Beware the critters and their skeletal fellows in the caves.

Proud to officially host this week's #TurnBasedThursday! ⚔️ #IndieDev and players from all around the world, share your favorite turn-based game below! (And don't forget to add the hashtag to increase your visibility 👀) Let's make some noise ❤️🔄

The 🗡 Rogue is a cunning utilitarian unit who can disarm traps, unlock doors without a key, steal items from enemies, and attack from a distance! But be careful; she can only defend herself in melee range! #indiegame #srpg #rpg #turnbased

Been doing lots of performance tuning lately, but I wanted to give some love to an old unit portrait to bring it more inline with the rest of the art style. #gamedev #pixelart

Was super stoked to participate in XP Indie Biz Connect Atlantic in Charlottetown this weekend! It was awesome to see such a vibrant community here and get lots of fresh eyes on Superstar Strategy! ♥ #XP25

The 🪓 Marauder is a beefy tank unit that can pick up other units and channel his rage, dealing more damage when he's low on HP. He can recover half of his missing HP if he defeats an enemy unit with Guillotine! #indiegame #pixelart #srpg

Alexa how to social media?

The 🧙‍♂️ Mage is a glass cannon master of terrain who can manipulate the battlefield with his variety of traps and obstacles. He can swap places with other units, which can be used to force enemies onto his traps! #srpg #indiegame #pixelart

🌐 LIVE NOW Playing through 13 years of #gamemaker projects, talking about lessons learned, diving into old jank code and much more! Hope to see you there~ 🔴 twitch.tv/grogdev #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev

I've been MIA on here but that changes today with EXCITING NEWS! 📢 My Tiny Park is coming to Steam! ✨ . . Wishlist it today! 💙 store.steampowered.com/app/3578440/... #gamedev #pixelart

Working on some enhanced Steam integration stuff, including full support of SteamInput and Remote Play Together. I can update the UI glyphs to match the input device seamlessly, and prevent the Remote Play participants from using the main menu to mitigate griefing. I made custom icons, too! #gamedev

The 🐎 Cavalier is a highly mobile skirmisher who can dash in and out of combat. Strike foes from afar, and retreat to safer ground! #srpg #indiegame #tactical

This past weekend I made my first #VR (and 3D!) game for the Global Game Jam with some local talent. It was a nice break from the grind, and I'm excited to try more 3D work after my current project is finished! talberon.itch.io/light-reading #gamedev #globalgamejam #virtualreality #godot

Happy Holidays!

The 🤺 Fencer is a burst-damage duelist who can give up his next turn for an extra action. Used wisely, you can eliminate a tough enemy unit by attacking it twice, or weave between enemies to do a double takedown! #rpg #indiegame #tactical

Steelbreakers is a 1-to-4P party brawler inspired by the classics. You can play together or alone in wave defense and time trial modes, or prove who's the best Steelbreaker by challenging your friends in PVP! Try out the free demo on Steam: s.team/a/2631150?ut... #indiegame #gaming #coop #pvp

If 2's a couple and 3’s a crowd, Four is a Party! Steelbreakers is featured in the #fourisaparty Multiplayer Celebration this week on Steam! s.team/a/2631150 Hack and slash your way to victory in 4P Co-Op and Versus in the free Steelbreakers demo! Then, party on with other games in the event!

The 🎸 Bard is an aura support unit that can provide bonuses to allies within range of her music. She can also play Solo when she's alone to boost herself even more! 🤘 #indiegame #rpg #tactical #pixelart

Next time I say I'm going to make an RPG, slap me. I never want to work this long on a solo project again.

The 🏆 Champion is a tough bruiser who can push and pull enemies and steal their advantageous positions. He can also stay in extended fights by recovering his armor as he deals damage! #srpg #pixelart #indiegame #tactical

What if a car could wield a sword? #gamedev

Superstar Strategy's campaign lets you unlock 🎖 Emblems from special chests or optional Bosses. If you can obtain and hold onto these until the end of a successful mission, you can use them for bonuses in the next battle, like a stat boost, free items or even additional skills! #indiegame #rpg

Revamped my tactics combat system 🏀 Hoopers still have 3 sets of moves (On-Ball, Off-Ball, Defense) 🎲 Players will have to manage their rolls and Hooper fatigue to get the most out of their possessions #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #turnbased #basketball #rpg

Superstar Strategy was originally a PvP-focused game like Sol Standard (my very first game). I've learned a lot since then, and I felt like it deserved better, so I started a sequel/remake. You can play the original Sol Standard for free on itch! talberon.itch.io/sol-standard

As a follow-up, and since I only shared a portion of my work on Cohort, I decided to post a series of messages featuring graphics and insights that I hope will be helpful to fellow game developers. Prepare for a long thread because this project lasted 12 years. #gamedev #gameart #postmortem 🧵1/n

Launchpads let you jump over obstacles and enemy units so that you can outflank them and gain a tactical advantage! #srpg #turnbased #tacticalrpg #pixelart

For #ScreenshotSaturday I tried to make a video of the combat simulator in action. Apologies for the poor quality as I had to magnify this one a bit to fit full screen. It plays to the 3rd scenario, about an hour of gameplay, in 18 seconds! (it can go faster😘) #gamedev #RPG #indiedev

Visiting a tropical island! 🌴 #pixelart #rpg #indiegame

Steelbreakers is a 1-to-4P party brawler inspired by the classics. You can play together or alone in wave defense and time trial modes, or prove who's the best Steelbreaker by challenging your friends in PVP! Try out the free demo on Steam: s.team/a/2631150?ut... #indiegame #gaming #coop #pvp

An early look at 🖱 mouse support for Superstar Strategy. Rotary menus can be rotated with the scroll wheel, and the menu style toggle lets you use rotary or carousel styles depending on how you'd rather control them. The Main Menu has also been overhauled to be more accessible.

Microgame finished! Broom Breaker joins the Loungeware microgame collection, and is playable in your browser~ loungeware.games/play #gamedev #pixelart

Paladins are tanky units that like to debuff enemies unless they attack her instead of her friends. Oh, and she deals more damage when she's defending, too! 💪

Adding a system for sentry units that spot an enemy to alert nearby allies, and also enable waking sentries via a switch/cutscene/sideEffect trigger, which will enable some cool opportunities for dynamic mid-map events.

Bluesky finally has video, so now I can show off my game in motion. ☀ Superstar Strategy is a colourful turn-based tactical RPG that lets you command unique units with powerful skills on the battlefield against any threat! ♥ Wishlist on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/1756730?...
