We celebrated the success of #playnyc2026 #animenyc2026 by watching JasInTheSky complete #hordeofviscount on stream, the "retro-vania with subweapons as advanced movement, but finite amount so use wisely," #metroidvania #retrogaming #gameboy #indiegames #speedrunning

Subweapons as movement with a finite pool to spend wisely sounds like a clever twist for a retro-vania. A Game Boy style metroidvania is exactly what I want to find on a show floor.

Veilkeeper is a tactical RPG where your army shrinks the deeper you push. Venture into unstable rifts. Leave units behind to maintain your connection. Build a shard worth returning to. How far can you go before the line breaks? In development — veilkeepergame.com

Alpha 0.1 launching on August 20th! Same day Veilkeeper shows up at PlayNYC it's going to go live on itch.io. Early proof of concept build for the combat section, looking forward to hearing feedback and starting the process of getting player feedback!

Veilkeeper is a tactical RPG where your army shrinks the deeper you push. You lead expeditions into unstable rifts, and every soldier assigned to hold a relay cannot fight in the next battle. The Play NYC demo is a three-fight run: draft six units, then choose one to leave behind between each battle

Before and current. Veilkeeper’s deployment phase already worked mechanically, but the presentation still felt like a prototype. The latest pass adds a real battlefield, clearer deployment boundaries, and a stronger first impression for new players. #gamedev #indiedev #veilkeeperdev

New players shouldn't have to guess what a unit does before choosing it. Veilkeeper's draft screen now has unit cards showing role, strengths, weaknesses, and a short tactical overview. Small UI changes like this make the first battle much easier to understand. #veilkeeperdev #gamedev #indiedev

First impressions matter. Here's Veilkeeper's title screen a few weeks apart. The core combat loop is done, so I'm shifting toward polish. Small improvements like this are helping the game become the vision I've had in my head. #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Another step toward Alpha. The combat loop is now complete, so I've started polishing the player's first impression—the title screen. Still plenty of work ahead, but it's rewarding to see Veilkeeper becoming more and more like the game I've had in my head. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

Horde of Viscount v2.1 is live on Steam! To celebrate, here's a video of running through Kingdom Castle in 22.28 seconds Link in bio or: store.steampowered.com/app/3927580/... #metroidvania #hordeofviscount #retrogaming #gameboy #indiegames #speedrunning

The world of Veilkeeper is starting to take shape. This is the first colored concept for the game's key art, exploring the contrast between the amber light of the home shard and the purple energy of the rift. veilkeepergame.com/devlog/post?... #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #veilkeeperdev

🌙🔥 it’s officially the start of summer & TONIGHT we have a special stream with my degenerate besties 😆 can’t wait to see you all later for Left 4 Dead / 2!!🧟‍♀️ @laylowlvp.bsky.social @bee90x @bullethammer.bsky.social

Veilkeeper now has a complete gameplay loop. Not the flashiest milestone, but an important one. The project can now be launched, played, completed, and restarted. It's starting to feel like a game instead of a collection of systems. #gamedev #indiedev #godot
