We’re blocking out levels and testing our narration system. For now, it's placeholder text and an AI-generated voice, but soon it’ll be replaced by a real voice actor. Any feedback is welcome! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegames #madewithunity #steam #DarkQueenOfSamobor

Quick update: this bug is fixed 🔨 It now works flawlessly, you can push and pull boxes from any side (and while standing next to them) Animations need a bit more work, but it’s fully functional #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #unity #DarkQueenOfSamobor bsky.app/profile/dark...

Today we are thrilled to share this incredible milestone with you — we’ve just passed 10,000 wishlists on #Steam! Thank you everyone, from the bottom of our hearts. We are grateful for each and every one of you ❤️ #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegames #steam #10k #DarkQueenOfSamobor

Working on a mechanic to push boxes sideways (right now it only works from the front) It’s… not going great 😄 We’ll fix it soon, but the bug’s too funny not to share! 🪲 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegames #unity #steam #DarkQueenOfSamobor

New enemy Type: Vampire 😈 Driven by primal hunger, these creatures prey on men and beast alike, feeding on their blood to sustain their cursed existence 🩸 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegames #unity #characterdesign #Vampire #DarkQueenOfSamobor

Quick update: Movement along splines is now smooth and functional, including entry/exit points 🏃🏻 Excited to start blocking out levels with this mechanic, we have so many ideas and can’t wait to see them come to life #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegames #unity #steam #DarkQueenOfSamobor

From the feedback on our trailer, it seems that many people aren’t fans of our Queen model So now we’re asking honestly, how does she look in this scene? Brutal, unfiltered feedback welcome and appreciated! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #unity #steam #DarkQueenOfSamobor

New quick update: Traps don’t discriminate 😈 They are now just as lethal to enemies as they are to you Also, you can now roll over traps to avoid them Does that feel right? Would love your feedback 🙏 #gamedev #indiedev #IndieGameDev #indiegame #unity #steam #DarkQueenOfSamobor

Spline movement is finally coming along! A little twitchy at the entry/exit points, but we’ll smooth it out This is a nod to the classic PS1 Tarzan game we loved as kids 💚 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #PS1 #PlayStation #tarzan #unity #steam #DarkQueenOfSamobor

Several people have asked us how do you survive the boulder from the trailer The answer is: Time Crawl ⏳ The ability we revealed in the post below: bsky.app/profile/dark... Early gameplay, WIP⚒️ #gaming #gameplay #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #unity #steam #DarkQueenOfSamobor

Another short fight clip 🤺 Beyond light/heavy attacks, blocks, parries, and rolls, our combat stands out with axe throws and unique abilities, like Time Crawl, which slows time (you’ll spot it briefly in the clip) WIP⚒️ #gaming #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #unity #indiegame #DarkQueenOfSamobor

Some concept art for this #ScreenshotSaturday Nemri (“those who do not die”), giants of Croatian legends Standing 3–4m tall, they're known for their strength and longevity. Instead of dying, they stop and turn to stone #conceptart #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegames #DarkQueenOfSamobor

We love how classic Disney shaded characters differently from their environments Originally a tech limitation, but it gave them a unique look We're inspired by that and our characters use a separate shader to stand out Work in progress! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #unity #DarkQueenOfSamobor

We like to describe our game as INSIDE, but instead of a boy, you play as a knight with an axe. And you have magic abilities. And you can throw your axe. And there are boss fights. And… 🤔 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegames #unity #steam #DarkQueenOfSamobor

One of the abilities you’ll learn along the way is Time Crawl ⏳ It allows you to slow down everything except you and your axe Abilities can be used to solve puzzles and gain advantage in combat Work in progress 🛠️ #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #steam #unity #DarkQueenOfSamobor

Kuga – exploration She was once a dying girl. Pledging eternal servitude, she was granted power over time But the plague never left. It pauses when she watches. In unguarded moments, she sees her fingers blacken before wrenching time back #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #DarkQueenOfSamobor

Fresh combat footage captured today 🤺 The fights finally feel fun, but there’s still a lot of work ahead and this is all WIP, so any feedback is really helpful! #wishlistwednesday #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #steam #madewithunity #DarkQueenOfSamobor

Here’s a short gameplay snippet to show you our in-game tutorial text ✨ We love this approach of keeping it all in the game world instead of UI How do you like it? Any feedback is welcome! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #steam #madewithunity #DarkQueenOfSamobor

New enemy type – Skeleton Knights Once noble warriors, now risen from ancient battlefields to serve the Dark Queen’s will #characterdesign #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #steam #madewithunity #DarkQueenOfSamobor

1 year ago VS today 🤯 Crazy to see how far our game has come over the last 12 months… And it’s super motivating to keep pushing on 👊 Big thanks to everyone following along 🙏 Onwards!! ⚔️ #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #Steam #Unity #DarkQueenOfSamobor

A closer look at The Drowned Rotting in silence for decades, now they rise to drag you into their eternal sleep They serve Vodenjak 🧌 More on him soon... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #characterdesign #steam #unity #DarkQueenOfSamobor

We're adding some closed spaces to the game, like ice caves, so we started blocking them out and testing how they will (very roughly) look and feel What do you think so far? 👀 Super early footage, work in progress #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #Steam #Unity #DarkQueenOfSamobor

Aaand finally – Grabar, final look, ranged & melee variants This is the last post in the series on designing Grabar 🐸 They already made their debut in the trailer, but we wanted to show how our characters design process looks #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #DarkQueenOfSamobor

Yes, our game is a side scroller… …but it doesn’t have to be ALL from the side. Right? 🤓 #gaming #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #steam #unity #DarkQueenOfSamobor

Happy #ScreenshotSaturday everyone! Here’s one showing Grabar, our swamp monster, in action 🐸⚔️ #gaming #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #steam #unity #DarkQueenOfSamobor

Showing a bit of our combat 👀 Besides light and heavy attacks, you can block, parry, dash, throw your axe, and slow down time (just one of our special abilities) Early footage, work in progress! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #steam #unity #DarkQueenOfSamobor

How do you like our logo? We want it to somehow reflect our Slavic heritage, and also the snake symbolism Our story is inspired by the poem “Snake Queen” (Zmijska Kraljica), by the father of Croatian modern literature – August Senoa #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #slavic #logo #DarkQueenOfSamobor
