Early concept art of Nanuka. From when we were playing around with ideas, to a more serious look, and then the transformation into her happy, cartoony style! #IndieGames #IndieDevs #Gamedev #conceptart

concept art of Nanuka in her early stages of development. The sketches are different looks we had for Nanuka. With some expressions too.

A little sneak peak on Nanuka's design. We went through a few big design changes from the prototype and MANY different clothing choices for her before we settled on the white gi. Which of Nanuka's early outfits are your favorite? #pixelart #IndieGames #IndieDevs #Gamedev #conceptart

Pixel art of Nanuka, showing off her early designs and underneath, there are many different outfits that we considered for Nanuka to wear.

FULL VOID. A beautifully presented, emotive story about a child fighting back against an AI-dominated dystopia. Designed as an homage to classics like Flashback, Full Void is filled with lovely pixel art and atmospheric Amiga-inspired music. evercade.co.uk/cartridges/f... 96/365 #365games

Key art for Full Void, depicting the nameless, agender protagonist and their floating mechanical companion, while an AI-controlled dog-like creature searches for them in the background.

Screenshot from Full Void. The protagonist stands before a wall with a low opening in it, beyond which lies a terminal they can interact with. The terminal is connected to something off-screen.

Screenshot from Full Void. The protagonist stands beneath a streetlight at night, looking at a steel fence with a hole in it. The scene is bathed in an eerie violet tint.

Box art for the Evercade release of Full Void, our first single-game cartridge.
