#FindThisPixelAnomaly is a cozy-horror game where you have to monitor surveillance camera footage to spot anomalies. 🔎 Have you seen anything suspicious? File a report to fix it. But beware - too many anomalies will end the game.

The best #gamedev feeling?

Spending hours on implementing models and then the time comes to use them and everything just works together 😌

Are there any streamers/press who would like to cover Find This Pixel Anomaly? I would happily provide a Steam key :3

If you know any streamers that like anomaly games, please feel free to drop some names, so I can get in touch.

Seen on other games I added a FAQ section on steam myself.

You can find it here: steamcommunity.com/app/3290400/discussions/0/806846875018766308/

If you have any more questions about the game, please let me know :)

It is now in Steam's hands to approve my game for release 🙏 Can't believe I made it this far 🥹

Fellow Godot gamedevs, I need help with exporting my game in Linux for Steam 🥺 The game crashes without any logs but when I use Proton experimental (or any other Proton it seems) it works just fine. Any ideas?

Waiting for the play testers feedback...What else can I do? Mocking up fake Nintendo Switch cartridges 😬 Controls and graphics would definitely work on Switch!

Is there really a use for game specific Discord servers? I see it in every "How to market your game" tutorial but I use Discord mostly for voice chat with my friends.

I see this for farming sims like Stardew Valley with a lot of content. But for small linear indie projects?

BTW, Find This Pixel Anomaly is fully playable on Steam Deck. Steam just haven't reviewed it, yet. 👍

Play the demo now:

Got a real nice feedback on my demo during Steam Next Fest 🥹 Cant believe people take the time to create a community post on Steam if the demo store page has no reviews activated.

Got >100 new wishlist entries since Steam Next Fest 🥹 I know it's not a lot but for solo indie developer me - it means a lot! I really can't wait for the full release.

Maybe with some reviews after full release more people will see and play it 🤞

The little imp characters in my game appreciate this wishlist number 😈 You will be rewarded with an achievement if you find all of them in the final game.

Wishlist and play the demo:

Find This Pixel Anomaly is part of Steam Next Fest and we're so close to the final release 😱 Can you spot every anomaly in this dark hidden object game before the clock runs out?

Wishlist and play the demo:
store.steampowered.com/app/3290400/Find_This_Pixel_Anomaly/

🕑 One successful run takes approx. 18 minutes.

Got some great feedback from a play tester. They even found a demo bug 🙈 Thankfully it's already fixed in the full game.

Night vision can be activated via RMB now and you will be able to scroll through cameras via mouse wheel. This is a great improvement for accessibility 💪

Unfortunately I lost several weeks of development due to the loss of a family member. With Christmas just around the corner I have decided to postpone #FindThisPixelAnomaly until early 2026. I hope you understand 💔

My interactive tween guide for Godot is out !

If you have trouble using tweens, adding "Juice" or picking the right transition, it should hopefully help!

The guide is free and will always be 🩵

Attention Indie Devs!

I just need 15 seconds ... of your game footage! A lot of people jumped on the 15s video trend, so I thought it would be cool to make a compilation to help indies get some visibility.

After several months of development I've sent the next big play test to one of my best friends 🙈 I really hope I did not mess up 😂 If they give their go, I will send it out to more people

Thank god, I didn't have to create 84 Steam statistics by hand 😄 I copied cookie and payload value from browser to a little PHP script with cURL instead.

Now achievements are all up and running 💪

I've started to implement a debug menu customized for my game. With this I can now unlock Steam achievements and set stats with a single button click or print out store variables 🎉

I added 20 stats, count them up whenever the player fixes an anomaly & if all 20 stats have the value 1 - an achievement is unlocked. Yay!

But then I added a stat to count the achievement progress ("You fixed 5 of 20"). And #GodotSteam just won't count this damn stat up 😭

I really don't like the fact that the majority of #gamedev tutorials is in video form nowadays :(

I love working on my game while sitting on the couch with my wife, watching a movie, YouTube or whatever.

I don't have time to skip through endless videos and find the part I need 😭

"The Room Above" has a nice UI to explain the game mechanics. I definitely need to implement this for #FindThisPixelAnomaly
