An indie game studio that's just getting started. We have a few small complete projects, and some big things in the works.

It's been a year now since our first complete project, made in one week for a game jam. Like Gradius style shmups or Survivors style roguelikes? Take 15 minutes and give it a try!

Here's our progress on the Godot Wild Jam so far. The theme of the jam is "Momentum"

There's still plenty to be done in the next couple days, but given the whole team has a lot less free time this time around, we're all happy with how it's coming together

Here's some footage of what we got done on our first full day of work on the game jam 🙏
The goblin is a placeholder, and soon will be replaced by a way cooler goblin on a hoverboard 😎
Sfx and 3D models are all original, and coming together nicely so far

We've been feeling the burnout start to creep in, so we've decided to take a cue from @doublefine.com and pause work on our current project to participate in a game jam

We chose this month's Godot Wild Jam which goes from today til the 21st, and are hard at work on our concept and design doc

When I started working on Apogee, there were plans for a combat system, but I toned it down with time.

However, as I play similar games for research and the more I develop, the more I feel a need to return back to that combat...

Finally putting the finishing touches on the boring backend refactoring and the redesigned level up system, which means soon we can start work on some exciting new content to show off 🎉

Look forward to new spells and items, sprite redesigns, and new playable characters 👀

Currently we're working on our game jam game Hail of Hexes and hoping we can expand it into a full release. Since I'm doing that fun backend work where many productive hours result in nothing being visibly different, here's an early concept of our new art style:

We were asked whether you can create Porco's plane in Lou's Lagoon and I guess the answer is "kinda"? 😅✈️😄

Will you try and recreate famous planes from games and movies, or create your very own seaplane? ☺️🎮✈️

Top down RPGs often lack the feeling of depth, so today I spent all day sketching in random vistas on my map layouts.

Attention Indie Devs!

I just need 15 seconds ... of your game footage! A lot of people jumped on the 15s video trend, so I thought it would be cool to make a compilation to help indies get some visibility.

I’ve added stamina perks to my dark fantasy game, Crimson Rest. They let you run faster and even stop consuming stamina entirely. What other perks should I add?
