Some boring under the hood work got done, but there was at least one visual thing I added. A target must be scanned for three seconds before being able to capture components from it, the first scan. So now there's a nonsense tech UI to go with that. #CherubDev #UE5 #GameDev

One of the many risks of taking liberties with concept art is the Man Ray jumpscare… #indiedev #3dart

Ichigoichie Games says wishlist Tactichord! @ichigoichiegames.bsky.social · 06/11/2025

The playtest for Tactichord is in progress as we speak... One thing some people like is the way you make metal songs as you play and get to listen to it in the form of a music video after you've finished a match 😀🎸 #ShowCaseThursday #TurnBasedThursday #IndieDev #IndieGame
