Hey BlueSky! I'm Jonas, a solo indie game developer working on Space Scavenger 2!

I'm based in Sweden 🇸🇪 and worked at EA DICE from 2016-2023 on Battlefield and Star Wars games but I've been full-time indie since 2023!

Also, it would mean the world to me if you spread the word!

Well that's an improvement! Right? 6h of modelling and placing stuff in Unity made my Hub area feel a bit more alive and lived in! #gamedev #blender #indiedev #roguelite #SpaceScavenger #unity

Doing the coolest game jam of 2025 #jernjam, with @grap3j3llygames.bsky.social
I'm having fun with multimesh in Godot and modifying them with shaders! This is the animation I came up with to spawn the little island where the game is going to be played.

Read this thread if you're making a game trailer! Derek knows his stuff!

Derek Lieu - Game Trailer Editor @derek-lieu.com · Aug 17

I left little critiques on lots of game trailers so here's a thread with the most common issues (and additional reading) 🧵

1. Don't put logos at the start. It's just dead air that could be gameplay, which is 100000000X more interesting.

If you recognize it, it's because you reviewed the first game's trailer. I'm back with a sequel! 😅

Hey, not a bad idea! 😎Already made something for this guy now, but I'll keep that in mind for the next one, actually love that idea!👍

Jonas 🏡 Red Cabin Games @jonasholgersson.bsky.social · Aug 6

Added this lil' beginner enemy in like 40 minutes. Needs a new model with proper animations though! Any ideas for visuals? I'm thinking maybe a mix between a Hammerhead shark and a wood-louse?? 🦈🐛 #gamedev #indiedev #roguelite #gamescom2025 #solodev #videogame

The finality of it seems to be a fantasy.

Been loving the updates! One final thing I'd wish for is to have some cattle. Making transports more efficient with better roads and Donkeys for carrying sounds like a fun mid to late game upgrade!

If you buy the battlepass this is what Space Scavenger 2 will be like! 🤡 #gamedev #indiedev #roguelite
