We’re doing a Giveaway! To celebrate the holidays and our first Boss: the 1st and 2nd person on our leaderboard this Sunday (28.12) will received a 20€ and 10€ Steam gift card respectively. Also a random person who tried our game will get a 10€ one! #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart

We made a Boss! It is alive and kicking, maybe even too much? We managed to beat it ourselves… sometimes 😅but instead of toning it down, we decided to let you try! Join our alpha testing in our discord: discord.gg/fJ7Y2zzvcp We're so excited to hear what you think! #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart

The Swarm is getting more and more menacing! Here some color testing, including the death animation. We're on Steam and on Discord, where you can even try our latest demo! Join us and find you if you can actually Weather the Swarm 😎 discord.gg/tJrPETcYC7 #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #roguelike

We are making the finished touches to the first Boss fight of our game! Honestly it feels so exciting. It's hard to beat but not impossible, and closes the game loop perfectly giving purpose to all the previous levels. From next week you can test it too on our discord! #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart

We have a tutorial for our demo! We know tutorial levels should be done last, but we hope a small and quick level will go a long way to teach new players all the basics. Of course we'll revisit it once the game is finished. Someone else used this approach? #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart

We changed the name of our game into "Weather the Swarm"! It rapresents the gameplay loop of our project and hopefully give an idea of what to expect. We hope you all like it, and we wish you the best of luck against the Swarm 🐝Playtest is open on our discord btw! #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart

In our 2D roguelike you are on an alien planet, fighiting enemies and the environment. But we had a problem: if you have no rush to explore, than there is no tension. That's where the Swarm came in! Now there is a clock ticking. Stand your ground or move fast, either way you'll need to deal with it.

We have procedurally generated levels! 😁It might be a standard for roguelikes nowadays, but it's still extremely satisfying to see a code made in-house translating noise to a map. Check it out yourself in our alpha testing, free on our discord: discord.gg/qDHA6SkQQM #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart

Find more on our discord and try the game today! Eternal gratitude from a small indie studio is part of the reward 💜 #gamedev #pixelart #indiegame

Granades are a core part of our game: not only they do a lot of damage, but they break terrain and walls. We spent quite some time for the animation, do you like the effect? Now the next big question is.. should they do friendly fire? How much chaos is enough chaos? 😈 #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart

Our indie game 🚀 -roguelite with power ups and weapons -Spelunky-inspired terrain generation -frenetic and chaotic -multiplayer up to 4 people -sci-fi pixel art

Just a small scene from our second level. Granades are a key part of the game. Use them to either kill enemies or pave your way through walls and create your path, or both at the same time! Does this remind you of another game? It is one of our biggest inspirations.. 👀 #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart

Shoot aliens, fly around and make everything explode in our upcoming 2D run and gun roguelite! Any feedback is more than welcome, and if you're interested, we might soon be opening a closed beta testing.. 👀 for now, any wishlist is super appreciated! #gamedev #indiedev #wishlistwednesday #pixelart

ARNIE is online on Steam, and this is our Trailer! We debated a lot if to use a retro-futuristic theme for the titles or go full pixel art. Do you agree with our decision? After all, we believe the more exiting part is the gameplay anyway! 🚀 #trailertuesday #gamedev #indiegame #videogame #pixelart

Some environments from our upcoming game. We took the time to create a lot of small assets to make the levels feel different and unique. Was it worth it? Any details you would add? Oh, and a different tile-set for every level of course! #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #videogames #indiepixelgames

The Playstation 2 turns 25 today. These 4 games are our favourite from that console

Shooting hordes of enemies is one of the cores of our game. And what better than a gatling gun to show it off! Does this look satisfying to you? Would you like even bigger numbers? Or other kinds of visual feedbacks? Let us know! #gamedev #indiedev #FeedbackFriday #pixelart

It's Boss time! How does it look for you? Also, for all the dev out there, have you ever tried the animation of a boss before fully testing the moveset? Or do you always use a blockout first? We could't wait to see it moving! (Also, we needed something to show in the trailer 😅) #indiedev #gamedev
