Ok, first post, so let’s make it count! After 3 years of pouring our hearts into it, my brother, two of our friends, and I have finally released HeistGeist—a cyberpunk RPG with card battles, hacking, evil megacorps, sneaky heists, and—most importantly—friendship! Be sure to check it out. It’s fun!

This year I’m taking on the #Inktober challenge again after a four-year break. I’m turning every prompt into a little tribute to one of my favorite video games. I didn’t realize how rusty I’d gotten after years of drawing only digitally. I feel less confident and a lot more stressed than I expected.

Digging through old files made me try this meme trend. Very first prototype from 2021 vs. the 2024 release. Surprising how much stuff survived until the very end. #indiedev #gamedev

Five years back, our friends from Attu Games ported our first game to Switch, which basically saved our little game studio after a failed Steam release. Thanks to that, today, we’re dropping our second game - HeistGeist, on Switch. This time self-published. Pretty badass! #indiegame #indiedev

I imagined the Chatsubo in 1984. 41 years later I opened its door. Neuromancer is in production.

Sometimes you need to soak up vibes and inspiration from the masters. I really enjoy browsing art books (I have a solid collection), checking out the designs, exploring different versions, and diving into the thought process behind the final decisions. #gamedev #art

Infiltrate the top-secret stealth Vortex battleship corvette right in the middle of the storm. Get in, get out—piece of cake. #indiedev #gamedev #art

Blood will be Spilled was filled with little Easter eggs and references to Westerns we love—some legendary, others more obscure. After all, these are the stories that inspired us to create the game in the first place. #indiedev #gamedev #art

The Механика refinery was based—though heavily exaggerated—on a real refinery in our city. For a few nights each year, its flames light up the sky in blazing orange. It felt like the perfect metaphor for a little personal hell. #indiedev #gamedev #art

In Blood will be Spilled, we had a crazy-powerful, legendary custom LeMat revolver called El Dorado. According to legend, it was disassembled and its parts were scattered and hidden across six different levels around the world. #indiedev #gamedev #art

The Danube River plays a major role in our game—so of course we put a huge gang-run port right in the middle of the city. As a bonus touch of dystopia, it’s built on the site of one of the oldest city parks in Europe. #indiedev #gamedev #art

The first heist in our game takes place in a building based on a lesser-known structure in our city. It has a distinctive silhouette, a dynamic shape, and serves as a visual metaphor for taking first steps up. I miss the days when corporate buildings weren’t just glass boxes. #indiedev #gamedev #art
