New battle animation unlocked Guided by the Bear, the Great Plains warrior is deadly with his axe. Strong, practical, focused on building and protecting the tribe. #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiedev #madewithunity #gamedesign #illustration #indiegamedesign

We made the risky decision to remove text and HUD in Twined. Early versions explained everything. It worked — technically But players understood what was happening, not why. So we let the world speak instead. Consequences aren’t explained. They’re lived. #gamedesign #indiedev

We are testing the pick-up interaction Putting a chicken in your pocket may not be a usual interaction but it's super fun and perfect for prototyping! I find it so cute I’m thinking of keeping it! What do you think? #gamedev #indiegame #gamedesign #gameart #watercolourgame

Deep in the mountains lives a beast you shouldn’t provoke 🐻 Aggressive. Unpredictable. Better to stay away — but what happens if you don’t? It may surprise you. #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiedev #madewithunity #gamedesign #TwinedGame #illustration #indiegamedesign

🐸 New character unlocked! The enemy tribe’s hunter moves like their spirit — the frog. Quiet. Agile. Unpredictable. They strike from the wetlands and vanish before you know they were there. #CharacterReveal #IndieDev #GameDev #indiegame

Hey fellow #indiedevs what did you learn this year? As a young #indiegame studio we are learning A LOT and fast! One of the most important learning this year is that #community is everything. So we’ll be looking to connect more here on X in 2026! How about you?

Why Twined gets compared to Cult of the Lamb. Similarity: player choices shape a community and affect the world. Difference: Twined is an adventure, not a management game. No stats, no HUD, no text — everything is told through visuals and sound. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Yesterday we attended #BolognaGameFarm 🎮 A great event full of insightful talks on #gamedev and wonderful people. It’s always special to reconnect with the #indiegames scene of our home city 🇮🇹 Can’t wait to be back next year!

The best part of early prototype testing is finding the most silly bugs! This is from a few months ago at #gamescom2025. We had so much fun! #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiedev #madewithunity #gamedesign #TwinedGame #illustration #indiegamedesign

Adding small life details to Twined ✨ Animals now wander through the village, bringing movement and warmth to the world. Interactions are still WIP — but how cute is this? ❤️ Temporary. Silly. Perfect for now. #gamedev #indiegame #madewithunity

Did you know that Twined is a wordless game? No dialogue. No text. Everything unfolds through images, sounds, and your interpretation. It’s about atmosphere, intuition, and emotional storytelling. #TwinedGame #IndieDev #WordlessGame #IndieGame #GameDev

A new warrior emerges from the enemy tribe. Guided by the snake 🐍 — swift, precise, and dangerously quiet. Not just a fighter, but full of hidden tactics 🗡️ #NewCharacterIntro #IndieDev #GameDev

Help us choose the final design for our tribe of the high mountains 🏔️ We’ve got 5 options (A to E) — each one shaped by snow, silence, and survival. Which one feels right to you? Drop your pick in the comments 👇 #IndieGame #IndieDev #CharacterDesign #toonboom #gamedev

You meet the enemy tribe. One path leads to attack. The other, to a message of peace. Both choices shape the future — of your tribe, and theirs. In Twined, the story shifts with your values. #TwinedGame #IndieDev #BranchingNarrative #GameDev

A new warrior joins the tribe. Guided by the bear 🐻 — strong, grounded, built to endure. Not just a fighter, but full of hidden skills 🔨 #NewCharacterIntro #IndieDev #GameDev

Here's our tribe leader 👑 A powerful (slightly clumsy) figure who rides a goat that honestly seems to be in charge. He's grand, unpredictable, and weirdly charming. In Twined, leadership looks a little different. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedesign #illustration

Step into different roles. Experience new perspectives. Shape the path your way. #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiedev #madewithunity #gamedesign #TwinedGame #illustration #indiegamedesign

Wanted to spend a moment of appreciation for a fellow #indiegame team @DreamedAwayRPG We’ve been following this team behind the scenes for a while… admiring how well they’ve managed to establish and grow their community. We also met them at #Gamescom2025 last summer.

The world of Twined is getting busier... Here are some early concept sketches of the tribe that lives high in the snowy peaks ❄️ #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiedev #madewithunity #gamedesign #TwinedGame #illustration #indiegamedesign

Every tribe member has a role. The shaman holds the power to heal — but power alone isn’t enough. It’s how they choose to use it that shapes the fate of others. In Twined, every action matters. Every choice leaves a mark. #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiedev #gamedesign
