KennyMakesGames@kennymakesgames· 27d

Missed one :D

KennyMakesGames@kennymakesgames· 27d

The first demo for Cult of PiN went up on @itch.io on 20th Aug 2024, almost exactly two years ago. Here's a few grabs I found of the first table as it progressed. A MASSIVE thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way. Only 23 days to go! #indiedev #solodev #pinball #gamedev

After 2 years of work, I can now announce Cult of PiN will be coming to PC on August 10th! A Pinball Roguelike where you smash bumpers, collect upgrades and overcome gravity-defying bosses Wishlist Cult of PiN on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3144340/Cult_of_PiN #indiegames #pinball #pcgaming

Endless mode gets a bit… wild after a while. maybe time for a balance pass. #indiedev #pinball #gamedev #roguelike

KennyMakesGames@kennymakesgames· May 20

Fans of pinball + languages other than english are hopefully in for a pleasant surprise in the next update #gamedev #pinball #pcgaming #indiedev

More Boss Spells/Shader work tonight: chains that pull balls back towards the drain if they get too far. #pinball #indiedev #gamedev #roguelike

KennyMakesGames@kennymakesgames· May 8

Ended up working on a shader that only shows the area directly around an active ball, will likely be a boss spell/debuff in the next build #pinball #indiedev #gamedev #roguelike

KennyMakesGames@kennymakesgames· May 6

New trailer time! Finally got the time to piece together some clips of the new content and replace the almost 12-month old trailer that was up on steam. This is just a short teaser trailer for now, the full vid & launch date will be revealed soon... #gamedev #indiedev #pinball #roguelike

KennyMakesGames@kennymakesgames· May 5

It's been waaay longer than I'd have liked since my last update, however I'm back with a new demo update, alongside some release date news for Cult of PiN. steamcommunity.com/app/3144340/... #gamedev #pinball #roguelike #indiedev

A screenshot of the roguelite pinball game "Cult of PiN," showing the round, red-felted pinball table viewed from an elevated front angle. The table's outer rim is a thick black band studded with outward-pointing spikes. The surface is densely populated with circular, glowing bumpers of different colors: a top section of gold and red bumpers, and a main central section of teal bumpers with a distinctive stylized star motif. At the center of the teal bumpers sits a unique, black, segmented pod that looks like a simplified version of the spiky table edge. A orange pinball is currently bouncing off the upper left section of bumpers, triggering visible particle effects and the floating text "+1x MULT" multiplied in three places above the impact. Below the bottom pair of black flippers, a simple cartoon eyeball with tiny black pupils stares upward. At the very top, text says "BONUS TABLE," and the full in-game HUD lines the edges of the screen, displaying details like score (4,080), multiplier (12.00), life count (2), and various status effect icons. In the top-right corner, a red-skull icon and "ACT II" indicate progression. The bottom-right section displays the controller bindings for plunger, flippers, and nudge. At the top of the table area, a large, horizontal red health bar stretches across the spiky rim. The overall art style is clean and geometric, with highly contrasted, vibrant neon glows against a dark, saturated red and black background.

New screenshots going up on Steam, with a new trailer to follow in a week or so, shortly followed by release date announcement. Big fun scary times ahead. #pinball #solodev #indiedev #roguelike #steamdeck

Simple command to check the number of commits on the main branch of your project in git terminal: git rev-list --count HEAD Utterly useless, yet wierdly interesting stat. 1026 commits after 18 months of work. Would love to know what other #solodev folk are at? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev

KennyMakesGames@kennymakesgames· Feb 17

Table 3 coming along nicely. Tbh after months of pretty much exclusively programming it feels great to be making pretty-looking weird stuff again. #indiegames #indiegamedev #pinball

KennyMakesGames@kennymakesgames· Feb 16

After 316 reviews on @itch.io, I got what I believe is my first 1-star. Proud to have made it this far but if you're going to do this please, PLEASE god leave some kind of feedback - without it I have absolutely no idea what to improve to make it a 2+ Star game🤷‍♂️ #indiegamedev #gamedev #solodev

KennyMakesGames@kennymakesgames· Feb 15

Following on from yesterday's day of polish, here's some beauty shots of Tables 1, 2 and 3. Table 3 is still very WIP but getting there, and soon will be moving onto move onto the final table! I'm so.. damn.. close!! #indiegames #gamedev #pinball

KennyMakesGames@kennymakesgames· Feb 14

Working on the second table boss this #ScreenshotSaturday - adding infra for spell-like abilities for the bosses since - as hard as they are - they were all still a *bit* samey. Polishing the visuals. Feedback welcome! #gamedev #indeigames #pinball

KennyMakesGames@kennymakesgames· Feb 9

I'm embracing the upper-management side of being a #solodev by using barely-legible red pen to criticise the work I did in the past while giving future-me a load of extra work that really I don't have bandwidth for. All while using the word 'bandwidth' - nailed it. #indiedev #gamedev #pinball

KennyMakesGames@kennymakesgames· Feb 7

Not an in-game grab for #ScreenshotSaturday, instead a WIP of the revised playfield art for the third table. I swear this will all make sense when I can show off the whole damn thing. Almost there. #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #pinball

KennyMakesGames@kennymakesgames· Nov 20

This gave me all the feels right here - and exactly why I want to just keep making games forever! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegames

Arigatō you random, probably poorly-translated Japanese review! #gamedev #indiegames #pinball #gaming

KennyMakesGames@kennymakesgames· Nov 7

This just started showing on the SteamDB page, not sure what it means but it’s numbers, and big numbers are good right? Right? #indiedev #gamedev #Steam #indiegames

KennyMakesGames@kennymakesgames· Nov 5

As a fully grown adult, being at #420 on #Steam popular demos should not have brought me this much joy. #indiegames #gamedev #gaming

KennyMakesGames@kennymakesgames· Oct 25

Cult of PiN v0.9.6 is up on @itch.io and #Steam if anyone has nothing better to do this weekend. Physics, curses, bumpers and scores all got a revamp this week. Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3144340 Itch: kennymakesgames.itch.io/pin #indiegames #demos #pinball #gamedev

KennyMakesGames@kennymakesgames· Oct 18

Reworking the curse feature for this weeks #ScreeenshotSaturday, making them much more horrible, but at least now you get to pick which horrible thing happens. These also now replace the Blessing reward for the respective Act. Sorry but hey, it was too easy right? Right? #indiedev #gamedev #pinball

KennyMakesGames@kennymakesgames· Oct 12

TIL the original Defender Of The Crown wasn’t programmed, it was computographed

KennyMakesGames@kennymakesgames· Sep 17

The only good think about obsessively refreshing the Wishlist view is that you get to catch moments like this. Thank you x4000 to you each of these wonderful people! #gamedev #steam #indiegamedev #indiedev #solodev
