Finished a new 1 HP enemy that explodes on death. Granting block/armor to nearby allies and spreading tile grime. The extra block forces you to strategically think about your kill order. #gamedev #indiegames #madewithunity #unity3d #cardgame #roguelike

Working on a new level with units that create terrain when attacked. You'll have to cleverly play cards to work around their defense mechanism. #gamedev #indiegames #madewithunity #unity3d #cardgame #roguelike

I wasn't sure why my game's builds were pumping out 200FPS+ and causing my GPU to scream. I thought it was just a badly optimized scene. But it looks like the default Unity setup had vsync shut off for whatever reason in settings... Game builds barely make any GPU noise now #unity3D #gamedev

Struggling to store wave data in a visual format for my card game. I created a simple grid editing system to store wave data in a ScriptableObject. Now I rapidly prototype levels by painting onto the map. More details in the comments. #gamedev #indiegames #madewithunity #unity3d #screenshotsaturday

The game that heavily inspired my card game Burn The Hive is deeply discounted for less than $3 right now. An absolute must play if you like games like Into The Breach, FTL, and tower defense. store.steampowered.com/app/1105670/...

Slay the Spire 2 has sold 3 million copies in 1 week store.steampowered.com/news/app/286...

Was really unhappy with the old rewards menu at the end of combat so I rewrote it. Players now get credits and a reward card from each deck. #gamedev #madewithunity #indiegames #scifi #unity3d #gameui #roguelike #cardgame

Added a new "Flare Gun" like card that allows you to debuff a target and scatter neighboring units. It can also be used to make your own units reposition if you're clever when playing it. #gamedev #indiegames #cardgame #madewithunity #unity3d

A cyberpunk JRPG game prototype I made back in 2023. Ultimately dropped the game due to scoping issues. But I still love the concept and my modeling/animation skills have improved significantly since this was made (a lot of mixamo animations in here). #jrpg #gamedev #indiegames #videogames

Finished up a pass on the shop system and started playing with light bleed effects to create a more retro-future feeling interface. #gamedev #madewithunity #indiegames #retrofuture #scifi #shaders #unity3d #screenshotsaturday

I made the art for Tavern Trickster with my partner in just 2 days this weekend for Global Game Jam 2026. An inscription / shotgun roulette inspired shell game. #screenshotsaturday #ggj2026 #gamedev #indiegames #madewithunity

Check out my new fully animated exploration system. It lets you select a path to power up your cards and gear. What do you think? #gamedev #madewithunity #indiegames #retrofuture #tron #bladerunner #scifi #unity3d #roguelike #cardgame

An early look at my game's exploration art. Going for a retro future style computer system similar to the Alien universe. As simple as this looks it took me way longer than expected to get all the shaders working correctly. #gamedev #madewithunity #indiegames #tron #scifi #shaders #unity3d

Don't forget to upgrade to Blender 5 which has a bunch of new features and a ton of QOL improvements. www.blender.org/download/rel... #blender #3dModeling #gamedev

Simple Tron style shader R&D for my game's exploration map. True wireframe shader (left cube) vs baked simple textures (top and right). #gamedev #madewithunity #indiegames #tron #scifi #shaders #unity3d

Artifact system is fully functioning in-game now with draft locations on the map. Still need to come up with some sort of drafting randomizer system though. #indiegames #gameui #gamedev #roguelike

An unused boss design for "The Harvester" from a dice game prototype I made last year. Hoping to integrate it into my current deck builder project. Heavily inspired by The Matrix and Gundam robot designs. #gamedev #blender #blender3D #scifi #gamedev #lowpoly #indiegames

Grav bombs are great for knocking enemies off ledges. But they also double as movement cards if you don't mind a little damage. #gamedev #indiegames #madewithunity #scifi #unity3d #cardbattler #roguelike #screenshotsaturday

Congrats to my friend Alice on her Steam launch of Hyperbeat. A great PS1 style rhythm game with gorgeous graphics and great music tracks.

Another unit done for my deck builder. Always loved 1980s action and scifi films. Feel like this outfit could fit in one. #gamedev #blender #substance #scifi #gamedev #lowpoly

Steam page for Ardor 2 is up! Wishlist now! store.steampowered.com/app/3964890/...

With the new defense deployment cards I had to rewrite the enemy movement AI. Enemies now move perfectly in sync and have a "hive mind" awareness of every unit position. #gamedev #indiegames #madewithunity #scifi #unity3d #cardbattler #roguelike #aipathfinding

Inspector panels are now fully working. They visualize any unit you hover over and it gives a detailed breakdown of the character with their action, status effects, and more. #gamedev #indiegames #gameui

Finally got around to doing the main character model for the 1st deck. It's actually a rework of a much older model, in fact one of the first characters I ever made in Blender (seen on right). #gamedev #blender #substance #scifi #gamedev #lowpoly

Currently at SLICE. Having a great time. Impressive show of games on the open demo floor #seattle

BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really. Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are. This is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Up-close shot of the explosive cannister. Model is a partial kitbash in #blender where I dug out the center and replaced it with the red core. Then re-textured from scratch in #substance for hard surfaces. #lowpoly #scifi #gamedev #indiegames #3dModeling

Chain reactions are working in the game and throw enemies off ledges. I was a bit worried I'd have to rewrite a lot to make this work, but was surprisingly simple using a resolution queue. #gamedev #indiegames #madewithunity #scifi #unity3d #cardbattler #roguelike

If you're looking for a GDC alternative, the @seattleindies.bsky.social are hosting a games industry event in Seattle Washington on August 27th. If you're going to be at PAX West it's just a few days before. Hope to see you there! seattleslice.org #indiegames #gamedev #gdc #seattle #paxwest

Ready to dive into a dark future? 🔥 Sign up for Burn The Hive's closed beta now! A tactical card game that mixes Slay The Spire's strategy with Plants vs Zombies' chaos. 🧠💥 🔗 Join here: sendfox.com/burn_the_hive #gamedev #cardgames #indiegames #slaythespire #plantsvszombies #videogames

Got burn status effects and AOE cards fully functional in the game. Fun to watch an entire group of enemies vanish. #gamedev #indiegames #madewithunity #scifi #unity3d #cardbattler #roguelike

Tinkering with some new card art direction to denote targeting ally units instead of enemies #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #unity3d #cardGame #blender #substancePainter #madewithunity

Finished texturing a new venus fly trap inspired enemy for my game. Feels like I'm slowly getting better at texturing. #gamedev #blender #substance #scifi #gamedev #lowpoly

Blender has a shortcut key (shift + I) to build IK bindings. How am I just now learning about this??? #blender3d #rigging #3dModeling #gamedev www.youtube.com/shorts/77Rvf...

Working on a new ranged enemy type with projectile paths you can strategically plan around. #gamedev #indiegames #scifi #cyberpunk #lowpoly #madewithunity #unity3d

The fight for survival begins! Runebow is out now on Itch.io for free. Can you survive each encounter and make it out the other side alive? #indiedev #Itch.io aieseattle.itch.io/runebow

Friends in the Tacoma Seattle area. I'll have a playable demo of Burn The Hive at this Seattle Indies demo event tomorrow. If you go please stop by and say hi. www.meetup.com/seattleindie...

One of my favorite past projects. An older model I did a few years back for a JRPG that didn't make it past the prototype phase. Planning to rework and incorporate it into Burn The Hive as a heavy gunner unit. #gamedev #indiegames #scifi #cyberpunk #blender3d #throwbackthursday #3dModeling

New dynamic spreading grime system. Enemy bug structures will spread infection each turn empowering nearby allies with special effects. #gamedev #indiegames #scifi #cyberpunk #darkfuture #unity3d #madewithunity #cardgame #turnbasedcombat #screenshotsaturday

APC tank for my game. Acts as the player's home base during rogue-like runs. #indiegames #gamedev #blender3D #substancePainter #scifi #vehicles

A few re-usable prop highlights I did today for my game's environments. Pretty happy with how these turned out. #gamedev #blender #substancePainter

Cranking in #blender3d on the first environment combat scene for "Burn The Hive." Models all look great, but there's still a lot of texturing to do. #gamedev #indiegames #scilfi #cyberpunk

Got card galleries up and running in my game. You can now inspect your deck, draw, exile, and discard pile with a simple click. #gamedev #indiegames #cardGame #madeWithUnity #unity3D

I think my life is changed after creating #unity3D particles with the VFX graph. This feels like a faster way to pump out scripting friendly VFX animations without fighting with the bloat that comes with the default particle system #indieGameDev youtu.be/YtrOYF8r7lc?...

One of my favorite robots I rigged, textured, and animated. Was part of an abandoned prototype, but wanted to post it here. (sorry for the repost, forgot to remove some background noise in the audio) #gamedev #indiegames #scifi #blender3d #animation

Kenney Jam will return July 18th - July 20th! ✨Will you help make this year's the biggest yet? itch.io/jam/kenney-j...

Added in gunshot bullets with trails and impacts to help with readability when units fire. #madeWithUnity #gamedev #indiegames #cardGames

An un-released mech character I created for a game prototype that didn't work out a while back. Heavily inspired by anime mechs and space pirates. #gamedev #blender #indiegames #mechs

What you can do with particle FX and Unity 3D's URP post processing stack is hella impressive. I did a quick 30 min test to create some sample card art and the results speak for themselves. No extra lighting or baking needed, just moving a bunch of dials. #gamedev #madeWithUnity #screenShotSaturday
