Currently developing 'Where The Flock!?' - a 2D puzzle-strategy game about saving a herd of sheep from a dangerous mountain. It's cozy, but violent.

Finally got a parallax couple of layers that I'm "ok" with for the final zone of my upcoming game - "Where the Flock". I've said it 1000 times - art is not my forte. What do you guys think? does it look ok?

So after an unsuccessful hunt for a Pixel Artist collaborator, I'm once again doing it myself. Below my FIRST attempt for a Lumber Mill tileset, and now my FINAL version (I think...). What do you guys think? #pixelart #gamedev

I hate Pixel art. By that I mean I really struggle with doing it. Posting this now as this is my FIRST attempt at my 3rd and final 'biome' for Where The Flock!? Im sure it'll get better, my brain is just checked out though. Any pixel artists out there have any tips? #pixelart

Sharing dev progress here on feels kind of weird. I get likes and some retweets but never any throughput - like nobody actually clicks to go and see the thing I'm building. This makes it feel like this traffic is automated/botted for hashtags. So no tags: who's seeing this?

Replying to @SBGTraderZA
@SBGTraderZA when is the migration to Shyft happening? On the FAQ this is supposed to have wrapped up by now, but I've received no emails, no updates, and I'm still happily logging in to OST? Whats going on??

back when @thomasbrushdev played my game his stream, the immediate feedback was confusion on how to play level 1. Where do you click? He suggested an Arrow 🧐WASD movement also didn't work at the time. Zoom wasnt a feature. How are we doing now? #screenshotsaturday #indiedev

I've been trying to improve my photoshop skills and make better Steam Capsule Art. I am NO artist, but tell me if you think my 'New' concept is better than the Current concept? #wishlistwednesday #capsulreart #gamdev #indiegames

If you are an indie game developer, and if you use an AI for code, which 'brand' do you prefer using? #gamedev #indiegamedev #AI

Steam Next Fest is OVER! How was it for you? Here is a table on how it went for me and my first game releasing later on this year. It took a bit of work to get all the data together, but I'd love to know how other indie devs did. #SteamNextFest #gamedev #indiedev

Here is the link to my Steam page for critical feedback. I have received a lot of good feedback during the fest from people. I think the relative performance is good but I am curious what could be done to really move the needle forward. Thoughts? store.steampowered.com/app/3…

Just 20 minutes left in Steam Next Fest. Its been interesting & I plan on updating how it went for a solo independent developer going in at 166 wishlists. If you havent already and want to add to the wishlist heist, take a look at the Lemmings-like here: store.steampowered.com/app/3…

This #screenshotsaturday Im posting the Steam Next Fest performance for Where the Flock!? (it's a game a lot like lemmings). Currently the game is sitting on a modest 230 wishlists. Im excited so see the small uptick happening today. #steamnextfest

I was lucky enough to have a few smaller streamers cover the game for the first time ever on Twitch. I'm thankful for the support and looking forward to finishing the game.

Ok so this is my first Steam Next Fest experience. I was not expecting 1000's of wishlists but I was expecting a bit more than the 50 or so Ive notched up so far. Honestly this game is hard to make with all the physics, and Im considering abandoning it. #SteamNextFest #gamedev
