New video showing the lighting system, animated trees and of course, Eli's new sprite and portrait (with some rather heavy dialogue that discusses one of "ANAMNESIS" core themes). #indiedev #gamedev #jRPG

Just been going over my wishlist data and comparing my previous game with "Anamnesis" current tally: Steam launch page: Veiled Skies wishlists in 4 months (May '23 to September '23: 73) Anamnesis wishlists in 4 months (December '25 to April '26: 414) Wat... #gamedev

Some screenshots from the prologue of "ANAMNESIS". We're aiming for a September demo so keep an eye out! The actual game itself won't release until the first quarter of 2028, I'm afraid XD #indiedev #gamedev #jRPG #screenshotsaturday

Eli underwent a bit of a wardrobe change and her sprite had to change accordingly >:3 She will keep her original mercenary look as an alternative outfit (her battler will change as well!) #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #jRPG

New NPC sprites vs the older sprites; I'll still keep the older NPCs for "ANAMNESIS" but in the interim I'm busy spriting a whole host of new sprites. While listening to Stardew Valley's OST, hehe. #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

Still working on this ;3 #jRPG #indiedev #gamedev

Sorry about the lack of updates T_T: real life hit me hard with a new job (and double pay!) so I haven't had as much time to work on ANAMNESIS. However, the rest of my team is hard at work! So here's a video showcasing our custom lighting system! ^^ #indiedev #gamedev #JRPG

I started with #gamedev back in 2009 using RPGMaker XP. I'm still using the engine of course :D So here's what my maps look like their respective editors: RPGMaker VX vs RPGMaker MZ. #indiedev #rpgmaker #JRPG

Finished up some more areas for this week's #screenshotsaturday! We've got ⏰3 hours of gameplay down! 27 to go! 🗺️175 maps completed! And the game has only been in development for-- *drum roll* EIGHT MONTHS?? #indiedev #gamedev #JRPG

🗺️"ANAMNESIS" maps can be pretty large in size, so we included this handy little compass to guide those with a less-than-stellar sense of direction 😂 ✨Quest markers to come soon!✨ #indiedev #gamedev #JRPG

#screenshotsaturday time again! ^^ Been working on lots of new areas for "ANAMNESIS". They're massive and just begging to be explored! #indiedev #gamedev #JRPG

Playing around with some special FX! Don't forget to wishlist "ANAMNESIS" if you like what you see! ^^ store.steampowered.com/app/4240600/... #indiedev #gamedev #JRPG

That was a nice, month-long break. We're going to make 2026 even better, so stay tuned for awesome updates! 💪

Working on some skill trees! Icons and overall UX are still a WIP, to be replaced later on. We're also in the process of creating a new kickass trailer >:3 Don't forget to ✨wishlist✨ on Steam! #indiedev #gamedev #JRPG #indiegame

🌳Explore, ⚔️fight, 🦴loot! All footage as this point is still a WIP and we will be refining the game further into development! Every enemy will be fully animated as well! #indiedev #gamedev #JRPG #indiegame

Our wishlist tally after exactly 24 hours! ^^ Thank you to everyone who has wishlisted "ANAMNESIS" so far! ✨ It made my birthday especially memorable too! Level 38, by the way! 😄 #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

store.steampowered.com/app/4240600/... It's here! :D :D :D Go, go and wishlist! #indiedev #gamedev #JRPG #indiegame

✨One day to go until the Steam page launch!✨ #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #JRPG

✨🎈Steam page launches on Dec. 14!!!🎈✨ #indiedev #gamedev #JRPG #indiegame

discord.gg/VTWbJKrS NOW OPEN! :D #indiedev #gamedev #indiedev

WHA...?? I sent it for review yesterday and Steam already approved the page?? NOICE! Okie-- okie, better calm down here now. I won't hit that big green button just yet since I know how important this launch is. Gotta make it an 🎈event!✨ #indiedev #gamedev #indiedev

👀It begins... 👀 #indiedev #gamedev #JRPG

Faviann shows off his new skill 🧊"Frostline Reaper"🧊! We're using a custom plugin and an external tool to turn .MOV files into .PNGs then spritesheets. Since we're going for a very anime-vibe, hand-drawn VFX will work best for the game. #indiegame #JRPG #RPGMaker #gamedev #anime

Two weeks ago I started on what is arguably one of the biggest cities in "ANAMNESIS"; a 100 x 110 tile citadel inspired by Mont St Michel in France. I've managed to finish up some interiors too! ^^ More NPCs to come at a later date! #indiedev #gamedev #JRPG #RPGMaker

Planned updates for "ANAMNESIS" combat system: Supers with a visible gauge + auras, a party-wide buff system tied to total number of combo hits, assist skills and chain bursts (ala Granblue Fantasy)! Also: ✨HAPPY HOLIDAYS✨ #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #JRPG #RPGMaker

Fav the bat boi ambushes his future gf/wife Eli. Reworked intro for "ANAMNESIS!" 💪 #indiedev #gamedev #JRPG #RPGMaker

Non game-dev related (but involves my favourite jRPG). PTSD................ Getting a 100% in Zodiac Age is gonna be HARD T_T

Another look at "ANAMNESIS" ⚔️combat system⚔️ which is still a WIP! It basically takes the ATB system found in many jRPGs and turns it into a skill resource :D The UX icons will be replaced at a later date! #indiedev #gamedev #anime #JRPG #RPGMaker

Today is the day. Today is the day I start on the Steam page for "ANAMNESIS"! Though I am excited and nervous at the same time. #indiedev #gamedev

SAY NO TO GEN-AI!!! >:c Ahem, like many indie game devs, I despise AI with every fibre of my being. So here's an Eli character sheet showing her sketch to final art + some expressions. Plus the "No Gen-AI" stamp for extra measure. #indiedev #gamedev #anime #JRPG

Here's Eli's idle and running sprites in action! We will be adding jumping, climbing and swimming sprites in the future as well! Yay for immersive map exploring ^^ #indiedev #gamedev #JRPG #RPGMaker

Last bi-monthly update for the year! To say my team and I got this far in six months is nothing less than impressive, I'm so proud of them :D We're aiming for a late 2027 release date but before that, let's just say it begins with a "K" and ends with an "R" ;3 #indiedev #gamedev #JRPG #RPGMaker

"ANAMNESIS" is rapidly approaching 150 maps as of writing. To compare, my previous commercial releases, which clocked in at 300 maps each and were around 10-15 hours long. I would estimate a ballpark figure of 700 maps and 25-30 hours of gameplay for "ANAMNESIS". #indiegamedev #JRPG #RPGMaker

I probably need to ease up on my dev time. 30 hours a week as a part-time dev may be pushing it on top of my rl work. Last thing I want is burnout. I will definitely be easing up as we roll into December so the bi-monthly update for "ANAMNESIS" (due on the 1st) will be the last one for 2025. :)

Phew, after five days it's finally done! A rather enormous city by #RPGMaker at 100 x 110 tiles. I couldn't show the entire capital due to Bsky's 3-min video limit. Now I need to do the equally enormous arena on the city outskirts. #indiedev #gamedev #JRPG

This capital city of Aribion is gonna break me (100 x 100 tiles). Heavily based off Mon't St. Michel in France. A lot of the cities in ANAMNESIS are inspired by real life places. #indiedev #gamedev #JRPG #RPGMaker

Singular screen for #screenshotsaturday this time ^^ Traba is a huge guy, well over 2 metres tall. #indiedev #gamedev #JRPG #RPGMaker

Berhara (really just "Valhalla" spelt differently) is one of the first areas that the player will explore in "ANAMNESIS" And yes, there is a wolf-mech called "Fenrir" who dwells in the bottom-most reaches of the shrine >:3 #indiedev #gamedev #JRPG #RPGMaker

This took me several weeks of work but this is what my raw, unedited maps look like in "ANAMNESIS" ^^ As the main level designer, it's my responsibility to bring the world of Sephira to life. #indiedev #gamedev #JRPG #RPGMaker

#screenshotsaturday time! "ANAMNESIS" has passed the 100 map mark as well :D Expect the Steam page sometime later this month too ^^ #indiedev #gamedev #JRPG #indiegame

yexinnn.itch.io/anamnesis-me... Itch page for "ANAMNESIS" now up! :D #indiedev #gamedev #JRPG #indiegame

Environment update ^^ #indiedev #gamedev #JRPG #indiegame

Sorry about the lack of updates but no fear, here are some new screenshots! ^^ It's been exactly five months since my team and I started working on Anamnesis and it's been incredibly rewarding so far! A Steam page might be coming some time in November... 👀 #indiedev #gamedev #JRPG #indiegame

Just 29 more hours to go! I've estimated that I've spent between 560-600 hours on Anamnesis since late May. That excludes the hours that our artists and programmers have put in, that's just my hours in the engine. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #JRPG

Sorry about the delay in updates T_T But here's a revised intro using a kickass song! Also, portrait updates :D #indiedev #gamedev #JRPG #indiegame

One of (many) CGs you can expect to see in Anamnesis, courtesy of our fantastic artist, @yexinnn.bsky.social ^^ #indiedev #gamedev #anime #JRPG #indiegame

Working on an intro! ^^ (Sorry I had to cut it short due to Bsky's 3-min video limit T_T) #indiedev #gamedev #JRPG #indiegame

Time for the bi-monthly development log! ^^ Needless to say, my team and I have done a lot of work since late July! I'm so proud of them :3 Next update: November! #indiedev #gamedev #JRPG #indiegame

Level cap in "Anamnesis" plus some more combo shots! ^^ My PB is 118 hits :D Atm the combo count is just visual eye candy but we may implement some kind of buff system later down the line! #indiedev #gamedev #JRPG #indiegame

You can get the hit count pretty high in "Anamnesis" if you're fast enough! ^^ #screenshotsaturday #anime #indiedev #gamedev #JRPG
