Game development is a wild ride - some days everything clicks, and other days it crawls at a snail’s pace. But that’s just how it goes, right? Keep pushing forward! 🙃💪🤞 #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #cozy #wishlistwednesday #underwater

Working on the underwater movement and interaction system 💦🤿 What would you do down there? I'm thinking of bigger underwater areas, now that he can swim like a penguin! 🐧🙂 #indiedev #gamedev #unrealengine #indiegame #thursdayvibes #gamedevlife #gamedesign

I often hear that people like my positive attitude. I'm not faking it - I really do try to stay positive, even when it's tough. I believe it would be even harder without that mindset. How do you manage to stay positive? 🌞 #gamedev #indiedev #cozygame #wishlistwednesday #cozy

The game has become a bit faster-paced, but you can control the pace through your playstyle. I also had my first speedrunner test it, which was a lot of fun to watch. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #trailertuesday #cozy

The new BouncePad has more juice and purpose. Ripples can perform a basic jump off it, but when you Stomp - that’s when the real push happens. Honor today’s #wishlistwednesday and help a #solodev out with some kindness - wishlist the game 😉. #gamedev #cozy #indiegame

Do you get help from others, even if you're solo? I've come to really value the input from my gamedev friends - it makes a huge difference every day. My game wouldn't be anywhere near where it is now without their help ❤️. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #ue5 #gamedesign #cozy

The sinking platforms in the Demo of Shallow Pond were a challenge for one of my best testers (my daughter, 7 l). so I built two Checkpoint platforms for her. #gamedev #indiegame #platformer #sundayvibes

End of December I had a very nice playthrough of the Demo and interview by Pirate Software . Later this part was put online as a separate video, highly appreciated. Thanks, Thor! Here's a snippet, the link to the video is in the comments. #solodev #cozygame #indiegame #cute

I've got a question for you fellow gamedevs: How do you plan your levels? Paper, clay, lego, in engine/3d, greyboxing, etc.? I'd love to know. Ripples says hi, btw! 😁 #gamedev #leveldesign #cute #cozy #indiedev #gamedesign #solodev #wishlistwednesday

I'm naive to think that a single person can create a game on their own. But honestly, I don't care. Life is complicated, and becoming good at anything is no different. How do you cope with the constant feeling that disaster is always lurking? 🔥🙃 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

How do you manage online distractions and reduce smartphone usage? I've started using apps to limit access to distracting apps, and it's been a big help. Would love to hear how you cope with it! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #cozy #distractions

Ideas are worthless on their own 💡. They may seem bright and exciting at first, but they change as you work on them, evolving into something real. Turning an idea into a finished product takes time - lots of it. Wishlist? 🙃 #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #wishlistwednesday

I let the diver jump and swim some more to try another audio track. The more audio styles I explore, the more I realize how many options there are for different scenarios. How do you test audio in your game? #indiedev #devlog #wednesdayfeelings #UnrealEngine #gaming #gamedev
