AKASHA, a Sanskrit word meaning "sky", "space" or "aether", is characterized as a sort of life force; also referred to as "indestructible tablets of the astral light" recording both the past and future of human thought and action, as said by the famous mystic Helena P. Blavatsky.

What chu guys think about the JoeDigital logos in Black & White? #logo #design #graphics #b3d #blender

๐Ÿ’Ž Crystals, crystals, crystals!! #indiedev #indiegame #Godot #gameart

I published a blog post about the story behind my game AKASHA and how the creation of this game is really a 10 year journey of mine coming full circle. It's been a wild ride! itch.io/blog/845546/... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #Godot #3d

My indie game in 15 seconds:

๐ŸŽ‰ VERY successful playtest today! It took ~40 minutes to get through the demo which is beyond what I expected. He did encounter a couple critical bugs so maybe would have taken less time... Now I have some clear things to fix and improve, but overall the demo is almost there! #gamedev #indiegame

The Akashic Records are the memory of Nature, the indelible picture of all that has ever happened, said, or thought in the universe. #gamedev #indiedev #PuzzleGame #b3d #Godot

๐Ÿบ The mystical fire cauldron opening up and sliding out of view as we take the Flame into our possession. The game is ready for internal testing. Going down this week. Can't wait to get some feedback and push it forward! #gamedev #indiegames #Godot #b3d #indiedev

๐Ÿงฉ What are these little green things? Looks like a new feature to me... This was a big weekend for the game! On top of this mysterious new feature, I also managed to fix some stuff under the hood to improve the developer experience in engine! #gamedev #indiegame #b3d

Any Indie developers out there with experience publishing to the Epic store? Would love to hear how it is.

๐Ÿ”ฎ The Akashic Record is a living repository of universal knowledge. To perceive it requires an inner stillness, for it is written not in words, but in the vibrational essence of life. #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev #NewAgeGaming #AkashicRecords

๐Ÿž Solving bugs first thing in the morning! Didn't get much done last night & I'm off to a concert tonight so I'm squeezing this in now. โš ๏ธ If YOU want to be part of a private play test for AKASHA, comment or send me a DM and I'll add you to the list! Limited slots available! #gamedev #indiedev

Made a small update to my Camera Shake 3D asset for Godot! Just a couple of small bug fixes, but it's a super simple add on that lets you easily add camera shake to any project. godotengine.org/asset-librar... #gamedev #Godot #GodotEngine #opensource

๐Ÿ‘€ Really loving how this game is looking! I've been working on a bunch of graphics settings to give some control over how the game performs. I might be over doing it on Godot environment effects... ๐Ÿคฃ #screenshotsaturday #Godot #gamedev #indiegames #newgame #3d

๐Ÿ’ค Just a little #screenshot before I hit the hay. Progress is being made. Getting to a releasable demo state. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #Godot #b3d #gameart

New banner, who dis

๐Ÿค” Not sure what to do with this hole thing... Seems interesting thou #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #Godot #3d

๐Ÿ‘€ How it looks in Blender, and then how it looks in Godot after import. Thoughts?? I think I have the pipeline for the level artwork worked out. Now it's just a matter of putting in the work to get all the levels up to spec! ๐Ÿ’ช #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev #GodotEngine #b3d #gameart #indiedev

๐Ÿ“ธ #screenshotsaturday ZOOMED OUT! This zoom out feature is still one of my absolute favourite suggestions I got from play testing. Hope everyone's having a great weekend! #gamedev #Godot #gameart #gamedesign #indiegames

๐Ÿ‘‹ Good morning

One more cause I thought this looked insane! #Godot #GodotEngine #render #reflection

#GODOT looking sharp when you apply some of the environment processes. ๐Ÿคฉ Reflections, ambient occlusion, and global illumination. #gamedev #indiegames #gameart #render #3dart

๐ŸŽจ Viz Dev Testing different blender export flows to figure out the most efficient ways of making levels look good. Experimenting with colors, lighting, and different styles of geometry. More coming soon! #Godot #Blender #3dart #gameart #gamedev #indiegames

Looking ahead ๐Ÿ‘€ #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev

๐Ÿ“ˆ Made great progress on art and animation this weekend! Not showing off too much just yet... Everything is still work in progress & I've started to feel I've been over sharing work before it's ready. I want you all to experience the game by playing it! #gamedev #gameart #indiedev #indie #Godot

๐ŸŽจ Art and style are still my pure focus. Here's just a couple of screenshots showing off the progress I made over the holiday. The hardest part of conceptualizing all this stuff, but I had a few creative break-throughs today. Can't wait to share more of the game! #gamedev #indieagames #Godot #3d

2025, here we go!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!! ๐ŸŽ„

๐Ÿƒ AESTHETIC MOTION MACHINES Just tryin'a get some more interesting visuals into the games background / outer boundaries and key areas of the levels. Just getting started really... Still lots of room for evolution. #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev #Godot #gameart #3d

๐ŸงŠ GEOMETRIC TIMELAPSE! Whipping up some more decorative models inspired by sacred geometry! These types of geometry are a huge inspiration in the theming of the game. This one was trickier than I expected & still a few kinks in the geo to work out... #gamedev #3dmodel #3dart #gameart #blender #3d

๐Ÿบ ENDLESS ART! Been spending ALL my time in Blender testing different ideas and designs and exporting to Godot. The concept is an etherial library but I still have lots to figure out to bring the whole idea to life! More of this stuff in context coming soon! #Blender #3dart #gameart #3d #gamedev

๐Ÿ“ธ Engine view screenshots are my fav. #gamedev #Godot #indiegames #gameart #wip

๐Ÿ‘๏ธ VISUAL EVOLUTION Continuing to test assets inside a library themed area, this time adding in some basic motion for objects in the scene. Honestly struggling to come up with some new concepts for visuals. Gotta find some fresh inspiration... ๐Ÿ‘€ #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #gameart #Godot

โ˜๏ธ ONE MORE CLIP! I'm quite pleased with how things are looking! I'm sure I'll feel different tomorrow morning... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #gaming #gameart #b3d

โšœ๏ธ GOLDEN ACCENTS I realized the colors I have were calling for some gold accents. I think it makes a big difference. Here's a quick run through of the test environment with the full FX stack. Next up: adding more motion to the scene. Stay tuned!! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #games #art #Godot

Looking pretty interesting... ๐Ÿง #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #Godot #blender #b3d #gameart

๐Ÿ˜ Just purchased and dove into this one! What an absolutely beautiful and charming game this is! Been following the development for a long time and I'm happy to say it's meeting all my expectations! Congrats to the team on the successful release! ๐Ÿ‘ #indiegame #gaming

๐Ÿงช VISUAL EXPERIMENTS! Here's an ultra stripped down test for an etherial library environment, just seeing how the geometry is looking in context. Arch ways, grant halls, cathedrals, and other beautiful forms and acheteture is what I'm aiming at. #gamedev #gameart #indiedev #blender #b3d #Godot
