A look at my indie game after 4 years doing my best as solodev. I will appreciate your feedback and thoughts.

Hi everyone! 😊 I'm excited to share my indie game with you after 4 years of hard work. I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

After dedicating the past 4 years to this project, I can’t wait to share it with the world!

I’ve worked solo on every aspect of the game—programming, art, music, sound, and even typography. Learning and experimenting with new techniques has been a big part of the process, and I’ve loved creating custom shaders to develop a distinctive atmosphere.

Lately, one of the biggest challenges has been optimizing the game to run smoothly (60fps) across all platforms. Porting it to multiple consoles was no small feat, but it’s been incredibly rewarding!

Now I’m getting ready to self-publish, and I’m really excited to see where it goes.

Any feedback, advice, or just kind words would mean a lot to me as a solo developer. If you have any questions or thoughts, feel free to reach out!

Do you like Beavers? (new Steam game released)

Hi everyone!

I released a cozy game on Steam recently called "A Beaver's Tale". It currently ships for PC and Linux, and although the steam deck build "works", there's some bugs to iron out there before I officially announce it.

Here's the short description:

Set in a picturesque, Canadian maple tree forest, A Beaver's Tale is a cozy, adventure RPG. In story mode, learn to protect your beaver kits and become a master builder! In builder mode, take control and fully customize this colorful and cozy world!

Check it out!

Would you attend a cosy/wholesome game event? Think comic con for cosy games.

Hi! I'm currently in my final year of my events management degree. Fortunately, I get to carry out an event plan instead of a dissertation.

For my final project, I have decided to create an event plan for a cosy gaming event. We are still in very early planning stages but hope to be able to carry it out after graduation.

We are looking for some helpful folks to fill out a survey so we can understand our audience and their wants/interests a bit more.

If you would like to partake, you can fill the form out here: https://forms.gle/LweUYjqDxXzMeG9M7

It should take no longer than 10 mins and is completely anonymous. Please feel free to be as specific and creative as you wish!
