i dont do mecha often cause they're annoying to animate but mech design is still pretty fun

a discord message reading "it is absolutely imperative that players want to fuck the UI

During development, it's very important to have your priorities straight.

So look man if we're just gonna be online here watching all these big studios come out and lay down on the tracks about Gen AI going "I have to do this for some reason." then I think it's more important than ever to celebrate games from based devs who are out here openly posting "Nuh uh, fuck that."

生成AIは本当に百害あって一利も無い。「新しいから」「みんな使ってるから」「楽できるから」というだけで触っていい代物じゃない。いくらなんでも悪影響を及ぼす範囲が広すぎる。

crystal is 100% that character with the swirly glasses ❤

A visual novel style portrait of a brunette girl in a labcoat. She sports a long ponytail, thick glasses, and a lanyard. She looks quite friendly!

Finalized character portrait for Crystal. Plenty enough to do some fun dialogue tests. All thanks to @tg-marlo.bsky.social !

Honestly, I get it. There's that persistent anxiety that if we show something that isn't *perfect,* then that misstep will be someone's first impression, and then they'll get turned off of your work forever. >.<

Anyway - I post WIP assets and sneak peaks on our Ko-fi. I'd really appreciate any help you can spare. ❤️

A screenshot of Team Lilypunk's Ko-fi for funding a trailer for Heavensfall. The progress bar reads as 52 percent, out of a goal of 3000 euros.

Don't let anyone ever tell you that Game Dev isn't a rough ride. But we're doing it. One step at a time. And we couldn't do it without you.

Definitely worth a repost. More art on the way for sure, though. c:

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games!

Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI.

You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:-

Two character reference images on a grey background. The one on the left is labelled "Crystal Saint-Claire, Chief Engineer, Mechanical Service Bottom." She wears a white labcoat, glasses, and sandals. Her eyes are blue, and her hair is a bright auburn ponytail. On the right is "Yurushi, ANGEL Unit 0, Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girl Bot." Yurushi is a visibly robotic girl with white and bronze armor plating from the neck down. Her face is more human, with green eyes and light blonde hair. There is a curving strand of her hair that resembles a halo.

Our first two characters, courtesy of @tg-marlo.bsky.social ! These two are inseparable - a prototype robot girl and her maintenance engineer/best friend - which is good because #Heavensfall is as much about relationships as it is about giant robots. #indiedev #mecha #yuri #digitalart #robotgirl

Wishing everyone a highly productive and inspiring day ahead 🥰

でがらしさんは私よりもずっと多くの美術経験をお持ちなので、でがらしさんの判断を信頼しています。 :)

Oh, uh, whoops! I exported with GIMP instead of ClipStudio out of habit, and some of the colors got messed up. @.@ I didn't even notice until Degarashi pointed it out. Here's the more accurate version, sorry about that!

A digital drawing of a robot girl character, with full shading and detailing, in visual novel styling.

This'll be the finalized character portrait for Yurushi. We're very lucky to have @tg-marlo.bsky.social, that's for sure - she turned out perfectly. <3

Hi, here is another illustration I made.

"On April 6th, 2099, the Hypnos [REDACTED] onboard security reported a catastrophic breach at 0013 hours, Coalition Standard Time. The vessel's local security measures, including [REDACTED] Task Force [REDACTED] were activated immediately by automated protocols. [REDACTED] reported contact with a rogue Strider aboard Hypnos at 0019, and engaged them immediately. Data recovered from the flight recorder units aboard each member of the security team's Striders shows multiple catastrophic system failures occurring over the course of approximately five minutes. At 0022, Hypnos' [REDACTED] reported a severe data breach. [REDACTED] members of [REDACTED] identified an additional rogue Strider at roughly the same time." "Hypnos' [REDACTED] independently verified and declared CONDITION NINE: RED RIGHT HAND, and [REDACTED] before its connection was terminated by unknown means. Six hours later, the Hypnos vessel broke apart and crashed into several regions of the Pacific Ocean." "The sensitive nature of the Hypnos vessel's onboard data and technology necessitated that the [REDACTED] had no means to request additional backup units for dispatch. All members of [REDACTED] are considered [REDACTED], and are to be recommended for full [REDACTED] honors." "On April 8th, 2099, two Strider units were reported missing from a [REDACTED] shipment, bound for the Van de Graaf crater." "Two persons of interest have been identified following investigation by CSTF [REDACTED]: Madeline "Lamb" Burke and Elijah Collins. Both are experienced Strider pilots whose whereabouts are unaccounted for as early as April 2nd, 2099."

...

Huh. This shouldn't be here. We'll just throw this one away, you don't have to worry about it. :)

Character design is hard

A cyberpunk Tactical Mecha RPG with a character driven narrative focus - so pretty much exactly what I'm working on now. :))) bsky.app/profile/team...

And apparently the only guy on the squad is Major Leon Sharpe. Think of him as a handler, making sure Yurushi doesn't try any of that GLaDOS funny business. Probably just a big softie once you get to know him. :) #art #digitalart #mecha #indiedev #gamedev #Heavensfall

Next Bond character is Lunaire, a fresh ensign assigned to Machina squadron. She's the team point man, and she's got some shit to work out. Oh - since I kinda skipped last week, I'll give you guys two art posts today. Keep it fair. :3 #art #yuri #digitalart #mecha #indiedev #gamedev #Heavensfall

I'm currently running a public online playtest for Drift Shell on my discord!

Grab the latest test build of the game from the dev-update channel and you can make a mech of your own to fight online with!
