Finally, a real game you can play with your kids. I spent years helping build World of Warcraft. Then I watched MMOs automate the people out. So we're building Haven: a beautiful WoW meets Valheim, made for families, where cooperation is the win condition. 🧵

In Haven, social connection runs through everything. Chat, classes, gameplay. Here's my friends list. 0 friends online. We're working on it. #indiegame #gamedev

Week 1 of trying to grow an indie game on X with a $0 budget: Went from ~1 post a day to 40+ replies a day Best post: 482 views (my usual is ~150) Followers: was losing them for months. Now +5. Unstoppable. Lesson: nobody cares about your game until they like you Haven 👇 imx.gg/haven-x

I'm a mom building a heart-rate-raising game with a cozy core, made of every game I love. WoW. Valheim. EverQuest. (Level 65 Barbarian Shaman. I will be bringing this up forever.)

This is mind blowing. I grew up playing ASCII adventure games but they looked nothing like this. Imagine TeleArena with these sorts of visuals? 🤯
Лучшее, что я видел за последнее время — чел пилит ASCII MMORPG, в которой вся графика состоит из букв и символов. Да, буквально весь мир, персонажи, окружение и спецэффекты нарисованы разноцветным текстом. Автор сейчас экспериментирует с магией, визуалом и боссами. Я прям залип на то, как из нескольких десятков символов получается такая красота. Буквально сны при температуре 37,2. Via: tiktok.com/@Ansenjeo

Unpopular opinion from someone who helped build WoW: it didn't lose its charm in one patch. It optimized it away, one convenience at a time. Each one felt right. Together they turned a world into a lobby. Trying not to repeat that. Ask me in a year. #SpicySundayTakes

Our friend @Tozzeb modeled and animated a new bow for the Ranger. An elegant weapon, for a more civilized age. I'm still terrible with it, but now I die in style. 🏹✨

Public alpha soon. Therapist: let's try reframing that deep-seated dread as excitement. Me: I'm excited the doors work. Therapist: and the rest of the game? Me: next question.

We added a new class to Haven: the Ranger. It's terrible. I keep dying. Every mob in the forest has figured out I can't hit the broad side of a barn. Can't wait to sit down and tune it. Until then, RIP Rislyn. 🏹💀
