We just launched a mega update for Kick Bastards!!

It features a new stage 'The Beach' that has new levels, enemies, challenges and hazards! It's really cool and good and worth checking out!!

If you haven't picked up the game yet it's also 30% off rn so go get it!

Steam: bit.ly/KickBastards-Steam

Honestly there has never been a better time to pick up Kick Bastards, we've put out a couple great updates this year and the game is better than ever + it is 30% off right now on Steam!
You can (and should!!) get it here: store.steampowered.com/app/1737400

couple more shots from another build

Works reasonably well on Steam Deck too if you grab a community controller profile. I don't have any complaints about the game only have minor stuff that I think would be cool for future patches, like paths being auto extended if you draw them to the border and a random item tool

Very much enjoy the process of walking/ flying around after building a thing looking for nice photographs. It feels very much like the experience irl photography. Also enjoy switching the build into all the other themes once it's done just for fun. I recommend it if you haven't checked it out

I played basically no games last year so I'm trying to play way more this year. Tiny Glade by @anopara.bsky.social is the first game that's connected with me so far. It gets the balance just right between player choice and the procedural assists, currently the stand out in the emerging genre imo

v good post, for me creating art is messy and experimental and the rigid structure of programming (and formal game design practices too) really work against me. in all my other non game dev arty stuff I morph and adjust my process with the art so makes sense for that to be the same for games too

We're almost 90% to the goal for @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social's Dreams on a Pillow - a game about Palestine, made by a Palestinian, literally risking his life under violent apartheid to make this game and tell this suppressed story.

8 days left. Please help him out.

I think it's technically illegal to make a game where you play as a snake if it doesn't grow as you eat stuff (might have bumped the numbers a tiny lil bit for the clip)

🙏🦵🙏

I've been really focusing a lot of my efforts so far into making the raw gameplay feel sublime but I've recently started working on some more gamey systemsy stuff so it's actually turning into a real game now

I've updated the camera position in big scary snake monster game and now the game is feeling quite a bit more dynamic and 'in the action' #gamedev

With Hogmanay it seemed like a good time to signal boost to the gamedevs of my adopted home, Scotland.

If you're a Scotland-based or Scotland-born gamedev drop your name in the replies to be added (only self-nominations thanks folks).

Reposts welcome & HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🙌🏻

I'm an adhd indie dev :) made a game called Kick Bastards with my also adhd brother and I'm now in the early stages of working on a couple new games

Yeah still early days, haven't done much play testing yet but will for sure see how people feel and do some tweaks

Hmm I think all I do is just quickly zoom the camera ever so slightly in and out but I did implement it a little while ago

slithering and munching in my snake game is really fun now ngl #gamedev #indiedev

Idk exactly where this will go but for now if you want to be updated when I put out a demo and stuff, sign up to my newsletter: www.ssgames.co.uk/newsletter-s...

Messing around with the idea of making a big snake game
