this will be out tomorrow, wow! i'm planning on releasing it around 6pm UK time! see you then!

Blanksword's turn-based battles just received a very significant visual upgrade: positive and negative status effects are now displayed on two clearly separate rows! Now, we just need to add a soft background to the icons so they don't clash with the enemy behind them, and we'll be golden :]

It's been 42 days since our Steam Page and first trailer went live, and we're super humbled from the warm reception we got! My warmest thanks to all of you that engaged with our posts and wishlisted the project, it really means the world💚 Stay tuned for some exciting news in the following months :]

all things going well, my new little game Formless Star will release on friday! explore an ever changing planet and look for animals.

BLANK's source of precious grandma candy has once again dried up 😔

Today, I have the sweet-and-sour pleasure to release the Loose Leaf OST! Sweet, because it was a tremendously fun project and I learned a ton from working on it. Sour, because the game unfortunately got shelved. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRdx...

Blanksword's Library (one of the things we put together over the last weeks of development) is now fully playable, complete with its own song, interactables and events! Pictured below, BLANK makes the most of this new location by engaging in being a big nerd.

Acabamos de lançar um pacote com tema de CONEXÕES HUMANAS DESGASTADAS Vem com o Ticket… E MAIS! THERE SWINGS A SKULL do @bustedkeyboards.bsky.social e da @quinnkdev.bsky.social , um dos horrores narrativos MAIS ORIGINAIS da Steam E LORETTA, um adventure noirzão com aquele toquinho do sobrenatural

🫁 Behold: Lungs! 🫁 We're currently putting together a very light (and fairly permissive) stamina system for Blanksword. The lung icon is a little big here, and we made it smaller and better-positioned since this recording. What do you think?

If you see this, post a sword. ⚔️

a dear friend without a bsky account is trying to cover the costs of making a cross country house move while scraping by on disability allowance & a shitty part time job. sharing = <3, from me www.gofundme.com/f/moving-is-...

Our RPG has a lot of references to bugs - there's a certain category of skills you can unlock that enhance your attacks with special properties, and they all make a different bug hover around you! Here's what the little buggers look like in Battle 🐛

hey. fuck. i don't have enough money for groceries, let alone rent for the beginning of may. i know i come asking for help frequently, but things have been dire and the little ways ive been able to get above water's been so temporary. ko-fi.com/quinnkdev please help me eat, if you have the means.

Very thrilled to be able to share more of @koboldfactory.bsky.social 's work on Blanksword! This library is going to be quite a significant find for players, once they manage to find their way into it :]

Hey, remember our moving platforms from a month ago? This is what they look like now :] Next (and probably final) step will be to add a bit of easing to them, so they feel like they accelerate and decelerate into a more natural motion!

It's #WishlistWednesday ! I'm making a horror RPG called They Speak From the Abyss: Zenith #turnbasedrpg #indiegame store.steampowered.com/app/2393290/...

oh, #WishlistWednesday , you say? i'm working on Blanksword ( @blanksword.bsky.social ), a roguelike rpg where you're an Angel, lost your brain, and have to find the one-eyed weirdo who took it! (no BLANKs harmed in the making of this video.) wishlist here! store.steampowered.com/app/3484670/...

You can now sell items in Blanksword! You'll regularly meet shopkeepers during your travels - if you're short a few Possessions, they might buy something from your inventory :] Plus, every shopkeeper has their own preferences - they'll refuse certain items but give you great deals on others!

I only have like 10 bucks and still haven't gotten any takers, so if anyone wants something I'd be willing to do stuff for cheap, just email me and I'd be happy to work it out!

i *need* to make maps i can get truly excited about in my videogame, and i need to do so *now*

Unfinished "Bessttsy's City RPG" Map

Game developer: Let's make a nice enemy that shoots some projectiles towards the player, this will give our RPG variety and dynamism :] Game engine: Got it, he'll just shoot at the wall Game engine: Ah, our enemy appears to have spotted the player. INFINITE NAILGUN

It's that time of year! After a wild move, taxes, and leasing a storage unit we're in desperate need of cash and we'll make Custom Crypts, 3D Models, Arts, Musics, or anything else you'd want for your enjoyment or projects... Just email me at [email protected] and dreams will come true!

I drew this carpet! Very happy with how it turned out. Check it out!
