@Lockie_Glizzy Hello! Solo dev here creating a planet and life simulation game! x.com/i/status/19563…

Alright - that time of week and I’m on the hunt for some more titles to be featured in this week's "Indie Games of the Week Spotlight". I want to spotlight: • Small accounts • Solo devs • Small teams • Games that deserve WAY more attention We’re also looking for titles to playtest - selected games will receive a dedicated feature article on our blog So, if you’re building something special -drop it below 👇 Last week’s spotlight for reference 👇

I continue working on civilizations update. This time: military units and battles. Still needs a lot of polishing and everything you see it's a placeholder, but the system has been implemented on the game with success. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

Happy New Year!!! 🎊🎉🥳 2025 has been great with the Early Access release of Planetary Life and the amazing reception from all of you, but 2026 is going to be greater with the Civilizations update and all the incoming updates that will improve the game in so many ways!

@GiusCaminiti I do something similar. After trying many different methods I found that the old school Config Files were the best way to save things for my game. Not the most efficient in terms of file size, but very flexible and easy to remove or add new data without breaking compatibility.

In many indie games, updates often break save files💀 My solution? I store everything in a single variable: Dictionary<string, object>. This way: ✅ Store anything (even nested dicts) ✅ Add/remove fields without breaking old saves Do you prefer rigid or dynamic structures?

@invariance334 Thanks! 🙏

@pitxardo Bro, your project really underrated. You making a good game. Good luck!

@GiusCaminiti Yo tenía dudas sobre si Japón era un mercado fuerte para los juegos de estrategia, ETR o sims en Steam, así que no metí traducción para ellos. Me lo voy a tener que replantear viendo tus datos. 😅

While I work on the Civilizations major update, I took a break to prepare a minor update including some visual improvements for Planetary Life. This patch will also include some small fixes and one very demanded QoL feature. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

our indie game: - Made by one (so it shouldn't be "our" indie game 🤔) - Planet, life and evolution simulation game - Inspired by SimEarth and Spore - Creatures and plants editor - Drop some meteors and start a massive extinction - Play idle by letting things evolve on their own

Over the past few days, I've been working on resolving the biggest bottleneck in game performance, including some other optimizations, and the results are incredible! This isn't new content, but everyone will benefit from this update! Here the before and after:

@Jav1Arte @GiusCaminiti Si filtras los juegos que salen cada día de calidad dudosa, no queda tanta competencia. Cuando estuve revisando la posible fecha de lanzamiento del mío, digamos que veía entre 2 y 5 juegos con potencial cada día, poco más. Sigue siendo alto, pero no la locura que venden.

@GiusCaminiti Pero 5 juegos en 2 meses, sigue siendo aislado, no? Quiero decir, en 2 meses, cuántos juegos pueden salir al mercado hechos por equipos pequeños? Al final, sean juegos hechos con equipos pequeños o grandes, un x% de esos, tendrá éxito. >>>

Siempre que alguien hablaba de juegos hechos por equipos muy pequeños y que habían vendido millones la gente decía "pero eso son casos aislados que tuvieron mucha suerte!" Solo en los últimos 2 meses han salido como 5 juegos pequeños que vendieron millones en pocas semanas. Sigue siendo suerte? 🤔

@GiusCaminiti La suerte influye en algo, pero esos juegos estaban condenados a triunfar. Tenían todos los checks en verde. Y sí, salen 50 juegos al día en Steam de media pero la gran mayoría no se pueden contar ni como juego en fase prototipo, si filtras no son tantos (aún así muchos).
