I haven't written anything in a long time. This year has been an incredible challenge. Fortunately, things should calm down a bit now. The English version of Alveron is currently being tested, and we expect the game to be released in the first quarter of 2026. #gamedev #rpgmakermv #indiegame #jrpg

Why do we create games? It's love! Simple as that. Because it makes us happy to be creative! We love to tell our stories. We love to bring our characters to life. Not more or less.

While "Alveron - Withering Roots" is still on hold, we’re diving into its sequel: We're proud to reveal the true name of Project Void: Alveron II – Vanishing Roots Development has officially begun! Stay tuned for magic, mystery & more. #IndieGameDev #RPGMakerMZ #Alveron #FantasyGame #WIP #Art

This weekend we started working on tilesets! Not all tiles on this screen have been replaced yet. In general, we are following the colorful Alveron style, but we are also using the tiles from RPGMaker XP as a reference. A lot of work has gone into it so far! #gamedev #rpgmakermz #indiegame

Gamedev Update Mai 2025

The HUD is slowly taking shape. Here, I can at least show you that the buttons you need to use for control are displayed. However, the display of the buttons is still a work in progress. #gamedev #indiedev #rpgmakermz

CupHogGames @cuphoggames.bsky.social · 26/05/2025

We have added a HeightMap to the game using RegionIDs. This is then generated automatically. This ensures that projectiles that you fire stay on the level from which you fired them and don't suddenly fly over mountains and set everything on fire or something like that! #gamedev #indiegame #rpgmaker

CupHogGames @cuphoggames.bsky.social · 25/05/2025

After the OnMapGameplay we have given the HUD a small update. If you walk behind the HUD, it becomes transparent at this point. A small but nice quality of life change #gamedev #indiegame #rpgmakermz

CupHogGames @cuphoggames.bsky.social · 18/05/2025

Many features have been added to the game this weekend. The basis for on-map gameplay as well as height maps and skill selection on the map. Imagine you're playing with a controller. L1 and R1 allow you to switch through the skills and L2 and R2 the leader of the group. #gamedev #indiegame #rpgmaker

Do you want to slaughter some NPCs? Unfortunately that's not possible. But this test Chan is enough for me to play the punching bag. You'll be able to beat away bushes or use other skills on the map. Despite a turn-based combat system °A°" #gamedev #indiegame #rpgmakermz

CupHogGames @cuphoggames.bsky.social · 11/05/2025

As part of the new HUD, the stamina bar is now also in the game. It is only visible when it is not full. You also regenerate your stamina faster when you stop, even when you are exhausted. www.youtube.com/shorts/DdG9K... #gamedev #rpgmakermz #gameplay #indiedev

Since we are now redoing some things, I am also redoing the “On_Map_HUD”. Some elements will be added. But at the end of the day, it's going in the right direction. #gamedev #indiegame #rpgmakermz

Sometimes you have to take a step back to get ahead. We have partially discarded our progress for Project Void and are now using a different collision system. It won't be ours anymore, but what the heck... We'll do our best anyway! #gamedev #indiegame #rpgmakermz

Happy 25th Anniversary to The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask!! One of my favourite games of all time #zelda #art

A drawing of Link from the Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask running towards the right of the screen and looking up at Majora floating in the top right with Tatl following behind Link. There is a circle with drawings of Clock Town, Ikana Canyon, Great Bay, Southern Swamp and Mountain Village behind him with one of the banners from clocktown stretching to the left of the screen. The colour balance is slightly skewed orange and purple on Link himself and he is holding the Fierce Deity Mask in his hand.

We have been working on the battle system over the last few weeks. There is a new CTB bar. Your actions change the next turn cycle. The design is of course not finished and all graphics are wildly scaled. It's more to show that we will have turn-based battles on the map! #gamedev #rpgmakermz #jrpg

#ocsky Even when you are a fairy who specializes in flowers you need to stop and enjoy the ephemeral beauty of spring. it's been a min since i've drawn my girl Ciella but I really do love drawing her and I hope you enjoy!! #art #oc #fairy

A fullbody picture of my OC Ciella, she has her hands catching some of the cherry blossoms flying through the air and her wings are tinged pink with the advent of spring. some cherry blossoms also a sprouting behind her ears, something that can happen when she is very happy.

If you're following game devs and in-development projects, leaving a little message or a word of encouragement once in a while goes a longer way than you'd think. Sharing that warmth and excitement with our audience, even on a smaller scale, is what gets a lot of us going!
