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

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

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.

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?

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

Demons Revival Update 0.4 is in Development! Friends, if it's not too much trouble, please follow our itch. page. As soon as the build is ready, you'll be able to download the game there. Meanwhile, we're working on the Steam page. astral-hearts.itch.io/hellcrown/de...

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...

Hellcrown @hellcrown.bsky.social · 16/05/2026
Thanks! But a lot of the credit goes to the original asset. There was a lot of programming work involved, but I managed to find time for a small attack animation. Glad you liked it :3
020
Hellcrown @hellcrown.bsky.social · 16/05/2026
Game assets are a great starting point. This time, I added a custom attack animation for the hounds. The update is really starting to come together — lots of work is happening behind the scenes. Also, the page will soon be renamed to Hellcrown.

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

A small building for your sinners. #indiegame #pixelart #ドット絵
Pixel art of a shabby Sinner Shack: a small green wooden house with patched roof and side awning. A tired figure sits by a steaming cauldron over a fire, bucket by the doorway, on a muted teal background.

Yeah, it’s much simpler, it just flies toward the enemy, goes up, then drops back down. :)

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

Thank you! Players will be able to build chicken coops like this. Chickens will occasionally spawn there, and your imps will use them to gather/produce food. :3

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.

Pixel art progression of a mine building (Tier 1 → Tier 2 → Tier 3). The structure grows bulkier and more ominous with each upgrade, adding extra machinery and stronger silhouettes.
