spent 3 days convinced i ruined my game turns out i just forgot to sprinkle in some dopamine #indiegame #gamedev #gamedesign

just made my roguelike's blessing system more indirect and synergistic and i can't tell if i made it better or worse it FEELS more interesting but i traded away the dopamine of big numbers 😭 is this game design or am i just coping @playbeluga.bsky.social #indiegame #gamedev #gamedesign

Another WIP of our boss fight for @playbeluga.bsky.social :)) #indiegame #gamesev #handdrawn

Decided to take our game jam game Beluga a little further - Here's a little sneak peek of the boss! #indiegame #gamedev #art

@hypnotikfox.bsky.social and I made a cute 2.5D roguelike in a week! It all started with a simple idea: what if a mouse and a whale teamed up? We somehow got second at the game jam, so now we’re wondering… is this worth continuing? r3lii.itch.io/belugas-blessing #indiegame #gamedev #roguelike

Found this by chance here on my feed. The art style is exactly what I like to see in videogames (besides pixel art) 💜

Heey y'all, me and @relii.bsky.social released a lil adventure game called Beluga's Blessing! You can play the game here :D r3lii.itch.io/belugas-blessing #gamedev #indiedev #gamerelease #gamejam #cookiejam #cutegame

Adding some juice to the end screen for Cookie Game Jam! Super cute art by @hypnotikfox.bsky.social :)) #indiegame #gamedev #art

Participated in #globalgamejam this past weekend! Met some amazing people and had so much fun designing and learning godot! For those who have not tried going to an in person jam, would highly recommend! #gamedev #indiegame imdeepfriedwater.itch.io/drip-or-drown

Post mortem 2! Colors, shapes and movements carry A LOT of personality. Keep it simple! Meet the MBTinys! They each have a unique personality. Can you guess what they are? #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart

Post-mortem 1 Having an OST that matches the vibe is quite important! For this game I focused on making something upbeat and catchy! soundcloud.com/r3lii/the-mb... #indiegame #gamedev #music

Just submitted my game for #MelonGameJam2025! Post mortems coming soon :)) r3lii.itch.io/mbtinys #indiegame #gamedev

This is the furthest I've gone in #inktober so I made a lil collage. Let's see if I can make it to the end of the month hehe #art #procreate

New #inktober update! A simple one that gets the idea across! #digitalart #procreate

Inktober update! TOday's theme was sting - decided to put a little more effort into the draft :)) #inktober #art #digitalart

Inktober update! This was for deer :)) Again focusing on composition and making a more 'complete' drawing #inktober #art #digitalart

Continuing the inktober! One I'm pretty proud of - pierce! Focusing on the elements of VFX this time!

Continuing my backlog of inktober prompts~ Tried to do an extreme perspective for starfish! #art #digitalart #inktober

Time for the inktober grind :DD trying to focus on composition this october! this is for day 2: weave :)) #art #inktober #digitalart

Tried to focus more on polish and art recently, so I joined a game jam! The game isn't balanced at all but here it is! It's a tactical roguelike where you play as a firefly guiding moths around! Definitely did not take the name from silksong r3lii.itch.io/mothsong #indiegame #gamedev #gamejam

Just got introduced to art-RP groups by my artist friend. It sounds sooo fun :)) and lowkey might be a good way to motivate myself to draw but i have no idea where to find them/ get into them. any suggestions? #arpg #art #roleplay

Practicing some UI icons! These are actually way more involved than I think. Especially hand-drawn! #gamedev #art #indiegame

drew these for #gmtkjam! Was told to draw a wizard, knight, pirate, and father — learnt a lot designing and making these characters distinct :) first time drawing in a more cozy style too. the game’s broken but hey, it’s here: thefreehuman.itch.io/loopsmith #indiegame #gamedev #art #gameart

Usually a solo dev, but joined #gmtkjam as a designer! Felt great to focus on art without juggling code. :D Learned a lot about character and UI design. Game didn’t make it, but I managed to convince the team to not make an RPG in 3 days. HMU if you wanna team up next time! 🎨👾 #indiegame #gamedev

Landscape practice! still tangentially journey inspired. But working on using different brushes! #pixelart #art #gamedev

Some practice on simple landscapes/backgrounds. Obviously very Journey inspired and rough but a pretty nice start :)) #art #gamedev #digitalart

The first step to creating effects in a game is to be able to understand it. And the best way to do so is to draw it :)) Trying to focus on creating different effects such as clouds, rings and reflections! #art #digitalart #gamedev

Time to post some concept art I drew for all the games I dumped! This was an attempt to make a more detailed concept of a mage/wizard in an rpg I was cooking up :)) #art #conceptart #gamedev

A response I got on my little game jam game :)) Maybe I am doing something right :)) #pixelgamejam2025 #indiegamedev

Finished up my game for #pixelgamejam2025 A story of a ghost mailman. Delivering letters from the dead to the living. r3lii.itch.io/from-the-dead-with-love

Bridging the land of the living and the dead! Built a cool shader + two crossfadeable soundtracks for the transition. Figured I’d give it extra love since it’s one of the most visited spots in the game #pixelgamejam2025 #indiegamedev #pixelart

New area - the junkyard 🚗 Also made a simple key + door system 🔒🗝️ Really happy on how the art came out :)) #pixelgamejam2025 #indiegamedev #pixelart

Ghost mailman update Made a lil mail pickup & reading system 👻📬✨ #pixelgamejam2025 #indiegamedev #pixelart

Game jam update! Added parallax, fog, lights + a new palette for the land of the dead! Also drew a tiny mausoleum-style post office :)) #pixelgamejam2025 #indiegamedev #pixelart

An update on my game jam! Came up with the overarching plotline and some major areas. Focusing on the color palette and cranking out backgrounds to set the mood asap. Color palettes are really important! Next: parallax and atmosphere! #pixelgamejam2025 #indiegamedev #pixelart

Decided to join a game jam! I usually focus way too much on making cool gameplay mechanics, but this time the focus is atmosphere + story. The theme is 'From The Dead' - so here’s a peek at the main character 💌 #pixelgamejam2025 #indiegamedev #pixelart
