Happy Mermaid Mask launch day to all who celebrate 🧜‍♀️ If you’d like a sneak peek behind the Detective Grimoire series, I had the opportunity to sit down with @sfbdim.bsky.social, @sfbtom.bsky.social, and @catherineunger.bsky.social back in 2022 for my podcast Memory Card. It’s one of my favorites!

One of the most rewarding art challenges we took on in The Mermaid Mask was to make all the clues fully 3D. @catherineunger.bsky.social would paint the 2D image as always, and then @kindradantone.bsky.social modelled and painted a 3D model to match it exactly - and the results were quite incredible-

Like Tangle Tower before it, the characters in The Mermaid Mask all have 'chibis' that are used on the map screen, diagrams, etc. But since I learned some rudimentary 3D modelling during Crow Country, I was also able to make 3D versions of the chibis, which ended up being incredibly useful...

NEW: It finally happened, a 10/10 from Geoffrey. The Mermaid Mask is a deft and delightful murder mystery that sets a marker for how a game should be voice acted (with special mention for @amberleeconnors.bsky.social and @edwyntiong.com) and how good point-and-click games can, and should, be.

The Mermaid Mask Review - The Wand Report

The Mermaid Mask slots itself into the pantheon of detective fiction with a deft, compelling, and delightful murder mystery.

Bad Magpie Key Art with an Indie Arena Booth 2026 border around it.

The Bad Magpie Key art is the magpie in the centre of the image holding a flaming log with a trail of destruction and burning flowers behind her and crying mice running away from here. Peeking over the horizon behind her is a large glowing star. It says "BAD MAGPIE" in the centre of the image.

The Indie Arena Booth border is pink and blue and says "Democratree, Games for Everyone" and "Indie Arena Booth 2026, 26 - 30 August. INDIEARENABOOTH.DE." There are cute illustrations of people and animals around the border too.

the eyes update every frame and i'll always try to have one in the normal place based on which side is facing the camera, and then the other one just floats offset from it, based on the camera's look rotation. dumb but it works

As a 3D Artist for Bad Magpie, I decided to make a playdough version with help from my little chef! I think this Magpie maybe met his match as he came to a chaotic end... 🐦🧑‍🍳 #BadMagpie #IndieDev #IndieGame @milktooth.bsky.social
