In addition, a FREE update will add even more content when this releases. A brand new boss and 7 new upgrades will be added for everyone, even if you can't grab the DLC right now. Nobody is getting left out of the fun!

When I first started work on #Gunlocked, I figured right about now I'd be taking it easy...Instead I'm finishing up a massive #DLC expansion, and working on an even bigger, brand new game. Can't wait to share more on both!

I've missed you all. I'll be posting more regularly soon. #GameDev #IndieGames #PixelArt

Nothing more satisfying as a #GameDev than a popular streamer/content creator organically finding one of my games and then actually liking it (haha).

Vinny Vinesauce did a huge play-through of #Gunlocked here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLfbTrTzVCU&t=769s

Recently been playing Vampire Survivors and having a great time, something about the power-stacking and progression is super addictive. This inspired me to also give #Gunlocked @FromLefcourt a go and I had a great time with it, same kind of gameplay but a more classic scrolling shooter, super fun.

Accidentally recorded this gif of #Gunlocked at 15 fps, but the build was so fun, I thought I'd share anyway.

I was just supposed to be testing a small patch, but I finished that at 4:52 in-game time...and then couldn't stop playing. The only game I've made that I still enjoy playing after release. #GameDev #IndieGames #PixelArt

Anyone using the latest Proton version able to check if #Gunlocked is still running/launching properly? It was previously #SteamDeck verified, but I got a report that in the last 2 days it isn't launching on Linux with Proton. Maybe @gamingonlinux ?

I don't think it's anything I've done. #GameDev

A little feature over at Gamespark about #Gunlocked in their notable new releases on Steam section. Happy to see it! #GameDev #IndieGames

For a little #ThrowbackThursday may I present to you the very first prototype of #Gunlocked as a shmup. The original "Gunlock" mechanic used a laser targeter instead of radar-like sweep.

The most frustrating part of developing #Gunlocked has been marketing. On the rare occasion that a website or youtuber did post about it, sales and wishlists shot through the roof.

Knowing that makes it all the more frustrating that for the last 7+ months, basically 99% of the people/websites I've contacted haven't even bothered to check it out.

Still, I'm happy with how things have gone, organically. Just wish it wasn't so impossible to reach people in this industry. #GameDev #IndieGames

Patch 1.01 for #Gunlocked is now live. I've also included an asset pack download for anyone interested in making guides: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1512480/view/3616983854441791493 #GameDev #IndieGames

I had a dream last night that I sold 100,000 copies of #Gunlocked in an hour. Then I woke up and checked, and I HAD...then I woke up for real. Just the fucking worst.

Fun fact: I suck at drawing technical things like vehicles, ships, and machines, so I made everything have vague animal/insect like qualities. I much prefer drawing natural things. #PixelArt #GameDev #IndieGames

#Gunlocked is currently #2 new and trending under $5! Exciting times.#GameDev #IndieGames

This is it! Moment of truth. my #Roguelite #Shmup, #Gunlocked has exited Early Access!

It has been an incredible experience to develop this game with everyone in the community that gave such great feedback. It has been life changing, in a very tangible way (I'll talk more about that some day).

Check out the linked trailer below, and please boost and share and toot until your heart's content!

The codex is complete for #Gunlocked. The game will now document every enemy killed, collectible collected, and upgrade equipped.

Finishing/testing the final achievements and adding the new music today, and then 1.0 is complete! #GameDev #IndieGames #PixelArt

Just need to add the mechanism to lock/unlock entries, and the last major piece of #Gunlocked will be complete. #GameDev #IndieGames #PixelArt
