This week we've been stuck into AI land to improve the difficulty of our single-player battles. It's a bit hard to show that in a video, so instead here's the effects we added to modify the look of our battle scene! #screenshotsaturday #madewithunity #indiegames #gamedev

We're adding a new piece to our turn-based strategy game! It's a little robot that you can spawn mid-battle to get some help fighting off the opponent. He's so cute 🥺 Game is called Kingdom in Pieces and you can get more info with the link in our bio! #indiedev #indiegames #strategygame #gamedev

We just realized we had the wrong material on the characters so none of them were being impacted by the post-processing effects. So here's the real before and after! #madewithunity #indiegames #strategy

We thought it was time to do a first pass on our post-processing for Kingdom in Pieces! I really like the color adjustment the artist did for this spooky village. What do you think? Leave us a comment if you have any advice to make it better! #screenshotsaturday #indiegames #gamedev #strategygame

Day 12 of our #12daysofgamedev! For the final day, I wanted to share a look at how we make our characters. It starts with rough sketches, then we do higher-fidelity drawings, and after a lot of work in Blender... it's ready! #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev

Day 11 of our #12daysof gamedev! That horse was the first character model we did to find the style for Kingdom in Pieces, and we knew something was wrong... but it took us way too long to figure out WHAT the problem was. Must have been a Monday! #indiegames #gamedev #indiedev

Day 10 of our #12daysof gamedev! This is an appreciation post for Thiago, the artist that has been the other half of the studio since the beginning! He did all the pixel art of While the Iron's Hot, and now he does all the 3D stuff for Kingdom in Pieces. #gamedev #indiegames

Day 9 of our #12daysof gamedev! Today I wanted to (re)share the best advice I have ever received. Don't worry about how it looks at first, just make it exist! Once it's real, you can spend your time on making it look good. #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev

Day 8 of our #12DaysOf GameDev! If I was just starting to learn how to make games today, there is three things that I would do differently than I did. Bit of a longer post today! 1/4 🧵 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

Ho-ho-ho! 🎅 Xmas is almost here, so to celebrate we're doing our own twist on the 12 days of Xmas: 12 days of gamedev! Each day we'll share a quick tip or trick that we learned or used while working on our games. #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev

Big week for Kingdom in Pieces! We finally decided what “winning” a battle actually means... and made the system that checks it. 😅 New devlog is up! Leave us a comment if you want to see more Kingdom in Pieces content! youtube.com/shorts/1... #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d

Me getting ready to fix the leak under my sink after one YouTube tutorial

We’re baaack!!! We fixed the bug that stopped us from recording last week’s recap, so here’s where we’re at now. The keyword for this #screenshotsaturday is multiplayer! ⬇️🧵

We'll be late on our usual dev recap because I ran into a huge bug while trying to record the progress... Gamedev ❤️ In the meantime, enjoy this donkey we finished yesterday! #gamedev #indiegames #indiegamedev #blender3d #KingdomInPieces

Woke up to the kindest comment today. Moments like this remind me why I love making games in the first place 🫶

Another week another devlog on Kingdom in Pieces, the chess-inspired game we're working on. This time we're trying out a new format for this weekly recap, and we have some really cool updates to share with you! 🧵👇

Devlog 14 is here: we did something not major at all… we just added multiplayer to Kingdom in Pieces! If you’re into turn-based strategy or chess-inspired games, follow along and check out Kingdom in Pieces on Kickstarter! #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity #chess #roguelite

Kingdom in Pieces is a turn-based strategy game inspired by chess and MediEvil! 🧩 assemble quirky miniatures to build your army 📖 experience each faction’s story through roguelike campaigns ⚔️ test your skill against friends Follow us to see our progress! #PitchYaGame

Devlog 13: we reworked our animations! A few new VFX and smoother transitions made everything feel much more alive and satisfying. Drop a like, comment, and follow if you’re enjoying the progress! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #madewithunity

We've started to show our attack animations a bit more love! First one we revamped is the horse's trample. I love adding VFXs so I'm really excited to have started on those! Any advice to make these animations better is super appreciated 🙏 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #unity3d #KingdomInPieces

Devlog 12 of Kingdom in Pieces! We reworked the lighting and almost hit 60fps even while recording on an old computer. Also gave some love to one of the first UIs you’ll see when launching the game. Like, comment, and share for more behind-the-scenes! #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev #unity

We just received a voice actor reel and it’s such a cool feeling hearing some of our characters come to life. Huge thanks to @tomgilvearva for the amazing performance. Go check out their profile, they did an incredible job. #gamedev #indiedev #gameaudio #indiegames #KingdomInPieces 1/2

Devlog 11 is here! We brought The Doctor to life, one of the Varnak's earliest creations. He's built to stitch flesh into new horrors! My favorite detail on that piece is the notebook. He really needs a new name though, so drop your ideas below! #indiegames #gamedev #indiedev

Meet the Doctor! One of the Dark Wizard’s earliest creations. It was built from a surgeon’s remains and reshaped with insect-like arms built for precision. With his help, Varnak’s army grew faster than the humans could prepare for. #gamedev #indiedev #blender #indiegames

Devlog 10! We're getting the game ready for the February 2026 NextFest! So we started by building a start menu for Kingdom in Pieces. I also started streaming, so come hang out and help make the game live with me on twitch ➡️ @itsplarnaud #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

Each of these minis has its own little story, and finding ways to show that in a still pose is so fun! It definitely makes us respect even more the artists who design plastic minis for tabletop. #gamedev #indiedev #miniatures #strategy #roguelike

Devlog 9 is here with more AI improvements! It now feels less repetitive, can play actions that need context clues, and we’re nearly done giving each piece its own way to judge “good” moves. Make sure to follow us if you like what we're showing! 🔥 #indiegames #gamedev #unity3d #indiedev 1/2

Let’s texture this limb together! 🎨 Follow along as our artist works on the next villain piece for Kingdom in Pieces, our chess-inspired indie game. Stick around for just 60 seconds to see the finished result! #gamedev #indiegame #3dart #indiedev #blender

Interrupting our usual broadcast to share that the Humble Games Autumn Sale has begun! There are a ton of awesome games on sale right now. Definitely check it out if you finished Silksong and need something to sink your teeth into! #gamedev #indiegames #indiegame #madewithunity 1/2
