Just putting the final touches on the trailer and will be ready for our steam page launch soon for Nightbound! So excited.

We’re so close to announcing our game. Just putting the finishing touches on the trailer and Steam page.

You’ll now have to keep the lights powered during encounters… 👻 #indiedev

Working on the trailer and grabbing all these tiny little moments to splice together. #indiedev

Enemy siege artillery projectile WIP. Still tuning the timing, impact, and readability. #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart

Dialogue bug that triggered in completely the wrong place.😅 Calm down, Loren. #indiedev #gamedev

Garage night vibes. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

Redid our upstairs floors, railings, and chandelier. Wanted it to feel like a house that was once lived in. #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

Use the enemy’s spores against them with your Molotov. Sometimes the best answer to fire… is more fire. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

An enemy that punishes players for turtling too close together. Chain lightning. #indiedev #pixelart

🩹 #indiegame #indiedev

Redid the Ripper’s attack animation. It feels a lot more clear now. The previous one was hard to see and low visual clarity. #pixelart #indiegame #gamedev

Finished up the taunt. Added the indicator and shout VFX. #pixelart #indiegame #gamedev

Go yell at some enemies and hurt their feelings so they attack you instead. #pixelgame #pixelart #indiegame

Gave the radio a little animation to give it some character and a bit more life. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Interception fire is a big part of our gameplay loop. Here’s a small showcase of how it works. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Then vs. Now. It’s amazing to look back and see how much the game has grown. Loving every bit of this journey! #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart

Short combat gameplay vid. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Cute little sniper enemy. It fires chain lightning, making it dangerous to stay close together. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Attic’s finally done! Added some subtle light flickering for a little extra atmosphere. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Throw your partner to safety before the enemy turn if they’re low on health. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Her: Come over Enemy: busy destroying the house Her: My parents aren’t home Enemy: #gamedev #indiedev

Polished up our player turn UI picker. A lot of inspiration from Valkyria Chronicles, but reworked to fit our game’s 80s VHS aesthetic. #gamedev #indiedev

Took me all weekend, but I finally got rim lighting working on the players 😭. Also Pantry room art is done. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Curious how other developers approach SFX in their games. I’ve barely touched sound design yet, and the further development gets, the more I keep pushing it off 😅. Would love to hear how other devs tackle audio in indie games. #gamedev #indiedev

I've been wanting to implement this for a very long time. Your partner can now signal you to come help them search and you can find items. #gamedev #indiedev

New enemy Brute butt slam! So happy how this turned out! #gamedev #indiedev

I love gamedev for how much you learn. This ladder animation looks off. I knew something was wrong with it, but I wasn’t a good enough animator to understand WHY it felt wrong. I think people outside gamedev underestimate how much of this process is failing, problem solving, and learning. #gamedev

Concepts for an enemy that slams and displaces players. Started with a gorilla-style brute, but it felt too generic. Ended up with this bowling ball golem instead. #pixelart

Added molotov. Extra Cwispy. #gamedev #indiegame
