There's also a plethora of non-Homebrew indie games shown off there such as, IVOR a Norse-inspired, Arena Shooter by @moonmuse.bsky.social. Shooter's aren't my bag, but it felt good to run around and strafe, so check it out if you hunger for more boomshoots.

IVOR on Steam

A blood-pumping throwback FPS set in a Norse-inspired world. The undead have risen and Ivor, the Drengr, has awakened. Take up your axes, load your shotgun, and get to killing.

We've been gearing up for a show at Midwest Gaming Classic, but that doesn't mean we haven't also been cooking some beautiful environments to drool over

MoonMuse Entertainment @moonmuse.bsky.social · Mar 22

It's a cold and dreary day on this ancient island. The winds of a frigid sea rip over a castle that stands stalwart against the briny gale. There isn't a living soul inside for it to protect, but it holds fast.

#ScreenshotSaturday #IndieGameDev #GameDev #Unity3d #Unity #IVOR #BoomerShooter

The sun barely pierces through thick fog, casting harsh shadows over a ruined cobblestone path.

Gravemarkers sits precariously at the edge of a cliff. A large castle wall with green banners shadows the area.

A mixture of cobbled stones, Versailles tiles, and harsh, angular metal create a rectangular room. Skulls sit in a columbarium in the corner, illuminated by a bright torch.

The dingy insides of a castle. Some wooden platforms sit overhead, and strange purple crystals can be seen behind a portcullis.
