A look at the character portraits we used for dialogues and story events. Animation options were quite limited, but to improve immersion—and to avoid having the characters just stand there in an idle loop—I added a few facial animations for various reactions. #indiedev #animation

Early in the development of HeistGeist, we decided to add a city map to give players a better sense of the world and mission locations. Many months later, we ended up with an unnecessarily large, highly detailed 6K map that took way too long to finish—but it's a cool poster. #indiedev #gamedev #art

Something we picked up from our conference colleagues: we always make a little flyer for our games, complete with a short comic that captures the game's vibe. That way, everyone who plays the demo can take home something more memorable than just a boring business card. #indiedev #gamedev #art

Even animating a simple robo-turret can be a lot of fun. #indiedev #animation

Can always count on @greyalien.bsky.social’s lectures to fill me with optimism.

Apparently it’s Insect Wild West Wednesday (totally made that up just now). So here’s a few more characters from our old game Blood will be Spilled. #indiedev #gamedev #art"

A peek behind the curtain. This is what we call a 'battle arena' — a 2D background for combat. I went for an ultra-wide look with a touch of fisheye perspective, so we can move the camera dynamically during fights. Unity 2D lights handle all the extra lighting and coloring. #indiedev #gamedev #art

Kicking off the week with some insect-Wild-West town architecture I created for our old game Blood will be Spilled a few years back. #indiedev #gamedev #art

Yay! Last night, we won the BiT Awards 2025 — the biennial, biggest, most prestigious (and basically the only) game award in Slovakia — in the category of BEST NARRATIVE. And we’re absolutely thrilled!🎉 #indiegames #indiedev

What a trip down memory lane — animating these has been a lot of fun as well.

Hi #PortfolioDay! I’m Martin, a graphic designer, illustrator, and small indie game dev. Recently, my focus has been mainly on architecture and technical illustrations for our game.

I reckon it’s the right time to drop another batch of gun-slinging Wild West insects from our old game Blood will be Spilled. #indiedev #gamedev #art

For the Механика refinery arenas in our game, I wanted something intense and unsettling—something that felt like a fiery steel maze full of green toxic fog. A kind of hell that reflected what our main character was going through. #indiedev #gamedev #art

If you're too afraid to make something stupid, you can't make something cool, because they're the same thing to different people

Quote with a title screen that is important to you

My friends are making a wonderful game—be sure to check it out! I've already sunk multiple hours into it during various stages of playtesting, and it just keeps getting better and better."

I'm planning to disable my Twitter account at some point, but first I'll move some older stuff over here so it doesn’t get lost like tears in rain. So here’s some more Wild West insects from our old game Blood will be Spilled. #indiedev #gamedev #art #conceptart

‘The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.’ Ports and harbors have that raw, cyberpunky vibe that I find visually very appealing. Here are some of the battle arenas I created for our game HeistGeist—probably some of my favorites. #indiedev #gamedev #art"

Almost six years ago, after a tough development, we released our first game—Blood will be Spilled. It wasn’t very successful; it’s a bit rough and janky, and it has bugs that will stay there forever. But hell, it was so much fun, and I drew soo much cool stuff! #indiedev #gamedev #art

yes
