We're making a cyberpunk club management game. Wishlist now: store.steampowered.com/app/2847510/Sy… #UnrealEngine #Tycoon #ScreenshotSaturday #Management #Strategy #Cyberpunk

I need to learn to release and not worry about the results; yes, that's an important skill too.

Gameplay-wise, it feels like everything is ready, 100% of the original concept (even 125%). It's an unusual state. I'm editing texts and fixing cosmetic bugs.

I want to write about how much I've accomplished and progressed today, but no, I'm diligently learning not to overwork and to maintain some minimal work-work balance. #Gamedev #Indie #WastelandSurvival #LifeSimulator #Postapocalypse

Working on a simplified tutorial. #Gamedev #Indie #WastelandSurvival #LifeSimulator #Postapocalypse

I was sitting and thinking about which screenshot to show, and I accidentally messed up my main playthrough. It's a bit disappointing, but at least I got to see the Game Over screen :D #Gamedev #Indie #WastelandSurvival #LifeSimulator #Postapocalypse

@R1_Stargazer Wow! Looks very cool!

There are also many new small pop-ups with choices for certain activities (cooking, stealing). #Gamedev #Indie #WastelandSurvival #LifeSimulator #Postapocalypse #ScreenshotSaturday #screenshotsaturday

The inventory has been redesigned with clear slots + it has been combined with the crafting screen, and the crafting itself has also become more appealing and understandable. #Gamedev #Indie #WastelandSurvival #LifeSimulator #Postapocalypse #ScreenshotSaturday #screenshotsaturday

@Toyojiro3619 すばらしい！

@watchmeanimate Wow!

It's funny how the "mini-prototype" got out of hand and became so close to a version that you could not only playtest but actually release. And how about your Indie Saturday? :D

Good progress over the week - content, bug fixes, reputation, revamped inventory and crafting, endgame, and a million other tweaks and improvements. #Gamedev #Indie #WastelandSurvival #LifeSimulator #Postapocalypse #ScreenshotSaturday

Unfortunately, it's not monetizable, but in this case, that doesn't seem to be the goal :-)

that everything is great and can be iterated on and even tried for release :D I found last year's mini-experiment, and it plays just as wonderfully; I'm slowly fixing bugs and expanding the content.

The absence of strict deadlines and the "need to die for indie development" allows us to remember that there are various prototypes and experiments gathering dust somewhere, to open them up and discover #gamedev #wasteland #postapocalypse #survivalsimulator #indie #management

@GlvGalv @deltagame33 somehow I'm getting similar vibes!

demo2 is LIVE

@DreamMixGames Just ignore them, really. The whole industry is using LLMs, it's just a new reality. I have a lot of ex-colleagues in different gamedev companies - the usage is close to 100% at least for code (both assistance and complete feature implementation).

Good riddance.

With a fresh perspective, Project Apocalypse plays quite well. There are definitely some rough spots, and I immediately encountered a really annoying bug (thankfully there are no sales right now, or that would have been frustrating). But overall, it's exactly what I was hoping for. So, is it time for Project Apocalypse 2 or not yet? :D Right now, my skills and understanding are significantly better than they were 5 years ago; I would do a lot of things simpler / differently / better. Still, I find myself wanting a game about "building a base" in one form or another. #ProjectApocalypse #UnrealEngine #Strategy #Gamedev #Indie

On my birthday, I usually write a post summarizing the year and highlighting some key achievements. But I could do this for my game dev profile too, right? :-) - The main outcome of the year was the freezing of Synthetica's development, and that's great. I still haven't gotten around to breaking it down into valuable components (at least extracting the dialogue system) and putting together a mini tech demo; that will be my indie goal for the year :D - I completed a training from Epic Games on Control Rig and even used the experience in my work for the first time, which is excellent. - I started making an app for practicing Japanese vocabulary. It's turning out to be useful, but I haven't found the time for it yet. I'm juggling priorities to make it develop more actively. - I began working on Idle Apocalypse - a minimalist idle game about developing a post-apocalyptic camp, yep. It's going pretty well, but it also doesn't fit into my schedule :D - I started gathering all mini-prototypes, learning tools, and experiments into one Lab project, and so far, this is the best solution I've had in a while. This fits into my schedule, and since there are no strict deadlines or lists of hundreds of necessary fixes, it’s just comfortable to relax after work. - Completely unexpectedly, I started planning a mini-patch for Project Apocalypse. - My extra indie game dev goals for the year are to get Kanji Learner to its first users. The power goal is also to finish Idle Apocalypse to a playtest version. Both seem achievable in a short timeframe, but I need to find the time. That's the deal. Happy birthday, yep :-) #Gamedev #UnrealEngine #Idle #IdleApocalypse #Strategy #Indie

Well, now that's different; you can just afford to casually put together some character controller and play around with animations and settings. No pressure, no list of 100+ things to solve and fix. A pure development sandbox, even if I only had 15 minutes for it today. #UnrealEngine #Gamedev #Indie
