Indie game question: What do you prefer in a game - more animation/movement in scenes, or more scenes/story in general? I guess quality or quantity, sort of? Interested in hearing any opinions! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #solodev #kickstarter
Focusing on making the game more and posting less haha, will have some big updates soon! I’ve painted over 1/3 of the 300+ scenes in the last few weeks :) In the meantime here’s some photos from the Bealtaine Festival at the Hill of Uisneach 🫶 #bealtaine #indiedev #gamedev
A spring lamb I painted for April featured in my indie game! The best part of quitting my job is having lots of time to go for walks in spring between development! #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #handdrawn #animation #noai #framebyframe

Not a bad day at the (self employed indie dev) office :p Recording sounds for the game in Wicklow Mountains National Park! #indiedev #gamedev #irishgamedev #fieldrecording
5 full days of work & the map for our Irish folklore game Bibdu is finally finished! Time to nap :) #handdrawn #indiedev #gamedev
Here’s the HUGE hand painted watercolour map for my game Bibdu! Made to the same scale as it will be on screen~ It took 3 days to sketch and paint and still missing some detail but happy to have it done to this level for now! #bibdu #ireland #indiedev #gamedev #handdrawn
Here’s what I’ve read researching side quests, language, potions etc making Bibdu! After an intense two weeks we are finally finished mapping out the game and quests AAAH!!! Details of individual books on my IG page (Bibdu.game) if interested! #gamedev #indiedev #irish #ireland #mythology
Just some games I’ve been playing recently & enjoyed! #Grimshire - Dark Stardew #MinamiLane - Short & Sweet #Bramble - Beautiful & Mythological #SlaythePrincess - Great writing #indiedev
Back in Ireland and working full time on my mythology game Bibdu! Finishing up the final quest list and mapping it all out during Solstice season has been very peaceful. Excited to get back to painting once this stage is complete! #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #handdrawn
Bibdu Game Update! I'm working on painting all the forests this week and @barrysdevhell.bsky.social has been working on our custom dialogue manager! In two weeks we will be moving back to Ireland for a few months and will have a small break from development to visit Japan yippee! #indiedev
I'm still alive and still working on the game ((everyday)) !! Guys please play our game when it comes out it's gonna be so good ((I hope & I dream))
On the back of giants. A quick scene while I am travelling :) there will be lots of ancient Irish giants to be discovered in Bibdu! #indiedev #gamedev #handdrawn
The hazelnut brings wisdom in folklore. This is how the salmon of knowledge came to be. When Boann ran away to a well, disobeying her husband, she found it swirling with 7 hazelnuts and magical salmon swimming in it. She walked around it seven times and summoned the River Boyne from within #indiedev
Irish Mythtober Day 8: Danu! The Paps of Anu, Co. Kerry are said to be the breasts of Danu, the mother of the Tuatha de Danann 🌞 #handdrawn #irishfolklore #indiedev #gamedev #irishgamedev
