I've been a bit inactive due to another round of Covid, in the meantime I'm just preparing little things for another event. I think I'll get back into the groove after that. #gamedev #indiegame #mazestalker

My girlfriend got a #luigi keychain, I told her to put it on her bag with her other cute stuff. She looked at me like I'm a madman and explained Luigi can't go with the cute stuff, Luigi is a MAN! It turns out that Toad IS allowed on her bag though...

The convention went smoothly! I'll try to wrap everything into a Youtube-video! The next austrian gaming event is soon, so let's see if I have recovered until then! #gamedev #solodev #indiegame

This weekend I will make a first public appearance with #mazestalker at @ViennaComix. I have a table there, drop by and say hello! Collect one of these babies! #gamedev #solodev #indiegame

So this weekend I had an idea, when playing #hollowknight : A little knockback upon hitting is perfect! Trying it out it feels amazing and is just that little detail I needed to make this fel good.

So I had an idea that works really well for me. When I started building the fighting system, I accidently made it so you can only hit one enemy. I ended up really liking this. In many games of this kind spamming the sword for crowd control trivializes combat. But something always felt off. You knock back one enemy, but you end up being very exposed. #gamedev #indiegame #mazestalker #isometric #solodev

I will soon have my first public appearance at an austrian convention. This is new for me and I was hardly ready, so very quickly I had to come up with at least a minimum promo thing. #gamedev #solodev #mazestalker #indiegame

The fact that Dungeon 1 turned into Dungeon 3 allows me to spice it up with much more engaging scenarios. #gamedev #indiegame #solodev #mazestalker #isometric #zelda #ys

Two years of distance and I discover little sections like this and they make me feel: Hell yeah, more of this! Soon... very soon... #indiedev #solodev #indiegames #gamedev #Landstalker #mazestalker

@upmultimedia Hm interesting. Good to know what angle to prepare for in the days ahead when I have to defend myself for working solo.

It's been two years. Two years since I sidestepped "for a moment" to wrap up my demo. Returning to the game space I was working on before that feels exciting. A lot of work to bring this up the new standards. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #unity3d

I've been working on this little sequence for a while. Still needs a little more polish, but it's getting there! #gamedev #indiegame #mazestalker #isometric #horrorgame

This is where I'm at so far. It's clear the demo brought in some movement! I want to thank each and every one of you who wishlisted my game! Without you I would be very lost...

This room will be different in the final version and then it will be a very #metroidvania like indication of things to come. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #landstalker

When I say that finishing the demo has distracted me from the FUN stuff for almost an entire year, this is what I mean. #gamedev #indiegame #isometric

This clip was half a year of work for my animator @melthins . We still have a few more clips to do before this is anywhere near complete, but I think it will be worth it! #gamedev #animation #progress #indiegame

@zarfeblong Now I want to make a gamejam game based on ambigrams!

In case you haven't wishlisted my game:

There's no time like today!

When I released my demo I was shocked how many showstopper-type bugs it still contained... I really had to sit down and fix them, so I updated the demo.
One issue I had to admit defeat about was that the shadows are too weak and so new we have these strong ones. #gamedev #indiegame #mazestalker
