This is looking sooo good!

We're reshaping regions, etching in new echoes, layering details. Panels breathe. Gears whisper. Steel corridors shimmer with buried code. Each step Zura takes, the world becomes more alive. We hope you’ll feel every step. #screenshotsaturday | #pixelart | #metroidvania

During the most trying times, such as this moment in history, is when art and passion come together. I'm hyperfocused on game dev. I suspect artists of all types are probably doing similarly. We all use our voice in different ways. For me, it's with Zenogaias. Just remember, you're not alone.

Berhara Shrine nearing completion ^^ My friend and I have been working on Anamnesis for a little over a month now (we started dev in early May). Still a loooong way to go :D #indiegamedev #RPGツクール #RPGMaker

Happy #WishlistWednesday! Check out Aegis Force: The Scorian War on Steam! We’ve got amazing 2.5D pixel art, complex characters, turn-based tactical combat, and a thrilling RPG story that you will LOVE. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #rpg #trpg store.steampowered.com/app/3154550/...

Here's a little #WishlistWednesday wisdom from the Endless Dunes: 🌵 You might feel safe riding a Shobii... 🪲 But these desert bugs are built different. 🏇💨 They’ll chase you down like it’s personal.

A few screens to show progress on the pixel art of Relics of Aurelia #pixelart #jrpg #gba #snes #isekai #anime #indiegame

I've done more work on Zenogaias the past week than I thought I'd be able to. I can't unveil what's being worked on just yet as me and my commissioned artists are still deep in development on these systems/art/plugins. Suffice to say, though, that I think it'll be worth the wait. :D

Some turn-based games I love ❤️

You know, I look at my favorite Final Fantasy games, and I truly realize how iconic the classics really are. Recent Final Fantasy (15/16) just can't hold a candle. Also noteworthy... They're all turn-based/ATB. I loved turn-based combat as a kid, and I appreciate it even more as I get older.

My initial redraws of Rel and Makoto :) #pixelart #snes #retrogame #jrpg #indiegame

Lots of things cooking behind the scenes with Zenogaias. I won't be unveiling anything new for a little while as a result. Can't wait to show what's being worked on. :D For now, here's some bust art. #indiedev #gamedev #rpg #jrpg #art #indiegame #bustart

Strak (the talented solo dev behind “Thrall” and “Bloodstained Hands”) has a let’s play channel and is playing through the demo of my project “Relics of Aurelia”! Come give him some love! youtu.be/Ij1U7RMazT0?... #rpgmaker #letsplay #jrpg

I've been a bit quiet lately, but that's because of all the work I'm doing behind the scenes for Zenogaias. And...got a big announcement within the next month or so, hopefully. Lots of good stuff happening for the game.

Hey #PitchYaGame ! Eternal Remnant is an upcoming narrative-driven RPG that follows two siblings on the run! ⚔️ATB Interrupt-Priority Combat System! 🕒10+ hours of a tightly-packed narrative experience! 🌄Incredible set-pieces and rich, vivid environments! 🧙Characters you won't soon forget!

What's Zenogaias? A turn-based #JRPG featuring 4 Episodes in one game that spans the gaming eras, from 8-bit to modern HD, fantasy to Sci-Fi, with each Episode linked throughout an epic, interwoven narrative. Steam page coming soon! #PitchYaGame #indiedev #gamedev #RPG #indiegame

You can damn well bet I'm pre-ordering this the moment the store page goes live (not able to currently). This is exactly what I've been hoping for in a remake!

@hiro.slasho.me Just wanted to drop you a line and say that I'm a big fan of Heroes of Spyria. You got me in the feels a few times with that game. :) Well done!

...I couldn't *not* put my own game's main character. :P

Good News Everyone! GAMES TO GET EXCITED ABOUT FEST will be 1 day earlier! It's now Sunday 2pm PST on June 15th 100+ upcoming indie games. No CGI trailers. No Filler. Entries still open! Post games below or fill out the form docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev #gaming

Enter a #PixelArt sci-fi odyssey in ROBOT RHAPSODY, a futuristic #RPG set in a world teetering on the edge of machine singularity. Selva, a hardened anti-machine mercenary, joins forces with Jiro, a gifted engineer from a sterile AI-ruled underground "utopia", ultimately leading a silent rebellion.

Eternal Remnant is an upcoming ATB-based retro RPG that follows two siblings on the run as they are hunted for a deadly secret they carry! #jrpg #indiedev

A little "secret" homage in Zenogaias to my favorite game of all-time. Listening to some other indie devs and taking a peek at what they're working on inspired me to make this map just today. :D #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #rpg #jrpg #rpgmaker

I'll be backing this day 1 when it hits Kickstarter. Beloved Rapture was an amazing experience, and I can't wait to see this next game from the dev. #indiedev #rpg #jrpg #indiegame

New parallax maps done by my commissioned artist Josue C. for Episode 3 of Zenogaias, a turn-based #JRPG where you play across 4 Episodes spanning the gaming eras (8-bit onward), fantasy medieval to Sci-Fi, interwoven with an epic narrative linking them. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #rpg

This is such an amazing idea for a unique crossover of indie rpgs!

Can't wait for this one!

Quartet will release on all PC platforms, August 26th, 2025! Console ports will be later in the year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLGg...

I'll be picking this one up for sure. The slick animations and turn-based combat has me locked in.

Absolutely deserved! My game of the decade right here!

Walkin' on water with the water spell. 🚶🌊 #JRPG #indiegame 🌟📝 Wishlist Shrine's Legacy! Links below. 👇

This is looking fantastic!

Just got another from my parallax artist, Josue, a few minutes ago. Another wip, but I'm just in love with the glow on the displays and the machine in the center. I wish I could afford for every map to be remade like this, but I'm reserving these for crucial areas. #jrpg #rpg #indiedev #gamedev

This is still a wip, but here's one of the new, updated maps for Episode 3 of Zenogaias with all new lighting, tiles, etc. Showing the before and current for a ruined lab area. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #rpg #jrpg #rpgmaker
