✨Today we’re diving into the Violin Katana, one of Zura’s most elegant yet devastating Instruments. What began with the World Cut’s slashes has now evolved into new possibilities, fast, cinematic bursts that hold enemies in place for stylish finishers.✨ open.spotify.com/episode/3uEr...

Waterfalls are fun. :)

Here's a sneak peak of some background work I've been doing lately! #pixelart #indiedev

Zura's primary Instrument is the Nightfall Shield. 🛡️ Question 🚨 What type of Parry/Perfect Block systems do you enjoy the most? #pixelart | #indiedev | #IndieGameDev | #ドット絵 | #gamedev | #metroidvania

Everyone on the team has been working hard on Shade Protocol! This is our first Devlog update that shares some of the hard work we've been doing since the game's announcement. Please check it out!

Flute Spear Before ⬆️ After ⬇️ Question: Other than being able to use the Spear as a trampoline/ledge grab, what other uses would you imagine it could have that you'd enjoy? #pixelart | #metroidvania | #indiedev | #IndieGameDev | #ドット絵 | #gamedev

Little Snacklets Idle animation. Question: 🚨What kind of attacks do you imagine these little guys having? #pixelart | #indiedev | #IndieGameDev | #ドット絵 | #gamedev | #metroidvania

For the past month, the team ( @dpad.studio ) and I have been crunching to take care of a sudden deadline for a new, unannounced project. Today, we finally finished phase one! With that, we're going to be taking a short vacation for once. Its a long road ahead, but for now, a teaser. #pixelart #ドット絵

Want to smash stuff with a giant Guitar Axe? 🎸 (now with the animation playing) #pixelart | #indiedev | #IndieGameDev | #ドット絵 | #gamedev | #metroidvania

Here is the animation #wip

Which Snacklet is your favorite? 🚨 They're small. They're weird. And they're evolving. 👀 Row 1 → Row 2 when a Snacklet merges with itself. We’re still exploring “same + same” combos before diving into merged types and mini-bosses! #gamedev | #pixelart | #indiegames | #ドット絵

In the great song of creation, each studio plays a verse. These devs bend shadow, melody, and myth like we do. @playgreak.bsky.social @constancegame.bsky.social @asistersjourney.bsky.social Go show them some support. #followfriday | #metroidvania | #indiegames | #pixelart

I never posted the zequel (This looks far better in-game since this is a 200% regular zoom in-editor and not the actual game where everything is far crunchier. I'm also using a more intense light to prove a point.) EVERYTHING has a normal!!! #gamedev #indiegamedev #godotengine #pixelart

Well, found out that my twitter account has been hacked? I can't log into it at least, so if that account starts posting stupid stuff, I'm unfortunately not in control of it right now. :(

I'm happy and proud to say that I'm the lead background artist for Shade Protocol! Please wish list and follow the game, because the whole team is excited about what we're making! :)

Questions for you! 🚨 How are you liking the new animation and burst speed? 🔼Old 🔽New What wild things would you love to see the Dash do later in the game? (Go crazy, we’ve got our own ideas, but we’ll keep those secret... for now 😉) #gamedev | #pixelart | #indiegames

I'm so hyped for this! This is the game that I animated La Baba Royale for (pinned animation), and it's such a blast to play! I also did a ton of background work and other miscellaneous work on the game, so I'm incredibly proud of it. :) #pixelart #indiedev #Megaman #roguelike

Crushing corrupted code? ✅ Drifting through fractured skylines? 🌃 Finding light in unlikely echoes? That’s the real symphony. 🎼 #TrailerTuesday | #Metroidvania | #ドット絵 | #IndieGames

To all fathers on their day: Thank you for always cutting through the night to bring back some daybreak, the world is better because you'll be there when the sun rises tomorrow. #FathersDay2025 | #pixelart | #gamedev (Unfinished storyboard sketch art, but the love shows!)

So excited to continue my pixel art series Indie -X- Indie with none other than @kylethompsondev.bsky.social 's Crypt Custodian! A lovely top down metroidvania, with a gorgeous art direction. Share it around, and let me know what other indie games I should tackle next!

Happy #SteamNextFest , travelers of code and chaos! A standing ovation to the brilliant #Metroidvania projects bending pixels into poetry this week. If you're crafting a world of secrets, share it with us. We’ll do our best to play your demo! 🕹️ #steamnextfest #indiegames

🎻Zura plays. The world listens. A single violin echoes across a broken skyline not in rage, but in remembrance. Notes drift like stardust through static. For a moment, even the Protocol holds its breath. Beauty survives. Even here. #screenshotsaturday | #indiegames | #pixelart

Hard to believe it's only been 9 days since we officially revealed @shadeprotocolgame.bsky.social ! I'm so proud of what we're making. :) #indie #megaman #metroidvania #pixelart

I had so much fun chatting with Jared! It was awesome to get to talk about so much cool geeky and creative stuff! Thanks again, @razz-dazz-show-pod.bsky.social !

What if the last hope for humanity was a rogue machine who can rewrite reality itself? In a world consumed by Elythium, a sentient metal, Zura rises from the ruins to defy the metal god that broke the world. #TrailerTuesday | #IndieGame | #Metroidvania | #PixelArt | #ドット絵

Describe your game like a bad marketing intern: Imagine if Megaman had a goth phase and then started hacking the universe with a synth guitar while crying about existentialism. Anyway, there’s music and swords and feelings. Everything is dying. It's cool.

"Who is the blonde girl with the sniper rifle in the trailer?" 🔫👱‍♀️ She's an enemy called the Xavior Deathletter. Xaviors are a faction in the game, our main opposing force. #pixelart | #metroidvania | #indiegames

This is one if the mechanics in the game we're most excited about!
