We wanted health bars that actually belonged in Hellcrown So we made them crowns And yes, they also tell you what your unit is doing. #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

In Hellcrown, you're dead — but your hand still rules. It's a roguelite strategy where you build a fortress around your own grave, command demons, and survive the consequences of your decisions. We're making a game where you play as the demon lord. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #basebuilding #game

we hit 300 wishlists in just two weeks! but it's also a reality check: we'll have to fight for every single wishlist, and there's a huge grind ahead I'm honestly overwhelmed, a wild mix of exhaustion and pure joy. It's a massive result I never saw coming. Thanks! #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

soul harvesting mechanic in our game, is it too brutal? #indiegame #gamedev

It's just a 2D sprite, but we use a little trick to give it a sense of 3D depth. Check out how the light shimmers on the demon! #indiedev #gamedev

We three devs are making a roguelite strategy game where you are already dead... But your ghost hand still commands. • Rule from your crypt • Survive strange visitors, sieges, and betrayals • Every run becomes a chain of stories and consequences It's Hellcrown. Would you play this?

We're back And these last few days of experimenting with lighting and camera paid off in a big way. The result looks kind of insane. #indiegame #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev

You are dead. But your ghostly hand still commands. Hellcrown is a roguelite strategy game where every run unfolds into a chain of random stories, sieges, and consequences. #PitchYaGame #indiegame #indiedev #steam

So… we got banned on X. We still don't know why. Reports and appeals led nowhere. It's honestly devastating how easily you can lose something you’ve been working on every day for a whole year. And this happened right when we were preparing to launch our Steam page. #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

Hellcrown @hellcrown.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

There was a character in our game that almost no one ever saw… #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Demons Revival Update 0.4 is in Development

Hey everyone! We’ve temporarily hidden the old public build (0.3.1) of Demons Revival. That version was an early prototype, and the game has changed a lot since then. We don’t want new players to...

We've decided to rename the game. The old title was very meaningful to us, but without context it lost some of its meaning and could sound a bit strange to new players. The new title is [Hellcrown]. What do you think? #indiedev #gamedev

Turns out, throwing imps is fun. Wasp flew away? No problem, you only need one good throw. #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

Wasp problem? Throw a unit at it. Still working on flying unit AI. This opens up a lot of interesting new behaviors. I also want to add the ability to throw a unit at a wasp and knock it down. Can't wait to test the new loop with all the new content. #indiegame #gamedev #WIP

Hellcrown @hellcrown.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

In my opinion, this is exactly how flying units should work. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

#WIP Wave intro animation! I'm trying to give the start and end of each event a satisfying sense of impact. I'll show it with sound soon, along with versions for other waves. #indiegame #gamedev

Warning, demonic chickens are very dangerous! 🐔 New building: the chicken coop. #pixelart #indiegame #gamedev #ドット絵

Pixel art scene: a small chicken coop with a fenced area while little imps run around grabbing chickens and carrying them away on a muted teal background.

Barracks & Shooting range. Demon recruitment starts here. #pixelart #indiegame #ドット絵

Pixel art of two dark gothic military buildings on a muted teal background. The left building is larger with tall spires, crates, bunks, and a horn/megaphone on the roof; the right building is smaller with weapon racks and training gear, suggesting recruitment and unit training for demons.

Workers' camp. Cozy. Practical. Just a little demonic. #pixelart #indiegame #ドット絵

Pixel art of a small "worker camp" building: a stone base with wooden scaffolding and a beige canvas tent draped over it. A large hanging banner displays a red demonic summoning sigil, and a rope line on the right holds several chickens. Inside are cozy details like hammocks and supplies, all on a muted teal background.

I'm excited to share some happy news: 80 LEVEL published an article about us! It really means a lot to be noticed more and more, it's motivating and gives me extra confidence to keep working on the game. Lately I've been putting more effort into my posts too, and I’m slowly learning video editing.
