I like the sound of it

That’s fucking awesome!

Even before I read the post itself, I was already getting strong FTL vibes

My partner and I are moving more mechanics from the design doc into the engine — now it’s vampirism’s turn. 🦇 And since it’s a turn-based game, you can change the gameplay speed (this was recorded at 2x). ⏳ #ScreenshotSaturday #2DArt #IndieGame #TurnBasedCombat

Oh my god, every time I can’t believe this is fully 2D. The lighting work here feels like pure magic!

The game’s slowly gaining combat mechanics so we can test builds and strategies. There’s even a dev cheat to spawn anything. We also added regen: in the clip the enemy applies bleed, and the hero stacks timed healing. (Not a real fight — the hero just stands there) #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieGame

The game’s getting more combat mechanics! This week we made status tooltips talk to each other for fuller info. Text’s still WIP, so the screenshot doesn’t show their full power yet :) #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieGame #2dgames

Got the sweetest compliment — someone thought my frog gif was from Absolum! From #Absolum! Have you even seen that game?! It’s one of the most beautiful 2D games in the world — drawn by people literally kissed on the hands by God. I almost cried. 😭💚 PS Of course, I don’t think I draw that well.

Spent the week planning and estimating upcoming work — not the fun part, so nothing new to show yet. But hey, have you seen the goofy frog I once drew for the game? Lore says it’s what happens if the frog princess kisses you instead. 🐸 #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieGame #DarkFantasy #HandDrawnGame

Added pseudorandomness: enemies can now miss. Looks like a dodge, but while dodging is intentional, a miss is random. This way, the player can still hold onto hope even in a losing situation. #ScreenshotSaturday #2DArt #IndieGame #DarkFantasy #HandDrawnGame

When combat is too deterministic, players can see in advance they can’t win. I don’t want them to give up — the game should feel like struggle & perseverance. So I added a touch of pseudorandomness: here’s a critical hit. This is only for the player — enemies can’t do it. #ScreenshotSaturday #2DArt

My game has a dodge that looks a lot like SHINOBI’s dash. I never thought of making the trail a single color — gonna try it, might look better. #2DArt #HandDrawnGame #2dgames #indiegame

Really loving the art in the new SHINOBI: s.team/a/2361770 You’ve probably already seen it, but if you happened to miss it, I definitely recommend checking it out. A true celebration of #2D animation and effects. I think I’ll definitely borrow a couple of artistic ideas from it for my own project.

Working on the scope of mechanics for the MVP build. Added a “stub” for a mechanic with the working title “Threshold”: a type of passive that triggers when a character’s health falls below the threshold :) #2DArt #IndieGame #ScreenshotSaturday #DarkFantasy

Hellishly cool doggo! 🔥 Reminded me of my very first attempt at drawing a dog enemy for my game. Only, unlike your artwork — mine turned out hilariously awful 😅

Jumping in #ScreenshotSaturday train with fresh transformation VFXs for RE: Spin. Die. Repeat. #IndieGame #IndieDevs

Following up on the previous #ScreenshotSaturday. My dev buddy added tooltips and cleaned things up. 😀 Looks small, but he put in a ton of work under the hood to make things way more solid. 💪 #2DArt #IndieGame #DarkFantasyGame #HandDrawnGame

Working on an “active ability”! Combat has two phases: planning and execution. Most actions are queued on the battle timeline, but “active abilities” trigger instantly during the planning phase — like weakening an enemy’s attack before the round starts. #Screenshotsaturday #2DArt #IndieGame

Spent some time improving the HP bar — damage now appears as a buffer before reducing real health. More satisfying and clearer as feedback. #ScreenshotSaturday #HandDrawnGame #MadeWithUnity #DarkFantasy

The enemy kill effect is a brief pause where everything fades out except you and your opponent's silhouettes. Then a reward selection window pops up — but it’s still pretty ugly for now :D #Screenshotsaturday #DarkFantasyGame #DarkFantasy #2DArt #IndieGame

Set up a blood system for enemies. For example, the dog builds up blood on its jaws if it keeps biting the hero.🩸 #Screenshotsaturday #DarkFantasyGame #DarkFantasy #2DArt #IndieGame #HandDrawnGame

Seems like Next Fest doesn’t help unknown indies anymore Every #indiedev I’ve heard on recent podcasts says: ⚠️ Bring a polished, tested demo 📈 Have solid wishlist numbers 🗓️ Pick a fest close to release Otherwise, it’s just wasting your slot More like Kickstarter now — come with an audience or vanish

Been a bit under the weather this week, so I didn’t get too far. 🥴 Still working on the aesthetic side of blood splatters in my game. Since the characters aren’t 3D, making the splatters look natural from different angles has been a tricky task. #ScreenshotSaturday #2DArt #StylizedArt #BloodFX

Of all the enemies, 🐸Frogue⚔️ (frog + rogue) gave me the biggest headache when it came to getting the size right next to the hero. But hey — I think he’s looking pretty great now. #ScreenshotSaturday #TurnBasedCombat #FrogCharacter

My four-eyed Ratalisk can weaken the hero with its magical gaze. I added a little effect to that action to give it more impact. #ScreenshotSaturday #TurnBased #IndieGame

Oh, cool! At first I thought it was a pack of wolves with spears until I looked closer. Looks really intriguing 👍

I'm probably going to change the background, but the fortress part of my game's first boss level is turning out great! #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine #screenshotsaturday

The combat UI mockup is almost done. Guys, I just love pressing those little buttons! #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieDev #GameUI #MadeWithUnity

Can’t argue with that

Been messing around with blood splatter on my character — looks kinda cool on the hands and head, but the leg stuff feels way too placed. Should’ve made it messier 😅 Gonna fiddle with it a bit more! #IndieDev #GameDev #WIP #DevLog

I counted 9 frogs, not including the obvious main guy in the center. Is this a garden with stone frog statues, or are the models just not textured yet? Either way, I really love the composition and lighting — keep up the awesome work! 🔥

Today I've added some blood for extra impact!😱 PS: The UI layout is still a bit wonky in some places, but I’m getting a second wind from seeing the game gradually shed its placeholder art and start looking more like how I imagined it. #ScreenshotSaturday

Hey! My friend and I are making a dark, turn-based game with twisted nursery rhymes. “Listen, listen, everyone — the crocodile’s gobbled up the sun!” 😱Now the world’s swallowed by darkness, and monsters creep through the shadows.
