First peek at a new location we're working on for Seal of Solitomb: the Soulforge! Can you tell that this is inside a volcano? 😅 #gamedev #indiedev

A quick Seal of Solitomb update to let you know what's been happening throughout the summer! store.steampowered.com/news/app/337... This one is focused on metagame - the guild hall and the map screen where you'll spend most of your time between runs. Help share the word! 📣 #gamedev #indiegame

taking a break from tool stuff to port @krajzeg.bsky.social PICO-8 Noodle Engine from 2017 (!Where does the flippin time go??) to Picotron, with 64 color LUT's via my Picotron-Plus palette. Interesting tradeoffs at higher res, spheres just read as spheres instead of foliage. #pico-8 #picotron #art

First experiments with the Seal of Solitomb world map! 🗺️ Everything you see is WIP, just focused on getting the depth illusion and perspective right today. Can't wait to work on animations and effects to make this more alive! ✨ Previous version in replies 😅 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Turning 40 today! 🎂 Spent a decade as a kid dreaming of one day making games. Then a decade learning how to do it. Then another one working for the man, getting financial stability and squeezing hobby #gamedev in. Finally, a decade giving it a proper go! Wonder what the next one brings 🤠

If you ever wanted to build a space trade empire inside an hour, Slipways is still great, and it's 60% off while the Steam Summer Sale lasts. store.steampowered.com/app/1264280/ Released it just before turning 35. About to turn 40 in three days and the game is still going strong! 🚀

Rejiggered the shop into a more central composition, with all your choices nicely stacked down the middle. The cards used to be on the bottom left to make room for the character in the bottom right (see previous post) What do you think, better now? #gamedev #indiedev

Back from my emergency medical trip (my brother's fine, thankfully!). Slowly resting up and getting back to work on Seal of Solitomb 🛠️ Picked something nice and easy for today to get into the groove: juicing up the item selection on the shop screen ✨ #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Dealing with a medical emergency in the family, regular Seal of Solitomb updates will return once I'm back. Everything's going well, but it might take a while. Send your best wishes, everyone! ❤️

Pushing a lot of visual improvements in Seal of Solitomb lately, but today I'm out of energy and was in the mood to just play and enjoy the game a bit 🕹️ This is what this is - just me playing a level at my normal pace, warts and all, no commentary, no explanations 👊 #gamedev #indiegame

When it's going well, #gamedev is a series of little joys as you make the game better one tiny step after another 🚶 Today's was getting to replace Solitomb's mana bottles with their finished counterparts 🍾 I think I've wanted to do one of these since I first saw Diablo in the 90s 😇

If any of you are following of me because of Slipways: Prophet Margin is a game that shares a similar focus on puzzling out a trade network, is great fun, and is made by a friend! 🥇 They just dropped a demo on Steam Next Fest, so no excuses! 😅

Another use for the trail effect - making sure that you KNOW when a monster drops a seal 😁 Also makes the "find my a seal now" debug key so much more fun to use 😇 #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Using a trail effect I just added to the engine to underscore your attacks 💫 Will probably find much more use for this effect, works pretty well for highlighting fast moving things. #indiegame #gamedev

Making a depth mask for Seal of Solitomb's undead boss and reached an important realization. Either this really looks like broccoli or I really need more fiber in my diet 🥦 #gamedev #indiedev

A piece of technical art controlling the depth of the image, a very important thing for the verisimilitude of the boss in-game. Also, an accidental portrait of a broccoli.

Working on boss battle balance today! Spreadsheets aren't photogenic, but I have something else: Meet Ob-Nepenthes, the Queen of the Undead, the Sudden Demise, the Harbinger of Decay 💀 Each title is a different moveset, so she's more like three different bosses in one 😅 #gamedev

Adding camera tricks to make the Seal of Solitomb battle sequence more dynamic. I might have went overboard. What do you guys think? Would this be annoying in actual gameplay? 🧐 (probably fullscreen to judge properly) #gamedev

We've been working on the updated Seal of Solitomb for a while, so just as a reminder: the original #pico8 version is still awesome, and still free-to-play here: krajzeg.itch.io/solitomb If you haven't played yet and are in the mood to solitaire-up some sweet monster combos, give it a whirl! 🌀

The best thing about doing animations in code is that you only get to see the result once you put all the numbers in. I might have overdone the breathing a bit? 😅 #gamedev #indiedev

The brave (though maybe not entirely willing) heroes of #SealOfSolitomb, arrayed at the entrance to the Fivefold Temple, where they will *definitely* not encounter tons of undead. First peek at all the new character classes (and of course, the new versions of old #pico8 favorites)! #gamedev

Eight heroes of various professions, arrayed at an entrance to a forgotten church, huddled around a mysterious well.

Stress-testing the shield - not the best move strategically, but oh-so-satisfying against an enemy that won't take more than 2 damage at a time🥊 (alternate title: how an #indiedev amuses himself when his brain is fried from playtesting)
