🎮 Working with fellow devs has its perks! Right now, the big one is having people to try my tutorial. It's eye-opening-what I thought was obvious gets overlooked, and random world-building details steal the focus. Sometimes a fallen tree is just a tree! 🌲 #GameDev #IndieDev

🎨 Here is one of the characters sprucing up the background with some wall art🕵️‍♂️ I have been focusing on the first puzzle in my game, and adding a tutorial system in. Much harder to show Puzzle progress without giving it all away though. 🚀 #GameDev #IndieDev #Puzzles

🧩 Making some good progress so far! 🎮 After adding some basic camera controls, I dove into the puzzle aspect of the game
Right now you can click characters to fill the gaps and unfold the story. The order you find them isn't an issue, just need to find them all #GameDev #WIP

🎭 The heart of game design joy for me lies in these little scenes, like characters just hanging out. 🤣 Not everyone may notice, but crafting these moments brings immense joy to the process. 🎮 #GameDesign #JoyfulMoments #Storytelling

[Nick Barnett 👻 @theNickBarnett]

🌳 Thought putting together a scene wouldbe a walk in the park, but putting mushrooms and plants around everywhere and hand and crafting this scene is an adventure of its own. 🚶‍♂️ Excited to share the joys of game development! 🎮 #GameDev #ParkScene #CreativeJourney
