Late build this week. I was sick. Ain't much, honest work, etc. - Fixed a memory leak - Made enemy guard effects distinguishable by shape - Rose swings counterclockwise when throwing, if you aim toward Rose's left #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #beatemup
Love to see the ancient game jam version still in the top search results 🥲 #ThrowbackThursday #indiegame #beatemup
Hello from allposter, my new all-platform PR tool https://github.com/ioribranford/allposter
Rose of Dragontail NEW Fall gameplay trailer! #TrailerTuesday
Someone probably found this. Hope they enjoyed it while it lasted 🤭 #ScreenshotSaturday
That feel when you badly need to update your trailer but you're so sleep-deprived you may as well have never seen this game before
Thanks for 999 wishlists on this #WishlistWednesday! Rose of Dragontail demo updated with the original title font and some new slowdown and post-processing effects for better feedback.
I was going to change Rose's official title font to Alita Brush, used in the current demo. I thought it looked more wild, like Rose herself. But The Rumor, still used in the stores, kept calling to me. And as often happens, it won me back. Rose is loud, bold, but not as feral or savage as Alita.
Is she a #beatemup? Is she a #hackandslash? I'm not sure anymore!!! 🤪 #screenshotsaturday
Rose's Steam tags mysteriously changed themselves overnight and there's no diff record? (Original order in ALT text) If these are actually better (are they???) and someone at @steampowered.com noticed me angsting over the tags and felt sorry for me, well, an email would've be nice but thanks?
Indie dev stuck for new indie games to play? Just start looking at your game's More Like This. You'll probably find a game that excites you, because some things in it excited you enough to put them in your own game.
Rose of Dragontail demo updated with Full Controller Support! With correct buttons for Switch, PS1-5, Xbox, even keyboard if you're into that (why) ...Yeah not much to look at, but took nearly every hour of the last week devving, polishing and fixing non-stop
Rose of Dragontail demo update 2026.2.6 Improved pile driver: Damage to held enemy 15->30 Damage to nearby enemies 10->25 Better slam effect sprite Nearby enemies get knocked away from you instead of all in the same direction Fixed held enemy going into a bugged state if you got grabbed out
Multi language support because I want to sell halfway decent *This is not the final pt-BR translation #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #indiegame
