Releasing the demo and the train fest helps a bit Logistik to be known c: Still a long way to go, but it's giving hope and motivation :) (To compare, from Jan. 1st to July 14th, I was at 154 additions, 16 deletions) #indiegamdev #solodev #trains #steam #stats26 Jul 2026 09:22 +0000at://did:plc:eeelvuw2ecigd2ltjjdor47m/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrk2mr5f4c24https://bsky.app/profile/elanis.eu/post/3mrhvxkb6dk2lJust released a new update on Logistik demo!

So, now, that means I can do that kind of feature on Logistik:25 Jul 2026 07:15 +0000at://did:plc:eeelvuw2ecigd2ltjjdor47m/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrhd26ni5s2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/elanis.eu/post/3mrfltctjkk2hNew fix on my rendering library during my gamedev moment this morning: I modified the zoom code so it zooms around the mouse instead of the center of the map. It feels really satisfying on Logistik now! :)24 Jul 2026 14:47 +0000at://did:plc:eeelvuw2ecigd2ltjjdor47m/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrfltctjkk2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/elanis.eu/post/3mrdqqhpkn22eJust extracted the pics from my camera from when I walked with friends a dozen days ago :) #photography23 Jul 2026 21:09 +0000at://did:plc:eeelvuw2ecigd2ltjjdor47m/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrdqqhpkn22ehttps://bsky.app/profile/elanis.eu/post/3mrcgqnymt22fLittle tip for people like me who enjoy following creators on youtube but couldn't care less about the recommendations: Disable your watch history on YouTube You won't have anything on the homepage anymore, doomscroll algorithmic shorts won't work anymore.

(So, costs and modulated revenues mostly) Also, once I did these features, I should have almost enough to build a real trailer for the game :)21 Jul 2026 17:35 +0000at://did:plc:eeelvuw2ecigd2ltjjdor47m/app.bsky.feed.post/3mr6dtiq6tc2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/elanis.eu/post/3mr5ej3fifk2rYesterday's gamedev on Logistik: I created a new tool to the map editor (locally for now, will be live in a few days, I think) to create a body of water, so I'll be able to add lakes and oceans in the game :) (The first map element you aren't allowed to go through with rails!)21 Jul 2026 08:14 +0000at://did:plc:eeelvuw2ecigd2ltjjdor47m/app.bsky.feed.post/3mr5ej3fifk2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/elanis.eu/post/3mr3rs2lbo22vHere we go, it's time for the train fest!

Scared that they didn't like it. Really. Actually, they were nice, and it gave me lots of ideas and motivation. And seeing I'm earning more wishlists because people want to play more, that's already a relief :)20 Jul 2026 15:08 +0000at://did:plc:eeelvuw2ecigd2ltjjdor47m/app.bsky.feed.post/3mr3l5lthm22vhttps://bsky.app/profile/elanis.eu/post/3mr2vcw3ho22vI'm 1 day late for last week one, but otherwise I'm still going with "writing one short story every week for the whole year", I'm at 30 already written the last 7 months! Okay, not all of them are great, but some are really cool (especially the space race one, I loved writing it!)20 Jul 2026 08:37 +0000at://did:plc:eeelvuw2ecigd2ltjjdor47m/app.bsky.feed.post/3mr2vcw3ho22vhttps://bsky.app/profile/elanis.eu/post/3mqywis2ov22uLogistik demo is now live on Steam and Itch! It's still a work in progress and a limited version of the final game, but it's a huge milestone!

This actually took 13 months and 150 hours 😂 Okay, I did lots of pauses and R&D, but that's fun how wrong I've been initially.19 Jul 2026 11:29 +0000at://did:plc:eeelvuw2ecigd2ltjjdor47m/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqyoi3prjs2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/elanis.eu/post/3mqynwfh47c2uAlright, gamedev time, let's start working on one last update, before mid afternoon I must release the demo to the public! (Train fest starts tomorrow 😄)19 Jul 2026 11:20 +0000at://did:plc:eeelvuw2ecigd2ltjjdor47m/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqynwfh47c2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/elanis.eu/post/3mqup2appfk2zAfter a month of progress on the game and a solid week of playtesting, Logistik is starting to feel playable and fun to play. There are still plenty of major features I want to add, but I’m still really happy with how it's right now! #indiegamdev #solodev #trains #screenshotsaturday17 Jul 2026 21:29 +0000at://did:plc:eeelvuw2ecigd2ltjjdor47m/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqup2appfk2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/elanis.eu/post/3mqtzx4w2gk2zI just spent the previous 45 minutes adding small "ding" sounds everywhere in the game so it feels less empty. Now it sounds good!

My name is Axel, aka Elanis, 28, from France and I work as a freelance web developer in the day and a solo gamedev & other creative activities in my free time. Take a look at my profile description to take a look at my games on Steam :) #solodev #indiegamedev16 Jul 2026 14:37 +0000at://did:plc:eeelvuw2ecigd2ltjjdor47m/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqrhli6dic2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/elanis.eu/post/3mqo3qndcmk2rSo, I didn't released the demo yesterday because of two reasons: - Valve took a while to accept my build (had to argue with them in the ticket a bit so they accepted having an itch.io link in the game, because I don't sell anything there) - Playtesters found some bugs, I fixed most but not all yet15 Jul 2026 06:28 +0000at://did:plc:eeelvuw2ecigd2ltjjdor47m/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqo3qndcmk2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/elanis.eu/post/3mqlw7ql53c2iI didn't have much time for gamedev this morning, but after fixing a bug, I also added a rule to prevent players from “passing through” a station without stopping there. Small step to improve Logistik again :)14 Jul 2026 09:43 +0000at://did:plc:eeelvuw2ecigd2ltjjdor47m/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqlw7ql53c2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/elanis.eu/post/3mqki53ezn22jToday's gamedev work on Logistik! There are some improvements: There were a few issues while generating "inner" points for forests and rivers, it's been fixed, and I've set a limit on the angle of the tracks for more "realism".13 Jul 2026 19:59 +0000at://did:plc:eeelvuw2ecigd2ltjjdor47m/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqki53ezn22jhttps://bsky.app/profile/elanis.eu/post/3mqhor7ypq22aAs usual when doing gamedev, I like to put some number of automated tests to help me finding bugs as soon as possible. So this afternoon, I worked two hours on improving existing tests on Logistik. I'm not covering every major feature yet, but the whole tutorial is already covered :)12 Jul 2026 17:19 +0000at://did:plc:eeelvuw2ecigd2ltjjdor47m/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqhor7ypq22ahttps://bsky.app/profile/elanis.eu/post/3mqelzlfug227Sooo, this is what happens when your give your game to players and they try very hard to play (and break) your game 😂 Ngl, I'm happy it works so well (even more when you know it's been played on a non-officially supported Linux!) #solodev #indiegamedev #trains #screenshotsaturday11 Jul 2026 11:52 +0000at://did:plc:eeelvuw2ecigd2ltjjdor47m/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqelzlfug227https://bsky.app/profile/elanis.eu/post/3mqcelqrpy22gOh, congrats gamedev me, during summer sale I've had some additional sales, and that means I've just reached the 4000 (net) copies sold lifetime for both my games combined 🥳10 Jul 2026 14:34 +0000at://did:plc:eeelvuw2ecigd2ltjjdor47m/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqcelqrpy22g
