indiegates @indiegates.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Making a word roguelite has taught me one thing: the moment you find a good word, an enemy will find a way to ruin it 😅 LETTERBANE and the Demo has come a long way, and I’m happy with how it’s starting to feel. 🖤 #indiedev #solodev #pixelart #wordgame #gamedev 091

indiegates @indiegates.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Working on a shop for Letterbane! After every X enemies, you’ll be able to buy run-changing items and random letter tiles. Question: Does that feel fair, or would you prefer the shop to stay available at all times? #indiedev #gamedev #letterbane 0102
indiegates @indiegates.bsky.social · 06/08/2026A new LETTERBANE Demo update is live -> shaped by your feedback! :D Letter stones are easier to place now with snapping, sorting & one-click removal.

indiegates @indiegates.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Quick dev update! I'm currently working on a bigger update for Ashes Remember Us, which is also on sale right now. That means Letterbane development is taking a short break for the moment. Once the update is out, I'll jump right back into it. Thanks for your patience! #gamedev #indiedev #godot 0111
indiegates @indiegates.bsky.social · 14/06/2026Yesterday I mentioned that I wanted to make Spellphrases easier to discover. Today's #demo update adds Spellphrase Stones, helping players uncover Ball, Wave and Nova more naturally. Hopefully this makes one of #letterbane hidden systems a little easier to find. :) #gamedev #indiedev #roguelite 0173
indiegates @indiegates.bsky.social · 13/06/2026I've been watching people play #LETTERBANE and noticed that spell phrases like Ball, Nova or Wave are rarely used. So today I'm turning spell phrases into spell stones instead. Sometimes players teach developers what needs improving. 😄 #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine #roguelite 0111
indiegates @indiegates.bsky.social · 11/06/2026After watching a few people play, I'll be doing another pass on the word lists tonight. German first, English next. 🔤 Player behavior is incredibly helpful for improving #LETTERBANE Thx for playing :) #gamedev #indiedev #letterbane #roguelite 090
indiegates @indiegates.bsky.social · 09/06/2026Added a small intro screen to #LETTERBANE today. It explains the basics of letters, elements and spellcasting before the first run. Hopefully it makes the game a little easier to understand without taking away the joy of discovery. Now live in the demo :) #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine 071
indiegates @indiegates.bsky.social · 09/06/2026Some players still have a hard time figuring out how LETTERBANE works at first glance, so after watching people play the demo, I'll be putting together another small onboarding update tonight. The goal isn't to make the game easier - just easier to understand. 🙂 #gamedev #indiedev #letterbane 0100
indiegates @indiegates.bsky.social · 08/06/2026The demo can survive one day without updates. Today I'm working on content for the full version of LETTERBANE instead. Back to my lovely pixels :D #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine #letterbane 0122
indiegates @indiegates.bsky.social · 07/06/2026I've been working on making #Letterbane easier to learn without removing the joy of discovery. The new Discovery Mode helps players uncover hidden words and spells as they play. Sometimes good onboarding is more important than adding more content. 😄 #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine #roguelite 082
indiegates @indiegates.bsky.social · 06/06/2026One of those glamorous indie gamedev days. No explosions. No bosses. No new art. Just thousands of words, spreadsheets, and Godot scripts. word games are hard to make :D #godotengine #indiedev #gamedev #wordgame #letterbane 092
indiegates @indiegates.bsky.social · 06/06/2026This it how it's looks when a worldbuilding game meets a #deckbuilder meets Fantasy and more. :D Currently i work on a larger and better wordlist for the game i Hope i can update the Demo later this day. You can find it on Steam. #letterbane #gametrailer #pixelgame #indiegame #indiedev 192
