Getting Started

🎉🎉 We got our very first non-family/friends supporter today on Kofi!! 😭😭 We're very thankful. Thanks for supporting our #indiedev journey.

Sad Lore Time 😭 Porsum always follow their mom, but since their mom was captured and blinded, the illegal traders force the mom somewhere and their Porsum children become haulers following her. #indiedev #gamedev #fakemon

When exploring, beware the tax collector... ! He is Hydenel; Hydenel is he. Respect his top hat. It makes him official. 🎩😈 #indiedev #gamedev #fakemon

Rolog is a beast!! 😈🌲 He's so cool, and I'm really proud of him. His design is inspired by a ram mask, with much love to the characters of my favorite Supergiant game, Pyre. Throw in some Groot and MTG dryads, and tada! 🎉 #gamedev #indiedev #fakemon

Another personal creature design-- 🥹 Odinhund's inspired by the bull mastiff we had one day hoped to have. Fun Fact: Hund means dog in several Nordic languages! #gamedev #indiedev #fakemon

Our Discord bot game is much inspired by Neopets! I loved the heck out of daily interest. So in the city for our game, I wanted a bank and tax collectors who could come after you-- 😵💰 The city also has slot machines and an underground ring, inspired by Detective Pikachu ☠️ #indiedev #gamedev

Meet Crystrak, one of my personal favorite designs in our game-- Our reference board was filled with dragons and serpents. Two standouts were Red Eyes B. Chick from YuGiOh and jewel dragons from Cardfight Vanguard-- then, tada! 🎉 #gamedev #indiedev #fakemon

Tazank was the first creature designed! But out of 30 people's votes, nobody chose him. Data says he should be put aside & redone, but I foolishly decided I'd love him anyway. I want a game that others like, yet I also want to allow myself to love our game too. #gamedev #indiedev #fakemon

Meet Shili, a creature in our game! I love Lunar New Year, so for this design, I leaned heavily into the dragon dance and guardian lions. As soon as my artist partner showed the first sketch, I knew she was perfect. #fakemon #indiedev #gamedev
