Behind the Myth: Artemis 🌙 In Greek mythology, Artemis is the goddess of the hunt, the wilderness, the moon, and young women. In Olympus Ascendant, that mythology inspires an Artemis defined by quiet strength, sharp precision, and a protective presence. #GameDev #GreekMythology #IndieGameDev
Behind the Myth: Athena 🦉 In Greek mythology, Athena is the goddess of wisdom, strategy, warfare, and crafts, a god of precision and foresight. In Olympus Ascendant, that mythology inspires an Athena shaped by sharp judgment and controlled power. #GameDev #GreekMythology #IndieGameDev
Behind the Myth: Hera 👑 In Greek mythology, Hera is the queen of the gods, tied to marriage, family, queenship, and the expectation that loyalty should mean something. In Olympus Ascendant, that mythology inspires a Hera shaped by pride, betrayal. #GameDev #GreekMythology #IndieGameDev

Today’s dev discovery: the ghost enemy idle sound effects are far more terrifying than they have any right to be 👻😵💫 Not attacking. Not chasing. Just standing there making awful little noises and ruining the entire vibe 🎧 10/10, hate it 💀 #GameDev #IndieGameDev #GameAudio #DevHumour #HorrorGame
🧪 Meet Isaac, a QA Analyst for Olympus Ascendant! 🎮📚 With a love for games and books, Isaac helps test the experience and support the team by spotting the little things that make a big difference. #GameDev #IndieGameDev #MeetTheTeam #QA
Behind the Myth: Hades 🖤 In Greek mythology, Hades is the ruler of the Underworld, not death itself, but the one who maintains what comes after. Often misunderstood as cruel or villainous, he is more closely tied to duty, order, and inevitability. #GameDev #GreekMythology #IndieGameDev
Behind the Myth: Zeus ⚡ In mythology, Zeus is the king of the gods, tied to the sky, thunder, law, and order. But beyond the lightning, he represents authority, control, and the belief that power should earn admiration. #GameDev ##BehindTheMyth #GreekMythology #IndieGameDev #LorePost #MythInspired
✨ Behind every growing studio is someone helping build the connection between the team and the community, and for us, that’s Cori! Meet Aellyn Studios’ Public Relations Director 💜 #GameDev #IndieGameDev #BehindTheScenes #MeetTheTeam
Behind the Myth: The Fates ✨ The Moirai, the three sisters of destiny, each have their role in shaping the thread of life. In Olympus Ascendant, that mythology helps inspire themes of fate, consequence, and the feeling that something bigger is always at play. #GameDev #GreekMythology #IndieGameDev

Nothing builds character like reopening a project and wondering why past you made a choice with absolutely no explanation... #indiegamedev #indiegaming #gamedev #indiegame
We’re an indie studio creating worlds we’d want to get lost in ourselves. #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev

Early game development is weird because you spend ages building systems nobody will ever see, just so the final experience feels seamless. #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegaming #indiegame
