Afterglow

Just overhauled the health UI in my game. Should look a bit more satisfying & tech-like now hopefully!

The Duelist profession, one of 4 combat professionals, allows you to engage in stylish sword combat with the enemy. Your blade can be energised with nanotech which adds bonus damage. The colour of the nanotech totally customisable of course.

Two pixelart characters facing each other in a fencing duel

Replaced my old sword animations with a new more dueling/fencing focused feel. Even the idle pose is cool. Will post a vid tomorrow.

#fencing #duel #indiegame #indiegames #gamedev #pixelart

Two characters in a pixelart 2d game. Once is half the size of the other representing an infact, by mistake. It should only apply to animals.

When you forget to to make 'baby' characters animal only 👀

Total vehicle customisation in 2D pixelart format. #unity #gamedev #indiegames #indiegame #pixelart

A little video on tile variation in my pixel-art RPG.

Which hover-bike are you buying? It's the black & teal for me. Lights & effects colour customisable. #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev #pixelart

Updated Ajax hover bike. Improved directional changes, added trail, sparks, and sound effects. All colour customisable. #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev #gaming #pixelart

Vehicles in Afterglow #gamedev #indiegame #devlog YouTube video by Afterglow

Just made a devlog on how I handle vehicles in my 2d game (spoiler, they're 3d models). #indiegame #gamedev #blender #gaming #screenshotsaturday

A collection of 6 single seated sci-fi hover vehicles in pixelart format. They differ only in colours.

A few more vehicle colour variants. In order to appease my rendering system your legs will have to be tucked into the back. I'm a fan of the blue/orange myself.

Thanks! I know, I'm excited to actually start programming that part.

A 3d model of a single seater futuristic like hover vehicle.

A sprite of a single seater futuristic like hover vehicle.

Afterglow is now big enough to require a vehicle, so here we are. Made in Blender then pixelated into a sprite. Sort of reminds me of wipeout? I need to add a lot more detail but it's a start.

Well I wondered when I should do it. And someone finally asked for it. So alas, a discord for Afterglow has been created. Feel free to join!

A Stock Exchange terminal for use in game. Hopefully it does look like a hologram at the top. 💷

Making High Fideility 2D Pixel Art Animations in Unity with Blender YouTube video by Afterglow

Just posted my first devlog on how I make rather good looking 2D animations & character customisation via Blender - if you're interested!

Looks pretty acid burny to me

To other indie/solo Devs: When did you set up a discord for your game? I know it's a vital step but I don't yet have a steam page and don't enjoy my own company quite enough to talk to myself. Not yet anyway. Although I suppose it's a good way to post/track progress?

#indiedev #indiegamedev

Decided to spend the week making a stock market 📈 in Afterglow. The market will be affected by certain events/actions in game.

Now I need to make sure it isn't a guaranteed way to speedrun yourself to a million credits. Made the music myself too.

#indiegamedev #indiedev #gamedev

What kind of sci-fi game would this be without an interactive stock exchange? (WIP)

#indiegamedev #gamedev #rpg #pcgaming #indiedev #stonks

Through nanites all sorts of recycling possibilities open up.

#indiedev #unity #indiegamedev #screenshotsaturday #pcgaming

That's a good idea. Invisible milestones are a weird one. Even if it's something you can show off, no one really knows the work that's gone into it but you. Good luck with whatever you're making.

Thanks :) happy new year!

A comparison of a year's progress in a pixel RPG indie game. It shows the inventory system as well as the world evolving from a fairly basic system to a more polished world.

It's easy to get a bit overwhelmed and lost as an indie/solo dev. Looking back at the work you've done genuinely helps, I recommend it. I spent a lot of 2025 thinking how I'm barely making progress - I think my brain lied.

Happy new year!

A character in a pixelart game wearing a santa hat as well as white tshirt, red trousers, and white boots. It shows off christmas!

Any other devs put in something especially for christmas? seemed appropriate. You'll have to ignore his rifle at the back.

An inventory system in a pixelart game showing off all the colour variations of items such as armour & weapons

I like how 🌈colourful my backpack looks. So glad I went with the system to be able to colour any item in any colour.

#indiedev #gamedev #gaming #rpg #indiegamedev

Rather happy with the outcome of this equipment switching animation & effect. It's nanomachines🤖, of course.

A pixelart quantum computer- specifically the dilution refrigerator part.

A quantum computer, sort of? I both like this and dislike it.

#pixelart #indiegamedev #indiedev #pcgaming

Pretty sure my irl cat had an existential crisis watching me animate this. And occasionally had a swipe at it 🐾🐈

#pixelart #blender #unity #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

He's fast.

It's a ginger pixelart cat.

One of the most important steps that any game developer ever makes. Adding a cat to the game.

Ginger because I too am ginger 🐈
