https://store.steampowered.com/app/2368320/Cold_Salvage/ Cold Salvage is a horror co-op game set aboard abandoned wrecks. They drift through the void of space, but they are not safe - something lurks within. Explore. Repair. Survive From @bunguin.games
Cold Salvage is a #multiplayer #co-op #horror #survival game set in the reaches of space. You're not a soldier - you're an engineer. Load up on gear, Explore, Repair, Survive.
Public playtests coming in 2026
One of the most important tools of the salvage engineer is the map table. You can override security lockouts and guide fellow engineers to the damage - so long as the wreck still has power. Strategize as a team!

When I close my eyes, I still hear that sound.
Version 0.4.254 was just released to our alpha testers in the community discord. Updated UI, the first pass of the interactive map table, and the wreck now has a name plate!

Look, it's a tiny thing but we are loving the new menu screens for Cold Salvage. Our new 3D artist is getting some serious mileage out of kitbashing - which is so critical in a small team on a shoestring budget

Our feature tutorial/artist for today is this BRILLIANT set of tips on putting LIFE into your poses by Lomonte on tumblr! These four simple tricks, so well illustrated here, are ESSENTIAL! #gamedev #animationdev #characterdesign #animation #howtodraw #drawingtutorial #anime
Quick little #WIP of the reactor core particle effects and unfinished deck layout.
The reactor is not dangerous by itself, but for some as-yet unknown reason, the things that cross over, they love to nest here. Move quickly, move quietly.

Wrench, geiger counter, torch, and survival suit. The tools of the trade as a salvage engineer

Those 2016 throwbacks are so last week! Here is an original 'devil' concept Dan drew in Grade 5 (circa 1998), and a boss concept he did just recently. Satan, now known as Gary, is in an office politics nightmare after a hostile takeover from Heaven. Performance Review ahoy! #indiegames #indiegamedev
We saw this one at #PaxAustralia, the whole dev team dressed up as their characters! Awesome looking title! "Killing Things With Your Friends"

Dismemberment you say? 🤔
Game 👉 Killing Things With Your Friends

Oh this is fantastic
If you like roguelites and cricket, there's still a demo available for Card Cricket Quest: store.steampowered.com/app/4155160/...
Two of the devs that made Headlice also worked on this. I am told the "cricket ball to the nadgers" animation is 100% custom 😂

More beautiful #dev #art. The brief was "the players need to be able to carry an explosive device". 💣
The sphere, we get. But the fuse? *chefs kiss*

One of our favourite indie studios @stormcloak.games has just released Adaptory in EA! Base building, character-driven exploration and physics gameplay while you keep your crew of 4 stranded explorers alive. We played it at PAX Australia and loved it ❤️

Here's a throwback for the state of the game 61 days ago in November. Including the Christmas break, that translates to six actual weeks of work between then and now
#throwback #gamedev
Happy Friday! Today's dev diary is this incredibly moody CIC (command deck) work in progress by our new 3D artist. We're so excited to see what they can build with the existing assets
#indiedev #wip #environmentalart
We can't get enough of crunchy #devart . This is what a spaceship's 3D printer looks like in the year... 2233? Something like that. It's perfect in every way.
When building the game, first we make it work - then we make it pretty. We present: the Geiger Counter Vending Machine

Cold Salvage - A co-op survival game. Claim your salvage tug from the scrapyards, gear up with your engineer buddies, and try to survive dangerous salvage missions. But be careful, the things that killed these ships may still be on board...
#indiedev #gamedev #horrorgame #spotlight
#gamedev early WIP of our life atmospheric systems and wrist monitor in Cold Salvage. Parts of the wreck may have low O2, dangerous CO2 levels, or even be exposed to vacuum. A good engineer knows when to put their helmet on.
#indiedev #survivalhorror #scifi
This is beautiful, perfect, and needs no changes.
Our MD fondly recalls the mid-90's, reading the infamous game magazine review that ended with "zoop is poop" repeated several times. If that does not give you cult status, nothing will. A deserved 2025 win.
We want you to be a playtester 🦸☠️

Dev placeholder art is so crunchy and perfect. Exhibit A: the aniseed-flavoured smoke grenade for our horror survival title. Why aniseed? it makes perfect sense in-game, we promise 💥🍬 #gamedev #art
A sci-fi scene with an orange door, and some barrels
Every airlock could be your last... Once you step foot on the wreck, there's no going back. Your survival isn't about firepower - it's about making smart choices.
