Like, if you like cleaning, you can clean up after Probing now, to find the source of the memory echo. Look at those little possibility spaces go!
Just added some more interface changes after watching @ancastasia.bsky.social almost play through the Playtest. When watching other people, stuff that's missing often becomes painfully obvious... #indiedev #indiegames
What if Single Player Marathon - but it's an Indie Cyberpunk Thriller about political upheaval and ecological collapse instead? Playtest available through August: s.team/a/3727200/ #screenshotsaturday #indiegames #gamedev
We will also be at Gamescom with "a permanent echo" this month! Come say hi and get one of our in-world advertisement zines that folks at @amazefest.bsky.social seemed to like quite a lot. #wishlistwednesday #zines #indiedev #indiegames See the ECU in action in our playtest: s.team/a/3727200/
Normalize post-capitalist futures! There are so many issues worth discussing - even after we overcome capitalism. So many unrelated but crucial ideologies we need to figure out to productively reclaim our future. Anyway, here's the full intro for "a permanent echo" #indiedev #indiegames #cyberpunk
🦺Public Service Announcement:🦺 Your painted #Warhammer40k Minis make excellent stand-ins for audience in participatory theater concepting. Pictured here is an interactive space-opera for 30 people and 2 actors. You may now resume your regularly scheduled daily activities. #interactive #theater
What's your take on our speculative future? A PERMANENT ECHO intro work-in-progress for #screenshotsaturday, in-engine in #unity3d. Still some glitches and still needs sound and a proper ending to tie into gameplay 😶🌫️. #indiegames #indiedev (🎶 is epidemic sound: T-Shirts & Sweats)
Games can be joyful and relaxing. And they can tell graceful stories about uncomfortable futures. In "a permanent echo", we invite you to work through the question of who is to blame for what's to come. ✨Wishlist: s.team/a/3727200 #indiegames #PitchYaGame
After taking in all the feedback from people playing at @amazefest.bsky.social and @untitledgamesevent.bsky.social - the interface is now much cleaner over the course of the different activities that make up the investigation part of the game. It is *also* much more stable 😊👾. #indiedev #gamedev
And (as of yet) fake miniature figurine boxes and boardgames.
This can help to formulate a personal political and philosophical position towards an ever growing trend within design discourse (most often academic) to present the manifold problems as "solvable" and "information based" instead of framing them as problems of power and access.
Like, let's imagine that there's a growing trend in administration to revolt against streamlined and designed solutions to messy human negotiations. I can make this up and ground it in a plausible telling of the future!
Part of the meaning making of sci-fi videogames, or more specifically, the design of sci-fi videogames, is that it allows for a personal investigation into the tomorrow - it gives you agency to create future solidarities. Like, resistance to discourse that you'd love to be a part of today.
Just in time for @untitledgamesevent.bsky.social , you can now change the tapes in our upcoming cyberpunk detective game A PERMANENT ECHO #indiegame #gamedev #cassettefuturism #screenshotsaturday store.steampowered.com/app/3727200/... (tip: click on link to wishlist)
Some folks at AMAZE were asking about the visual design inspiration for our game and it's this here: #indieganes #design #inspiration
Decompressing from @amazefest.bsky.social by contemplating what appliances I'll put @tanatb.housefuckinggame.com 's stickers on...
Can confirm that you can exchange Zines in person at @amazefest.bsky.social
Some bugs are almost too beautiful not to post... #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames
We can't wait to meet all our friends @amazefest.bsky.social this week! And to finally play all the fantastic games and performances there! Say hi if you happen to be around! We even paid some money to make it easier to find us:
Finally happy with the interface-onboarding for the FactBoard! #screenshotsaturday #indiegames #gamedev #indiedev This is for our next game, A PERMANENT ECHO, which you can whishlist here: store.steampowered.com/app/3727200/...
I have tried @alienmelon.bsky.social 's hot tip and i hereby confirm its truth: Adding physics to your game - even if it's completely unnecessary and irrelevant to the rest of your game - makes everything instantly more charming! 🙀 #indiegames #gamedev #apermanentecho
Design is lie. Admin is real. Radical Admin. #indiegames #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #apermanentecho
For this week's #screenshotsaturday - some world building. Solutionist Engineering is a prime source of fascism - but hear me out, what if the design mindset is similarly hegemonial? Only thing that will save us is radical administration. Design is Lie. Admin is life. and in the game. #indiedev
Sometimes I wonder if debug mode is prettier than the real thing... #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev
Can confirm those babies are indeed tiny and alien and the second weirdest thing we brought back from GDC.
very much inspired by a GDC talk titled: "Nobody Reads Anything" I have been working hard on a "fun"way of revealing text blocks and make reading more active. What's your solution to getting people to make read text engaging? #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames
