Very proud to announce that Blanksword's Demo is featured in @npckc.net 's nonbinary coded games bundle! Since the Demo is already free, nothing changes on our end, but I can only encourage you to check the event out, some stellar games are offering promos :]

We did a lot of user interface work over the past month (from design/concept to programming, to art...) - here are 2 sneak peeks of what some of the new UI in Blanksword will look like - these will become the new stats menu and quest interface respectively :]

Edward Kenway, the dumbest Pirate you ever heard of*, decides to sail straight through a Hurricane. Somehow he lives to tell the Tale. Assassins Creed: Black Flag - Resynced (2026/PC) *but you 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 heard of him

500 Caliber Contracts - Opening Cutscene

This is the kind of thing you catch yourself typing in the dev server when you work on a game with a moveset called "Philosophy"

For now we're sticking with Discord (our community is there and the server is a good place to be), but if a popular alternative surfaces that's more respectful of their users' privacy, we'll probably consider making the switch at some point

That flower that I love

spent the day working on physics and such!

the Last few years,,, i kept crelebrating Star wars day on the Wrong day..... but this time we are on time,,, ha ha ha Hugo and i.... wish everyrone a happy Star wars day....!!! - Skungo

A rainy start to one of the new Knock Out Tours added in the latest Mario Kart World update (Mario Kart World, 2025, Nintendo Switch 2)

My take on digital media is that if we do well enough with Blanksword (or other games) that we can have CDs and physical editions, we'll definitely try to get that going and make it possible. For an indie like us, Steam is basically mandatory, but we'd like our players to own the game, not rent it.

Our programmer Fish had some fun with a shader the other day and now it looks like I'm launching my Leaflet Special Attack upon His Country

Here's one of the new battle sprites Kitet worked on lately, you might've noticed that BLANK doesn't do anything in particular when he uses an item in Battle in the Demo, well, now he Summons the Cube...

Follwing recent unrests, the crownprince Noctis Lucem Caelum And Gang are trying to get back home. Luckily they had the foresight to equip their car with an extremely elaborate paint job, which results in them being highly inconspicuous. FFXV [PS4/2016]

Sigh... it's that time of the year again US folks, I know you're all tired but they're trying to censor the internet/turn the internet into a giant tracking device again 💀 They're voting real soon, so any call you can make to your representatives/email you can send goes a long way.

Horses are not to be messed with, they are the source of fear itself and will come after you. Fearmonium (PC, 2021)

The transition from the always sunny DK Island to the always raining K. Lumsy Island. The same goes for K. Rool Island that is right next to it. Donkey Kong 64 (Nintendo 64, 1999)

I really hate to do this, but I'm being royally screwed over by my roommate and have to find a new place to live in just over a month with no savings set aside. I'm in a really bad position and was totally blindsided by this. Any bit helps as I scramble to find a new apartment. ko-fi.com/ersatz64989

Our Kickstarter Guest @splendid.land has been hard at work designing the Angel of Wildlife Conservation for us - not only do we have a cool as fuck visual design for this character (as per the attached WIP), Samanthuel also participated in the quest design & character development writing process!

Hey, I’m Phoebe, and I wrote/write a lot of the Angel of Fatherhood for the demo and upcoming full release of BLANKSWORD. Let me tell you something. Dad’s proud of you. He knows that you’ve got a lot on your plate— way more than he did, at your age!— but he’s impressed with how you’re handling it.

The current genAI discourse is pretty bleak between studios getting outed and NextFest being inundated with slop, but this thread is a good reminder that there's still a *lot* of human-made, heartfelt games out there if you care to look for them.

Things are tough out there, but we can be tougher. If you can help my friend Leona then please do so, even if it's just a share. Let's give a hand to someone who lost everything fighting the good fight.

I couldn't find any figures from Angel's Egg so I made one

We're making progress with the Quest system! This test screen isn't very assuming right now, but it works!! We've already months into the writing and designing process for these, and the team has really picked up the pace over the last couple weeks, especially with our new programmer 👨‍🍳

Chilling in a rainy Costa del Sol, which they should probably rename Costa del Lluvia. Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn (2013/PC)

I thought Square Enix stopped doing International releases after Final Fantasy XIII

We started work with @mortisghost.bsky.social on the Radio Town area and he's been cooking nonstop with the concept art, check this out

Two very active conversations taking place at the same time in the Blanksword community server right now, Toriel discourse to my left, comparative merits of edible crickets VS edible ants to my right. This is all Tobyfox's fault somehow, I just can't prove it...

What a week! I made a Kickstarter update (I'm essentially treating these as Blanksword's blog now...) to talk about the process of hiring a programmer - I share the post-mortem I wrote about it where I offer some advice for applying to game jobs, and I issue an apology for a mistake we made.

See ya

Automaton Heart is on Steam today :D

🌟🐶📸⭐ I've completed my latest project, a game adapting the comic "The Named" by @copperodyssey.bsky.social into a very short, 20 minute comedy-adventure game in RPG Maker 2003. You can play it now! blamerobots.itch.io/the-named

happy pride month by the way

come to the blanksword discord server; sometimes people ask me things about the character designs that i answer by drawing things like this.

So this (minus some personal info from the sender at the end) was one of the applications we received for our programmer position and I found it shocking enough (and revealing enough about the sorry state of the job market/gaming industry) that I was compelled to react immediately.

hi everyone! my friend's beloved kitty cat, Etta, needs some expensive dental surgery, and they're struggling to pay for it. if you can share the fundraiser, or even chip in a bit, it would really help! thanks so much! 😊 www.gofundme.com/f/help-etta-...
