Been a minute since I posted here, have had a very busy time at college. We had a course about creating a game in Unity for 8 weeks and today is the last day. So I decided to toss my game up on Itch. mr-sheriffen.itch.io/voltcore #unity | #gamedev | #indiegame | #towerdefense | #td

Some more animations straight from the developer room. This time tackling portals. Would say implementation is 50% there. Let me know what you think of the pixel art on this one! ✨ #roguelike | #gamedev | #indiegame | #metroidvania | #pixelart

Had to make a small sacrifice to the old ones (and really lean into my math skills) for this one. Footage from the developer room of the eyebeasts new look. Please let me know what you think of it! 🪼 #roguelike | #gamedev | #indiegame | #metroidvania | #pixelart

Been a minute since I posted anything here. College has been quite busy as of late. But things are still moving in the background, currently working on teleporters! #roguelike | #gamedev | #indiegame | #metroidvania | #pixelart

The January status update will unfortunately be a bit delayed. Long story short had to reinstall EVERYTHING on my computer. Just getting up to speed now and studies have to be priority one. Thanks for understanding!

Forgot to post the link to this months development update on Patreon. It's fairly short as I have had a busy month. Thanks for checking it out! 🩻 #roguelike | #gamedev | #indiegame | #metroidvania | #pixelart

We ended up in England for a wedding, the november status report will be a week late and obviously I can't patch any bugs right now. But here's some pumpkins we made 2 years ago, Happy Halloween everyone! #halloween #spooky #pumpkins #jackolantern

I think I stumbled upon a really interesting way to create animations. Dabbled a bit with it as a improved visual for the Apostles teleport. Feel free to weigh in what you think of the animation! #roguelike | #gamedev | #indiegame | #metroidvania | #pixelart

I've received some feedback about the boss fight and fixed a few bugs, so hopefully it will be less punishing if you fail to dodge an attack now. Pushed the patch to Itch.io! Thank you for reporting the bugs people! #roguelike | #gamedev | #indiegame | #metroidvania | #pixelart

It's time to get spooky! I pushed an update to the game to Itch.io. This is not the full demo, but will most likely be one of the last patches before the demo is ready. Please do check it out and drop your feedback on it! 🎃💀 #roguelike | #gamedev | #indiegame | #metroidvania | #pixelart

I cleaned up the graphics a bit for the relic "Revenant" which spawns homing exploding skulls whenever you take damage. I found the old version to be too big. Feedback welcome! #roguelike | #gamedev | #indiegame | #metroidvania | #pixelart

Spooky season is almost upon us, and I figured Throne of Marrow desperately needed some Halloween haunts. I'm planning to have a few seasonal decorations strewn about, but also a few permanent passive and active items based around it! #roguelike | #gamedev | #indiegame | #metroidvania | #pixelart

Morning everyone! I am on the hunt for YouTubers and Streamers who are interested in soulslike, games like Lunacid or Kings Field, RPGs and Metroidvanias! The Life Blood demo releases next Wednesday and we would love to share around anyone who wants to do a bit of streaming the game! ✨ #gaming

Still a few loose ends to take care of. But after that I will publish a test version over on Itch.io. This is not the full DEMO however, that is still in development, but I wanted to get a more up to date version out for y'all! #roguelike | #gamedev | #indiegame | #metroidvania | #pixelart

Still very much a work in progress. But I am pretty sure this is the final "layout" of the boss room. Also the floors might not always be under your feet, exclamation marks temporary to show when they become unstable. Stay alert! #roguelike | #gamedev | #indiegame | #metroidvania | #pixelart

Currently working on the very first cutscene for Throne of Marrow, which is the boss introduction. Also got around to playtesting some new attacks! #roguelike | #gamedev | #indiegame | #metroidvania | #pixelart

I was updating the text for interactable objects so it makes text less blurry overall, and decided to give the entrance/exits some love. So now there's some nice god rays spilling out of them! #roguelike | #gamedev | #indiegame | #metroidvania | #pixelart

A day late is better than never. September report just dropped over at Patreon. I appreciate it a ton if you could hop over there and give it a gander! #roguelike | #gamedev | #indiegame | #metroidvania | #pixelart

Currently working on the monthly Patreon post, got delayed due to studies. In the meantime I hit 200 followers. So here's some relics behind the scenes. Skadi's Pendant, Revenant and Sands of Fate. Explanation below! #roguelike | #gamedev | #indiegame | #metroidvania | #pixelart

A bit chilly outside today, don't ya think? Or maybe it's just my aura. #roguelike | #gamedev | #indiegame | #metroidvania | #pixelart

Doing some extensive testing of the passive items, dubbed "Relics" for Throne of Marrow today. I can happily report that it's a ton of fun creating overpowered builds. #roguelike | #gamedev | #indiegame | #metroidvania | #pixelart

No rest for the wicked. Unless my voice is wicked because I managed to get the flu and am having constant coughing fits. Really wanted to have a video out showcasing all the new progress in Throne of Marrow, but it will have to wait! #roguelike | #gamedev | #indiegame | #metroidvania | #pixelart

Finally got all the bugs squashed, couldn't for the life of me understand why my map was choppy when scrolling around. Then I found out that my game ran at a whopping 1 fps while paused. Sometimes my genius is almost frightening. #roguelike | #gamedev | #indiegame | #metroidvania | #pixelart
