Showing some behind the scenes magic for a scenic view point. Hand drew all the background scenery and layered them to create a nice parallax. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Working on making a location in my game (shop) look cooler. #indiegame #roguelike

I always enjoyed the spots in Hades where it would pan to a nice scenic view, so I made one of my own. #indiegame #indiedev #WishlistWednesday

I've been working on a game that is a mix of Megaman Battle Network, Slay the Spire, and Hades. If that sounds weird to you, then check it out as I just opened a playtest on Steam! 👇 store.steampowered.com/app/3331400/... #indiegame #indiedev #roguelike

Steam thought I was cool enough to be part of their Deckbuilder Fest, so I'm setting up a playtest May 4th. But my game is only half deckbuilder/half action roguelike, so does that mean I am only half cool?

I feel like more games should allow you to lounge around for no reason whatsoever, so I added this for fun. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #ScreenshotSaturday

Trying out a new UI transition effect to make the cards fly out. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Pet Doggo Bot

Showcasing some improvements in UI, visual effects, and card design for my action card-battler roguelike.

Added a quiet spot to take in the neon city at night. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #roguelike

Practicing making cool action clips of my game #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #roguelike

Updated a vista point with sun rays, fresh lighting effects, more background life, and tweaked color grading. Going for that quiet forest vibe where synthwave meets nature. #gamedev #indiegame #WishlistWednesday

Reworking the garden biome with some neon lighting and new effects. Trying to push it toward that synthwave sci-fi feel without overdoing it. #gamedev #indiegame #FollowFriday

Updated the hub area in my game with new visuals, a flickering hologram, drone movement, and a small interactive detail for the curious. It's finally starting to feel like something important happens here. #gamedev #indiegame

Been testing parallax on ambient particles using an orthographic camera. In this scene, the closer butterflies shift more and appear larger to create a stronger sense of depth. #gamedev #indiegame #ScreenshotSaturday

I've set up this shiny, weirdly intimidating tower in the middle of a vista I've been working on. Added some lighting around the edges to give it a more glowing, mysterious vibe. #gamedev #indiegame #WishlistWednesday

Here's an enemy destruction effect I've been working on. Went for something neon, punchy, and bright enough to look like a small fireworks finale. #gamedev #indiegame #roguelike #ScreenshotSaturday

Been working on a paint splash effect that appears when you get a reward. Wanted it to be colorful, satisfying, and to make a literal "splashy" entrance. #gamedev #indiegame #roguelike #WishlistWednesday

Testing prop destruction alongside updated visual effects for the laser beam skill. #indiedev #indiegame

Added a location node you can encounter during a mission. It's a quiet forest area with an old data well at the center, designed to feel abandoned but still holding something valuable. #gamedev #indiegame #roguelike #WishlistWednesday

Slowly improving the effects in my game. I recently updated this hit impact visual by replacing a flat sprite with a particle-based effect. It's not a huge overhaul, but these bits of polish add up over time. #MotivationMonday #gamedev #indiegame

Showing off a new environmental visual effect: a neon glowing border that pulses with music and sound! It makes the level feel more alive during combat and definitely adds some color to the chaos. #gamedev #indiegame #roguelike

Was tinkering with a card skill that blasts a fireball, but then thought... what if YOU were the fireball? Now you can yeet yourself into enemies like a flaming human torpedo. 🔥 #gamedev #indiegame #gaming #roguelike

Been tuning up the environment. Added more ambient particles, extra props, and started hand-drawing more things into the background. Here's a quick look at a location node you can explore (and maybe get a little lost in). #gamedev #indiegame #gaming #roguelike #ScreenshotSaturday

Testing out leaf and wind particles for better ambience. Went for a Wind Waker inspired wind effect for a calm, subtle vibe. 💨 #gamedev #indiegame #gaming

Been working on special VFXs for rare skill cards that show up during missions! They're a high roll when they appear, so I've been tuning lighting, sound, and slow-mo to make using them feel like a proper reward. #gamedev #indiegame #roguelike

Made some UI improvements for when my character shifts from action to card mode! The goal was to create the feeling of a new scene being painted in, with a stronger visual impact and clearer cues that show you are accessing a deck of skills. #gamedev #indiegame #roguelike #gaming

Painted and coded a new vista for one of my biomes ✨🌳 Enjoy the view! #gamedev #indiegame #art #gaming

Just added a vacuum robot to my game, because why not? Next step: slap on some lasers and call it a boss fight. #gamedev #indiegame #unity3d

Planned a simple backdrop but got distracted chasing awe over subtlety. Probably spent way more time painting and coding it than I should have, but still worth it! #gamedev #indiegame

When it's Monday and you have to teleport to work and explain to your boss why you're late. Again. #gamedev #indiegame

Fun fact: Comets are mostly ice and dust, basically dirty snowballs flying through space. In my game, they're also a Skill card you can drop on enemy machines! Turns out dirty snowballs hit really hard when falling from orbit. #gamedev #indiegame #roguelike #screenshotsaturday

Added some visual flair to my game's dodge system! Time it right and you trigger a "Perfect Dodge" with a short dramatic, cinematic. Still can't use it to dodge laundry, unfortunately. 🧺 #gamedev #indiegame #roguelike

My game's character is enjoying this totally real and genuine sun ☀️! You can tell it’s real because it has a smiley face and a soft holographic shimmer. I’m going outside to stare at it too. It always smiles at me. I think we're getting closer 🙃 #gamedev #indiegame

Here's a look at the rewards (skill cards) you get for destroying dangerous machines! Kinda like when I smashed a Roomba I swore was out to get me. It was just low on battery...but hey, free parts! #gamedev #indiedev

Added a card to my action deckbuilder roguelike where you smack enemies with a giant ham. Yes, a ham. It works disturbingly well! #gamedev #indiegame #roguelike #screenshotsaturday

Just rewatched my first attempt at a character concept for my game from way back. It's wild seeing where it started vs where it ended up. I had no clue what I was doing, but now I'm kinda proud of how it turned out. #gamedev #indiegame #digitalart

Just encountered a mysterious dog-like drone in-game. It looked at me... and then wagged its antenna tail. Must pet. #gamedev #indiegame #ScreenshotSaturday

Showcasing my card-based skill casting UI for my action roguelike! Control a drone, strategically play skills from your hand, and hope it all comes together. Here's a quick slice of how combat plays out! #indiedev #gamedev #roguelike #UIUX

🎨 Logo glow-up time! I went through a bunch of drafts to land on the final look for the game's logo. Some were weird, some were close, but each one got me a step closer to the vibe I wanted. Take a look and let me know your fave 👇 #gamedev #indiedev

Working on a new UI for room teleportation in my action roguelike. Added transitions, audio cues, and some juice to tighten up the feel. Still a WIP but it's always fun seeing how a bit of polish and feedback can level up the experience. #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #UIUX

Got helpful feedback around clarity, so I've been refining the UI for our action roguelike (where cards = skills). Since the card screen uses a pause system, there's a chance to breathe. But it still needs to read clean and fast. Still a WIP. #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike

Got the drone feeling way better now 😌 In our roguelike, you control a drone in combat. It used to float behind the player, but now it follows the cursor to stay in front where the action is. Way smoother, way more useful. Still WIP! #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike

In my action roguelike, you'll hunt rogue machines and bots...but the real joy? Blowing up pots, vases, and crates! 💥 Terrain, obstacles, whatever you see... if it exists, it can break! 💣🪴 #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike

Tinkering with new Skill Indicators for our roguelike game! 🛠️ Most card skills are skill shots, so visual clarity is critical. Built cone, path, and target shapes with clean vectors to show exactly where attacks will land. Feels way better! 🔥 #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike

🎨 Revamped the dialogue box with a new style experiment: Think sci-fi meets hand-drawn sketchbook. UI is cleaner, text pops more, and it's got way more personality now. Curious what you think 👇 #gamedev #indiegame

I've been messing with lighting and tweaking the environment, and things finally feel right. Dropped a quick preview video if you wanna check out the new vibe! #indiegame #gamedev
