Ascend was inspired by Disney Dreamlight Valley! <3 Can you see it? 👀

After running developer interviews with the team (coming soon!), we noticed that the Leo puzzle is a favourite! We dug a bit deeper, and it really shows, making a tight puzzle which shows the gameplay loop also makes it fun to work on together! 💜

Looking for someone who can help with branding and logo design! Theme is British 80s ✨
Please get in touch or point me to someone who might be able to support! Reposts appreciated!
As Ascend is inspired by so many ps2 games and mechanics we HAD to do this! #indiegame #gamedev #ps2
The Sleeping Beauty castle at Disneyland Paris
The Sorcerer's Apprentice Mickey in front of Animation Celebration
The Hollywood Tower of Terror
The entrance to Disneyland Paris, covered in festive decorations
There are three things guaranteed in life: death, taxes, and child-free couples in their late 30s going to Disneyland Paris during term time
I think it’s time to move to Sweden! 🇸🇪
We had a retrospective last week that went SO well. Next up is making actions and thinking how to tackle them process wise.
Plan is to create small prototypes and improve how we make games. Sounds easy… 👀
Hey! I use Miro for my boards :) there’s a free version for up to three boards I believe
It’s been so fun creating new ideas for future prototypes! This one, I’m super excited for the theme and idea and learn more about Unreal Engine. AND ITS PINK! AND ITS FULL OF ANIME REFERENCES! 😱

Had such a great time showing off Ascend last night at a local game dev event!
Also means a lot of bug fixing this weekend 😭

Fabraz Producer Banner
Excited to announce the start of our Producer Program at Fabraz!
As producers we assist games financially, act as general advisors and help the devs to get the game out there with as little friction as possible!
Check the thread below for the three games involved so far! ❤️
GDC informa survey of the industry with the question "From your perspective, what is responsible for the rise in layoffs in the game industry?" and the answer "The economy is heading south so people are battening down the hatches. Money continues to flow upwards and consolidate in fewer hands, leaving the rest to fight for crumbs and fold. The promise of cheap labor - whether it's AI or offshoring - combines with the pressures of our capitalist system on infinite growth and competing for ever larger slices of the pie to keep costs down. The business chases profit to the point where our industry seeks out the lowest cost methods to produce the most revenue, sacrificing quality in favor quantity and a sweatshop approach to development. Funding sources have dried up, with fewer investors or publishers willing to fund a game through completion and instead pulling out partway, leaving teams abandoned with incomplete games and no money to finish them. What funding exists requires significant investment on the side of the creators in the first place - money that, again, is not available except for very few - or is dedicated toward the AI bubble, incentivizing companies to go all-in on a technology that requires them to destroy our own labor market."
man I dunno this is just off the top of my head, probably missed some things
Would something for students and those going into the industry for the first time, to support on setting up Steam, NDAs, contracts, production support etc. Would this be useful for first time devs and for free?
What would you have wished you’d known at the beginning?

Super excited for Steam Next Fest! Looking to play as many demos as I can this week in my evenings to leave feedback and steam reviews.
It helped us so much when we participated in Junes fest.
Link me below if there’s anything you’d like me to try!

I thought I was the only one feeling the immense intensity of *everything* that’s going on right now. I’m deeply tired and I hope you’re doing ok.
We are adding Swimming back into the game, and our first bug is launching Aurora into the sky! Oh no.. #indiedev #ue5 #gamedev #swimming #fantasy #puzzlegame #puzzle #zodiac
Can you pet the Yak🐃? Yes, yes you can...
