- Like ambient music? Like video game OSTs? How about a nice shared spreadsheet with video game ambient OSTs recommended by the folks at r/ambientmusic? www.reddit.com/r/ambientmus... (They gave me so many recs that we collated it all into a public resource.) #games #videogames #ambient #music
- Part 2 is dropping soon and is chocka with great stories, unknown facts and insights. Not just on movie tie-ins but games as well. Can't stress enough how lovely it was to do this interview with the man. #sci-fi #scifi #games #videogames #starwars #startrek #alien #author #books.
- Recently @rudolfkremers.bsky.social had the honour of interviewing legendary sci-fi author Alan Dean Foster to talk about his inspirations, an unreleased Alien sequel, and MUCH more! #Alien #Scifi #Author #Books
- Hey all, we shipped an anniversary edition of our indie RTS Eufloria last week: store.steampowered.com/app/3254570/... New game modes & music, free/dirt cheap to owners of the 2009 game. Unlisted for years; this new version fixes that & brings modding back. :-) #indiegames #rts #strategy #games
- If you already nabbed a copy, we would be SUPER GRATEFUL if you leave a review. This is often the best way to support your local indie :-) #indiegames #videogames
- This was a really interesting thing to work on. Still see many games struggle with RTS & other pc-centric controls to console/joypad, so we decided to share what we learned, design docs & build included, so other people can benefit from our efforts. #gamedev #gamedesign #rts #indiegames
- In this episode of Looking Back at the Future, we revisit a 2019 presentation @rudolfkremers.bsky.social made that challenged one of the biggest myths in game design: that real-time strategy controls can’t work on a console gamepad. #IndieGameDev #IndieGames #RTS www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9sp...
- Damnit, Noita is rather amazing. My type of game.
- This turned out really well. I love that there are super committed gamers out there who put together these kinds of deep dives in their spare time. This project was quite a ride btw. Many stories that I can't share in public haha. #gamedev #gameshistory #playstation #retrogames
- In 2003, @rudolfkremers.bsky.social was lead level designer on a stealth game called Stolen. To say it had a "storied" development is a huge understatement, so when @freeckycake.bsky.social reached out about a video essay they were working on we were more than happy to help out. #IndieGameDev
- Reposted by Rudolf KremersNumber go up 😭 Thank you so much for all the new wishlists we've gotten since releasing the demo for Eufloria Classic, it means the world to us! - store.steampowered.com/app/3254570/... #IndieGames #IndieGameDev #IndieDev
- Hmm forgot to eat today. Concerning...
- If you want to try out a somewhat unique, classic 4X/RTS game, we are in Steam Next Fest! store.steampowered.com/app/3254570/... It's an anniversary release of our indie debut game, but with cool new content & modding. #nextfest #indiegames #strategy #rts #games #steam #videogames
- New game modes, music, expanded modding options, etc. I'm having a blast making new stuff for it. Support your local indie! (Please) Oh and it's free if you own Eufloria already.
- If you want to have a laugh and read a grumpy manifesto explaining our philosophy of just making earnest valuable content in a world that is in danger of being strangled by evil corporatist you can do so right here. #evilempire #gamedev #media #indiegames #videogames #marketing
- We've been posting videos from our Game Invention channel, and recently we kicked off the revamped newsletter, but what exactly IS Game Invention? Here's a blog post from @rudolfkremers.bsky.social answering that question, as well as why we created Game Invention in the first place. #IndieGames
- Evil Laser Pod Devastates Asteroid Seedlings. Always fun when one's game creates these little unexpected scenarios. #gamedev #indiegames #games
- While working on levels for Eufloria Classic, @rudolfkremers.bsky.social discovered something really interesting about one of the asteroids... Try the Eufloria Classic demo here! - store.steampowered.com/app/3254570/... #IndieGameDev #IndieGames #VideoGames
- Made a new Eufloria Classic mod where players CAN control other empires, BUT they also act independently, so they will fight & expand. Their base is always safe, so no team will "win". This allows constant "gardening" & it's fun to tinker with or just watch. #cozy #games #indiegames #leveldesign
- I should post some footage really. It is very pretty.

- Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...
- Save the trees. Please! #indiegames
- In Eufloria Classic there is a brand new mode called Regrowth, where your trees can grow old and die. You can learn more about the mode in this deep dive video @rudolfkremers.bsky.social made! - www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xEK... #IndieGames #IndieGameDev #Retro
- We're getting close to the final call for our beta test! If you want to be involved in helping us squash bugs in #Eufloria Classic, you can join our Discord server right now and join in: discord.gg/uzuVmGdgZB #betatest #indiegame #openbeta
- Watch me abuse my own game and suffer the consequences. Emergent gameplay is becoming more and more... errr... emergent? No Enraging Stink Lizard recipe yet. That is in the next edition. #gamedev #gamedesign #gameplay #indiegames #games www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvx2...
- In part 2 of our Bioframe Outpost deep dive, @rudolfkremers.bsky.social shows off some of the more complex systems and interactions in the game, as well as some more of the emergent gameplay! #IndieGameDev #GameDevelopment #VideoGames www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvx2...
- Support your local indie yo! (My kids loved these games)
- I'm very happy with my puzzle editor and Steam Workshop integration! 😊 Wishlist Piczle World of Puzzles now! 🙏 store.steampowered.com/app/2174300/... #hanjie #お絵かきロジック #イラストロジック #puzzle #logicpuzzle #nonogram #indiegamedev #solodev #madewithunreal
- I'm looking for examples of lesser known, prolific indie devs & pubs that are quietly successful at putting out a lot of content within their brand or style. store.steampowered.com/search/?deve... is a good example. Who else is out there in a similar mode? #indiegames #games #videogames
- Somehow our YouTube channel is coming close to 25k subscribers! Expect more videos of various game dev related flavours as we grow bigger. :-)

- We actually have some modding veterans on our Discord right now looking to reboot Eufloria modding, so if you like this kind of thing come over. The water is nice! #indiegames #modding #leveldesign #gamedev #gamedesign
- One thing we wanted to focus on in #Eufloria Classic was modding, and having a modern Eufloria release with full access to modding and scripting tools. Here's a snapshot of us testing custom levels, made entirely with Lua. Wishlist Eufloria Classic now: store.steampowered.com/app/3254570/...
- This was a lot of fun to create. The gardening mode allows players to control enemy factions, but of course there are limitations to that and the truce/peace can break down, after which all hell can break loose. #gamedev #indiegames #rts #space #gardening
- Our test level for #Eufloria Classic's gardening mode. The mode's goal is to restore peace, rather than conquer. Here, you have to set up a supply line from far away asteroids, to keep control of the central fortification. Wishlist Eufloria Classic now: store.steampowered.com/app/3254570/...
