I got such a nostalgia from this ❤️. I'm now 9 months into a similar journey, staking my own path. I have learned so much. 🧠 No regrets. #indiedev #solodev #gamedev

[Base @baasbase]

I have just quit my job to pursue my dream of becoming a fulltime game developer 😊

Watch as @robertgrows creates a #PixelArt Christmas tree in timelapse form! Watch to the end to see it implemented in the game 🎄

Now this is huge! 😍

[Terraria🌳 @Terraria_Logic]

Re-Logic is very interested and supportive of this new direction for @MonoGameTeam - an open source project with so much potential. After our announcement earlier this week, we had many people asking us whether or not we would also choose to support Monogame.

We're all set up ahead of the first day of @BitSummit! #IndieGame #GameDev #indiedev

Myself on a hike. Challenged myself today to a face, only two layers, and only one brush.

Piece by piece I'll learn how to paint! 👀

Howdy #PitchYaGame 👋

In Horticular you have been magically summoned by mysterious gnomes to restore a long-lost garden. Attract adorable animals, build a lush environment, and immerse yourself in this relaxing garden-builder.

On my way back from @WASDlive_ . Slightly delayed.😅✈️

[Robert Kaufmann @robertgrows]

@projectmagisi @HorticularGame @WASDlive_ I hope you can make it! 😊 I'll be around all day in the booth for a chat if you do.

[Robert Kaufmann @robertgrows]

I'm the worst at the travel mini-game. Obsessing over all the details so I don't forget anything.

[Robert Kaufmann @robertgrows]

Just back from a local meet-up. Feels good to meet other game devs now and then, getting out of "the office"! 😊 #solodev #indiedev

@MikaelForslind For an EU trademark, it's not too difficult through their web interface. If you apply for the SME fund, you get a sweet cashback as well. Virtually free.

[Robert Kaufmann @robertgrows]

The first salary slip of @inDirectionHQ has gone out. Odd feeling to be the one sending it, I must say! 😅

[Robert Kaufmann @robertgrows]

A stressful week with the first demo of @HorticularGame going out. But having the public playing for the first time makes it worth it! 💛

Time to plan 2023...

Happy Friday from the inDirection office. Small but cozy! 😬
