who needs a kalashnikov when you have magic? at first, i wanted to put baba yaga in the bestiary of my ttrpg, but i just rly want to play an evil babushka, so it ended up as a class ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #ttrpg #lore

there are some "logical" reasons as to why i decided to first make a ttrpg zine before finishing my video game. but honestly, mostly i do it just bcs it's fun and kinda a dream 🤷‍♂️ #ttrpg #zine

abyss @abyss-being.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

if making a game with no experience isn't hard enough, i've decided to also create a ttrpg zine as part of my solo gamedev journey #ttrpg #zine youtu.be/UIBOqtL4ZO8

am i just using any excuse i can to work more on worldbuilding bcs it's so fun? probably (yes 100%), but i also truly believe u need a comprehensive world to make a good (or at least decent) rpg #gamedev #worldbuilding

i fell into one of the beginner pixel art traps... overdoing your textures, which just makes it look messy. luckily, i did catch myself while making this asset, so it was a good learning experience #pixelart #gamedev

working on games is an emotional rollercoaster... i spent hours writing a dialog to find out that RPGMaker limits the length of responses A LOT 🫠 luckily, the community is amazing and i found a free plugin to save me - shout-out to Galv's Scripts #gamedev #rpgmaker

Here's the last faction of my game, pagans. The only one not tied to any political views and unique to each nation. Nevertheless, hunted down as heretics in the West and East alike. Unlike the other main powers, their magic and monsters are real. #worldbuilding #gamedev #rpg

abyss @abyss-being.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

alright, it’s time to dive a bit deeper into the lore of my alt-1960s rpg. worldbuilding is honestly my favorite part of making a game, so this is just a small preview of what's to come youtu.be/r_euCMTl6CQ

another day, another character placeholder. this time a generic npc 🙍‍♂️ idk if it's just me, but i can't stop moving things around when i draw... it took me waaay too many tries, but it's just fun #pixelart #gamedev

3/4 top down. Most of the tutorials are for isometric and side view. If they r for top-down, then it's usually for very retro style, 8bit etc or classic jrpg, which is not the style I'm going for

abyss @abyss-being.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

Thanks! It was actually lots of fun working on it, but there is soooo much to learn in pixel art. Especially that the perspective I need for my game is not the most common one for tutorials 🫠

abyss @abyss-being.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

my first ever pixel art priest of the Communist Orthodox Church, still needs work, but it will do as a placeholder for my game for now #pixelart #gamedev

What if the Soviet Union was a religious theocracy? That's what I'm going for in my game #worldbuilding #lore #gamedev

abyss @abyss-being.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

Honestly, the most fun part of making a game is worldbuilding. Idk why, bcs it's not even escapism, since I'm trying to make a somehow more f'ed up world than the one we live in, but there is something about it that completely consumes me. Anyway, here's the first faction #worldbuilding #gamedev

abyss @abyss-being.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

Thanks! I plan to release regular devlogs to show how it's going

I got laid off, took one look at LinkedIn, and wanted to bleach my eyeballs. So instead, I decided to spend my savings to make a game (with no experience) to stay sane. A grim RPG set in an althistory 60s where religion and political ideology fully merged into one. #gamedev #techlayoffs #indie
