Sneak peek of level 2: The Desert x.com/StarDForgeGa...

#Survivesmith #Devlog : Spinner Evolutions The demo had been missing several equipment upgrades and evolutions. Here's one of the new Spinner evolutions: Spiral Spinners. Will showcase some more in a future post. #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #roguelite #bulletheaven #bullethell #unity

The Power Core update is live! 💎✨ Power cores now provide permanent passive effects throughout the round. Go check out our new steam post and give the updated demo a try: tinyurl.com/ersjsyc5 #survivesmith #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiedev #roguelite #bulletheaven #bullethell

The Power Core / Forge redesign is coming together nicely. Excited to let everyone try it! 🤩 #survivesmith #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #roguelite #bulletheaven

#Survivesmith #Devlog Mining Effects Mining is a little less boring now ⛏️✨ #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #vfx #particleeffects #unity

I did a slight rework to the ability combination system (charged cores ✨). Here's an overview. Power cores will receive an overhaul next. #Survivesmith #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #roguelite #bulletheaven Video link here because of video size limit on bsky: x.com/TheRedMaRKDe...

#Survivesmith #Devlog 0097: Survival Kit Icon Update Here's a look at the new icons @LizLeeSan made for the Survival Kit. Don't they look awesome 😍 #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame

The biome-hazard update is out now! It's in the demo, so why wait? Play now here: tinyurl.com/ssmithdemo You can read about the update here before you hop in: store.steampowered.com/news/app/354... #Survivesmith #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #roguelite #bulletheaven

#DOTween really comes in handy at times 😌. Can't wait to animate every single screen! I wish I were a tad bit better in UI design though 😪. #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiegame

#Survivesmith #Devlog: Hit & Shake I added some dynamic, force-based particles ✨ to my hit effects and camera shakes as well. I think they look pretty cool and subtle enough. Is it too subtle or just right? 🤔 Let me know what you think. #IndieGame #IndieGameDev #GameDev

The base feels a bit more lively now. Hope Toby doesn't break anything... #survivesmith #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiedev #roguelite #bulletheaven #bullethell #2d #unity

#Survivesmith #Devlog: Mystery Characters The first "reveal" of our upcoming playable characters. They will bring more than just "looks" to the table 😉⚔️🧪 #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiedev #roguelite #bulletheaven #bullethell #2d #unity #characterdesign #ui #uidesign

#Survivesmith #Devlog: Minimap A new minimap now shows all the POIs in the world. You can even see where all the resources are located if you want to #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiedev #roguelite #bulletheaven #bullethell #2d #unity #minimap #map #ui #uidesign

Here's a short video I made showcasing the Power Core system in Survivesmith. I hope it's a fun little mechanic for everyone to play around with. #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiedev #survivesmith #devlog #roguelite #bulletheaven #bullethell #2d #unity #colorful #guns

#Survivesmith #Devlog: Colorful Guns In our game, guns have different effects and colors. The best part - you get to pick them! They are not just for the looks 😉 #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiedev #roguelite #bulletheaven #bullethell #2d #unity #colorful #guns

#Survivesmith #Devlog : Blue napalm Loving the new impact indicators on the rockets as much as the blue flames 🤩 Could be super useful for telegraphed boss attacks too 🤔 #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiedev #roguelite #bulletheaven #bullethell #2d #unity

#Survivesmith #Devlog: Weapon Forge Not finalized at all, but this is where you'd be forging your own custom weapons at, using the power cores YOU created. Min-max time! 🤓 #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiedev #roguelite #bulletheaven #bullethell #2d #unity

#Survivesmith #Devlog: Core Forge Here's the finalized version of the Core Forge! This is the first time I've worked on a single UI for this long. Hope it paid off 🫣 #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiedev #roguelite #bulletheaven #bullethell #2d #unity

#survivesmith This is sort of a fun game on its own 😆 For anyone who didn't see my previous post, this is the "Core Forge", where we can create powerful "Cores" for our weapons. #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiedev #roguelite #bulletheaven #bullethell #2d #unity #devlog

I'm currently working on the new 🔶"Weapon Core" 🔷system for our #bulletheaven game #survivesmith. These cores add powerful effects & visuals to the primary weapon. Will update on gameplay examples soon! #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiedev #devlog #roguelite #2d #unity

#Survivesmith #Devlog: Chibi Mike Our main protagonist is now a Chibi character! He's 50% less realistic than the last guy but 200% more cute ☺️ #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiedev #characterdesign #chibi #roguelite #bulletheaven #bullethell #2d #unity

#Survivesmith #Devlog: Base We added a small base for the player to move around, do some forging & upgrading before heading out into the unknown. What do you think? #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiedev #roguelite #bulletheaven #bullethell #2d #unity

Tried drawing a water spirit - a gentle soul made of waves and whispers 💦🌟 #procreate #art

This is my one of the best attempts to learn more about light and shadow. #procreate #art #sketch Totoro in the rain

#Survivesmith #Devlog What's better than one objective? THREE OBJECTIVES OF COURSE! 🤑 Did a little bit of a redesign on the main UI / HUD as well. #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiedev #devlog #roguelite #bulletheaven #bullethell #2d #uidesign #hud #unity

My first ever attempt at making a game was a tower defense game (Survivesmith is the second) and it shouldn't surprise anyone if I said that I love tower defense games. This one seems like it's doing some genre redefinition! Can't wait to try it out!

Check out our new Steam announcement for some details on the new sub-biomes, weapon core system, and the survival-kit. tinyurl.com/survivesmith Be sure to add Survivesmith to your wishlist to stay in touch! #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiedev #devlog #roguelite

Gearing up for a big dev push on Sloppy Forgeries, the two-mouse game about copying famous paintings as quickly and accurately as possible. Coming Q3/4 2025. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #art #digitalart #games #videogames ✨ Wishlist ✨ ⇢ bit.ly/sloppy-bs

#Survivesmith #Devlog You've seen the robots, but have you seen these corrupted creatures lurking deep in the biome? (Note: some animations are still incomplete.) #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiedev #devlog #roguelite #bulletheaven #bullethell #2d #unity

This little pixie seems to want me to follow it. Wonder why 🤔 Wishlist #Survivesmith on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/3540570/... #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiedev #devlog #roguelite #bulletheaven #bullethell #2d #unity #particlesystem #wishlistonsteam #pixie #fairy #stardust

This flower looks so pretty, but... would you go near it? Wishlist #Survivesmith on Steam to find out soon! store.steampowered.com/app/3540570/... #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiedev #roguelite #bulletheaven #bullethell #2d #unity #particlesystem #wishlistonsteam #flower

#survivesmith: New Overshield effect I'm learning shaders! Here are the new Overshield effects I created using the Fresnel effect and noise. How does it look? #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #roguelite #bulletheaven #bullethell #survivorslike #unity #devlog

#survivesmith : Dissolve shader Here's a showcase of some things I've been working on: A dissolve shader effect for enemies, loot drop animations, loot magnet item, cryo bomb item, etc. #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamedev #roguelite #bulletheaven #bullethell #unity #survivorslike #devlog

This is a bit of a different post from my devlogs & stuff, but I feel like I'm stuck in this position where I KNOW that I need to extend my game's reach, but I am not very comfortable nor sure of what to do next. Can someone with experience help? 🙏 #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

#survivesmith The survival kit can now be properly equipped via the loadout menu! This is the most intuitive UI design I've come up with so far (I'm terrible with UI). Proud 😌 #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamedev #roguelite #bulletheaven #bullethell #survival #unity #indiedev

Here's a peek at the new Survival Kit feature. You'll be able to craft essential survival items during a run. The right item at the right time could make all the difference! #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamedev #roguelite #bulletheaven #bullethell #survival #unity #indiedev

As of now, we're currently working on a few different things: 1) The Weapon Assembly feature is up & running, except the UI is terrible :'( 2) We're also working on a sub-biome system, & it's halfway done. 3) Bullets now have different physical & elemental properties.

Hi all! We've decided to opt out of this Steam Next Fest (June 2025) since we realized that we're still not ready, even if we worked full-time on a demo. There are still a few core game mechanics missing, and we'd (hopefully) be prepared by the next one 🤞

#survivesmith I'm working on the weapon assembling element of the game right now. This isn't mere attachments but building your own weapon from the ground up. Disclaimer: I don't own this gun image & is just a placeholder. #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamedev #roguelite #crafting #guns #bulletheaven

Here's the short trailer I made for our game #Survivesmith for the #SteamNextFest. Play the alpha now and wishlist on Steam for the upcoming demo (links in bio and pinned)! 🤗 #indiegame #indiedev #indiegamedev #gamedev #gametrailer #roguelite #bulletheaven #unity

#survivesmith Got an awesome VFX pack from the asset store & tried adding my own particle system on top of it. It's kinda okay-ish? I don't know what I'm doing to be honest 🥴 #indiegamedev #indiedev #gamedev #unity #particlesystem #steamnextfest #fire #vfx #visualeffects #roguelite

#survivesmith Patch time! In this update, I have added a post-processing flair, UI animations (in menus), a new fun gun & new boss attacks to the old mini-bosses. Go check it out and leave feedback in the new feedback form (check in-game)! theredmark.itch.io/survivesmith... #gamedev #indiegame

#survivesmith Added a simple button rebinding menu (thanks @samyam.bsky.social for the awesome tutorial!). I still need to figure out how to separate keyboard & controller though. #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamedev #roguelite #uidesign #unity #controlscustomization

I may have made a 'slight' improvement to my UI 😋 #gamdev #indiegamedev #indiegame #roguelite #bulletheave #unity #2d #uidesign #postprocessing #gloweffect

#survivesmith Here's the first exotic primary weapon: The Bubble Gun! Does it shoot soap bubbles? Well... it's more acidic than basic, if you know what I mean 😉🧪 #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #roguelite #bulletheaven #reversebullethell #unity #2d #guns #bubbles

Hey all! I added a post on steam on the inspirations behind #Survivesmith and some other topics. Go check it out? store.steampowered.com/news/app/354... Don't forget to wishlist the game while you're at it! #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamedev #roguelite #bulletheaven #wishlist #steam
