I'm a gamedev programmer, but for my game I spent as much time drawing. What sparked it was a growing dislike for generic AI "art", which made me accept and appreciate the quirks of my own hand-drawn art. Demo on Steam, link in Bio. Wishlist if you 😍. #ScreenshotSaturday #DigitalArt #IndieDev

I just dropped a new demo of Die for the Rat King on Steam! New mechanics, art and tweaks. Try it out and add it to your wishlist if you like it (or if you just want to make an old indie dev happy 😁). Link in my bio! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Got some new art done for Die for the Rat King. I usually just start drawing and see where it takes me. This time my subconscious decided that the crab's second phase should reveal that it's being piloted by something frog-like. Sure. Why not? Demo available! #IndieDev #GameDev #IndieGame #GameArt

🎲 Die for the Rat King 🐀 A dungeon crawler with dice-based combat inspired by deckbuilders. Forge powerful builds, discover strange encounters, and help the Rat King reclaim his monster-infested realm. 🕹️ Demo available now on Steam! 🎉 #PitchYaGame #indiedev #gamedev

That moment when you get positively surprised by a jump in traffic on your Steam page... 📈🥳 ...only to discover it was just another horde of bots. 🤖😭 #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #steam

Made my first Youtube shorts. Let's see how this goes. With 7 subscribers I guess I can't expect wonders. 😂 #indiegames #gamedev #roguelite

Would you pet this puppy? 🐶⚠️ 10/10, Would do it again!❤️

If you're lucky you can encounter a puppy as a risk/reward event!🐶 I want to break up the walk/fight-loop by packing the game with funny, puzzling, or unexpected moments like this. What kind of weird event or secret should I design next? Let me know your best ideas! 👇 #GameDev #ScreenshotSaturday

Just updated Die for the Rat King (my dice-based deckbuilding dungeon crawler) with a few new events, including a puppy to pet. At your own risk. Demo out now on Steam. #indiedev #gamedev #gaming

I finally got my dice deckbuilder dungeon-crawler playable in the browser! It's solo-developed, hand-drawn, and actively worked on with a release planned later this year. Go play Die for the Rat King on Itch and tell me what breaks! #indiedev #itchio #webgames

🎉Happy International Nerd Day to all who celebrate! 🎉 My nerd-year's resolution is to finish building my display case for all the cool finds I’ve picked up over the years. (Some Japan finds in photo) #GeekPrideDay #NerdCulture #RetroGaming #RetroGaming

Experiment: Can this tiny lemon tree, planted from a seed 17 years ago in Northern Sweden, get more likes and follows and generate more wishlists than posts about my indie game? Let's see who wins the algorithm. #IndieDev #SoloDev #Gamedev

As a programmer and game developer, AI has helped a lot with my art. But not by generating it. Instead, it motivated me to take up drawing and to appreciate all the flaws and non-generic weirdness that results from it. Something an AI never has. #gamedev #indiedev #digitalart #gamedevart

This is so cool. Another YouTube gameplay video of my game demo! I've done a lot of updates the last few days, but there is still so much to learn from someone playing it completely unguided. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Eeu... #indiedev #gaming #streamer

Seeing people I don't know play my game demo on Steam is the ultimate motivation boost. It’s a first for me and has fueled daily updates! Please try it out! If you have ideas or feedback, there’s a high chance they’ll make it into the next update. #GameDev #IndieGame #Godot

DIE FOR THE RAT KING demo is finally live! A hand-drawn dungeon crawler with dice, deckbuilding, and weirdness. After a lifetime of unfinished projects, this is the furthest I’ve taken one. Excited to get it into players’ hands and hear what you think.🎲🐀👑 #indiegame #deckbuilder #gaming #indiedev

I spent all my spare time on my dice-based deckbuilding dungeon crawler for 67 days. Demo release on Monday, and I realize I'll work on it until the last minute. You're welcome to join on Discord to try the current build & help out with feedback! #SoloDev #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGames #FollowFriday

I just shared the WIP demo of "Die for the Rat King" (was "Dungeon Roller") on my Discord server for the first time. If you want to be among the first to try it out, you're welcome to join: discord.gg/BarCMjN23y #IndieGame #GameDev #Playtest #IndieDev

Timelapse from earlier this week of me drawing the Rat King, who sends you on your mission to clear the dungeon. Next up: a new logo for the game, now that I’ve changed the name from "Dungeon Roller" to "Die for the Rat King". #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #gaming

Help! Another "Dungeon Roller"-game hit Steam. It's on mobile since before so it's fair, but I need a new name quick. I lean towards "Die for the Rat King". It's a dice-based deckbuilding dungeon crawler fighting for the Rat King. Feedback or alternatives appreciated! #Gaming #GameDev #Roguelike

New update for Capsule Art Studio is live! Steam Demo assets now show the overlay Steam adds to your art. Born out of frustration from getting my Dungeon Roller art rejected because the banner covered the logo. Now you can visualize it directly in the tool! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

So glad I shared my Steam page here! Thanks to your feedback, the SFX in the teaser should no longer cause tinnitus, and I’ve added new art to the page. I struggle with the description, it won't get much better with my lacking English skills. Any feedback is welcome! #indiedev #indiegame #gaming

Made a new teaser for Dungeon Roller and edited the description on Steam. My wife says she gets tinnitus from the sound effects, so I will fix that. 😂 What else do you think I need to look into on the page? (Also, please wishlist! 😊) #IndieDev #IndieGame #PCGaming

Dungeon Roller on Steam

Master the dual-deck system of dice and Ring Cards. Dungeon Roller is a roguelike deckbuilder where you manipulate probability to survive. Swap dice faces, trigger powerful combos, and forge your own ...

Just released Capsule Art Studio on Itch! 🚀 This tool was born out of frustration after wasting hours screwing up capsule art and social media assets. Demo with all features + paid $2.50 (-75%). Check it out and drop a comment. pixlas.itch.io/capsule-art-... #gamedev #indiedev #tools #steam

The Steam page for Dungeon Roller went up a week ago, and I just posted the first update! Counting on something between 0 and 0.5 readers, but you have to start somewhere. 😂 #gamedev #roguelike #indiegame #deckbuilder

Dungeon Roller - WIP Video: Attacked by a Mimic! - Steam News

Celebrating 1 week on Steam! Check out the Mimic from WIP development. May demo incoming!

Opening a chest can now go sideways with this new hand-drawn enemy! I also added some juice to the overkill VFX. Definitely inspired by Balatro, but I think it's still original enough not to end up a mimic myself. Wishlist on Steam🙏 (link in bio)! #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Which nearly forgotten or obscure game do you think should be resurrected in 2026? For me, it's Faxanadu. It's a bit clunky and rough, but has a vibe I still think of decades later. I’d throw myself over a chance to revisit the World Tree. #gamedev #gaming #retrogaming

I made a tool for creating (no AI) & organizing capsule art for storefronts. I've been procrastinating the release since December. Used it earlier this week and decided it's time! Forcing future me not to bail out with a public promise: it launches within a week! 🚀 #indiedev #gamedevtools #gamedev

Drew a mandatory Slime enemy for my "roguelike dungeon-crawler deckbuilder", Dungeon Roller. It looks harmless, but might be the last thing you see on your run. ✨Support me by wishlisting on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4519250/... #IndieDev #Roguelike #Deckbuilder

I’m a programmer by day, so drawing for my indie game is such a energizing break. I replaced the chest placeholders today. Obviously had to make a #Mimic too! Still learning #procreate. What do you think about it? Tips before I pour more hours in? #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #madewithprocreate #wip

My side project is live on Steam! I tend to overthink, slow down, and get stuck, but this time I gave myself one month to go public with whatever I had. It's so not normal me, but a great experience. Check it out and reward me with a wishlist if you see potential! #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #gaming
