An image of eight explorers representing the eight dev team members, plus a CHARLI bot on the end, all smiling and chatting to each other. From left to right, Ruby has curly red hair and a fluffy cardigan, Sai has short black hair and dark clothes. Kat has shoulder-length dark hair and a red jumper under a jacket, Logan has midlength ginger hair and green jacket, Care has long light brown hair and a blue hoodie, Cass has shoulder-length dark hair and a fluffy cardigan, Evan has no hair and a brown jacket, and Jevon has blue hair and a purple sweater. On the further right end is CHARLI bot, smiling happily. They are all poking out from different edges of the Adaptory logo, over a starry nebula background.

An adorable image of explorers inside a very well-constructed base, one of them working away on a computer, two other chatting in a doorway, surrounded by sparse furniture, including a pinboard or notes and pictures, and a trunk for equipment. In the center of the image, text reads "Adaptory Release Date Announcement".

#Devmas with #Adaptory - Day 10

We’ve had an incredible year sharing Adaptory all around the world at events like Gamescom and PAX, but of course our huge milestone for 2025 was announcing our #earlyaccess release date - January 26th 2026!

Do you think if we sent the explorers a copy of Adaptory as a secret santa gift, they would find a way home faster? And maybe chuck some transmitite in there for good measure!

#Devmas with #Adaptory - Day 8

It’s tough to pick a best placeholder, but for a game with no combat, the most ironic would be from very early development, when every item you uncovered in Adaptory was a sword.

#DEVMAS December 19th - BEST PLACEHOLDER

I figured WORST PLACEHOLDER could still be valid, so I'd like to resurrect evil Sendy - the placeholder for the animation system that I put together to test things out #indiegames

sometimes you don't realize a placeholder is a placeholder until you decide something else shoulda gone in that place

There are lots of references to animal ancestors in Toroa: Skycall, Old Blue is one of them! Bird nerds will already know this of course but Karure would have gone extinct if it wasn't for Old Blue 💙

Today's #DEVMAS is about looping gifs, which is the EASIEST possible prompt for us because Shape Sender Deluxe already has a perfectly looping gif export!

All these moving elements make a flawless endless GIF tricky, but here is a lovely view of a smooth water system cycling between regular view and our liquid overlay. Thanks to Cathlia for posing so long.

A very rough sketch of the original explorer design, featuring a figure in a nondescript robe or dress, posed in different angles; looking ahead, neutral, sideways, and facing away.

A page covered in multiple concept drawings to work out the anatomy of the explorers. What kind of eyes, limbs, body structure, hands, and feet would work best for Adaptory’s desired style.

A screenshot of the character selection screen at the start of a new game, featuring four explorers, now fully animated with cool outfits, different hairstyles and colours, and a uniquely adorable style.

#Devmas with #Adaptory - Day 5

From the dev’s brain, to the artist’s hands, and now fully realised in the game, our little explorers have been through a lot of transformation to achieve peak practical cuteness.

I think today is a great day to join in on 12 days of #DEVMAS because today we're celebrating the beauty of CONCEPT ART (plus "Best Placeholder" on the 20th) so come join in!

For us, I wanted to share some of @grubkiss.bsky.social's early Sendy concepts - imagine if Sendy was a triangle???

#Devmas with #Adaptory - Day 4

What got cut? Dear explorers, our solo dev Jevon briefly considered… making all the explorers bees.

I feel personally attacked by this cut, and will be airing my grievances at the next team meeting. We could’ve had SPACE BEES!! 🥺🐝
