Is there a better way to celebrate the spooky season and #WeirdTober than fighting giant spiders dressed in goth outfit? #survivalgame #indiedev #indiegame #dusklander #goth #spookytober
Blocking spider attacks like a boss. It only looks easy, I'm actually a pro. You shouldn't try this yo... Ouch! #survivalgame #indiegame #indiedev #goth #parry #combat Wishlist Dusklander! store.steampowered.com/app/4386890/...
Applications are open to #WeirdTober : sound designers, makeup artists, designers, cosplayers, animators, 3D artists, game developers, voice actors, and more. More details in comments👇 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #GameNews #Spookyseason #Pumpkin #horror #spooky #cozy #halloween #art #fantasy

Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Parry animation set is finally done. Another 88 hand pixelated frames are behind me ^^ #pixelart #animation #dusklander #survivalgame #goth #parry #parryit

Sneak peek of the block, parry and counter attack system. Sustaining the shield costs you light, but well timed parries are completely free. Only skill is required. #indiedev #survivalgame #goth #indiegame #parryit
This is how I fixed trees blocking the view of my protagonist and hiding items that got dropped behind them. #survivalgame #indiegame #indiedev
A bit scary moment in my dev career. First face reveal here and also 20 minutes of uncut, unedited commentary gameplay. Let me know how it went :D #indiedev #survivalgame #indiegame #devlog #facereveal www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3ZI...
Dusklander - First Developer Commentary

I know some of you must be tired of my run animations on grey background so... This time the final result of running in all 8 directions in-game ^^ IT'S FINALLY DONE! #pixelart #goth #running #survivalgame #indiegame #indiedev
Two more angles done. Back diagonal perspective this time. Just one more animation and I'm finally done with run cycles! #pixelart #running #animation #goth #indiedev #indiegame
The other day someone asked me "How are you going to support other outfits for your protagonist?" Well... When I animate her I always draw the base body first and then apply cloth as another layer. Adding new armors should be easier this way. #pixelart #indiegame #goth #indiegame
Recently I worked on water filtering in Dusklander so I'd like to showcase the entire process from scratch to getting clean water. #survivalgame #indiegame #indiedev #dusklander #goth #water #primitivetechnology
Working on run animations for 8 directions is a rather time consuming process... So to keep myself motivated I'm going to post all angles here regularly. Enjoy the right cycle first! :) #pixelartㅤㅤㅤ #animation #gamedev #indiedev #goth #run #runcycle
Implementing this creature and its behaviours took me a while but I'm quite happy with this little skittish hybrid :) Enjoy the video that shows various attemps to hunt the elusive Duskling! #survivalgame #indiegame #indiedev #goth #hunt #dusklander
A little sneak peek of a little neutral creature I've been working on recently. Dusklings are fairly easily spooked so hunting them is going to require some finesse or accuracy and a well timed throw. I know they're cute but hunting means survival here. #survivalgame #indiegame #indiedev #creature
Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? It's drawing 8 directional pixelart animations for the game you develop solo. 144 hand drawn frames and at least 10 points of sanity lost but it's done finally. Behold all throw angles! #pixelart #indiedev #indiegame #goth #animation
Just Hope practicing her axe throwing skills in Dusklander. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #survivalgame #indiedev #goth #survival
Yes, you'll be able to throw most weapons in Dusklander. It's nice to be back to making content for the game instead of promo content for the reveal at last^^ #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #goth #indiegame #survivalgame #axe #throw #animation
I haven't shared any new content for a while because I was busy with game's reveal. But I actually have something cool to showcase - basics of my melee combat system :) Each consecutive strike of the combo deals more damage. #indiedev #gamedev #survivalgame #goth #combat #indiegame
Can you guess her nationality based on a couple of voice lines? What gave her away? #indiedev #indiegame #survivalgame #dusklander #goth #voiceactress
The announcement of Dusklander went great :) I'm so happy with all the positive responses and all the words of encouragement. In case you missed it, here's my short trailer and if you like it, wishlist on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/4386890/... #indiedev #indiegame #survivalgame #reveal
Please help this post reach as many eyes as possible! Dusklander has finally been announced and it could use all the visibility it can get. If you're into survival games don't hesitate to wishlist it on Steam :) store.steampowered.com/app/4386890/... #indiedev #gamedev #survivalgame #announcement
The announcement of my survival game is going to happen on May 20th. Only 6 days left... I must admit I'm a little nervous about it. Anyway, here's a sneak peek of my key art. Stay tuned for the announcement trailer :D #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #survivalgame #indiegame
It's the last animation I needed for the announcement trailer. I'll probably go quiet for a week or two doing final preparations and putting together a trailer. Then I'll drop the Steam page with big announcement news. Stay tuned! ^^ #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #run #survivalgame #indiegame
Testing some new content. A new mechanic - mining and also a new armor crafted from chitin shells. Better protection than her default dress for sure. #indiedev #gamedev #mining #animation #indiegame #pixelart #survivalgame
A little change of scenery this time. I'm working on the opening scene for the game. A little voice over sneak peak too! What do you think? Does it remind you of anything? #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #survivalgame #awakening
Foundations of my combat system: Parry & Counter. Timing can be a little tricky for charging enemies but once mastered it's really satisfying. Don't feel sorry for the moth. It picked the fight. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #survivalgame #parry #counter #moth #combat
