Time Game Update: The game premise: uh oh, stuck in a time loop. There's a window of time (shortened for effect) to explore before time resets. #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev
Time Game Update: Time is frozen until you open the door. #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev
Time Game Update: Playing around with the idea of a physical split between 'Time-Moves-Normally' and 'Frozen-In-Time'. Thoughts on this effect? Does it sell 'Everything on the right is stopped'? #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev
Idle Game Update: I added some variation for the crop particles and now they look more natural. Still evaluating it but it's kind of cool! I also added some icons for the buildings. The SOUNDS though... gotta figure out how to fix that. Sheesh. #IdleGame #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev
Idle Game Update: New plane that will come and replant mid-year! Obviously this is a late game thing, but it's nice to fill your year up with more things to post-harvest. I'm still working out a capsule image. Art is hard. #IdleGame #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev
Idle Game Update: I've reworked a lot of the UI to be in the sidebar and made the tooltips in the bottom left 'POP' more. I was going for less interrupting popups, but does this make it less usable? #IdleGame #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev
Idle Game Update: I added hovering over crops to see what benefits they are currently getting from adjacent crops. I fear... it's not clear enough and this may need more rework. #IdleGame #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev
I had vocal feminization surgery and I'm still in recovery. I found this piano on the beach that kinda looks like my vocal cords.
Idle Game Update: Most of the effort has gone into tools and data, but I redid a lot of the UI! It's still a WIP but I think I have the style. Here's a before and after. What do you prefer? #IdleGame #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev
Idle Game Update: Auto-Tractors and better crop animations! This looks so much better (see last post) and it's really fun seeing basically exponentially higher crop yields. However, the drivers are kind of dumb. Deposit sound is very much a WIP. #IdleGame #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev
Idle Game Update: 🚜 - Tractors are in! The graphics are still temp but it's cool seeing them harvest exponentially. જ⁀➴ - When you collect, it tosses to storage, > fun. 📱 - I've started updating the UI to make it more readable. Finally in late game! #IdleGame #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev
POV you're enjoying a petite cheese danish on the couch and you live with a dog.
Small Idle Game Update: 🪣 I was tired of constantly filling in every plot so I made a fill-in tool. It's kind of fun to watch. #IdleGame #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev
Idle Game Update: 🐂 Livestock is in the game and they produce milk! 🧑🌾 Labor AI got an overhaul. It's still very purposefully simple. ⚙️ New Age is almost done with it's own tech tree! It's legit super fun to set things in motion and watch the year go. #IdleGame #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev
Soft launching being a huge fleet fan! I've got ice seats at the TD Garden game 🤘 #hockey #pwhl #bostonfleet #gofleet
Idle Game Update: 👆 Upgrades are in and you can kinda get crazy with them 🧑🤝🧑 Farmer's behavior, much more efficient 👗 Flax / Cloth Making are in the game! I also made so that each plant has different adjacency behavior so it's more fun to design fields #IdleGame #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev
Idle Game Update: 🕸️Upgrades are now in tree form and are SO much easier to develop for. 🌳Tech Tree remains and progress on the Third (of Five) ages continues. I'm now getting into fabric making and... cows? #IdleGame #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev
Idle Game Update: 📦I refined how production works and now you can transfer from storage to winery and back. I think the UX is so much clearer! 👂Also, thanks to suggestions, ambient sounds got a pass! #IdleGame #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev
Idle Game Update: 🌾🍞 Breadmaking in the game 🍇🍷 Winemaking In the game I've spent too long on figuring out how to move resources from A to B, but this method feels pretty good. Also, music-wise, feeling kind of cozy chill-hop? #IdleGame #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev
For idle game: Title Proposal: 'Agebound'! Logo Proposal: See below! Happy to hear your thoughts! :) #gamebug #IdleGame #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev
Working on the Idle Game and then this happened. #gamebug #IdleGame #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev
Idle Game Update: 🌸☀️🍂❄️ All the seasons are in! They all transition seamlessly as you watch a year fly by in 40 seconds. 🐇 Rabbits no longer eat your crops. They just hang out if you have carrots. You can pet them. I'm just going for cute vibes #IdleGame #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev
Not at GDC this year, but: #WhatAGameDevLooksLike I'm Mars! I've been in the industry for 14 years, working with WB, Riot, Blizzard, and a few others. Now I'm #sologamedev and working with friends on a start up. HMU if you wanna connect! :)
Idle Game Updates: 🌟 New Upgrades are in! You can increase number of residents and multiply the number of crops grown. 🗺️ Quest System is fleshes out and lots of guidance for the player. I also updated things to feel a bit less grid-like. #IdleGame #gamedev #unity3d #sologamedev #indiegamedev
