Exploring a spooky dungeon and found some new friends. I wonder if they can point a way out? 💀

Accidentally put the wrong face in the dialogue, but it might actually be better this way... Cuddling is some serious business, after all! #gamedev #datingsim #cozygames
Picture of a dialogue screen from a game. One female character with a serious face says, "I want to love you", and the other one says, very angrily, "Good! Can we start cuddling now?"

More monsters for spooky season! This stone golem is a vicious guard and protector. You don't want to get too close or stare into its eyes for too long...

Taking a moment to explore the countryside. This is a very safe and relaxing area - no giant rats or other creepy monsters in sight! The perfect place for a relaxing walk and perhaps a bit of foraging. 🌻 #indiegames #cozygames #pixelart

Daughter of Crone will be featured during Finnish Games Week 2025! 💙

The event runs from October 6th to October 12th. Head over to Steam next week to enjoy the discounts and demos, and to support Finnish indie game development! #finnishgameweek #fgw25 #fgwsteam25
A poster for Finnish Game Week 2025, featuring the event's official logo and graphics and the banner of one of the participating games: Daughter of Crone. In the banner is the main character of the game. She is a young woman in a blue dress and a red hood. She has pale skin, brown hair done in two braids, a scar on the right side of her face, and she is wielding a magical staff with a glowing blue gemstone on it.

Apparently, somewhere far in the west from us, it is National Ghost Hunting Day (who invents all these holidays?)! Ghosts and other spooky creatures will be among the many monsters you can fight in our game.
What is your favourite spooky monster?

Every cozy game needs a cozy little torture chamber...
Wait, what?

Process of making the CGs (Are we allowed to call them CGs if the game is not a visual novel?) for our game: First comes the sketch, then the flat colour, then shading, and last... Sparkles! Or a bit more animation, depending on the scene. #screenshotsaturday #indiegames #art

Question! If you had to pick just one of these humble abodes from Daughter of Crone as your home, which one would it be?

Some characters are just easier to write than others, and Tsundere Snufkin here is a bit of a challenge... I hope the players will love her anyway. Or at least love to hate her. #indiegames #meme #writing

Hei ja hyvää Toivelistatorstaita! Mikä on Toivelistatorstai? Se on semmoinen hauska juttu, että me laitetaan linkki meidän peliin ja te laitatte sen toivelistalle. Jos siis tykkäätte peleistä, joissa on noituutta, romantiikkaa ja muuta sellaista. Ei oo pakko.

In our indie game, you can get a cute, green muscle mommy gf who will give you uppies (that's not a euphemism, Collective Shout can chill the f out) or rip you to shreds (that's also not a euphemism)!
...
(...Or is it? 👀)

Getting your players lost in your world is a great way to add playtime, but they might get a bit mad if they can't get unlost... So, we're gonna add maps. #screenshotsaturday #indiegames #pixelart

I often do make a few rough concept sketches before starting the final sprite (attaching the sketches below, if you're interested). Making sprites doesn't always go smoothly, but having a clear idea helps a lot.

The world is kind of overwhelming right now. Sometimes, you just want to disappear into a cool, dark, slightly damp place... Like some weird mushroom person. Spread some spores around and stuff. Live the good life, you know?

Alright, the concept sketches aren't too great yet, but... Could this be a cool, low-level enemy? It's going to be called 'Rotling' or maybe 'Lahottaja', 'Laholatva' or 'Lahokas'. It's just a little mushroom guy that stinks and makes things rot.

We're currently hammering away at narrative content and doing some playability improvements for Daughter of Crone. It pretty much sounds like this times fifty at our home office.

Since it's Throwback Thursday, here are some very early sketches and sprites for the main character in Daughter of Crone. We tried a few different sizes and colour palettes before landing on the final design.

Our new demo has some interesting dialogue options for the NPCS. You can access the more casual conversation topics after you've done their personal quests. Go and compliment Rolffe on his beard! #screenshotsaturday #indiegames #pixelart
