Is this the most ✨anime✨ battle anim so far? In the sword-fighter class Wolfgang brandishes a lustrous cape (his own craft 🧵 ). Slicing foes faster than they can gasp at his style! Try Thornetica's free demo👇: store.steampowered.com/app/4134390/... #pixelart #indiedev #FireEmblem #rpg

I studied thoroughly medieval Europe maps to create this little beauty of a system. It will be used at various points in the game ,I hope it gets you more invested, I feel it better translates the geopolitical magnitude of the events in the story! Try the demo (bio) #indieDev #pixelArt #fireEmblem

A strategy rpg based on theatre 🎭 ??? Each actor takes their own liberties with portrayals. If you cast Emmi as a Cavalier role she'll dawn a samurai attire and brandish a cardboard yari👺 Try out Thornetica's free demo👇 store.steampowered.com/app/4503010/... #pixelart #IndieGame #srpg

A dialogue heavy game seems simple on paper, but then you want art for all your character's, expressions, costumes based on jobs, it quickly spires out of hand. In Thornetica we decided to throw in everything and the kitchen sink 👇 store.steampowered.com/app/4503010/... #pixelartㅤㅤㅤㅤ #rpg #indieGame

As an indie Dev nothing beats taking your game to your local games festival 🎮♥️. I also crunch the last few days to fix and tweak lil things that are SUPER necessary at the risk of breaking everything 😓 ,anyways Thornetica's demo will be playable at Guadalindie! #indieDev #pixelart #rpg #fireEmblem
