Testing my custom 2D directional lighting system☀️ Godot 2D lights out of the box aren't really fitted for top down games, so I decided to develop my own system using luminosity masks. #pixelart #godot #gamedev #jrpg

Working on addressing the feedback from the first playtest. Should be pushing updates to Steam sometime this evening. #gamedev #indiegame

There were a total of 10 indie devs showing off their games at COMBO BREAKER this year. Join @jaidlyn.wakeupbuttons.com as she takes a stroll through the #CB2025 venue to check them out.

Hard work pays off. 10 years of passion and community support helped make this year's COMBO BREAKER the largest fighting game event the Midwest has ever seen. Thank you for celebrating with us. #CB2025

"I see the vision." - My favorite piece of feedback on the build so far #CB2025 ##gamedev #indiedev

Loving all the great feedback so far regarding the ComboBreaker build. Three pages of notes, and we're not through the first day. #gamedev #indiegame

Stop by the Indie Game Dev Gallery and say hello #indiegame #gamedev

The last few tweaks to the build are done. All set for the first ever public testing of Princess Paladin at @combobreaker.org next week! #indiegame #gamedev

WIP: Demon style enemy from ABYSS X ZERO I'm getting comfortable coding enemies with a huge movement pool. Bro got so many moves!!! It's hard to find a balance between too simple and too overwhelming when it comes to how many moves a boss or enemy has! #gamedev #indiegame #madewithunity #lowpoly

🚨WE'RE BACK AND WE GOT BIG NEWS 🚨 Rune Fencer Illyia is now collaborating with OUTERSLOTH @outersloth.com! 🎉 (THEY GAVE US MONEY ❤️) #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

One of the many spells the player will have at their disposal... Tornado! This ability draws enemies in and makes it difficult for them to move. #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart

Testing out transitions between attacking, jumping, and magic. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Excited to show off the first playable build of Princess Paladin at ComboBreaker!

I got the barriers spawning correctly :--) The track generation is still very much a work in progress, but it is slowly shaping up to what I had in mind. #GameDev #Godot3

A bit of air combat action #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart

Spring is in bloom in Rog & Roll, and the birds are... well, not "chirping" per se, but - okay actually the bird's role in all of this remains unclear #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart

I think I'm finally happy with how this turned out! How does it look? #gamedev #gamemaker #indiedev

Here's the windup... and the swing! #pixelart #gamedev #indiegame

Testing out some early combo strings for Fridge, really happy with how his animations are coming together. Feels chunky in all the right ways. #gamedev #indiedev #animation #fgc

Effectively weaving between melee combat, parries, Discharge Cancels, and shooting is key to surviving in the Toyko Ruins. 東京遺跡で生き続けるため、近接戦闘、パリー、ディスチャージキャンセル、射撃を全部上手く使う必要があります #screenshotsaturday #nightmareoperator #gamedev #ps1 #psx #indiegame

The Spinner can really help you dodge and move quickly around boss arenas, while still doing damage with firearms! Work in progress footage from ABYSS X ZERO (Maybe I'm playing too much THUG? Maybe.) Music by @ironfairy.bsky.social #gamedev #lowpoly #indiegame #axz
