Days have been crazy busy, thus, I'm quite absent from my social media and art gallery posting. Travelling, studying stuff, working on the game, and here are some photos from my latest trips within the country and inspirations. #photography #inspirations

I guess Im gonna be making some more of those. Seems to help across other social media too for short clips. #gamedev #gameplay #videogames

🛠️WIP- Also working on a new main menu screen. #gamedev

🪽Looking forward to sharing with you the new chapter in the game soon, which will also be included in the demo! 🙂 #gamedev #wip #videogames

Wip stuff. More details regarding new demo content very soon! If Asthenia is something that might interest you, please consider wishlist! (and try the demo) store.steampowered.com/app/4236360/... #gamedev #indiegame #fantasy

Crazy busy with some life matters as well as the new content for the demo and full version of the game. More news soon! #gamedev #indiegame

I'm a simple man and a simple artist, that's how I design the ideas and everything in game before it goes in the engine. #gameart #sketch #conceptart

🛠️Wip- Wide screenshot from new map progress. #gamedev #indiegame

💢Two birds with one stone. There is a certain attack when you run out of gauntlet energy that can help in some sticky situations. #gamedev #indiegame #demo

🛠️ WIP & Fails-Ragdoll mega fail: Experimenting with ragdolls on certain enemies and situations. #gamedev #bugs #funny

The HP statue's flame will die out eventually. The duration of the flames is variable in the game, and there is also an "upgraded" version of that statue later on with a fire that never goes out. #gamedev #demo

Correcting animations manually on this little fella over here. Generally, lots of work and polish to be done on certain enemies for the full version. #gamedev

⚠️Dynamic spawn events may prevent access to certain areas and can even block previously accessible points for resources. A safe spot or an HP statue is never to be taken for granted. #gamedev #steam #demo

"War". A new intro chapter is in the works for the game. It will also be included in the demo version. More news soon! #indiegame #gamedev #demo #updates

❌⚠️You know what's been missing? A demo tip of the day, that's right. Many people will miss it, but many of the same areas won't be the same twice after certain triggering events, and you also may find some secrets about a second visit to said places. #gamedev #indiegame

Replicating game work from the full version to the demo has been overwhelming but doing my best. Client work keeps me occupied, but I'm excited for you to see what's in store with some updates soon. #gamedev #indiegame

Lessons for the next game project for myself? Avoid spending another 7 years, even part-time (as I did), to make such a large game, and possibly hit your pension(?) by the time you complete it, going at this rate 🤣 #gamedev #indiegame

Σας ευχαριστώ πολύ παιδιά! Με τιμάτε!Thank you so much burritostream gr! 💙 youtube.com/@burritostre...

Crazy busy working on new stuff in the game, but here, have a teaser! @quentinstn.bsky.social is helping me clean up and improve the coding in this new sequence and polish my chaotic groundwork. #gamedev #wip

I anticipate that way too many secrets will be missed on a first playthrough in the full game. Gauntlet upgrade, new weapon, secret altering paths, optional bosses, and so much more. Still, I wanted to put all those in for those who love exploring and replaying for something new. #gamedev #demo

The Petrified Forest. Many different areas to explore in the full version of Asthenia! If it is something that genuinely interests you, please consider adding it to your wishlist and playing the demo: store.steampowered.com/app/4236360/... #gamedev

⚠️You thought he was done. You thought he would not come back with more tips. Well, he's back! with more obvious (?) demo tips! 😂 I saw many of you doing that. Yes, you. Don't! You cannot parry any attacks when tentacles are active!💀Stop it!⛔️❗️ #gamedev #indiegame #tips #gameplay

After some long day with client work, now is time for home made Greek Frappe and game dev 😎

Part-time work has been intense, thus I'm back to part-time dev for now as well. (double time laid off from gaming companies myself for a while now) That said, working on a lot of new updates for the game- hopefully I can implement them in the demo as well soon. (+new prologue) #gamedev #indie

Had some people the other day on Thomas Brush stream (which is down for some reason)who "accuse" me of using AI in my intro cutscene. No, I hand-painted digitally & combined my game 3d assets and a technique called "matte painting", used in the industry. So, there you have it. Intro video:

I am not making a hand-holding game. Quite the opposite, Asthenia is an organic exploration game that heavily borrows from Dark Souls design, Shadow of the Colossus, Ico and similar games. While there are hints, tips and objectives, the majority of the discovery is on you. #gamedev #indiegame

Wip: Working on a new major set piece for the game, just some screenshots before I get to record gameplay clips to show. #gamedev #indiegame #wip

Achievement unlocked! @thomasbrush.bsky.social Briefly reviewed my game demo! Thank you very much, Thomas! Been a fan & follower of your work for years now, had me want badly to get ripped by you haha! Lots to consider, study here & try to improve! Super appreciated! www.youtube.com/live/9MJ8cEC...

⚠️💢Guess what time it is. Time for the daily demo tip! You cannot parry every enemy attack. Observe their patterns and pay close attention to any tutorials, tips and hints, it will help you survive more easily! #gamedev #indiegame #tips #demo
