holy shit mom i'm in an Iron Pineapple video

The Steam Next Fest is over. Our demo will be remaining up indefinitely, but we'd like to thank y'all for turning out over the past week anyway. This has been the best reception we've ever had for a demo, and we're extremely happy that it's been resonating with players.

"You're too slow!" Also, play the demo for Jenny the Witch here! #SteamNextFest #indiedev

locked on #screenshotsaturday

Live with day 3 of Next Fest! Featured: Rhell: Warped Worlds & Troubled Times by @slugglove.bsky.social No Vacation for an Executioner by @jayojayo.bsky.social Jenny the Witch by @catbirdsoft.net Esoteric Ebb by @chrisbodegard.bsky.social Dosa Divas by @outerloopgames.bsky.social Come hang out!

Our next game is Verminsteel! You're a bird with a broadsword, kicking thousands of fascists so hard they fly into the sun PLEASE go wishlist it, it'll make me really happy and help me stop low-key panicking and stuff: store.steampowered.com/app/4352280/... #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

New patch is live for the Jenny the Witch demo. Quick patch notes: * Fixed an issue (hopefully) where the game's text would break on Spanish-language PCs * Improved the cancel state of all grounded attacks (made the default dash cancel kick in earlier) * Added some aim tracking to air Hand Cannon

31. Jenny the Witch feels like a deeply transfem game. You play as a mech witch mercenary fighting legions of robots while bassy techno thumps through the speakers. I think I wish the movement was a little tighter, but maybe that's because the vibe is close to Pseudoregalia.

This move - HA5 Violet Cannon - is now available in the demo as of about 30 seconds ago. Also in this update: improvements to tracking on all of Jenny's attacks. Give it a shot: store.steampowered.com/app/4180990/...

Hey folks, time for a new Indie #ShowCasey! STEAM NEXT FEST EDITION! Are you a indie game developer? Do you have a demo in the Steam Next Fest? Reply below with a link to your game's page, and if you can give us a little elevator pitch! Use the hashtag if you like. I have one rule: No GenAI!

Jenny the Witch is part of the 2026 winter Steam Next Fest, which (as far as I can tell) starts right now. We'd really appreciated if you checked out our demo and gave it a wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/4180990/...

Screw it: if you or someone you know is making a game and you have a demo out for next fest, sound off below. I’m just playing through everything and writing down my thoughts. Signal boost a little for the indies in the back!

The arcade lightgun shooter is a largely lost art. This game gets it. And goes UNSPEAKABLY HARD, thematically. Goddamn, that demo opening is clever. I realy need to know if those new Sinden-style lightguns can work on it...

The part of this that I really wanted to show off is our custom tool for animation data (that shot with the red bars). Unity's built in anim event shit runs badly and you can't do a lot with it. Our tool lets you quickly apply hitboxes, sounds, VFX, etc and see them in real time as you adjust them.

Hey, #screenshotsaturday. We got our demo out this week, so mostly I've been doing bugfixes and stuff, but I did also get this super built out. I figured WIP shots might also be interesting to see - it starts in Blender, then goes to Unity where we apply VFX and other events to the animation.

Hey folks! New patch for the Jenny demo is live on Steam. We've fixed a few bugs and adjusted balance to favor attacking with Jenny's broom. Full patch notes in the replies!

The Jenny the Witch demo is out now on Steam. We hope you enjoy it.

had a lot of fun with the jenny the witch demo, All Girls can do a beam attack. have a lot of love for this team, real stoked they're still exploring this setting. and now you can, too! if you liked "Steel Carnelian" and want some more, or you just like hitting people, this one's for you

"I LIIIIIIIIIIVE!!!" The official demo for JENNY THE WITCH is now live on Steam! Go forth and smite thine enemies!!!

The Jenny the Witch demo drops tomorrow. Check out these concept sketches of Jenny over the years. She's changed a lot! (although honestly less than you'd think)

It's the weekend again, and that means another #screenshotsaturday. Here's one of Jenny's super moves, Hex Configuration. It doesn't do a lot of damage, but it stuns every active enemy. Demo drops next Wednesday, btw. Get excited.

Haven't done a #screenshotsaturday post in a while. Here's an enemy type returning from Steel Carnelian - enemies that shoot homing, parriable missiles. New to this game: Jenny parries by swinging her broom instead of using a parry button. Smack enemies and projectiles away at the same time!

ATTENTION INDIEDEVS Show off your art style My cartoony pixel art style for Blackmask is a simulacrum of a Gameboy pixel artstyle. The sprites I made are too large to fit in a real cart, but it's a personal goal to make the color limits work to convey the world Cole lives in.

ATTENTION INDIEDEVS Show off your art style We've been working in kind of a pseudo-retro style. We use low poly / low resolution elements, but our lighting is actually quite modern - we just use a special texel-space lighting setup to make it fall nicely over our pixel art textures.

it's the winter sale. i got sick yesterday and didn't have time to make a poster about it, but could you buy splatter anyway? either steam or itch is good. thanks in advance

Splatter came out three years ago today. I don't have much clever to say - it was a big project, it changed our lives, I'm constantly grateful for the people who have played it and appreciated it. Here are the concept sketches I did back in 2020 that turned into a whole fucked-up game.

Late #screenshotsaturday (had a really funny build-only bug to resolve) but we got there. Here's a pack of miniature bomb drones. These guys do a lot of damage (and they're fast too), but they've got very little health. Shoot quickly and keep your aim steady if you don't want to get blown to pieces.

Five-year anniversary today of the release of Meat Shift. This was the first game Rat King ever finished, and it was the point at which we realized we could make video games that people wanted to play. It's pretty rough, but I'm still proud of what we did. ratkingcollective.itch.io/meatshift
