🦇 I built a free tool for 2D game artists! SpriteBat - layer, tint, and combine sprite sheets into unified output. Asset splitter, library, animated preview, PNG/GIF export. Works offline! Free & open-source 🔗 spritebat.fatbat.studio #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #spotlight

The new #EIDOLWARE game website is now live! A lot of work went into this. I've also written the first Devlog on the origins of the project (back in 2015 as a graphic novel), which you can read here: eidolware.com/blog/robot-d... More updates to come! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #spotlight

New #EIDOLWARE title screen for 2026: youtu.be/MlDtz6iusYs #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #spotlight

New year, new #EIDOLWARE game #art! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

Finally got the dialog system visuals and functionality working in #EIDOLWARE! Sizing boxes based on text and stacking them right was way harder than expected, but I’m glad I didn’t settle for a static text box. It feels way more conversational now. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

Some rough WIP on the first parts of the haunted forest tileset for #EIDOLWARE. Going from Aseprite to Pixquare has sped up my sprite making process a ton! It helps being able to draw directly on a tablet away from distractions, like I do my non-pixel artwork. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

Progress on new character sprites for #EIDOLWARE. Susie, aka the "Shojo Sheriff" (or "Weeb Detective" from those who hate her), is one of FedoraCon’s enforcers and an internal investigator. She seeks Anna's help to uncover what’s going wrong inside the convention. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

Sprite animation I created for an unlockable archetype ability in #EIDOLWARE called "Echo Step": Performing a perfect dodge creates a shadow phantom that stabs enemies. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

WIP new character art for #EIDOLWARE Extra lore info in the alt text. #sketch #art #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Finished character art of J-Woo 🕺 for #EIDOLWARE! Once a member of the famed K-pop group 3NIX, J-Woo now serves as one of Fedora Mask’s lieutenants as an avant-garde solo performer devoted to an oath of uninterrupted dance! He reigns over the ballroom wing of the convention. #gamedev #art

Finished the base dialog UI for #EIDOLWARE. Portraits by name, speech bubble tails, open/close animations are working smoothly. This time around I'm moving from JSON to a full conversation system using the flowchart editor in #construct3. Excited to build more! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

Now we're cooking with 🔥 Enemies in #EIDOLWARE can now be affected by status conditions, such as burning. This update lays the groundwork for exciting and system-driven interactions throughout the game! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #construct3

Testing out several new mechanics and animations for #EIDOLWARE in this testing area.💥Some further details in the video's description on YouTube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Avgv... Happy with the progress thus far! #gamedev #construct3

Small announcement: DEMON/WARE is now EIDOLWARE! We changed our game's name and logo because it's original, more relevant to the plot and we don't want to encounter any potential legal issues with Activision Blizzard when we release the game in the future. 😅 eidolware.com #eidolware #gamedev

Finished artwork of Bea Beatrix 🎃 for DEMON/WARE! She's one of the antagonists of the game as the art judge and gatekeeper of FedoraCon's Artist Alley. Bio in the pic's alt text. #gamedev #art Previous sketch here: bsky.app/profile/fatb...

I'm very late to this meme 🐀🕺 #ratdance #pixelart #gamedev

I made a minor revision to my character art of May Melody, enhancing the shadows. To maintain consistency, I decided to go back do the same to my last two character arts of Anna and Susie. Likely what’s up next for a redraw is Fedora Mask, the main antagonist of DEMON/WARE. #gamedev #art

I pushed it off for so long to work on other parts of the game, but DEMON/WARE now has a loss state and Game Over screen! ☠️ Turn on sound 🔊to hear the SFX and music. I'll probably replace the bottom text with something more relevant to game lore at some point, but they'll do fine for now. #gamedev

Have a Happy New Year with some new DEMON/WARE #gamedev #art 🎨! This time it's May Melody, Kawaii Influencer and one of the antagonists of the game. Some more lore info in the alt text.

Work in progress redesign sketch for May Melody, famous kawaii influencer and one of the main antagonists of DEMON/WARE. Included is her old design from 2021 as well as some early mock logos of her sponsor brands. #gamedev #art

Here's another updated character design I made for DEMON/WARE. This time it's Susie Swanson, the deuteragonist and "Shojo Sheriff" of Fedora Mask's convention. As an enforcer, she becomes Anna's "sponsor" and helps navigate the chaos of the convention while confronting her own past. #gamedev #art

The sprite I've enjoyed creating the most thus far is this Cryptid.☠️ One of the more advanced enemy types in DEMON/WARE, it pursues you throughout the "haunted forest" area of the convention's artist alley wing. #gamedev #pixelart #cryptid

A closer look at the updated sprites for Anna. When I created the first prototype for DEMON/WARE, I used purchased Horror City assets (thanks @malibudarby87.bsky.social for creating them!) as a template. Since then, I've improved making my own pixel art and added bouncier animations. #gamedev #art

It's been a while! I still have been working on my game, DEMON/WARE. I've spent the last few months refactoring and a lot of progress and fixes have been made.😅 I also redrew some character artwork and sprites to match my current style. The main character, Anna, got a glow-up!✨ #gamedev #art

Portrait art of my wife's Final Fantasy XIV character, Mango Menango, holding a mango 🥭✨ which I don't think exists in Eorzea. Paid for in advance with jerky sticks and soda🥤

DEMON/WARE takes place in the world's first permanent 24/7 anime convention, owned and operated by a crypto-billionaire who styles himself "Fedora Mask". Presiding over the Artist Alley is Halloween lifestylist Bea Beatrix. She'll critique that your art doesn't have enough skeletons💀 #gamedev #art

Hey everyone! I'm a software engineer, illustrator and hobbyist indie gamedev! For the past couple years I've been working on DEMON/WARE, a satire action RPG. I'll be posting more gameplay and artwork shortly. Happy to connect and see what others have created! youtu.be/GlFuXi2TfQg
