Wurm Fud (DOUR TOWER)@wurmfud.itch.io · 4mo agoHey yall, Slaughter Void launches today in just a few hours; it's a game that wasn't supposed to get this far, that @smeli.bsky.social and I made together for fun a couple years ago. It would mean the world if you checked it out. #indiedev #swordandsorcery store.steampowered.com/app/3333980/...
We just released the demo (and this awesome trailer) for Escape from Slumberland! Go check it out on Steam - store.steampowered.com/app/3011520/...
Go play this locally-grown grass-fed Chicago game! Got to play it at CIGS last year and it's come a long way since.
Swarmforge@swarmforge.bsky.social · 5mo agoI pushed the button! Buy SOLARFLARE today, and tell me what difficulty you could clear, and how, so I can loudly congratulate you (and then maybe quietly nerf it a little bit). store.steampowered.com/app/3941030/... We have a cute #axolotl with goggles, maybe that helps? #pixelart #indiedev
Got brand spanking new inventory UI art thanks to the artist I work with (Ben Collie), feels great to upgrade this after such a long time having the temporary art. Old version in the thread.
This is the type of stupid stuff people re-post on Bluesky. How about instead of shaming the oppressed, you encourage them and try to build towards something better together 🤔

Rough draft of a couple of the moves on the upcoming boss for HT2K for #ScreenshotSaturdays, playing around with the IK legs and all #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames
Changed my camera to orthographic, and it actually looks kinda cool? Idk if I'll use it but it's fun to see the game a different way
Here's a couple behind-the-scene views you will never see in-game. I really love the isometric view, would be fun to maybe re-visit this game as like a third person city builder or something.
Still ramping up towards the demo, working on a new trailer for it along with re-working the game loop after feedback from CIGS. Took catalog of all characters made for the game so far today, here they are.
Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

Contracted the talented fernandobravan to make this fantastic capsule art. You can see the progress from the image I first sent him to the final art. (Thank god I can afford to hire an artist and don't have to use the first one) www.artstation.com/bravanart
