Can you spot the boss battles? 👀 Strategy comes in handy when you’re faced with foes, but adapting to the different types of enemies that lie ahead puts your strategy to the test. Especially when the clock is ticking and every move counts 🗡️ #indiegame

Recognise this frame from our trailer? Here is its final concept versus one of its early drafts!

Our main character, Upu, stands fore to mid ground with its back to the viewer. Upu is holding a sword, its brown cape is slightly blowing in the wind. It’s looking at a robotic enemy in the background. The enemy is standing as if it’s ready for battle.

Same as the previous image only this is the black and white (grey) sketch of the previous image. It shows the rough concept of the final frame.

A small enemy with a grand journey throughout our game’s development! Getting the feel and feedback just right can depend on seemingly tiny details like color and movements denoting behaviour. But game dev is filled with tiny details, especially the ones that make the biggest impact. #indiegame

Feather’s Edge by Clockwork Acorn @clockworkacorn.com · 11/05/2026

From September 2025 to May 2026, one of our game’s enemies has had a lot of attention. Would you be interested in a more in depth video of this enemy’s WIP? The character design reveal is the most striking, but there were a ton of refinements to its movement and physics! #indiegame

Feather’s Edge by Clockwork Acorn @clockworkacorn.com · 08/05/2026

Could you help us find a better name for this enemy? 😂 Our devs internally named it “The Block Slam” which is pretty fitting for how it looks and what it does, BUT there’s definitely a better name out there for this crustacean-like critter! What would you name it? #indiegame

Our game’s environments evoke all kinds of fantastical feelings! Our art department has poured a lot of heart and soul into the world’s atmosphere and it’s really coming to together 🩵 #indiegame

May the Fourth be with you! Speaking of forces, here are some of the abilities in our game that allow you to bend movement and combat at your will (and wit) This is an “air bounce” ability we’ve worked on. When activating it, change the direction of your jump mid-air. #indiegame

A peak at some of our environmental art within our game’s world! We’re showing off some WIP on another region at the end, can you guess what the region is based off the artwork? #gameart #indiegame

Thank you to 10,000 early birds who wishlisted our game! We could not be more grateful and excited for achieving such a massive milestone in such a short amount of time!

Our key art with “We hit 10k wishlists” text over it. Our key art shows Upu, our Hoopoe bird warrior dressed in its brown cloak and holding a small kunai in one hand, sword in the other. Upu is looking back at any enemy in the background.

Amidst the hype for our new game, we'd like to remind you to "Just make it exist first. You can make it good later." We're less than 24 hours away from the worldwide premiere of our new game in the Indie Live Expo showcase! The second image is a sneak peak of what's to come! #indiegame

Screenshot of our prototype. It’s a square box filled with basic shapes that represent the player, map obstacles, and enemies.

A screenshot of the current state of the game. A fully detailed background showing the lava region of the game. Our bird character is fully drawn and animated - a Hoopoe bird ninja. It’s fighting against two enemies, a worm like enemy and an enemy that shoots out projectiles from the middle of the screen.
