Dev diary #13. Hunter's Roast, Honeyed Duck, Dragon Fruit — all composite dishes get cooked at the campfire and grant temporary attack or health buffs. Just rebalanced every single one of these numbers in one pass. #indiedev #gamedev #cozygame

Three bomb carriers. One chain reaction 💥 #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev

Dev diary #12. The Diamond Fishing Rod lets you catch fish a regular rod can't. Each of those fish has its own extra condition beyond "rod equipped" — I once shipped a version where that check was silently skipped, quietly stalling progression. #indiedev #gamedev #cozygame

Here's what one round looks like 🔧 Buy weapons in the shop → line them up and power them up → watch the fight. Planning the lineup is the best part. #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev

Losing the whole fight… then a last-second comeback 🔧 My base was almost gone. It's an auto-battler, but I was still on the edge of my seat. #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev

Same build, same rival — only the hero changes 🔧 Pico loses, Boltz barely wins, Lumina wins in 30 seconds. Didn't expect the hero to matter this much. #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev

Dev diary #11. Attach 2 villagers to a house and a baby is eventually born. There was a bug where picking up the house while a grown baby couldn't be ejected made it just vanish. Now dragging the house pauses all baby logic until you set it down. #indiedev #gamedev #cozygame

More tinkering with my little auto-battler 🔧 Swapped the hero, tuned the weapon lineup, and took down the enemy base in 21 seconds. Fun how much the order you line things up changes the whole fight. #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev

Had an idea, so I put together a quick prototype 🔧 Craft weapons, line them up on a belt, and just watch them clash across 3 lanes. Turned out more fun than I expected. #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev

Dev diary #10. The campfire cooks every composite dish — 8 recipes total. Since they share the same fire-input cell, I had to rework all 8 layouts at once so none of them collided with each other. #indiedev #gamedev #cozygame #screenshotsaturday

Dev diary #9. The bank converts resources into other resources. Used to be a flat "hand in anything, get 1 gold" trade — now it's a fixed table, Gold→Iron x2 and so on. Picking the bank up mid-conversion cancels it too. #indiedev #gamedev #cozygame
