Cute little tileset I must admit. Coming along nicely. Idea is to have weapons on the sprite change depending on what you're holding. Currently there are 20+ weapon types, and they all have their "hold in hand" miniature versions. #RealmsOfAncardia by @brannalbin.bsky.social

Conjuring dungeon tiles for @brannalbin.bsky.social 's #RealmsOfAncardia Definitely want more movement for the monsters, it's a good start. Good thing is that there's no purely visual tile logic, to keep it simple Also this time I'm not falling for the GIF trap ;) MP4 power! #gamedev #indiedev

Example of skill icons for @brannalbin.bsky.social 's Realms of Ancardia. The 3rd row is what makes it in-game. They're not the best looking, but they fit the theme better. Last row are mini-icons that will be added to the font spritesheet #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #roguelike #rpg

Morning, hope you're all having a lovely day =) Doing some more portraits for #RealmsOfAncardia #roguelike #rpg Mostly exporting. Bit of UI work after that. There's a certain elegance to 1bit art that I'm starting to appreciate.

Day 25. Biomass is Biomass :D #warhammer40k #tyranids

Entering towns in @brannalbin.bsky.social 's #roguelike #rpg #RealmsOfAncardia The gleam is way overboard, maybe we'll skip that ;) I've written the description myself, I'm not sure if that's what they'll look like in the full game. Different guards depending on the ruling body (literally! :D)

Found this old thing in the archives, completely forgot :-0 Never used for anything...just...made it? Cool =) #gameart #sketchbook #art #digitalart #gameart

A small gif of moon phases in @brannalbin.bsky.social's #RealmsOfAncardia :) #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #roguelike #rpg

Hello all, hope you're doing well =) All good here! I've been sitting on this since last week, almost forgot to post. Character portrait creation concept for @brannalbin.bsky.social 's #RealmsOfAncardia It may not end up looking that way, but it's a sweet idea anyway ;) #roguelike #rpg #pixelart

Here we go with development update 12 for #RealmsOfAncardia: www.roguelike.games/2025/09/11/r... Posting will slow down a little with these updates as we currently work on many internal things that are not that exciting to report. Stay tuned nonetheless. #roguelike #programming

Good afternoon, hope you're all good =) In the weeds today, composing UI, breaking it down into tasks. @brannalbin.bsky.social 's #RealmsOfAncardia progressing nice and consistent. #gamedev #inidedev #gameart #roguelike #rpg

This creator is really is a small little thing, and I enjoy it immensely :D #roguelikes #rpg

Hello there, hope everyone is doing well this fine Monday! Quick example of @brannalbin.bsky.social 's #RealmsOfAncardia character portrait system in all it's glory, including the usual (and unusual) #rpg #roguelike cast of races Yes, colors are editable. #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #pixelart

Hello, hope everyone is doing well :) Here's a prototype portrait creator for @brannalbin.bsky.social 's #RealmsOfAncardia Very oldschool UI :) It's on itch...but unlisted...is anyone even interested in trying it? #roguelike #rpg #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart Have a great weekend everyone!

Good morning, hope you're all well. Was moving house last week so pardon the lack of usual updates. This week in #RealmsOfAncardia from @brannalbin.bsky.social : UI and Character generation. And portraits =) Yes, with color and hair/beard styles eventually! #roguelike #rpg #gamedev #pixelart

Fast-paced and turn-based - the return of a roguelike legend! *Jupiter Hell Classic* packs procedural levels, explosive weapons, and brutal tactical combat. Early Access starts NOW! store.steampowered.com/app/3126530/...

Good afternoon, hope everyone is having a good day :) Tweaking colors a bit, aiming for a darker atmosphere and making sure the interesting parts are clearly legible. After that, more UI pixels, as required. #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #realmsofancardia #roguelike #rpg

Good afternoon, hope you're having a lovely day :) Pixelling monsters today for #RealmsOfAncardia. And to illustrate - an oldschool way of keeping track of sprites. Config file for beings has ~300 entries. Gods have mercy on us @brannalbin.bsky.social #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #roguelike #rpg

Good afternoon, hope you're having a lovely day. All good here. Pixelling some things today, and in the meantime enjoying @brannalbin.bsky.social 's cheat menu. Definitely some life-changing cheats here :-0 #roguelike #rpg #gamedev #indiedev #gameart Pardon the experimental color pixels.

Hello everyone, hope you're all having a wonderful evening. Reluctant to ask because it smells of engagement fishing, but I'm stuck in my own head about this... Do you prefer prettier pixels like on the left, or more gameplay with a simplified look? #roguelike #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #rpg

Good morning everyone, hope you're having a lovely day :) All good over here! Preparing for a move and starting a week of graphical work with something great from @brannalbin.bsky.social The world of Ancardia is now a globe :D #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #rpg #math #monogame #gameart #pixelart

Hello everyone, hope you're all having a lovely day! Lots of boring UI things this week, but I did manage to take a look at a more realistic Ancardian map for @brannalbin.bsky.social Wanted it to feel more like a real place... Have a great weekend! =) #rpg #roguelike #gamedev #indiedev #gameart

Good evening BSky, hope you're all doing well :) Realms of Ancardia continues, meanwhile an update for Strategy Game Icons is also in the works :) Yes, they're free! ravenmore.itch.io #gamedev #indiedev #gameart Taking a while. Though I do feel I've improved somewhat on the color front.

Hello everone, hope you're doing well. Here's a realistic picture of us crawling towards the weekend. No wait, that's ChAoS consuming the sun and stars. @brannalbin.bsky.social is still cooking ;) Have a lovely weekend everyone =) #roguelike #rpg #RealmsOfAncardia #gamedev #indiedev #gameart

Good morning Bluesky, hope you're all having a lovely day =) @brannalbin.bsky.social 's #RealmsOfAncardia coming along nicely. Added some visual flair to the cursors. Devil is in the details. Prototype done in Unity may or may not be implemented ;) #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #roguelike #rpg

Good afternoon, hope you're all having a good day :) This week adding art to liven up the UI in RealmsOfAncardia by @brannalbin.bsky.social. Should have tested if it overpowers the panel BEFORE comitting to it? Perhaps...lessons learned. #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #roguelike #RealmsOfAncardia

Good morning, hope you're all doing well! Fresh pixel art to start the day. Silently encroaching on the UI... an iteration of the "chaos progress bar" for #RealmsOfAncardia by @brannalbin.bsky.social Now back to crafting pixels. Have a pleasant weekend =) #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #pixelart

#ADOM #AncientDomainsOfMystery starsigns are back in #RealmsOfAncardia. In the Ancardian calendar months are named after the star signs. There are 12 months of 30 days each (nice and even ;)) @brannalbin.bsky.social #gamedev #indiedev #gameart

Thinking about a UI that gets covered in growth as the world state changes. Feel maybe too plant-like rather than tentacle like? Maybe a simple bar makes more sense... #roguelike #gamedev #indiedev #RealmsOfAncardia @brannalbin.bsky.social

#RealmsOfAncardia now haz framez... and better typography, spacing and a unified color scheme for the character generation screen. #roguelike #programming

This is what happens when I overwrite the city tileset with the monster tileset by accident. @brannalbin.bsky.social Enjoy the horror show, bsky, and have a great weekend =) #RealmsOfAncardia Just in case bsky butchers the gif again, there's an imgur version: imgur.com/gallery/what...

Night lights in #RealmsOfAnardia just got slightly prettier. #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #roguelike Sit on the pier, visit a tavern, watch the ships sail in for the night.

End of this week is marked by a slight logo cleanup. Plenty of spritework done. More silly monsters coming. Have a restful weekend everyone :) #roguelike #gamedev #indiedev #gameart

Once again! This time with a proper GIF =) LICEcap is great for this., #gamedev #indiedev #gameart

@brannalbin.bsky.social Saving this for posterity. #RealmsOfAncardia Family picture of about 100-ish monsters before assigning them sprites and colors. Look how wiggly they are! =) #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #roguelike

People come up with these amazing #ai #chatgpt uses and whenever I try to do something it just bizarrely fizzles out?? I asked it for a list of #adom #roguelike #gamedev monsters and their colors. It couldn't color the symbols but proposed colored squares instead I said OK and here's what I got...

I’ve been reviewing some portfolio submissions at work to help HR and wanted to throw a few random ideas out into the wind.

Comitting the first iteration of the item spritesheet file, and suddenly felt it looks kind of cute. #gamedev #indiedev #gameart

@bsky.app Why u no gif?? How is a pixel art game supposed to live?? Anyways.... Intro screen for @brannalbin.bsky.social 's Realms of Ancardia in it's full 2-bit glory. #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #pixelart #animation @slynyrd.bsky.social and @adamcyounis.bsky.social THANK YOU FOR THE TUTS!!!

The font spritesheet used in #RealmsOfAncardia is free! It's based off the incredible Iosevka font, slightly edited to fit a rigid 10x15 grid. Did all the silly work to put it together, why not share? ;) ravenmore.itch.io/iosevka-font #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #font #pixelart

It's also the third time this week (or so it feels) that I get caught by the "gifs are static on bsky" trap. #gamedev #indiedev #gameat #pixelart It was supposed to move >_> @brannalbin.bsky.social

Like in #ADOM, calendar days in #RealmsOfAncardia (by the one and only @brannalbin.bsky.social) can have special meaning. Silvermoon? Darkmoon? Or maybe you feel slightly exhausted starting a run on a Monday? =) Conjuring up a thematic time of day UI indicator. #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #pixelart

#RealmsOfAncardia citizens milling about. @brannalbin.bsky.social Also new monospace font, Iosevka. Some color adjustments to tone down the noise. #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #pixelart #roguelike

Day / Night cycle conjured up by @brannalbin.bsky.social #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #pixelart #roguelike Who's awake and burning candles at 3:40AM???

Testing indication of citizens milling about for #RealmsOfAncardia Not sure about this... #gamedev #indiedev #gameart

Forgot to add wind *sigh*. It's a good first step! Very fire-y #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #pixelart

ravenmoreart.gumroad.com/l/Dithering FREE 18 dithering patterns for Photoshop. Because not all cool kids use Aseprite. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #gameart My 1-bit phase continues.

Someone asked about the Free + Premium tier model vs pure Paid. Released on Saturday, posted to Reddit. Got a boost out of the New & Popular page. Definitely see an increase in views and downloads. No idea if this helps or hurts sales. I'm glad people are downloading at least ;) #gamedev

I think that's a first, accepted to the Unity Asset Store straight away =) No changes, no updates. assetstore.unity.com/packages/2d/... #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #unity3D

Pixel version of the space shooter assets is up. The amount of work that went into this is ungodly >_> And I still feel like I want to expand it. ravenmore.itch.io/pixel-space-... The old files are FREE. I'm testing this approach..feels a bit confusing to me, but maybe? #gamedev #indiedev #gameart
