It's been about 4 months since I last posted here. After releasing RelicWar - my first game. I needed a real break, and I took one. No dev-brain, no roadmaps, just recovering. Now I'm easing back in, kicking around a few new concepts. Thanks for still being here. 🙏 #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Update for Feb. A basic tutorial has been completed. Still needs more work but also added a nice feature to mark traps you placed, so you don't step on your own traps! 😅 Shoutout to the in person player that suggested it! 💯 #indiegame #RPG #TurnBased #indiedev #gamedev

Happy (belated) New Year! I've a rough plan for 2026. I want to finish the RelicWar tutorial by March and spend the rest of the year making silly little games and prototypes end to end. (graphics, sfx, music etc) #indiegame #RPG #TurnBased #indiedev #gamedev

To the detriment of my own sanity I decided to have a go at building an interactive tutorial for RelicWar. I think it's one shortfall that bugs me about my game and it would be nice to have this much requested feature. #indiegame #RPG #TurnBased #indiedev #gamedev

It's been a while guys. I've mostly been trying to just enjoy normal life again without the added pressure of game dev. Finally I got around to writing a retrospective on my games development. Hope it helps! violentcandlestudios.itch.io/relic-war/de... #indiegame #RPG #TurnBased #indiedev #gamedev

5 years in retrospect

Just a heads up. This individual is using a Curator page to pretend all the games listed have been translated by them. I only reached out to one person to verify and it proved the false claim. Please report this page, as it's being used to scam other indie devs via Discord. #indiedevs #indiegamedev

Steam Curator: Sunny Daisy

Hi, my name is Daisy and I help indie companies localize games into Portuguese, Spanish and Simplified Chinese.

I've rebranded my Discord a bit to be less specific. Now it's setup so I can have all my game feedback and chat in there. No longer limited to just RelicWar itself. I do have some future planned titles. 🙂 discord.com/invite/Bm4aw... #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #discord

Last night was crazy. I typed over 3600 words to finish out my college assignment. Just so I could allow myself to buy Battlefield 6. Gaming is a great motivator! 🤣 #gaming #battlefield

I've been pretty quiet on here lately. I'm still here and still love game dev but I've taken some time to reflect and relax after release. Slowly releasing some updates but life has gotten so busy! 👀 store.steampowered.com/news/app/164... #newrelease #indiegame #RPG #TurnBased #indiedev #gamedev

Lil update on my gaming. MechWarrior 5: Clans Ghost Bear has been deleted. I'm sorry but 1980s style bosses have ruined the game for me. Especially when the difficulty of the game in story mode is already crazy. I've gotten unstuck on FF Rebirth but also back to mini game hell. 🫠 #gaming #gamers

My sofa gaming has turned into a brick wall. Enjoying Final Fantasy Rebirth until a boss with a crazy difficulty spike. Moved onto MechWarrior 5:Clans which I was enjoying until missions on "Story mode" became unbearable with difficulty. What is up with this?! 🤦 #games #gaming #gamers #soulslike

Not certain if I will be building more large scale games after release of "RelicWar" but I'm having fun building out some new tech which I can use for my future games. Controller support from the start is a priority this time. 🕹️ #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #JRPG #RPG
