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

This looks like a real battle. None of the units were actually fighting. just me trying to make a trailer #indiegame #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev

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

in game, the "hand of god" saves the innocent. in mine, i've got other plans for the sinners. #indiegame #indiedev #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?

Sometimes the best feature in a game is just stopping to take in your camp. #indiegame #gamedev

Hellcrown @hellcrown.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

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

Hellcrown @hellcrown.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

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

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

Guys, important question: which version of the event intro do you like more? Var 1 ⏬ Var 2 ⏬ Let me know in the comments. #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #rts

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

Hellcrown @hellcrown.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

That moment when you're already prepared for the mimic... #indiegame #gamedev

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.

Take a look, I improved stone mining mechanic: from finger pain to satisfying. #indiegame #gamedev

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.

Build Defend Deceive Above all, conquer Hell. Hey #TeaseYaGame DEMONS REVIVAL - survival base-builder where you defend a single core with trickery, and by hurling demons with your ghost hand. Every wave is a choice. The consequences hit later. #indiegame #rts #indiedev

Ever wondered how AI "sees" the world in a game? Here's my visualization of it. #ScreenshotSaturday #indiegame #gamedev

Day/night cycle is done! It's a small feature, but it makes everything so much more atmospheric. #indiegame #gamedev

Hellcrown @hellcrown.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

Here's how we make our buildings look more three-dimensional. #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

Building placement: before vs after. The old one bugged me for ages, so I finally redrew it from scratch. #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

Hellcrown @hellcrown.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

This Unity feature split my workflow into "before" and "after". #gamedev #MadeWithUnity

How we faked volume on 2D sprites. The whole setup in ~1 minute. #gamedev #indiegame

Hellcrown @hellcrown.bsky.social · 08/02/2026

They're just 2D sprites, but we're faking volume with a small trick using normal maps. Look how the lighting brings out the shape. #indiegame #gamedev

Hellcrown @hellcrown.bsky.social · 05/02/2026

Little trick: the background is ~10 bigger than you'd expect. Why? Perspective. Here's what it looks like in the editor. #indiegame #gamedev

Hellcrown @hellcrown.bsky.social · 02/02/2026

No parallax scripts, just a perspective camera and real 3D. #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

A small showcase of our weather system! In the game you'll see different weather conditions like rain, snow, fog, and even an ash storm. #indiegame #gamedev #ShowcaseThursday
