Game dev building Kingdom in Pieces @BontempsGames and @CastleDoombad. I also stream on Twitch, where I turn simple tasks into new bugs. Come hang out!

Day 2 is a recommendation for any unity dev out there!

My absolute favorite asset is the Dialogue System from @PixelCrushin. It saved our lives when we were making our first game, and it comes with a neat save system!

Definitely go check it out 🤓

We’re baaack!!! We fixed the bug that stopped us from recording last week’s recap, so here’s where we’re at now. The keyword for this #screenshotsaturday is multiplayer!

It’s my birthday today, and all I want is for people to share the chess inspired game I’ve been working on with my friend.

It’s called Kingdom in Pieces!

That would be the best gift 🎁

[Bontemps Games ⚒️ WTIH out now! @BontempsGames]

Woke up to the kindest comment today. Moments like this remind me why I love making games in the first place 🫶

[Bontemps Games ⚒️ WTIH out now! @BontempsGames]

We'll be late on our usual dev recap because I ran into a huge bug while trying to record the progress... Gamedev ❤️

In the meantime, enjoy this donkey we finished yesterday!

Another week another devlog on Kingdom in Pieces, the chess-inspired game we're working on.

This time we're trying out a new format for this weekly recap, and we have some really cool updates to share with you!

Me: Just going to do this quick refactor. Should only take a minute.
Unity: 154 errors summoned

[Raúl Ibarra @croa_san]

Imagine not using AI, just keyframes, patience and too much coffee.

[Plarnaud @itsplarnaud]

If you're a fellow dev trying to release a game, or you ever want to work in games... don't do this.

I promise you there is such a thing as bad advertisement and putting mean girl comments under other devs videos does not help you.

[Zoroarts 🦈 Paddle Paddle Paddle OUT NOW @Zoroarts]

POV: You are a 23 years old solodev and your second game was sold 130,000 times, so you decide to Jump on a podcast and share how you developed, marketed and released the game…

And then you read comments like this 😅 Even from another dev…

[Plarnaud @itsplarnaud]

A group of kind people trusted me enough to help me release a cozy RPG about a blacksmith 🤗

[Afolabi Sokeye 🧱 @SokeyeA]

What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

We just received a voice actor reel and it’s such a cool feeling hearing some of our characters come to life.

Huge thanks to @tomgilvearva for the amazing performance. Go check out their profile, they did an incredible job.

Meet the Doctor!

One of the Dark Wizard’s earliest creations. It was built from a surgeon’s remains and reshaped with insect-like arms built for precision. With his help, Varnak’s army grew faster than the humans could prepare for.

Each of these minis has its own little story, and finding ways to show that in a still pose is so fun! It definitely makes us respect even more the artists who design plastic minis for tabletop.

Devlog 8!

I moved to a new place this week so I wasn’t as productive! We did add our first villain piece though, so now’s the perfect time to share our vision for them 👀

Got an idea for a cool villain to join the ranks of the dark wizard’s army?

When you're an indie game studio with no marketing budget so you try unorthodox methods to appease the algorithm gods. If you see this, the Elders smiled. Drop an emoji as tribute! 🙏
