Had the pleasure of playing through Bionic Bay this weekend. A very cool platformer with a remarkable sense of place. Fans of megastructures, this one's for you.

i love gamecube... 💜 #lowpoly

That Nintendo Direct was really hype, but let's try to shine a spotlight on #Starseeker @starseekergame.bsky.social The indie game that got skipped over due to a stream glitch! #indiegame #gamedev youtu.be/a0Jyzf0QSB4?...

Just a little Magi #doodle to start off the day #art #Journeytothenightgod

Good morning! Started a new job and I have many little updates for you all soon! #Journeytothenightgod

Great games are not always successful. Successful games are not always great. Luck is 99% of this industry. If you hit gold with your game, amazing! Congratulations 🥳 If you don't, try to remember that **YOU MADE A GAME**. You're awesome. Now go make another one 💜 #IndieDev #GameDev

GOOD game

Magi's attack combo part 3 of 4 💪 We've got one more attack to go before she's fully completed her loop and this is going to be the hardest one yet ✨️ #indiegamedev #3dgameanimation #gameanimation #Journeytothenightgod

10 years of pixel art 🌨️

Made this Magi animation earlier this week, I hop yall enjoy! I Really aimed to feel the weight of the sword on this! #indiegamedev #3dgameanimation #gameanimation #Journeytothenightgod

Please keep going! Continue making your game, art, story etc. Your story deserves to be told ❤️

Got sick so progress slowed down, but we press on! Here are the first 2 parts of Magi's attack combo! I could stop here since they transition well into each other, but what's the fun in that? #indiegamedev #3dgameanimation #gameanimation #Journeytothenightgod

Never stop modeling. My first render, Feb 2021 → My first game, Feb 2025 #indiegame #gamedev #UnrealEngine

For so many reasons. (Reposting with alt text.)

#indiegamedev Update, shes animated! Magi's been a blast to animate so far and there's plenty more to do before she makes it into the game!

#indiegamedev I practiced my character modelling style for #JourneyToTheNightGod on this character. Magi, is a 4ft tall summon with a sword bigger than most of the playable characters. I'm incredibly happy with how she came out and cant wait to begin animations!

#indiegamedev random Sunday post pixel art "sketch" of an idea I had for a main menu background

We're going on an artistic adventure in Été! Live right now!! twitch.tv/ReFax09

#indiegamedev In the first clip I remember debating whether I found the time spent on the project to be worth it. Months of hard work later I still find it shocking witnessing some of my original vision come to life. Anyways, here's random gameplay footage as I complete player upgrades!

A cozy winter scene in my indie space game ❄️ #screenshotsaturday #indiegamedev

1K followers! I'll have more to update on soon for my game but right now here is some concept art for the first playable character and an upgrade called "Off the Leash" that increases summon damage (and its reference image)!

Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.

If you see this, post your blue art! 🔵
