Devblog 1 – Hello and what we’re planning#

Welcome to our dev blog 👋

We’re a small development team (note: very small – 2 people) and are currently working on a 2D indie game with zero budget. It’s an idea that’s been stuck in our heads for quite some time – and is finally starting to take shape.

We’re more on the casual side and do not(!) come from the gaming industry. Still, we’re the kind of people who use their high-end graphics cards to play indie games like Stardew Valley, RimWorld, or classic 2D retro games like Fallout.
Since we’ve grown to really love 2D indie games, we want to fulfill a childhood dream and develop our own indie game.

For about a year now, we’ve spent our time on concept work, prototyping, and—of course—learning.
Over the past weeks and months, we’ve been diving deeper and deeper into the project, and it’s clear to us that we still have a long road ahead.
However, we’ve now reached a phase where we want to document and share our progress.
That’s why we registered domains and rented a web server—to reach out to you, share our idea(s), and who knows, maybe you’ll become part of our community. :)

Today, we’re proud to launch our new blog module.
For the start, we deliberately kept the website lean and simple:
Using the static site generator Hugo, hosted on our own server, versioned via GitHub, and automatically deployed. Low overhead, full control—exactly the way we like it.

Going forward, we want to regularly use this space to:

  • share development updates

  • give insights into design decisions

  • write about technical hurdles (and solutions)

  • present features that are coming—or getting scrapped again

  • and let you take part in our process

The blog will grow alongside the game—and hopefully together with a small community that’s excited to accompany us on this journey.

This is just the beginning.
More info, screenshots, and real game content coming soon 🚀

Thanks for stopping by!

P.S.: If you also want to create a blog module/blog website relatively easily, feel free to check out https://gohugo.io/. There are also numerous themes available that you can use. We used the “Terminal” theme by “panr” — I’m linking that here as well: https://github.com/panr/hugo-theme-terminal.
