We’ve used Affinity Design for just about everything. From game UI to promo art to the full sized print for our PAX booth. #gamedev #indiegame

I’m not usually one to shill for a company (especially one that was recently acquired and may suddenly get very worse), but IMO Affinity Design has been such a great replacement for Adobe, and it’s got a new 6 month trial with a one time* purchase. affinity.serif.com/en-gb/trial #indiedev #uiux

It's essential for any fantasy town regional manager to stay informed on the goings on in your town, and the daily paper is the best way to check! #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev 🎮

I attended the Queensland Games Festival a few weeks ago and didn’t really say anything about it so I figured I’d do a quick thread on some of the cool local game makers and their games

Pro tip: In our latest update, we added this nifty extra upgrade that shows where you can place buildings to get their adjacency bonuses. #gamedev #indiedev 🎮

Sometimes you get a full week into a Steam sale playing all your new games, you forget to promote that you're game is on sale for 30% off. This is one of those times, but you've still got a few days to get it cheap! store.steampowered.com/app/1524530

Save 30% on Fantasy Town Regional Manager on Steamstore.steampowered.com Run a fantasy town for adventurers. Save it from monsters. Save it from itself. Watch it crumble to dust. Do it all again.

A few weeks ago, Fantasy Town Regional Manager was awarded honourable mention at the Freeplay Awards. The Caps team put together a zine page for the event about the game, featuring a few of our favourite jokes and a few new ones too!

The other week I decided to add an asset packing system to my C++ game engine, Siege, and so I thought it might be fun to do a writeup on my process as well as all the cursed things it does that will keep me up at night. Enjoy! #cpplus #cpp #gamedev #opensource #programming #gameengine

The fruits and folly of implementing an asset packing system in C++capscollective.com After implementing a packing system for our custom, C++ game engine, Siege, I go in-depth on some of the design decisions, and unforeseen hazards encountered along the way.

Fantasy Town Regional Manager is taking part in the Steam Deck-Builders Fest, so be sure to check out our card-based, roguelite, town building fantasy-satire. It'll be on sale at a hefty discount through the week! store.steampowered.com/app/1524530 #steam #indiegames #steamsale

Haven’t shared this game on here yet, but if you’re looking for a short 20 min narrative #indiegame about making dumplings and overhearing conversations, check it out! #gamedev #indiedev

Hi, #gamedev, I’m a gameplay engineer living up in Brisbane, Australia! I’m also part of the @capscollective.com team, having released Fantasy Town Regional Manager, a satirical town-builder. I'll post some combination of goofs and dev stuff for the things we're working on in Godot, Unreal, and C++

Sydney folks, we’re showing off our little game about dumplings next weekend 🥟 Getting distracted and overhearing conversations is a big part of the game, so a live event’s the perfect way to play it!

Look at all these games! Psyched to have received honourable mention for FTRM, and proud to see so many of our friends nominated, including our Sydney pals, @fuzzyg.host, for not one but THREE nominations! If you're in Melbourne and can make it, Freeplay knows how to put on a good show!

Greetings, consumer! We are pleased to announce that Fantasy Town Regional Manager will be on sale during the Steam Capitalism Festival for your purchasing pleasure... in exchange for your hard-earned cash. store.steampowered.com/app/1524530

With mere hours left in the year, I managed to write up the blog post I'd been threatening to do for a while on how the @capscollective.com team is using GitHub Actions to build, test, and publish our open-source Godot 4 projects at no cost. Take a tour of our indie-grade build pipeline automation!

Setting up your very own Godot build and publishing pipeline with Github Actionscapscollective.com The official blog for Caps Collective, the open-source, indie dev collective.

The AGDAs last night were something special, congrats to all the winners, and looking forward to seeing you all again next year!

GCAP is done! Our second year here felt like being welcomed back with a warm hug. Thanks to everyone who took the time to meet us and tell us your stories. Now time to glam up for the AGDAs! 🎮
