Even the smallest trailer slot for Gamescom is unattainable for indies. It'd basically bankrupt us! So if you wanna help a tiny indie get some visibility, then I'd love if you could check out our awesome game - there's giant capybaras in it!

HEY! Did you know? Once a month, we release production updates for Rune Fencer Illyia over on our Kickstarter! We JUST posted a new PUBLIC one, with a spotlight on our approach to incorporating VA work into the project. 🎙️ Give it a read and stay in the loop! 👇

Hey! I've been working with @nootboxgames.com as their Social Media Manager to help promote their game "Rune Fencer Illyia"! PLEASE check them out, they're a tiny team with an incredibly passion for bringing this world to life! 🧡

Each runic spell in Rune Fencer Illyia has a hidden quality to them. For instance, I timed her boomerang spell to match perfectly with the speed of her sword combo, allowing the player to keep up the assault for massive damage! #pixelart #Gamedev #indiedev #ドット絵

Take a moment from doom scrolling to rest among the weary. Perhaps, share a kind word for fellow travelers? #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

They're a little too into swords

it was a bit of a gamble, but pachinko has been added to the game. #indiedev #gamedev

First Rule of Mimickry: don't let them see you do it. Implemented our Mimic Rune this week, which allows Illyia to camouflage herself as a random object, and even avoid contact damage from unaware enemies! It works! Most of the time...

Don't worry, be Capy! ✨ We're gonna start posting Rune Fencer Illyia updates here on Bluesky as well.
