My laptop has been overheating a lot recently, so figured it was time to open it up and check. Think I found the reason 🤦♂️ #dust
Clicking this special button today 👀 ROVA comes out this morning! Tell everyone aghhhhh!!! #madewithunity #gamedev #cozygaming #indiedev
ROVA is painfully close to reaching 4,000 wishlists on Steam😭 Help us get there?? 🪐 #mondaymotivation #indiegamedev #cozygaming
If our cozy space-rover game, ROVA hits 4k wishlists by the end of the week, I'll add online co-op 😏 #indiegamedev #gaming #indiegame
Thanks Alex! We're making ROVA, a cozy space-rover photography game 🪐📸 Just released a fresh demo, ready for NextFest : store.steampowered.com/app/3147020/...
Had an absolute blast hosting and taking part in our first GlobalGameJam site! #ggj26 You know it's been a success when you hear people are keen to develop their games further 😄 Massive thanks to @gazthomas.com & @charlesgershom.com for helping organise the event! #indiegamedev #gaming
Work Commute (quadruped animation test) #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity
Excited to announce we have a jam site for #ggj26, an awesome opportunity to meet local devs and make cool stuff in North Wales 🎉 Please sign up here: globalgamejam.org/jam-sites/20... #indiedev #gamedev #northwales
This turned into a bit of a rant, so I'll end on a lighter note; I genuinely enjoyed the time I spent with other developers, gamers and creators alike. We need more events and excuses to get together 🫶 #indiegamedev #gaming
- Although we arrived at 8am to set up our booth, we didn't even recieve tables or power until 10am (the original advertised opening time) - Those attending were made to wait until the event was ready, which understandably left many feeling sour🙃
Nothing more gross than websites requiring even more data, no wonder everyone's using VPN's - what a faff 🙃 #censorship #noprivacy
Super early WIP screenshots, but we're adding weather systems to ROVA 📸🪐 Currently experimenting with dynamic clouds and lighting - rain is next on the list⛈️ #indiegamedev #madewithunity #space
Our #Indiegame ROVA might not be at #SummerGameFest (who has that money, right?) But you can still check it out on Steam 🥹 👇Linked Below 👇
More screenshots leak from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered
Rumour has it @freerangedevs.bsky.social are releasing a new update for ROVA's demo soon, featuring colonist customisation. You didn't hear this info from me though🤫 #indiegamedev #cozygaming
It was an honour to recieve the Top Player award at last night's Gwobrau Gogledd Creadigol / Creative North Awards 2025. Congratulations to all other winners 🎉 It's inspiring to be surrounded by so much talent from North Wales. What an evening! #indiegamedev #northwales
Guess who was on #BBC news recently and forgot to shout about it? Briefly talked about #indiegamedev in North Wales and they included some old footage of ROVA 📸🪐 #gaming #cozygames
Figured it was time to paint my #skateboard 🦴🦴 Do you know the inspiration behind the design? 👀 #customskateboard #skateboarding #sharpie #painting #art
Learning to #Skateboard Day 2. First time on ramps. Took a while to get used to shifting my weight as I went up, but slowly figured out how to pump without crouching too low 💪 #skateboarding #skatepark
Got a #skateboard for my birthday. Time to learn 🛹 I spent a few days messing around on the board in my kitchen, literally just spinning around on the tail (idk what to call that). This was my first proper day moving around 🫡 #skateboarding #skatepark
Currently making the latest trailer for #ROVA 📸🪐 Better late than never, right? 🙈 #indiegamedev #cozygames #gaming
