Each time my fiancee steps into the room while on her job break, to find me "consumed" by Asthenia! 🙂 Love you @sebilion.bsky.social <3 #gamedev

No energy left for the Gauntlet? The secondary attack is there for you, and it can take down even larger enemies. New demo update should be dropping soon, will post any news! #gamedev #indiegame #wip #demo

Those giants never stood a chance against my private, personal gang/mob of guardian warriors. RIP, Mister Giant. The new demo update is slowly wrapping up and going for internal testing. (Might try to figure out some testing on my server too) #demo #combat #gamedev #wip

Manthos Lappas Arts | ASTHENIA Game-Wishlist on Steam @manthosart.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Reworking some UI in general for the next mega demo update. Alongside the new fov/head bob features and more! New option settings brought to you by @quentinstn.bsky.social #gamedev #wip #demo

Work on the game- both the new demo update and the full version has been intense, thus, I don't spend much time on social media these days, but I'm on my server daily if anyone wants to join. t.co/xvGABkKPsi 🛠️WIP: Updated Slots selection menu + new music track🔊 ! #gamedev #demo #wip

I'm working on adding some "flavor" to this new setpiece intro prologue in order to "sell" the mood of the chapter better, with regard to what's going on. The chapter is called War. (plus, I am a sucker for destruction and physics) #gamedev #wip

Manthos Lappas Arts | ASTHENIA Game-Wishlist on Steam @manthosart.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Been totally swamped these days- some health stuff, got more interviews done, some more coming up, and working endlessly on the new demo update. Finally, some requested features are coming (kudos to @quentinstn.bsky.social ) for implementing those! Fov+Head bob!

Manthos Lappas Arts | ASTHENIA Game-Wishlist on Steam @manthosart.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

@quentinstn.bsky.social And I are working on one of the much-requested features (which has been giving us tech problems for a while now): FOV! :) Still lots to tweak in relation to player assets and values, but we are making progress! #gamedev #options #fov

Manthos Lappas Arts | ASTHENIA Game-Wishlist on Steam @manthosart.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

This one is from the altered world sections. Later in the full game, further alterations in the same areas will occur depending on what items you picked/used, what enemies you killed and what weapon upgrades you obtained. (as well as other bonus conditions). #gamedev

Manthos Lappas Arts | ASTHENIA Game-Wishlist on Steam @manthosart.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Noticed many players returning to spots where HP or other resources like energy used to be, to discover that the same area changed/blocked. Well, that's a consequence of your action of "removing" foes from the world, or other certain actions :) #gamedev

Manthos Lappas Arts | ASTHENIA Game-Wishlist on Steam @manthosart.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Some old concepts I made for the "Fortress" prologue area. As usual, inspiration comes from places I visit/live in, and from studying the architecture and culture. This helps me visualise initial rough design ideas before moving into building in the engine. #gameart #conceptart #gamedev

Manthos Lappas Arts | ASTHENIA Game-Wishlist on Steam @manthosart.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

🔶We're running a poll on our Discord server as well as on social media to decide whether we should implement ragdoll physics 🤸‍♀️ for more enemies! (So far, we have an absolute positive result of "yes", but I would like to reach out to more gamers.) Here, have a glimpse: #gamedev #physics

Manthos Lappas Arts | ASTHENIA Game-Wishlist on Steam @manthosart.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

You know what can feel more satisfying than a successful parry? (At least to me, testing it) A "parry finisher"!😅 that launches the foes into oblivion. Physics/Ragdoll activated. Let us know what you think, or come join us on the server where we discuss all those!(& more) #gamedev #physics

Manthos Lappas Arts | ASTHENIA Game-Wishlist on Steam @manthosart.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Upcoming new enemy types, ragdolls, physics on enemies and armors, explosions and more...Despite limited resources, skills and knowledge, and a lack of a big team, I'm doing my best to improve any game aspect possible based on feedback provided. After all, it's my first game :) #gamedev #indiegame

Manthos Lappas Arts | ASTHENIA Game-Wishlist on Steam @manthosart.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

While on it, I am also updating visuals on atmosphere, such as lighting, fog, color corrections, etc. Traps will now be able to hurt these giants as well. #gamedev #update

I said I would share results from Gamescom, so here it is. As an unknown, debut dev, without actual marketing, this exceeded our hopes. We are proud and happy about that and wish to thank those who wishlisted and helped in any way! store.steampowered.com/app/3181660/... #gamedev #gamescom #wishlists

Sneak peek. (From what's coming in the new demo mega update-as soon as we figure out critical issues/fixes and other additions). Remember, it is a work in progress after all. #gamedev #wip #sneakpeek

As a token of appreciation to those who followed me on social & joined, I thought that I would start sharing some exclusive looks behind the game-making, news and updates on my server, and some of those might be later posted here as well.

We are getting great responses & additions due to Gamescom... I still cannot process it. For someone with an unknown IP & making their first game? It's insane. But it helps me to realise that the last 10 years of constantly trying to learn have not been in vain. #gamedev #gamescom

Manthos Lappas Arts | ASTHENIA Game-Wishlist on Steam @manthosart.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Um..Am I high? I looked at the "all" category for the Gamescom front page, and Asthenia is like on row 10 or something...? And Wishlist additions keep growing every couple of hours. I will announce Gamescom results after the event! #gamedev #gamescom

My fiancée @sebilion.bsky.social made the sweetest and most heartwarming video of our journey making Asthenia since 2019. Overcoming every obstacle, struggle, pain together—& hitting 2k+ Gamescom wishlists in one day (first day and keeps going)! Couldn't do it without you, honey. Love you! #gamedev

Manthos Lappas Arts | ASTHENIA Game-Wishlist on Steam @manthosart.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Yesterday's Wishlist additions from Gamescom! 🙂 We are now over 2k additions in less than 24 hours, and it keeps going up! Totally moved me today when I woke up and got the news from my partner. 🥹 Thank you, everyone! (Major content update coming soon!)

Manthos Lappas Arts | ASTHENIA Game-Wishlist on Steam @manthosart.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Many important updates are in the works and coming up, and many of those will be included in the demo version. Many players seem to miss the fact that you can use your flashlight to read the objectives, thus, I added an ambient light to address the issue. #gamedev

Days have been crazy busy, thus, I'm quite absent from my social media and art gallery posting. Travelling, studying stuff, working on the game, and here are some photos from my latest trips within the country and inspirations. #photography #inspirations

Manthos Lappas Arts | ASTHENIA Game-Wishlist on Steam @manthosart.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

I guess Im gonna be making some more of those. Seems to help across other social media too for short clips. #gamedev #gameplay #videogames

I'm a simple man and a simple artist, that's how I design the ideas and everything in game before it goes in the engine. #gameart #sketch #conceptart

The HP statue's flame will die out eventually. The duration of the flames is variable in the game, and there is also an "upgraded" version of that statue later on with a fire that never goes out. #gamedev #demo

⚠️Dynamic spawn events may prevent access to certain areas and can even block previously accessible points for resources. A safe spot or an HP statue is never to be taken for granted. #gamedev #steam #demo
