I made this image as a joke but my friends said that it was (mostly) reasonable enough to be taken seriously. So: Indie devs, what does your game need to do for you to see it as a success? Note: except for the top tiers, most of the games shown do not relate to their tier. #indie #gamedev

we've added so many bespoke new dev tools to The Mermaid Mask Unity project, I'm continually baffled as to how we made Tangle Tower without this stuff. I guess Tangle Tower was just made with fairy dust and dreams

This quick drawing of some of the characters is actually the only piece of concept art for the entirety of Crow Country project. Instead I just modelled ideas straight into Unity and iterated as I went along

early concept art for Detective Grimoire and Sally in Secret of the Swamp and Tangle Tower. (Sally was just one of the suspects in SotS, and then got promoted to co-protagonist in TT)

a little glimpse at some of the equivilant icons from The Mermaid Mask

Finished Wild Arms 3! Loved it. Anyone else played this one? I feel like I’ve never heard anyone talk about it.

We just updated The Mermaid Mask demo on Steam! One of the things we've added is a glimpse at the Art Gallery feature, which you can access from the title screen. It features concept art, 3D models and and behind-the-scenes notes from the artists :) Most of it is currently locked, of course...

this looks like it's got some amount of Rule of Rose/Haunting Ground/Alisa energy, something for survival horror fans to keep an eye on, perhaps

The Mermaid Mask launches this summer Tangle Tower successor The Mermaid Mask, formerly The Mermaid's Tongue, will launch for unspecified consoles and PC via Steam this summer, developer SFB Games announced. A new demo is available now.

Everyone should play Crow Country. It's scary, funny, and moving all at once and everything said below is 100% true.

I was going through my art and thought it would be cool to show the process of my Crow Country fanart. This game was so good! It might be time for a replay!
