New trailer, check it out. Shallow Pond is planned to release in 2027. Really had fun building that one.

Currently at gamescom and having a really good time with people playing the game.

@Lordricker Fulfilling that fantasy, trying to find an answer to that "what if?" question in one's head, right?

[Nimso 💦 Wishlist Shallow Pond @nimsodev]

What draws you to certain games?

And what keeps you going when making your own game?

Maybe it's the same fascination that drives us to create.

It's naive, but necessary, to follow that itch inside us. Even when we don't know where it leads.

@OtterYakuza Happy building to Zuka too!

[Nimso 💦 Wishlist Shallow Pond @nimsodev]

@futuretrev I know that feeling indeed!

[Nimso 💦 Wishlist Shallow Pond @nimsodev]

@BriThe3DGuy Thanks Brian! Well, yeah that really is important. I also see that myself when I play, even my own game. Satisfying game juice goes a long way, that's true.

@OtterYakuza hehe, well said!

[Nimso 💦 Wishlist Shallow Pond @nimsodev]

@MZaschitin So true!

[Nimso 💦 Wishlist Shallow Pond @nimsodev]

@JustJack_IndDev Aye!

[Nimso 💦 Wishlist Shallow Pond @nimsodev]

Believe in yourself and follow your passion. We only get one shot at life.

I want to keep doing what I love, even if I end up as old as a turtle along the way.

I'd rather spend my life chasing what makes me happy than meeting someone else's expectations.

@GameGlis I'm glad you agree 🙃

@ViragoUltrix Perfect!

[Nimso 💦 Wishlist Shallow Pond @nimsodev]

@ViragoUltrix Oh wow, thank you! And I wish the same for you and your own dreams, out of the same reasons ❤️

@SakuraBladArena makes it real on another level, somehow.

Recently, in another galaxy at Polaris Convention in Hamburg with my game Shallow Pond.

Still processing all the impressions from the event.

Fun times! Stressful, but incredibly rewarding to see so many different people playing my game.

@SakuraBladArena It really was! And yes, seeing people play and talking to them after they did was really well worth it!

@ViragoUltrix @GreeneRapture @Vaultbreakers_ @BetaDwarf @Ale_J_Andro Thanks Ultrix, glad all the love I pour into it shows through 🙂

@mazestalker Was a great experience!

[Nimso 💦 Wishlist Shallow Pond @nimsodev]

@Zero_A_games Thanks!

[Nimso 💦 Wishlist Shallow Pond @nimsodev]

One might argue that this level is still a bit rough around the edges 🙃

There's something exciting about starting a new level. A blank canvas, full of possibilities. Let's see where this one ends up!

@its_iio Thanks for noticing!

[Nimso 💦 Wishlist Shallow Pond @nimsodev]

Techy stuff! The improvements in this 1-minute video took me 2.5 days of tweaking and iterating.

Camera system, land/water transitions, collision handling. Lots of little changes that add up.

Feels even smoother now. Riiight? 🙃
