You’ll now have to keep the lights powered during encounters… 👻 #indiedev

Enemy siege artillery projectile WIP. Still tuning the timing, impact, and readability. #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart

Redid our upstairs floors, railings, and chandelier. Wanted it to feel like a house that was once lived in. #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

Use the enemy’s spores against them with your Molotov. Sometimes the best answer to fire… is more fire. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

An enemy that punishes players for turtling too close together. Chain lightning. #indiedev #pixelart

Redid 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

Go yell at some enemies and hurt their feelings so they attack you instead. #pixelgame #pixelart #indiegame

Gave the radio a little animation to give it some character and a bit more life. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Interception fire is a big part of our gameplay loop. Here’s a small showcase of how it works. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Then 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

Cute little sniper enemy. It fires chain lightning, making it dangerous to stay close together. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Attic’s finally done! Added some subtle light flickering for a little extra atmosphere. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Throw your partner to safety before the enemy turn if they’re low on health. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Polished 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

Took me all weekend, but I finally got rim lighting working on the players 😭. Also Pantry room art is done. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Hantopia @han-topia.bsky.social · 22/05/2026
I’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?

I gotta rip the bandage off and just jump into sfx and music. Thanks for the answer SVP!

Curious 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

I'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

New enemy Brute butt slam! So happy how this turned out! #gamedev #indiedev

I 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

Concepts 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

Added molotov. Extra Cwispy. #gamedev #indiegame

You can now pre-build ladders throughout the house before each night. Opens up different strategies and decisions! #gamedev #indiedev

Got 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

I call this the Enemy Root. It sets up siege, then shoots a hail of bullets. #gamedev #indiedev

I 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

Hey 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.

Gamedev 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
