfaction: three variations... scrap, sand fish, and squishy toys. Rotate, flip, nail the fit before the timer runs out. Already had the subsystems cooked up for a while, so it just slotted right in. UI is WIP. Which one is your favorite? #ShiftingSands #BoxPacking #PackingGame #PixelArt #IndieGame #ScrapSurvival

Blacksmith’s Backroom unlocked. ⚒️ Only opens if you chase one of the endgame paths. Secret resistance cafe/bar tucked behind the forge. Hand placed pixel art, glowing pipes, weapon racks on the wall, coffee brewing... full hidden rebel HQ energy. Every detail done by hand. #PixelArt #IndieGame #IndieDev #GameArt #SecretResistance

Out with the old forge, in with the Omniforge! It's like a Star Trek replicator that has been jerry rigged. Unifies crafting, salvaging, modding & upgrading. Still needs some tidying but feels much better already. #IndieGameDev #PixelArt #GameUI #RoguelikeDev #ShiftingSands

@CarnivalOfGame Amazing!

We asked what you'd want in a cantina. A band was the top answer. So... here they are: "The Filthy Ones". Also more bands are coming. What would you want to see next? #wishlistwednesday #pixelart #indiegame

🤫 Psssst, do you wanna join a secret club? You have to be IN with these NPCs and factions to access their backrooms and districts. SIX brand new Nexus areas to explore... here's some current WIP footage of them coming together. Loving how the layout, scale, and flow are shaping up so far. These will feel amazing once fully rendered and detailed! What do you think of the vibe? #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #WIP

Cowboy Bebop Tech Aesthetic:

Game dev isn’t just "make a game." It’s: - Late nights no one sees - Learning 15 jobs - Fixing one thing, breaking five - Panic attacks - Wondering if anyone will even care And still showing up the next day. Keep going, indie devs, I believe in you.

This indie dev spent 1,400+ days building his game, Tangy TD, completely from scratch in C++. Seeing him and his wife react after the game earned $250,000 in its first week after launch is honestly beautiful.

This dubious 🍄 mushroom is not an approved feature... like why would a mushroom even make you giant... it doesn't make sense. How did it get in the game? #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevlife #indiegames #pixelart

@IndieGameJoe Yeah! ONWARD FOR INDIES!!! 📯

Hi all. Just wanted to say I am having such a blast sharing your indie games and projects! The goal is still to grow this platform and help spotlight as many indies as possible. Together, we’ve already helped drive thousands of wishlists. Thank you all!
