We made a Boss! It is alive and kicking, maybe even too much? We managed to beat it ourselves… sometimes 😅but instead of toning it down, we decided to let you try! Join our alpha testing in our discord:

We are making the finished touches to the first Boss fight of our game! Honestly it feels so exciting. It's hard to beat but not impossible, and closes the game loop perfectly giving purpose to all the previous levels. From next week you can test it too on our discord!

We have a tutorial for our demo! We know tutorial levels should be done last, but we hope a small and quick level will go a long way to teach new players all the basics. Of course we'll revisit it once the game is finished. Someone else used this approach?

In our 2D roguelike you are on an alien planet, fighiting enemies and the environment. But we had a problem: if you have no rush to explore, than there is no tension. That's where the Swarm came in! Now there is a clock ticking. Stand your ground or move fast, either way you'll need to deal with it.

We have procedurally generated levels! 😁It might be a standard for roguelikes nowadays, but it's still extremely satisfying to see a code made in-house translating noise to a map.

Granades are a core part of our game: not only they do a lot of damage, but they break terrain and walls. We spent quite some time for the animation, do you like the effect? Now the next big question is.. should they do friendly fire? How much chaos is enough chaos? 😈

Just a small scene from our second level. Granades are a key part of the game. Use them to either kill enemies or pave your way through walls and create your path, or both at the same time! Does this remind you of another game? It is one of our biggest inspirations.. 👀

ARNIE is online on Steam, and this is our Trailer! We debated a lot if to use a retro-futuristic theme for the titles or go full pixel art. Do you agree with our decision? After all, we believe the more exiting part is the gameplay anyway! 🚀 #trailertuesday #gamedev #indiegame #videogame #pixelart

Some environments from our upcoming game. We took the time to create a lot of small assets to make the levels feel different and unique. Was it worth it? Any details you would add? Oh, and a different tile-set for every level of course!

Shooting hordes of enemies is one of the cores of our game. And what better than a gatling gun to show it off! Does this look satisfying to you? Would you like even bigger numbers? Or other kinds of visual feedbacks? Let us know! #gamedev #indiedev #FeedbackFriday #pixelart

It's Boss time! How does it look for you? Also, for all the dev out there, have you ever tried the animation of a boss before fully testing the moveset? Or do you always use a blockout first? We could't wait to see it moving! (Also, we needed something to show in the trailer 😅) #indiedev #gamedev
