- Are you a dev making a "Fake OS", Interface based game a la Her Story, The Operator, Desktop Explorer... or Imprinted? : D We are organizing a dedicated steam sale and would love to include your game as well!! forms.gle/5G4uSLroqq7r...
- This is amazing 😍 Just a tad too soon for me but I really hope this takes off and can be repeated in the future 🥳

- Fable will make so many people happy and will make waves in ways that will shut the bigots and "hashtag gamerz" right up. I think the systemic fun and whimsy from emergent storytelling will outweigh and even drown out the haters.
- Aus (leider stets) gegebenem Anlass 😞🖤

- I feel you and also have moral discussions in my family (different context of course). I applaud your willingness to keep communication open 👏 and wish for you to succeed! I also find it so so mind boggling that so many people have the hardest time even imagining a better (let alone perfect) world.
- I have switched to Linux as my main OS over 6 months ago after 30 years of using Windows. Would you be interested in seeing a short video on how I made the switch and what to expect if you plan to switch from a game developer perspective?
- Since I am contemplating the switch for myself daily, I would be interested a lot 🙂↕️

- I guess Ferdium also "just" collects webapps in a single client. Not aware of a unified chat frontend
- I think I broke the story for my game today on a gondola ride while skiing in the Dolomites 🚡⛷️🏔️ Crazy how snowy mountains got me thinking about my puzzle game set in a cubicle office #solodev #gamedev

- In 2026, I want to get a demo for *the project* ™️ done 😎 I'll show you the progress very soon 🥳

- Yeah, even though I planned in the save system quite early in development, it still takes some serious refactoring. I try to see it as a big review since I have to look at every system again from a different perspective 😅

- Bricked in Austria as well

- And they say a utopia is impossible ✨
- I created a shader for the in-game OS to look like an old CRT screen. With slight curvature, chromatic aberration and scan lines. But since this will be a big part of gameplay, I didn't want to sacrifice all the readability and really toned it down. UI text and colors are all WiP #solodev #indiedev
- The vibe doesn't stop on the edge of the screen ofc 🧑💻

- Sure would love to be a part of this ❤️

- @liamflannery.bsky.social Hi Liam, fellow game dev here Congrats on the Steam Page, Factory 95 looks great 🎉 I'm working on a game with a similar vibe and curious bout your icons. Did you create them yourself, are they actual Win95 icons? Appreciate it if you'd share your approache 😇 All the best ❤️

- Genau mein Halloween Content 💀

- Great talk by @akjarosz.bsky.social about the journey of a solo developer at @gamedevgraz.bsky.social Always encouraging to hear similar stories from the local game dev community ❤️

- I have not when it was a subscription. I have often wished for the posibility to only pay for a single article instead of a subscription. A "pay per read" so to speak.
- 🧵 It's definitely challenging to work on a game next to a full-time job. Finding time to work on it while also living a private life is a constant weighing of priorities. I'm trying to see the upsides as well though. 1/3

- It's definitely a danger. Scoping the design for myself and only myself was the a must from the get-go. Guess I'm lucky that apart from wanting to doing it right, I also want to *really* get it done and make progress. I can't wait to have something to show for and that keeps me from feature creeping
- The big one is of course that my financial wellbeing is not dependent on this being a success. And that means, I *can* take my time with getting this right! Demo out this year? Nope - I'll only show some screenshots to friends and colleagues. 2/3
- Pitching to publishers? - Nah get it where it needs to be first. It may take longer but I also have the freedom to make plans, use being forced into a longer timeline for a more measured approach. Take a run-up and when I have my trailer and my demo raedy, I'll soar #solodev #gamedev #indiegame 3/3

- Leechtick had the biggest "ETF ewwwww" reaction here, but so far Eyeoctopus takes the top spot as well 😁

- Was sind die heißen Lahmacun Spots in Graz? 🤤 War heute selbst beim Beyti Grillhaus und bin sehr zufrieden wieder gegangen - auch wegen der megalieben Bedienung 👍
- Ich verstehe nicht, warum es kaum jemandem gelingt, jetzt einfach zu sagen: "Ich habe mich von der anti-woke-Bewegung ein bisschen einwickeln lassen, ich finde noch immer, dass man bestimmte linke Übertreibungen kritisieren soll, aber die wahre Gefahr kommt jetzt natürlich von der anderen Seite."

- Mitte macht mittlere Dinge
- What was I thinking making a game whith the majority of the gameplay happening *inside* UI?
- Some nice refactoring and code robustness added to the in-game file manager today #UnrealEngine5 #solodev #gamedev
- It's been a while since I've done this, and the world is bleak - so we can all use a little art & creativity. What is everyone creating nowadays? Games, art, music, video, writing, anything - whether it is early, almost done, or just shipped. Feel free to include trailers, images, links - whatever.
- Current game project is still to raw to show 🤫 But I build my own DM screen on the weekend with magnetic whiteboard plates for full control and a nice fake leather outside 🤌 Made some velcro hinges so I can do a four and three-side layout
- I just started a list of awesome solo #indiedevs you can follow! go.bsky.app/FsTnmYb P.s. if you want me to add you to the list, please comment or DM! 💜at://did:plc:hnhexhbyacbcm7hzo6cl5lcj/app.bsky.graph.starterpack/3ll4mbfxfeo2y

- Thank you so much <3
- Hi 😇 Would love to get added. I'm a solo dev from Austria working on my game after my day job is over 😬
- Show me four GAMES that influenced YOUR current games project!
- So I'm creating this in-game desktop environment and I've been scratching my head about how I can create many different types of "files" in a semi dynamic way, but at least in a way that can be easily edited and extended. Instanced Structs really have saved me here! #SoloDev #UE5 #UnrealEngine
