Today's Aerostrike progress report: 1) Tentative final version of the demo is ready for SAGE 2026! I had to cut it short due to irl situations, but I got most of what I wanted done. 2) I also added music to the game! This track is called "Into the Abyss". #metroidvania #bullethell #indiegamedev

Today's Aerostrike progress report: 1) Demo map is built! At least in its most basic form, I still have to add tutorial messages and equipment descriptions. 2) I also want to add some NPC interactions. It's always nice to see they can get things done. #metroidvania #bullethell #indiegamedev

LMG3864 Games @lmg3864games.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Today's Aerostrike progress report: 1) Demo map is about half-way built. I might make more adjustments down the line, but base functionality is done. 2) I'm also trying to make it feel like the base is being attacked, with a lot of back-and-forth combat. #metroidvania #bullethell #indiegamedev

Hello #PitchYaGame crowd! I've been working on a new game, currently named "Project MF-02". It's a #bullethell #metroidvania. Deep beneath the surface, a war rages between a galactic empire, and a local resistance. It's in early development. Anyone interested can follow me using the links below.

Today's Aerostrike progress report: 1) Released Hotfix 2.1.3 for MF-01 Aerostrike. It fixes a minor bug in Hel's Fighters, and adds a new free paintjob, Pixelstrike. 2) The Pixelstrike ended up looking pretty good imo. I might play with this art style more. #metroidvania #bullethell #indiegamedev

A screenshot of MF-01 Aerostrike, showcasing the new free paintjob, the Pixelstrike, in the middle of a battle. It is firing a laser beam at a group of hostile ships.

The Pixelstrike is a recreation of the default Aerostrike model, utilizing 2x2 pixels and a relatively more basic art style.
