The first moments when you meet a character are always special. That is why I put in some extra effort into making the first meeting with my second main character memorable! #gamedev #indiegame #solodev #mazestalker

I set up a kofi goal for this month. It would help me having less stress with the bills and how I will reach the end of the month, plus it would help me focus on my game as well 💙

Thank you for your support 🙏

A quickly made level to demo the level editor of my game - at about 4x the speed of what it took to make it.
The game can be wishlisted on steam btw 😁: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3959370/8bitBot/
The demo version should be out within the next 4 to 6 weeks 🤞

There is consensus on the first WIP screenshot. I iterated on it and added the rewind use jauge on the side (instead of the NOKOMA letters in other screenshots). I kinda like it! What about you?

I got a german pre-review here, it's so nice that a writer actually wants to write about something before it's a finished product: https://games-mag.de/2026/08/02/retro-feeling-prereview-zu-mazestalker/ #gamedev #indiegame #solodev

[WIP] Really having a hard time finding the right UI... Any preference amongst those three versions, or any unexplored idea maybe? 😅 I suck at UI/UX and I'm confused lol

There is always this moment where adjusting and adding details becomes almost obsessive, but couple of objects I use here have been in the game for a very long time and are not having the right level of detail, so I wanted to update them. Have fun finding them 😅

Today, small UI improvements including unifying the button styles in game and menus. That's some improvements :)

Stil some work to do, but better is already great :)

Went nearly 100km on the ol' bike today, to spend the rest of the day on music for some other people and also working on the #250boxchallenge for #drawabox. Halfway now. What a time to be alive.

Feels like a crazy day. Is there anyone else out there juggling ridiculous stuff like this? To anyone reading; please let me know if you are that person or know someone, I'd love to be in touch.

Finally completed the most important feature in the game (no) and yes, NOKOMA's first big update was renamed ARCADE BEYOND... for convenience, hmm.

I could cry right now, I am so happy!
Just got my first ever app approved by #Apple and my wife just clicked the button to get it published to the #AppStore

Now we wait until we can see it to share it with the world =)

New prop for the harbor area. Just using the flat texture here and also only a few pixels. I find it so much fun to tweak gradients to fake light influences or dirt.

Far from perfect, but perfect is the enemy of getting things done; I will stop working on this now and use it for my Steampage (https://store.steampowered.com/app/3959370/8bitBot/).
Next task: Getting the demo properly working on the Steamdeck and signing up for the Steam Next Fest!

I made some more industrial decorative objects: mostly pipes and vents. Still learning more tricks when it comes to employing the uv-mapped color gradient technique.

The scene for my trailer - now with a bit more decoration.
Maybe I need a ship...

#gamedev #indiedev #solodev #raylib

I'm adding a little animation on the title screen to display the update name. I REALLY like to extend the scope... 😅

Please say I'm not the only one doing that! #indiedev #gamedev #solodev

A bit more polish on the trailer video; I added an option into the game that speeds up the entire game playback by a lot (something that was suggested yesterday) - that shortens some parts quite a bit.

#gamedev #indiedev #solodev #raylib #trailer

Minor new addition: Progress indicator on the map for the node. Hopefully it will trigger the completionist players to keep playing when these are not all full 😏
I know I would try...
