Rest in peace to the skeletons that died to show off the exploding skull bomb. Logo art by @mysteeria.bsky.social #wishlistwednesday #solodev #gamedev #lowpoly #blender #unity

I wanted to give the player a fun, optional 'challenge', and that turned into this arena. Defeat the waves of enemies and earn yourself a big reward! Logo art by @mysteeria.bsky.social #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #blender #unity

Just about 10 days to go until Deathward's release! Really crazy to be this close to publishing the project I've been working on for so long. Logo art by @mysteeria.bsky.social #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #blender #unity

Here's a few of the animations for the 'demon' enemy. Looks a bit like an alien, maybe, who knows? Logo art by @mysteeria.bsky.social Music is "Missing the Time We Had" by ZapSplat #wishlistwednesday #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #blender #unity

Back again with the first enemy I put into the game! They've obviously gone through a bit of revision since then, haha, but still one of my favorites. Logo art by @mysteeria.bsky.social l #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #blender #unity

My contribution for #screenshotsaturday, the 'shield' spell! Use it to block incoming attacks, and redirect some of that damage back at your enemies! Logo art by @mysteeria.bsky.social #solodev #gamedev #lowpoly #blender #unity

You may be able to pull your enemies, but these lizards can do the same to you! Logo art by @mysteeria.bsky.social #wishlistwednesday #solodev #gamedev #lowpoly #blender #unity

I've shown the skeletons helping you fight, but they can be used for other things too. For example, sometimes you need an extra friend to stand on that button so you can cross a chasm! Logo art by @mysteeria.bsky.social #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #blender #unity

The 'pull' ability is useful for more than just moving blocks around. You can use it to grab your enemies and leave them vulnerable to attack, too! Logo art by @mysteeria.bsky.social #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #blender #unity

Keeping up the trend with traps...Here is the player navigating the falling boulders in the mountain. Dodging the boulders is easy, but the monsters make it a little harder! Logo art by @mysteeria.bsky.social #wishlistwednesday #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #blender #unity

I love when traps that affect the player also affect the monsters, so I made sure the quicksand was no exception! Logo art by @mysteeria.bsky.social #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #blender #unity

I haven't shown off the 'regular' attacks yet, so here they are. A basic attack, a powerful spin, and of course...A dash! Logo art by @mysteeria.bsky.social #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #unity

Here's a very special little minion who you get to control yourself! They will even pick things up for you. Logo art by @mysteeria.bsky.social #wishlistwednesday #indiedev #lowpoly #blender #unity

Showing off another character, a 'seedling' villager! They're just a little NPC guy that is more than happy to talk to you. Logo art by @mysteeria.bsky.social Music by ZapSplat #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #blender #unity

One of my favorite parts of old Pokémon and Zelda games was being able to walk into a bunch of the buildings. So I had to make sure there are lots of nooks to explore! Logo art by @mysteeria.bsky.social Music by ZapSplat #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #blender #unity

And here are those skeletons in action...They fight on their own, and make great distractions! Logo art by @mysteeria.bsky.social #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #blender #unity

A close-up of those skeletons from yesterday! Logo art by @mysteeria.bsky.social Music by FesliyanStudios #wishlistwednesday #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #blender #unity

I thought I should probably show off some of the 'summoning skeletons' in the, you know, necromancer game. Logo art by @mysteeria.bsky.social Music by FesliyanStudios #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #blender #unity #necromancer

Small animation showcase from another character from Deathward, the druid! Logo art by @mysteeria.bsky.social Music by ZapSplat #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #blender #unity #druid

Happy to announce that Deathward releases August 11, 2026. Hope to see you there! Wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3968360/... Logo art by @mysteeria.bsky.social Music is "Red Sands" by ZapSplat #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #necromancer #wishlistwednesday

Thank you for everyone who checked out Deathward during Steam Next Fest! Please enjoy a small highlight reel (based on) some of my favorite moments from the demo! Logo art by @mysteeria.bsky.social Music by ZapSplat #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #blender #unity #necromancer

A small look at one of the shops in Deathward…How do you guys like shops being built 'in-world' instead of in the UI? Logo art by @mysteeria.bsky.social Music by ZapSplat #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #blender #unity #necromancer

Without giving away any real solutions...Here's a few light-puzzles from my game! Logo art by @mysteeria.bsky.social Music by Eric Matyas: www.soundimage.org #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #blender #unity #necromancer

A little bit of cavern delving never hurt anyone...Well except those drageckos, I guess. Worth it for the coins? Logo art by @mysteeria.bsky.social Music by ZapSplat #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #blender #unity #necromancer

At long last, it's time for #SteamNextFest! Deathward has a demo for it, and I hope everyone has a chance to try it out, here: store.steampowered.com/app/3968360/... Happy Next Fest to my fellow indie devs and players alike! #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #blender #unity

Showing off a little fishing minigame in Deathward. I like how the 'claw machine' inspiration worked out for it. What's your favorite fishing minigame you've played? Logo art was made by @mysteeria.bsky.social Music is by ZapSplat #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #blender #unity

Maybe not the prettiest 'glyphs', but controller support for keyboard/mouse, Xbox One, and now PlayStation (Dualshock) controllers should (hopefully) be working! Xbox support should cover the Steam Deck, as well.

A small snippet of the player making their way through the forest. How do we feel about monster ambushes? #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #blender #unity
