All the art for my card game is finished and I've ordered a few copies of it!

@mibeador.bsky.social offered me the opportunity to help make art for the card game he was making for a school project. The cards I picked were called Mind Crusher and Nanobot Mass. both of these started as hand-drawn sketches, but were scanned and remade in Krita.

Surprise! We have an update to address some overdue balance, bugs and the addition of new CPU Logic for a more thrilling Arcade or Watch mode experience! #IndieDev #IndieFGC www.playbattlecraze.com

Here's an early look at another new stage coming soon: the Silver Stadium Lobby! Fighters and spectators alike are gathered here in anticipation of the Duels of Fortune tournament, so you'll be able to spot LOTS of familiar faces! #gamedev #indiedev #fgc #fightinggame #duelsoffortune

A very experimental cyberpunk-y piece requested by @mibeador.bsky.social. Was fun to step outside my comfort zone a bit with this one!
