Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 13/07/2026We’re so close to announcing our game. Just putting the finishing touches on the trailer and Steam page. 010
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 10/07/2026 You’ll now have to keep the lights powered during encounters… 👻 #indiedev 180
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Working on the trailer and grabbing all these tiny little moments to splice together. #indiedev 1132
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Enemy siege artillery projectile WIP. Still tuning the timing, impact, and readability. #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart 0132
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Dialogue bug that triggered in completely the wrong place.😅 Calm down, Loren. #indiedev #gamedev 0102
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Redid our upstairs floors, railings, and chandelier. Wanted it to feel like a house that was once lived in. #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev 0123
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Use the enemy’s spores against them with your Molotov. Sometimes the best answer to fire… is more fire. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev 0161
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 27/06/2026An enemy that punishes players for turtling too close together. Chain lightning. #indiedev #pixelart 0101
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 23/06/2026Redid the Ripper’s attack animation. It feels a lot more clear now. The previous one was hard to see and low visual clarity. #pixelart #indiegame #gamedev 092
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Finished up the taunt. Added the indicator and shout VFX. #pixelart #indiegame #gamedev 0112
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 19/06/2026Go yell at some enemies and hurt their feelings so they attack you instead. #pixelgame #pixelart #indiegame 031
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 17/06/2026Gave the radio a little animation to give it some character and a bit more life. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart 2203
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Interception fire is a big part of our gameplay loop. Here’s a small showcase of how it works. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame 0180
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 09/06/2026Aww thank you for the kind words. I'm rooting for you!!! 120
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 09/06/2026Then vs. Now. It’s amazing to look back and see how much the game has grown. Loving every bit of this journey! #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart 1163
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Short combat gameplay vid. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame 0132
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Cute little sniper enemy. It fires chain lightning, making it dangerous to stay close together. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame 0144
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 02/06/2026Attic’s finally done! Added some subtle light flickering for a little extra atmosphere. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev 0133
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Throw your partner to safety before the enemy turn if they’re low on health. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev 092
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 28/05/2026Her: Come over Enemy: busy destroying the house Her: My parents aren’t home Enemy: #gamedev #indiedev 094
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 27/05/2026Polished up our player turn UI picker. A lot of inspiration from Valkyria Chronicles, but reworked to fit our game’s 80s VHS aesthetic. #gamedev #indiedev 072
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 26/05/2026Took me all weekend, but I finally got rim lighting working on the players 😭. Also Pantry room art is done. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart 1203
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 22/05/2026I’m the opposite right now 😅 Deep in the weeds just throwing things together and hoping future me can untangle it all. Your approach honestly sounds way smarter though. Any apps you recommend for tracking tasks for a team of 2? 100
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 22/05/2026I gotta rip the bandage off and just jump into sfx and music. Thanks for the answer SVP! 100
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 22/05/2026Curious how other developers approach SFX in their games. I’ve barely touched sound design yet, and the further development gets, the more I keep pushing it off 😅. Would love to hear how other devs tackle audio in indie games. #gamedev #indiedev 293
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 22/05/2026I've been wanting to implement this for a very long time. Your partner can now signal you to come help them search and you can find items. #gamedev #indiedev 093
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 21/05/2026New enemy Brute butt slam! So happy how this turned out! #gamedev #indiedev 082
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 20/05/2026I love gamedev for how much you learn. This ladder animation looks off. I knew something was wrong with it, but I wasn’t a good enough animator to understand WHY it felt wrong. I think people outside gamedev underestimate how much of this process is failing, problem solving, and learning. #gamedev 080
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 19/05/2026Concepts for an enemy that slams and displaces players. Started with a gorilla-style brute, but it felt too generic. Ended up with this bowling ball golem instead. #pixelart 030
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 17/05/2026You can now pre-build ladders throughout the house before each night. Opens up different strategies and decisions! #gamedev #indiedev 0104
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 16/05/2026Got my cinematic system to be more beefy with animation triggers and character position! Here is a quick scene of Jun and Loren first meeting. #gamedev #indiedev #lovestory 0125
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 14/05/2026I call this the Enemy Root. It sets up siege, then shoots a hail of bullets. #gamedev #indiedev 072
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 11/05/2026I completely redid partner AI. Instead of following you 100% of the time, they now “live” in the house and react to you being nearby. Here are 2 scenes showcasing immersive, room-based dialogue. #gamedev #indiedev 0132
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Hey Joey, really appreciate that. I’m heads down solo right now focused on building the core, so I haven’t explored voice yet. It’s definitely interesting though, and I’d be open to revisiting it down the line. Let’s stay in touch. 120
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Finally got to animating the long range artillery. #gamedev #pixelart 1447
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 04/05/2026You better believe it that I'm adding cats. Psstt psstt psssssssttt. #gamedev 4375
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 01/05/2026Just need to bring the marshmallows to make some s'mores. #gamedev #pixelart 0205
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 29/04/2026The bedroom is a real fixer upper. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart 1164
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 23/04/2026Working on a radio broadcast that hint at what kind of night is coming. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart 1143
Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Gamedev is hard. I had unique hit animations for every hit, but it didn't look right. I realized I just needed to flash white on hit instead of playing a full on hit animation... 😩... Looks so much better now. #gamedev #indiedev 0103
