Hoooooodl!!! #indiegames #indie

Save the date and all! Tailgate demo is gonna be released on August 17! And I didn’t come empty handed! Take a look at the refreshed trailer! 👇👇👇🐕❤️‍🔥 #indie #cozygaming #indiegame #adventure #wholesome #animalgames #dog #adventure #cozygaming #gametrailer #Tailgate

Tailgate is an emotional journey, that’s true. But who said that some doggo foolishness and a pinch of chaos ain’t allowed? Woof! #indie #indiegame #adventuregames #dog #demo #chaos #funny #Tailgate

And that’s a wrap on Tailgate Demo development. Yeah yeah, playtests, bugs and all this. But all the tickets are green; all known bugs fixed (or shelved), features are in. Now, the last stretch before release. #indie #indiedev #gamedev #dog #demo #Tailgate

To woofinity and beyond! P.S. only with your safety helmet on. #ScreenshotSaturday #indie #indiegames #adventuregames #demo #dog #UnrealEngine #Tailgate

Wanted to express my extremely valuable opinion on a hot topic, but sniffed some summer air and here you have a Sunday vibe shot🐕😎 #indie #indiegames #adventuregames #summer #dog #Tailgate #showmesunday

Saturday morning and you see your bud appearing from around the corner. It’s gonna be a great day😎 #ScreenshotSaturday #indie #indiegames #adventure #dogs #UnrealEngine #Tailgate

Talk to the h̶a̶n̶d̶ cat! I won’t be surprised if she says that you should wishlist Tailgate (I know, because Iliterally wrote her line😎) 👇👇👇 #WishlistWednesday #indie #indiegames #demo #dog #Tailgate

Hyde isn’t the most graceful one. But you don’t need to be one to have some fun, do you? P.S. I’m keeping the $3600 cone for the future generations. #screenshotsaturday #indie #indiegames #dog #demo #fun #Tailgate

Bug fixing going pretty well and since it’s #WishlistWednesday here’s a jump scare for you (in fact, it’s more like an area restriction, but some players tease it as challenge🤣). store.steampowered.com/app/3046820/Ta… #indie #indiegames #demo #adventuregames #dog #Tailgate

Tailgate has a lot of stuff to do (you have a Hooman to find!), but it wouldn’t be a dog game, if you couldn’t wander around, run like crazy (easy, dawg!) and stick your muzzle where it doesn’t belong #WishlistWednesday #indie #indiegames #adventuregames #dog #Tailgate

I’m pretty happy with how settings turned out. Visually they are pretty simple, coherent with game’s UI. UX-wise they may (or may not) be a bit unusual (apply in click, one-button cycle-select-apply). #trailertuesday #demo #UI #dog #indie #indiegame #Tailgate

Settings UI works good. Now a bit of alignment adjustment, fill in all other slots and move on the actual settings backend! I actually thought that it would take much more time (then again, there’s always something else that will!) #indie #indiegames #ui #demo #UnrealEngine #dog #Tailgate

It’s time to wake up and smell the sunshine! store.steampowered.com/app/3046820/... #indie #indiegame #adventuregame #cozy #wholesome #dog #Tailgate

Intermittent Demo build is ready for testing! And I’m off building a couple more systems (settings, audio/music direction, some QoL features, Achievements, Loc etc. ) feeling confident and excited! #showmesunday #demo #indie #indiegames #solodev #unrealengine #dog #Tailgate

It’s #ScreenshotSaturday again! Took some time (a lot) to get step away from Lumen and keep the feel of the game. Now, with a decent headroom (up to 160 FPS), I can move into the final stretch before the demo release😎 #indie #indiegames #adventuregames #unrealengine #dog #Taigate #solodev

Tackled some bugs and cosmetic stuff in current demo build. Few more and it will go to f&f playtest. Honestly, I feel pretty confident. Been playing a a bit lately, and I felt the “Wow, I’m really making a real game and it’s not bad at all!”. #indie #indiegames #demo #cozy #adventure #dog #Tailgate

Doggo’s looking at the unsniffed territory. And you can wishlist Tailgate and help him de-unsniff it! 🐕🎾👇👇👇🎾🐕 store.steampowered.com/app/3046820/... 🐕🎾👆👆👆🎾🐕 #WishlistWednesday #indie #indiegames #cute #cozygaming #wholesomegames #sweet #dog

Been playing with settings and options. 30 fps lock and FXAA will probably allow a potato rig run Tailgate, but also adds charm I can’t explain (not really visible on a small screen)❤️‍🔥🐕 store.steampowered.com/app/3046820/... #TrailerTuesday #indie #indiegames #PS1 #cozygaming #dog #Tailgate

Dropping Lumen in favour of baked lighting was a pain, but keeping good visual quality and adding performance expected from a stylised game was totally worth it😎🐕❤️‍🔥 store.steampowered.com/app/3046820/... #screenshotsaturday #indie #indiegames #adventuregames #dog #UnrealEngine #Tailgate

Not gonna lie, been feeling a bit down. Solo is often hard (nobody forced me, lol). ThenI’ve completed my current demo on SteamDeck (25 min playtime). And you know what, felt kinda good! Some things still need more love, but nothing massive or critical. #WishlistWednesday #indie #indiegames #dog

I really lack patience (and time), so I mostly start strong but then I’m too eager to finish the drawing. Anyway here’s one of the concept arts for another Tailgate chapter, that will mostly be a runner!(yeah!). And a color version (yeah yeah cheater I know)

Sometimes I need to get away from the screen (staring at it for 10-12 hours a day regardless of the activity isn’t good anyway). Drawing is among my least developed skills (or it just happens to be more obvious) — maybe 1/10 of my occasional drawings are good-ish.

My game is not perfect. But here are it’s strong points: 🖼️ art direction; ✍🏼 emotional story; 🎨 visual narrative; 🧶 craftsmanship (hand made with love); 🐕 obviously, dog. Tell about your game! #indie #indiegames #madewithlove #dog

Halt! Or whatever it means. It’s #screenshotsaturday which means it’s time to lift some new and smaller indie games. Drop your screenshots (but let’s keep it pure, just one screenshot!), like, share. I’ll repost and wishlist! #indie #indiegames #solodev #wholesome #cute #dog #Tailgate

After some tinkering, here’s a Steamdeck native screenshot. I’ve been floating from “looks and runs like crap”, through “looks like crap, but runs okay”, into the “looks nice and runs as intended” for a while now. #WishlistWednesday #indie #indiegame #indiegames #demo #SteamDeck #dog

Continuing the “Doggo’s fun with Signs”. This one doesn’t make any sense in the game (to be honest, neither does the similar one IRL). To be continued tomorrow! #indie #indiegames #indiegame #adventuregame #dog #signs #Tailgate #TrailerTuesday

You wanted a sign? Here it is! What does it say? No idea. #indie #indiegames #MondayMotivation #adventuregames #dog #Tailgate

That moment when I just look at how my game looks and think “damn, this is exactly what I wanted”. Yeah, visuals and not the most important part, but for me it means a lot. #showmesunday #indie #indiegames #adventuregames #UnrealEngine #dog #Tailgate #solodev
