I’m making environment art for Curse of Cards. It’s quite meditative - both to create and to watch. A pocket of Ma, emptiness between the claps, space for thought to breathe. … it’s snowing on Mt Fuji. #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #ue5 #DungeonCrawler

I'm very fortunate to have another talented artist - Onyrix - create an illustration for Curse of Cards. This time it's the Prince of Theives himself, Robin Hood! Here's Onyrix's insta: www.instagram.com/_onyrixnoir_... #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #dungeoncrawler #ue5 #folklore

I've had a fun week on Curse of Cards making environment art. Setting myself up with foliage and modular pieces to munge different room variations for this cosmic library. Plus, Ben's made more music! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #dungeoncrawler #ue5

Behold! Curse of Cards has a minimap now. It's inspired by Metroid Prime's lovely little isometric display (with an added bit of perspective so you don't randomly go cross-eyed while staring at it). #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #dungeoncrawler #ue5

The game is looking beautiful! It inspired me to practice my sound design. #sounddesign #gamedev

OK, I need to stop. Curse of Cards *probably* doesn't need this much interactive water. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #dungeoncrawler #ue5

Making interactive shaders in Curse of Cards is my happy place. I want to eat the water. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #dungeoncrawler #ue5

OK, here's my first bash at target-based movement in Curse of Cards where the player blueprint evaluates nodes in-range. This way we can have free camera movement while still retaining the dungeon crawler grid-based movement. #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #dungeoncrawler #ue5

I'm trying free movement instead of grid-based for Curse of Cards. Whaddya reckon? Pros: Better interaction with water and foliage; less disorientating; rooms can be any shape. Cons: You lose the vibe. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #dungeoncrawler #ue5

Hello Bluesky! My name is Fernanda Dias and I'm a composer and game developer! I made UNSIGHTED with @tianipixel.bsky.social and now we're making ABYSS X ZERO! (please wishlist it to support us!) #gamedev #axz #ironfairy

Hello new followers! I'm Tiani Pixel, 3D/2D artist, game dev and coder Me and @ironfairy.bsky.social previously made UNSIGHTED, and now we're working on ABYSS X ZERO, a 3D Metroidvania inspired by Mega Man Legends, Zelda Wind Waker and more! Wishlist to support us! (link 👇) #gamedev #indiegame

Curse of Cards is slowly getting some variation in the environment. Still lots to do, but it's nice seeing something other than sandy ruins. #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #dungeoncrawler #ue5

Implemented biomes on the dungeon floors for Curse of Cards! It’s just a colour change for now, but having rooms grouped together thematically should help players orient themselves when wandering about. #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #ue5 #DungeonCrawler

Time and space are inextricably linked in Curse of Cards' Amber Archives... Here's some exploration and card match gameplay. Also, also, have some early music from Ben Wolland, the game's composer! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #dungeoncrawler #ue5

Slowly cooking up some environment art in Curse of Cards. Can you tell what’s actually going on in this pic? Probably. I’ll take some nicer shots next week 😅 #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #ue5 #DungeonCrawler

We have some wonderful collaborators on Curse of Cards! Illustrator Jacob McFadden has expertly created the Cat Familiar - this card attaches to a Creature and bestows an ability. Check out his Insta: www.instagram.com/jfadds.ink?u... #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #dungeoncrawler #ue5

Very proud to see the first trailer for #LEGOBatmanGame from the talented folk at Tt Games! They’re smashing it over there! The level I worked on as LD and Tech Designer got a prominent spot on stage, too! (Although it looks waaaaaaaaay prettier than when I last saw it!) youtu.be/1hQAoGj01Rc?...

I’m going insane trying to find a solution for this. In UE5, I’m getting swimming/ghosting temporal artefacts from TSR due to Bump Offset in my material. This pseudo-depth doesn’t output motion vectors for the shifting pixels. Anyone know a solution? #techart #ue5 #gamedev

This week on Curse of Cards, artist Fionn Jordan has blessed us with another illustration! This time the Glaistig or "Green Lady - a spirit from Scottish folklore. Check his Insta! www.instagram.com/fionnjordan?... #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #dungeoncrawler #ue5

Some TechArt on Curse of Cards: Many know the shader tech of random object colour using world position - but a mesh has only one position. Great for the odd book, but not so great for a library... 🧵1/3 #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #dungeoncrawler #ue5

Finally getting round to doing some 3D environment art for the dungeon/cosmic library in Curse of Cards. "It'sbinawhiiile" (Staind voice). Maybe I'll even make more than a single white sandstone texture, too... #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #dungeoncrawler #ue5

On Curse of Cards I've been trying to think outside the box for a 'pass turn' button that also doubles as a 'current turn marker'. The result is this floppy plant that reacts with the mist's wind system. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #dungeoncrawler #ue5

Thai artist, Na. recently reached out to do an illustration for Curse of Cards! I asked them to choose some folklore from where they grew up and they proposed the 'Golden Boy' Kuman Thong... 🧵1/2 #folklorefriday #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #dungeoncrawler #ue5

This week on Curse of Cards, I've had a crack at removing unnecessary UI junk. I'm relying more on diegetic info such as the coins for player score. Next week? Fix the auto-camera and stop it from having mini freak outs. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #ue5

Aight. Figured out the cam in #DonkeyKongBananza Looks like a regular 3rd person cam with collision detection on when in an open space… [1/4] #GameDev #TechDesign #Camera #Nintendo

I'm quite pleased with the artwork on this Event from Curse of Cards. Not a bad saturday morning! I even made my own Photoshop brushes like an artist who knows what they're doing. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #dungeoncrawler #ue5

Not much new to show on Curse of Cards this week as I’ve been at #DevelopConf So here’s the video I was shoving in people’s faces if ever they asked about it (and even if they didn’t ask, tbh) #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #ue5 #DungeonCrawler

Had a wonderful #DevelopConf this year. I love coming back to the city my career started in. All the talks were fantastic, it was great to meet up with old friends and I made some new ones! Energised! Let’s make some great games!

Had a nice week on Curse of Cards redesigning the Creatures and Events with a bit of a Celtic flare. I’m heading to #developconf next week so look out for me in a @moonrunegames.bsky.social shirt. We could get a drink 👍 #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #ue5

As is no-doubt blindingly obvious - I was inspired by Yuka Morii while doing the artwork for the "Mushroom Folk" creatures in Curse of Cards 😁 #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #dungeoncrawler #ue5 #mushrooms

I did an art! It's been a while since I felt comfortable dropping other tasks in favour of 2D illustrations for Curse of Cards. Not an exciting subject... but I'd feel bad contracting illustrators to do these mundane pics😅 #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #dungeoncrawler #ue5

Reflourish. 🌼

The artwork is still WIP, but I'm quite happy with the newer full-art style in Curse of Cards. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #ue5

Here's some of the main game loop for Curse of Cards. Explore a shifting, ancient cosmic library and card battle your way home. It might be time for another performance pass, next week. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #ue5

Curse of Cards pretty much has all the main match systems in and communicating with each other now. With Curse and Boon cards acting as modifiers throughout a run. There is now also enough card artwork to make it look like a real game, too! #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #ue5

Looking for the best upcoming indies? Here's another round of rapid-fire recommendations from June's Steam Next Fest event (WITH A TWIST!) - featuring Ball x Pit, Word Play, Consume Me and more Video at the link: youtu.be/FbC4PSA9foU

Fionn Jordan has been an incredible human and made another illustration for Curse of Cards! This time “The Dullahan” or Headless Horseman. Check out his Insta here: www.instagram.com/fionnjordan?... #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #ue5

Working on Curse of Cards this week - I had a fun play with full-art card layouts and improving the holofoil shader!✨ #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #ue5

Help me out here. What are people's thoughts on full-art designs for Curse of Cards? On the one hand, more legibility. On the other hand... full art, tho. #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #ue5

Don't wake up the beast :o #indiegame #indiedev

I've finally got the post-match rewards in Curse of Cards functioning how I'd like! You roll the dice and take the reward card - roll too low and a Curse Card will attach itself to you, making future matches and exploration... interesting. #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #ue5

The post-match rewards in Curse of Cards: You get a choice of cards, including a Boon (think the Balatro Jokers or Slay the Spire Relics). Each one you take needs a dice roll. Roll too low and you get a Curse card 👻 #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #ue5

In Curse of Cards, I've now implemented a nice bubble highlight as you mouseover the cards in your Hand. This quick peek means you don't need to fully bring up the whole shabang to see what you hold AND we can squeeze way more cards on screen! #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #ue5

This week was awesome as Fionn Jordan has agreed to do some test illustrations for Curse of Cards! His hand-drawn inking style is just 👌🤌✨🙌🚀 Check him out on Instagram! www.instagram.com/fionnjordan?... #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #ue5

Curse of Cards now actually has Curse cards "awarded" after a match. Once the player has chosen their jinx, they get to open a booster pack of some... nicer cards 😉 Excuse all the debug text jank. [Music: Adventure - Fez OST, Disasterpeace] #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #ue5

I realised it's been a hot minute since I last showed off some of the main game loop for Curse of Cards! Here is a bit of the #DungeonCrawler exploration players will do outside of card matches. [Music: Closer by Nuages] #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #ue5

And so the beast awakens... @rivertries.bsky.social: With a protective energy shield ☝️at least something for now :) Also thanks to all for the feedback! Helps a lot. #indiegame #gamedev #Unity3d

While only basic placeholders for now, I've finally made hooks for each attack to have their own pretty VFX in Curse of Cards! Oddly enough, the camera was inspired by playing Pokémon Stadium on the N64 last night 😄 #gamedev #indiegame #cardgame #ue5
