Rough animation of a generic Sword-fighter that probably will not be used in a game that is unlikely to be released. Already like the impact though, what do you think? #gamedev #gameanimation #lowpoly #prototype #fantasy #knight #bigsword #indiegamedev

True. We have bigger grids and creating an icosahedron is the win condition in level 23 ;)

Platonic, archimedean and some johnson-solids. Super happy anyone else is excited about polyhedra) If you want to give it a try, I’ll post a iOS testflight link later today.

You can create all kinds of pyramids, 30 solids in total.

How to spend a Sunday evening before the release of our mobile game nGon - fixing bugs, enhancing animation, or… adding a definitely super crucial rotating headphone. #audioisimportant #lowpoly #headphones #gamedev #indiedev #mobilegamedev #nGon #upcoming

Any suggestions for a #bright #colorscheme? I’m happy with our selection but can’t come up with anything brighter than dark blue :) #nGon #mobilegame #matchthree #platonicsolids #geometry #gamedev #brightcolors #yesimcolorblindsowhat

Still underestimating the time level design takes. Anyway, how do you like the level selection of our upcoming #mobilegame #nGon? #gamedev #mobiledev #puzzelgame #geometry #mathematics @fgrolig.bsky.social @benjamin-rose.bsky.social @smplgames.bsky.social
