Here's how I make characters for our game!⭐️ I'm the only 3D artist between the two of us and can't afford to make all characters individually. So I make everyone unique by deforming bones and giving them some clothes :-) #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieDev #godot #roguelike #tennisgame

Have worked on some nice arena visuals recently. It's for My Tennis Apocalypse, the game we've described as a mix of The Binding of Isaac and Mario Tennis!! #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieDev #indiegames #roguelike #sportgame

I wanted to share the story of how our development started, and what kinds of silly mistakes we originally made. This is a bit of an excercise in vulnerability, I guess :') I'd love to hear what you think🙏⭐️ youtu.be/WvsIk_nHwUE #GameDev #indiegames #IndieDev #devlog #tennisgames

we're doing power up visuals for our explosive tennis game!!! all of these wearable items have their own effects on the field🎾⭐️ it's kind of hard to design wearables for a bean-shaped boy though...😭 #IndieDev #indiegames #GameDev #roguelikes #videogames

you might think that making a tennis enemy ai was easy, but it gets really complicated whan you want them to actually predict the ball's movement. it's pretty cool to see it visualized like this!⭐️ #indiegames #IndieDev #roguelike #GameDev #videogames

Dappal @dappal-interactive.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

here's a quick character concept that i used to make a new character into our game... just for godot to crash right after i was done :'D but oh well i guess i'll make this guy tomorrow again. (we use a base mesh and deform bones in engine!) #digitalart #conceptart #indiedev #indiegames

added in a pvp mode!⭐️ before this update, we could just play in singleplayer. but as this is tennis and there's a lot of mindgames that really make things interesting, playing with a friend opens a whole new dimension!! steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4238490 #indiegames #gamedev #indiedev

The old vs. the new lounge area! This is a space where you get to take a break from the (explosive) tennis matches, get tips/items from NPCs or buy stuff from a kiosk. So: the lounge has to feel alive, and taking breaks need to feel great⭐️ #ScreenshotSaturday #indiegame #gamedev #gameenvironment

Dappal @dappal-interactive.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

The background scene for our game My Tennis Apocalypse! That tower right there is where all the explosive tennis games happen.🎾 We did think about making a small parch of that into a playable area, what do you think? #indiedev #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #videogames #indiegame #gaming

Dappal @dappal-interactive.bsky.social · 13/04/2026

The concepts vs. the final: This descision to go with a blue bean guy might be a bit mysterious. But👏 I did feel like he hit our goals, being both clean & simple enough to have wearable powerups later on, but also relatable and sympatethic(?)! #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #conceptart

Dappal @dappal-interactive.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

Testing some powerups today! Here we have the banana peel, a wall and a heal ring Making ones that are fun to use and don't mess up the gameplay can be tricky, but its totally worth it !! What kind of powerups would you like to see in a tennis game? #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev
