Big thanks to MadMorph for featuring #Tideheart in his mermaid Insta/YT/ Tiktok video series! If you've just found us through there, please share your thoughts on the game! Let us know what you'd like to see more of as @kdinjenzenvo.com  asked... #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #mermaid #merfolk

Working on some early concepts for The Skiff, an exploration vessel that inhabits the #Tideheart world! Any concepts really stand out? What elements or designs do you love or want to see explored more? 🌊💙 #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #BrokenTailInteractive #mermaid #merfolk

Speed paint of Gron! Our beloved muscled, larger than life merman who, despite his size, is one of the friendliest faces you’ll ever meet in the #Tideheart world!  💙🌊 #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #BrokenTailInteractive #mermaid #merfolk

There is SO much we want to get right with the feel, the movement, the joy of underwater as  @_____rml_____ one of the developers describes. What are your favorite underwater games or the best movement controls you've seen? 💙🌊 #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #BrokenTailInteractive #mermaid #merfolk

It's a great question @kdinjenzenvo.com! What other games in early development besides #Tideheart are you all following right now? Is there a gem you've watched go all the way from early days to release? #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #BrokenTailInteractive #mermaid #merfolk

Excited to share perspective from Pen, one of the concept artists & creative voices shaping the characters & world of #Tideheart! Art is core to our game, so as Pen asked, what're some of YOUR favorite video game art books? 🎨📖 #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #BrokenTailInteractive #mermaid #merfolk

#gamedev do be like that sometimes 😅 Oh, and come see Az on a better day! Check out our #Tideheart  demo on itch.io  🌊 #indiedev #indiegame #BrokenTailInteractive #mermaid #merfolk #magikarp

You couldn't have said it any better @kdinjenzenvo.com! Even if some things we share don't make it into the final version of #Tideheart, the journey getting there matters just as much! #indiedev #indiegame #BrokenTailInteractive #mermaid #merfolk
