The flying demon elite is pesky to fight since I added a disengage mechanic, but still one of my favourite enemies 😍

My favourite part of game dev is by far making the rooms. You play around with tiles and enemy prefabs and everything comes alive in seconds πŸ™Œ

Damn man i just know making that trailer look that retro was harder than making it look AAA realistic xD

Prepping a new gameplay trailer for the Tiny Roguelikes event! πŸ™Œ

I was thinking of doing a gameplay only teaser with no cinematics for this one. Not really sure if these scenes are really eye-catching... πŸ€”

Been a while! πŸ’ͺ

Lots of stuff going on with designing and developing the polished demo for Echo: Defy Death but we're going through that boss door one step at a time!

How's the end of the year going for the rest of the #indiedev / #gamedev community? β™₯️

Starting work on secondary weapons polishing, for reference, this is my starting point. Let's see how much I can make them pop!! πŸ”₯

Considering the echolocation mechanic, it's going to be a chore πŸ˜‚

So we decided that the currency you use to gain upgrades will be the literal blood of your enemies πŸ˜…

Good choice? πŸ‘

Is it a 3D model for the protagonist or 2D? It looks amazing!

Spent last week mostly working on the Darkness Seal and Gift mechanic. πŸ’ͺ

Like a manifestation of the Darkness Demons power where he marks enemies in the dark and when activated you do a massive slash dealing tons of damage. It gets destroyed if it's revealed by echolocation though πŸ˜… #trailertuesday

Some background assets for the first tower, it's the bottom layer of the castle where the army resides. It has its training grounds, beds, and generally weapon racks with training dummies. Can't wait to lay them all out on the levels! 😍 #indegame

I totally forgot about airbrushes, thought everything should be done with brushes, thanks for reminding me o.O

Weapon rooms give you an awesome weapon, but you need to beat a ''Weapon master'' first, and that is well... a risk worth taking? How we feeling about this trade-off? #trailertuesday

My god, love to watch the painting process but always feel like I wouldn't have the patience for it... This looks amazing πŸ™Œ

Designing trap rooms is one of the most fun parts of level design for me. πŸ™Œ

Do you feel a little too happy when players get caught in traps you designed? #indiedev

Love seeing the evolution of our echolocation shader. 😍

Figuring out how to make the area revealing feel like it's sound rather than light was and still is a very fun process!

The game is Echo: Defy Death btw, you can wishlist it on Steam to support us!πŸ™Œ #TrailerTuesday
