I'm excited for Steam Next Fest and hope people who play the demo of Hopfinity love the gameplay! It's nice to be "done" in a sense, yet also nervous for what comes next. It will be hard to not add more to Hopfinity before release later this year! #indiedev #indiegame #platformer store.steampowered.com/app/4…

I’ve been quietly building a game for almost a year now, and it’s finally getting real. It’s called Hopfinity — a fast little arcade climber where you grapple, dash, and bounce a slime called Hop (suggested name from my son), as high as you can. Platforms, turrets, lava, a giant spider, the whole mess. I’m aiming to release it before the end of the year, and I just put a gameplay trailer up. If you’ve ever wanted to see the thing I’ve been disappearing into, this is it. #solodev #gamedev #indiegame Wishlist it on steam here, store.steampowered.com/app/4…

Game devs — has making games kinda ruined playing other games for you? When I first started, another dev told me it would ruin casual gaming forever. I didn’t really believe them at the time. But lately I catch myself doing it constantly. I’ll be playing something and instead of just enjoying it, I’m mentally breaking down the mechanics. Half the time I'm thinking about turning the game off and jumping into my game development. Is it just me or does the dev brain never fully turn off? #IndieDev #GameDev

I think it's good to take a break day every now and then to refocus scope for developing games. It also helps to form better world and level design in my opinion 😊 #gamedev #indiegame #solodev

Having fun adding in new levels to Hopfinity! Hop may not appreciate the fire 🔥. If you love old school arcade style games, then Wishlist Hopfinity today and try the demo! #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #arcade

The closer I get to the goal of releasing Hopfinity by end of August the more anxious I get! Don't think I'll ever feel 100% done with it even on release. I'm sure that's how many other devs feel with their games. And even though I tell myself it's a small game it'll be fine, I still have to contain the feature creep and keep it within scope. #indiedev #gamedev

I've been playing a bunch of old games from GameCube and the Playstation 2 and it's really sparked inspiration for my future game mechanics! #indiedev #gamedev

Note to self...When deciding to do controller support, just do it, and right in the beginning not half way through development. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Wife: “After dropping your game demo and seeing all the stuff you missed that still needs fixing… you worried about the full release?” Me: “Nah… not at first. But now that you’ve said it out loud and made me actually think about it… yeah. Pretty terrified I’ll have some game-breaking bug pop up that I’ll have to scramble to fix on launch day 😂” Anyone else had the post-release panic, or even had something like it happen? #IndieDev #GameDev #DemoDrop

It's a beautiful Sunday! Chose to mess around with more animations for the main character of Hopfinity, Hop! In the polish phase of the game, I'm working through the task list bit by bit! #indie #gamedev

Big shoutout to all the badass game devs grinding late nights while crushing full-time jobs and real-life chaos! You’re keeping the indie dream alive 🔥 Happy Easter! Recharge, then let's get back at it! My vertical action game Hopfinity is coming later this year — grapple to infinity as Hop! Ascend endless caves, castles & skies! What are YOU building? store.steampowered.com/app/4…

Just spent some time polishing the UI in Hopfinity — loving how it's coming together! 🕹️ Next up: the Sky Level! If you’re into tight, arcade-style vertical platformers with grapple swinging and pixel-perfect action, go wishlist it on Steam 👇 store.steampowered.com/app/4…

Mocking up the title screen for Hopfinity. I think it would be so much fun to add in animated bits later on! Probably a "must do" on the checklist. #IndieDevs #Indiegame

Having some fun implementing a bounce mechanic in my game Hopfinity! Should add some unexpected outcomes with each playthrough.

Apologies for the lull in content! Things have been nutty at work, and just getting back into it. This next showcase features a game that I really enjoyed, especially since cozy games aren't really my thing. Come check out Whisper of the House, which releases on Wednesday, August 27, with a newly confirmed price of $14.99 (10% off on release!) Here is this week's showcase. Nice innovation, along with some interesting storylines and organizational mechanics! 💚 youtu.be/E0QbNKZoMb4 #IndieGames #IndieGame #IndieDev #IndieGameShowcase #WhisperOfTheHouse #GameDev #CozyGames @GD_whisperrr

Please like and repost. Please help me get the word out!! 🥰 Working feverishly on growing these YouTube and Twitch Channels. Lately, I have been adding new content to my main YouTube channel to the point where I genuinely think I have screwed up the algorithm so much that it's simply ignoring me. Hahahaha To that end, I have created a VODs channel, also in light of Twitch getting rid of their unlimited Highlight storage. I have started with adding Final Fantasy IV streams, but it is my plan to add every single stream I have ever done and kept recorded over the years. It will be a slow process, but it will be YEARS before I run out of content to post. Everything will be neatly organized in individual play lists. Please consider subscribing to my VODs channel, help get the word out. This is a tight-knit community that I really want to continue growing. Lots of fun, conversations, knowledge sharing, and growing together! 💚 youtube.com/@MazTech_GamingV… #ContentCreator #TwitchStreamer #YouTuber #WeGrowTogether #DiscordCommunity #Twitch
