Meet Holeffigy, the game's newest playable monster! Its powerful signature move, Immolate, deals massive damage and can ignite enemies, but watch out, it cuts your own HP by 10% whenever you use it! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

FINALLY! AAAHAHA LOOK AT IT, IT'S BEAUTIFUL! Yeah, I know the game looks the same as it did before, but now it's on a new unity version, and all the memory leaks are fixed! I'M FREEEEEEE! One step closer to being on consoles! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

I've been PAINSTAKINGLY redoing the way sprites are loaded to fix a potential memory leak issue, so I'm showing you guys Colmillion again because this thing was a pain to load in the new system XD it comes in so many different colors #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Gamedev is funny sometimes because you'll spend 4 days wrecking yourself to update the game's engine version and fix super difficult memory management problems- ...and the game will look literally the same and people will assume you did nothing lmao #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

The animations for the library/bestiary are done! I'm really proud of the book flipping animation specifically- it took FOREVER, but it's so worth it! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

I updated the system for giving names to your monsters! It looks cleaner now and should work with most controllers, keyboards, mice, etc. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

I finished my monster taming direct submission, and now my brain has both the consistency and function of deep-fried scrambled eggs. Sooo, I REALLY don't feel like editing anything complex now, so just look at one of my random favorite monsters lmao #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

I redid the way Slimire is shaded and AAAAAAAAA I LOVE HIM SO MUCH NOW! Look at how much the lighting POPS off of the darker part of its body! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Sad that you can only pick one starter? Don't worry about it! You can get all 3 starters with fusion! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Here is the staff shop in Venchure Village! Staves allow shamans to transform into monsters, so they're an important part of life for the villagers #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

I made a grungy back alley segment in Aquillis! ...Just don't ask how my monster is using a fire breath attack underwater #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Karatkuro | Myth Caller @karatkuro.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

Over the HUGE amount of time I've spent making this game, I actually got a lot better at shading! So I've been slowly giving monsters a bit of a shading makeover. I've only done a few so far, but it's getting there. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Karatkuro | Myth Caller @karatkuro.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

I love adding little rest areas in between levels! It gives you a moment to breathe and it lets me add in little details that tease the level you're about to enter #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Karatkuro | Myth Caller @karatkuro.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

I got done making the ruined underwater church in Aquillis! It's surreal seeing the difference between how Aquillis looked in Xander the Monster Morpher compared to how it's shaping up in Myth Caller. I'll do a comparison video soon, it's crazy #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Myth Caller: The Nightmare Shaman is basically my dream game, full stop. A cartoony collectathon platformer that's ALSO a monster-taming RPG is something I would have been OBSESSED with as a kid, so that's exactly what I'm creating! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Whew, it's been a while, hasn't it? Sorry for the extended break from posting, but Jamie and I have been going through a bunch of medical issues recently which has made posting regularly difficult. We're back in action now, though! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #monstertaming #pokemon

I reworked the minibosses to make it so you have to reduce their HP to catch them. It was just too easy to catch them before. Now you have to actually fight them for a while instead of just running up to them and mashing the "catch" button lmao #gamedev #indiedev

I've made some good progress on the ruined city of Aquillis! Most of the map will be underwater, with a lot of inspiration from classic levels like Wet-Dry World #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Whew! I finished my Monster Tamer Direct video submission, so updates should get more substantial soon (since I'm no longer working on that trailer or materials that will go into it) Anyway, I widened the walls in Caller's Hall's sea caves! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart
