This'll be the finalized character portrait for Yurushi. We're very lucky to have @tg-marlo.bsky.social, that's for sure - she turned out perfectly. <3 #illustration #art #digitalart #mecha #robotgirl #indiedev #gamedev #Heavensfall #イラスト #ロボ娘 #創作 #メカ #ロボット #ロボ #アンドロイド #SF

mecha progress continues!! weapons up next (lookin out for any cool suggestions too) :3 #art #3d

Hi, here is another illustration I made.

Huh. This shouldn't be here. We'll just throw this one away, you don't have to worry about it. :) #art #digitalart #drawing #illustration #characterart #mecha #indiedev #gamedev #conceptart #scifi #cyberpunk #cyborg #Heavensfall

Character design is hard

And apparently the only guy on the squad is Major Leon Sharpe. Think of him as a handler, making sure Yurushi doesn't try any of that GLaDOS funny business. Probably just a big softie once you get to know him. :) #art #digitalart #mecha #indiedev #gamedev #Heavensfall

Next Bond character is Lunaire, a fresh ensign assigned to Machina squadron. She's the team point man, and she's got some shit to work out. Oh - since I kinda skipped last week, I'll give you guys two art posts today. Keep it fair. :3 #art #yuri #digitalart #mecha #indiedev #gamedev #Heavensfall

I'm currently running a public online playtest for Drift Shell on my discord! discord.gg/WQAbwdNRmy Grab the latest test build of the game from the dev-update channel and you can make a mech of your own to fight online with! #driftshell #mecha #lowpoly #psx #indiegame #gamedev

Decided to try my hand at modeling and texturing that shotgun I showed off the other day. Still figuring out what to name it, though. 🤔 #godot #lowpoly #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #Heavensfall

funny anecdote, I wasn't even really into video games until I got hold of my cousin's PSP and played his copy of Persona 3, back in 2007 or so. it was the first time a game had ever given me a choice to play as a girl, where it actually mattered. #persona #persona3

Implementing bullet spread has been a huge deal. It makes engagements far less predictable, incentivizes some riskier CQB tactics, and - of course - lets me implement a badass shotgun. #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #godot #mecha #devtober #Heavensfall

Yurushi is our player character. Zen, reserved, and cool as ice - she is the latest innovation in the Coalition's arsenal, designed by Drake Heavy Industries to cement their power over the ruined Earth. #art #digitalart #mecha #robotgirl #indiedev #gamedev #Heavensfall

@litemechanist.bsky.social has been doing good work on our tracers lately. Reaction fire animations are also triggering properly now. Should be much easier to tell when and where you're getting shot, now. #indiedev #gamedev #mecha #mech #godot #devtober #Heavensfall

Got UI and sound effects implemented. Hopefully this small showcase gets the idea of the *basic* TRPG gameplay loop across, but there'll be way more toys and mechanics implemented later for sure. Melee and E-warfare in particular. #GameDev #IndieDev #godot #Devtober #Mecha #lowpoly #Heavensfall

🧀 #mecha #lowpoly #GameDev #indiedev #godot #devtober #Heavensfall

Finally got some animations implemented. Working on implementing a "shooting" animation next - and maybe some sound effects too. #IndieDev #GameDev #mecha #godot #lowpoly #Heavensfall #devtober

Crystal is the perfect character to introduce the Bond mechanics for us. She's practically Yurushi's already best friend by the time Heavensfall takes place, aside from being her maintenance technician. She's...enthusiastic, about her job. #digitalart #indiedev #yuri #Heavensfall

Benefit of having a messy desk: Using empty mugs to visualise 3D space when working on AI targeting. They even have a handle for which way they're pointing, it's perfect. #gamedev #godot

Our first two characters, courtesy of @tg-marlo.bsky.social ! These two are inseparable - a prototype robot girl and her maintenance engineer/best friend - which is good because #Heavensfall is as much about relationships as it is about giant robots. #indiedev #mecha #yuri #digitalart #robotgirl

Apologies for the quiet! Been coordinating with artists and dealing with some bureaucratic nightmares behind the scenes. Plenty of big things in the pipeline, don't you worry. ❤️

I think really the greatest loss in the great shortening of TV series across all countries is the complete erasure of slice of life/sitcom elements. Mecha was better when it was a slice of life too.

Lite's put together a way to look at things from the enemy AI's perspective. This setup briefly pauses itself as they move through their decision making process, letting us break it down step by step. #godot #indiedev #indiegamedev #heavensfall #mecha #mech #debug #gamedev

Don't mind me, just spreading the word a little more. #screenshotsaturday #indiegamedev #heavensfall

The basic enemy AI is working nicely now. The presentation isn't pretty, but having the functional bones put together is still incredibly exciting - especially since even those basic elements are surprisingly engaging. #indiedev #gamedev #heavensfall #mecha #godot #lowpoly #mech

where is bro going #indiedev #indiegamedev #mecha #debug #heavensfall #godot #lowpoly

We've started getting our first few donations on our Ko-Fi! Thank you all so very much, it really does mean the world to me. And even just a little bit helps so much. Just in case you didn't know, we've got donations for HEAVENSFALL set up here! ko-fi.com/teamlilypunk #ko-fi #donations #indie

So yesterday I announced the name "Heavensfall," but I did it in all caps - "HEAVENSFALL." Lite and I were talking, and sorta considered that the all-caps version might actually be even better as a title for a few reasons. What do you guys think? #heavensfall #indiedev #gamedev #mecha #rpg

I can't get over this logo that @imasiphy.bsky.social‬ made for us. It's the perfect vibe - femininity, defiance, and girl love! And we've decided to reveal Litkit's name: Our first game, the Narrative-Heavy, Character-Driven Tactical Mecha RPG, will be HEAVENSFALL. #indiedev #gamedev #heavensfall

New devlog! #indiedev #gamedev #mecha #RPG #lowpoly #screenshotsaturday #godot

Posting some dev shots of our narrative-heavy, character-driven Tactical Mecha RPG: Project Litkit. #indiedev #gamedev #mecha #RPG #lowpoly #screenshotsaturday #godot

SRCS-95 Mandate model is complete! Thank you so very very much, @fedeath.bsky.social! An absolutely badass machine to kick off our narrative-heavy Tactical Mecha RPG, Project Litkit! #indiedev #mecha #lowpoly #mech

Final design for the Mandate is complete! Next step is modeling it for Project Litkit. @fedeath.bsky.social has a style that perfectly suits our retro, early PS2 aesthetic. Can't wait to see how it looks in 3D! #mecha #mech #gamedev #indiedev #conceptart

We're working with @fedeath.bsky.social to design our first Strider, the SRCS-95 "Mandate," and we couldn't be more excited. This will be the design we use for early prototypes and alpha builds, and probably most of our public promotions early on. #mecha #gamedev #indiegame #conceptart

I mentioned the other day that I'm working on a game with @litemechanist.bsky.social LitKit is envisioned as a narrative-heavy game about a revolution against an exploitative coalition of space colonies with two separate, but tightly interwoven gameplay loops: Slice of Life, and Tactical Mecha RPG.
