One thing that we got influenced by for our character Lance's outfit was the metal band Twisted Sister. One of their most popular looks was an inspiration to pay homage to the iconic band in our turn-based metal game - Tactichord🎸 #OC #IndieDev #GameDev #art #OcSky

Tried this yesterday, a very unique combo of Strategy RPG + metal music band. Very enjoyable and hits a bit too close to home being an artist. lol

@mayshing.com Hello! It was nice seeing your gameplay of our game Tactichord yesterday! Our dev David enjoyed watching. We heard you had some advice and tips about gathering more followers on here, we'd love to know a little more about that if possible 😄

Tactichord: Glam Strategy - where turn-based meets metal ⚡ | #PitchYaGame Follow the story of the band Gemini, make your own metal songs by choosing lyrics and guitar riffs as the match goes on 🎸 Will you be able to convert all haters into fans and help Gemini reach stardom? #IndieDev #Indie

Ayo, I have this a look yesterday, and it is a *blast*. I love that we make our own songs!

The playtest for Tactichord is in progress as we speak... One thing some people like is the way you make metal songs as you play and get to listen to it in the form of a music video after you've finished a match 😀🎸 #ShowCaseThursday #TurnBasedThursday #IndieDev #IndieGame

I added some face emotes to Tactichord's heroine, Diane. Decals go a long way in a PS2-style face #animation. #indiegame #characterdesign #unity #3d

In Episode 4 of #EnduringPlay, a #GameDev podcast, @gamedeventura.bsky.social from @ichigoichiegames.bsky.social gets candid about the ups & downs of running indie studios; from the dark moments to the satisfaction of sustainable hours for quality games. Listen at enduringplay.com + other platforms!

In Tactichord we've added the targeting arcs you'll see in games like Fire Emblem. You won't know which will attack as the enemy AI is not totally straightforward, but you can get an idea of roughly how much damage you'd take by charging into the map. #tbt #indiegame #gameui

S1 E4 of #gameDev podcast #EnduringPlay, “The Global Heartbeat of Music Games,” is up now with @davidventura.bsky.social. This episode weaves music from @ichigoichiegames.bsky.social as we talk cultural translation, rhythm, & thriving studios. www.gamedevelopmentstrategyguide.com/enduring-pla...

We've turned seven! In 2018 we started a dream to build new kinds of musical experiences on Nintendo Switch, and here we are 3 games, 15 plugins and more pull-requests than we can count later. To celebrate we had our studio featured in this month's issue of the venerable Edge Magazine.

Day 1 of #malmogameweek is complete! We had awesome players stop by to try the Tactichord battle of the bands challenge and it was tight until the end. Come by Malmö Mässan tomorrow when there will be a fresh competition and 2 game codes up for grabs. #indiegame #gamemarketing

It's another #screenshotsaturday so take a look at one of Tactichord's many narrative choices, moments when you will choose whether Diane embraces empathy or teenage angst! #lowpoly #indiedev #gamedev

It's another #screenshotsaturday so here's an odd one, in Tactichord: Glam Strategy you can pivot the camera to make sure you can take in all of the levels, letting you also see the characters from a different 2.5D perspective. #lowpoly #indiedev #gamedev

It's another #screenshotsaturday and we're bringing you a look at Lance's power move, an epic knee slide! Use it when the haters are lined up neatly in order to wipe them out! #lowpoly #indiedev #gamedev

It's #screenshotsaturday so enjoy a little snippet of one of the possible music video moments that are created while you play and are displayed at the end of each level. #lowpoly #indiedev #gamedev

It's #screenshotsaturday so our objective is to post a screenshot to show you Tactichord: Glam Strategy in action and, well, objective complete! #lowpoly #indiedev #gamedev

It's another #screenshotsaturday so here's a moment of dialogue where three members of Gemini are in emphatic agreement on their plans! #lowpoly #indiedev #gamedev

It's #screenshotsaturday and here's a little screenshot of Joey's power move, the vocal wail, letting him scatter haters away from him! #lowpoly #indiedev #gamedev

We had a guest visitor this month! Runners Club 95 producer Carl Carlsson stopped by to sign a copy of our #vaporwave vinyl and help out again with an upcoming game. You may remember the fan favorite #synthwave level by @RClub95 in our first title @hexagroove.

It's another #screenshotsaturday and I thought you could all take a look at the tutorial screen for Joey's special, the vocal wail. What do you think, does this description explain the ability clearly to you? #lowpoly #indiedev #gamedev

It's another #screenshotsaturday so take a look at Joey, the lead singer of Gemini, taking being heckled by some haters, impacting the band's heat and lowering their score for the level! #lowpoly #indiedev #gamedev

It's another #screenshotsaturday so take a look at one of our favourite features in Tactichord: Glam Strategy, choosing lyrics for the lead singer, Joey, to sing! The lyrics you choose are incorporated into a music video at the end of the level! #lowpoly #indiedev #gamedev
