Making a game by stacking of 1000s of hand illustrated layers, it's only natural that people demand to know what we see when we look at things from the side. Today we're happy to answer that question! #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment

Making a game by stacking of 1000s of hand illustrated layers, it's only natural that people demand to know what we see when we look at things from the side. Today we're happy to answer that question! #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment
If this goes down how it did on other platforms, we're very ready for some comments about how people wanna see gaps between illustrations!
What happens when the player looks down?🍄✨🔮 Last week some behind the scenes footage of our game went viral. We got heaps of comments from people wondering if players could see between the thousands of hand drawn illustrations that make up our world. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #gamedevelopment
Thanks for sharing, glad this caught your eye. Still very much in development, so you've not missed much yet. High fives on picking up on this in the early days!
It’s that time for SA GAME JAM 2025 👾 Join the jam here :https://itch.io/jam/sa-game-jam-2025 #SAGJ2025
Could not agree more with you. I feel so bad for students that are forced to do this. Have agreed to helping them with these interviews in the past, and it feels like such a waste of time for all involved.
Just stumbled across this project and instantly sold on it. Wishing you all a great time bringing this awesome idea to life!
Gonna be awesome! Hyped!
We approve this colour scheme!
Awesome! Let us know when you've got Shroom and Gloom lined up and we'll try tune in!
Thanks for this! We put a lot of love into this thing, so really appreciate this kind of feedback! If you're eager to give the game a spin, we have already shared a demo over on Steam!
Thank you Matt! Looks a whole lot better in the actual game!
Love this take on the game's art style!✨
Looking so cozy!
Love to hear this! We're very much hoping this game is going to be appealing to people who don't typically vibe with deckbuilders! Great to hear we hit the mark for you!
Thank you Commander!
Yeah! The whole game is made out of thousands of stacked hand-drawn elements.
Thanks! Looks a whole lot better from the player's perspective!
Good question! We're showing off what we see when working on the game here. We build levels around what players will see, so the vast majority of the time we're working inside tunnels, rather than outside them. But if you're curious about seeing this from outside, here's what we see:
That's so great to hear! So encouraging that people are stoked on what we're doing!
Wanna see how our game looks behind the scenes? Here’s how we see a level of Shroom and Gloom in the Unity scene view while we’re developing the game. #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity #gamedevelopment
Thank you! Lovely to hear that!
Rad to hear you like the look of what we're doing here!
Huge thanks to our amazing community, and everyone who has checked out Stick it to the Stickman over the course of this week. Thanks for helping us keep the 'shareholders' satisfied.

Wooooo! Congrats to you and the team Rohun!
My first game release just happened!! This took over 4 years to make and it's finally out there. Pls buy it so we can make more of the game
Y'ALL! Our game is out!!
Made by @teamlazerbeam.bsky.social, this first-person roguelike deckbuilder plunges you into a hand-drawn world packed with monstrous mushroom dungeons. Build two decks to slash, roast, and combo your way through fungal foes and survive The Gloom! 🔗 Shroom and Gloom: steam.pm/app/3271280
This is such a fun concept for a game! Hope you have heaps of fun exploring this idea!
Great lets play of the demo. We got a 10!
Woooo! So stoked to check this out!
One we guess? Or are we missing out on some other rad games?
Wanna help us get this number up to 100K? Pummel that wishlist button over on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/3602770/...
How crazy?! Can't really wrap our heads around it!
So glad our game found it's way to a fellow fungal punk enthusiast!
Guess which fungal-punk roguelike double deck builder bagged 75 000 wishlists in less than 3 months? This one!🎉
Thanks heaps! Such a lovely feeling knowing so many people are hyped for this thing!
Thanks for sharing! Cool to hear it caught your eye!
Such a cool style!
So good to hear! Have fun unlocking those Foresight cards!
Thank you! We're also hoping for a console version!😉
Thanks Jeremy! We're so greatful!
Thanks so much for playing, and sharing! We're always so stoked when someone appreciates our tiny tutorial!
*Finally* sat down for my first run in the Shroom and Gloom demo and aside from what might be the most endearing and simple opening tutorial instruction this game is so immersive. The 2D/3D presentation is perfect and I can't wait to play more. #indiedev #cardgame @teamlazerbeam.bsky.social
Delighted to share our indie game just hit 75K Wishlists! Reaching this milestone is an amazing moment for us. Getting here in less than 3 months is mind-blowing. To every single one of the the 75 000 people that wishlisted, thank you so much! We're so grateful to making this game for all of you!
First time seeing this game. It looks wonderful!
Haha, we can't take any credit for that - just the @freelives.bsky.social board room's vibe matching our game nicely!
Thank you! So encouraging for us to get this kind of feedback!
What a lovely compliment! Inscryption is such a masterpiece!
TYSM! What a nice reaction to our game!
Thanks so much! Glad you found the game!
Thank you so much, that's kind of you to say!
We were so stoked!
How do we colour the levels in our game?🔮✨ Here's a quick peek behind the scenes of our magical roguelike deckbuilder! #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment #madewithunity
Brady doing some of the most important work in game today.
High fives to you for that!
The secret ingredient is mushroom sauce!
We meant perfect streamer for our game, but guess you could just say overall perfect too!
Haha, not yet, but who knows what the future holds!
Thank you! Glad you like the look of what we're cooking up for people!
What happens when the perfect streamer finds your game? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames
The weird little guys are us. We are the weird little guys.
This is what making a game with weird little guys looks like. #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity #weirdlittleguys
Congratulations! Love the name, love the trailer! What is that massive tune at the end?!
🚨 ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨 After 4 years of work, my solarpunk game finally has a title, a trailer, and a Steam page! Wishlist... Future? No Thanks! 👉 futurenothanks.com
Congrats on getting the prototype wrapped and shipped so swiftly. Hoping it does great and that you'll be headed into full development soon!
After three weeks in the prototyping oven, we've launched Dressmaker on itch! This is the most excited about a game that I've made that I've ever been and I don't think I've ever wanted a prototype to be a full game this much. I just hope enough of the rest of the world agrees. 😅
The future is emotional!
Our next game jam is on August 2nd at the Makers Massive in Cape Town! Sign up here
Thanks so much! You should see how it looks in game!
After a refreshing week of still playing video games like I didn't have a week off, I played the Shroom and Gloom demo from @teamlazerbeam.bsky.social I played about 3 hours of the demo, and I am really enjoying it. Deckbuilding is fun, and the setting is great. Overall, fantastic demo.
More like the algorithm is tripping.
Some takeaways: 🎸 Fellow game devs - try show people your games in editor! ✨ Still don't understand what Bsky algorithm wants, but cool to get a taste of a well performing post. 🔮 Confirms what we've seen on other platforms - people don't mind (maybe even like?) zero effort, low quality videos!
After 6 months on Bsky we finally had our first (kinda) viral post this weekend! 💩Literally just 5 second of shaky phone footage of the Unity scene view of our game. 💀Bsky's video compression absolutely murdered the clip. And somehow, this is our 1st post to blew up on here. Why?
Thank you so much! We're so grateful to see the game's spores spreading far and wide. Hope you have a blast with the demo when you play it!
Number one baby! Excited to share that after the latest update our game made it back to the top of the new and popular, roguelike and card game tags on @itch.io! #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment
Thanks! High fives to you!
Thanks again! This is just the editor of the game engine - you should check out how the actual gameplay looks to players!
Haha! I like how you're thinking about this! 🪺
