iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I'm very much thinking about the ogres in the first final fantasy for this one. #inktober #inktober2026 #indiedev

A decent amount of work to build in the first place, the the explanation video looks like it would have taken many times more work to create!

Just stand back and watch the goblins smack each other. #inktober #inktober2026 #indiedev

I am always a fan of wizened old robots

This contour lines are awesome

Super obvious and straightforward today. Maybe next year I'd be making some kind of cactus monster, but I'm still filling in basic objects. #inktober #inktober2026 #indiedev

I love seeing what people can do with this genre

Mark Kind @markkind.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

I love the blend of 2d and 3d, and the colors really sell the distorted vibe.

Mark Kind @markkind.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Classic. I haven't added a mimic to my game yet, but I will. RPGs are basically incomplete without them.

I'm working on the graphical feedback when picking a path to walk on the map. The path shows the danger level, and the ui at the bottom shows how much time will pass, how much food will be eaten, and how much water will be consumed. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev

When we play ttrpgs, and we get to a pile of treasure, there always seems to be miniatures, or statuettes in the pile. #inktober #inktober2026 #indiedev

Tetris in the early years, then Pokemon Blue. I must have spent hundreds of hours staring into that little monochrome screen.

Mark Kind @markkind.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

I miss the simplicity of the gameboy...

Mark Kind @markkind.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

I've still got my old gameboy. I should see if it still works.

Mark Kind @markkind.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

I love how good white on midtone paper looks

Mark Kind @markkind.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Oh, the colors really stand out in a field if all black and white relics this month

010

Mark Kind @markkind.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Great work with the lighting!

010

Mark Kind @markkind.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

The obvious thing to make for relic was a skull, but I already had one in game. So, lets make some treasure! #inktober #inktober2026 #indiedev

Mark Kind @markkind.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I love seeing the process!

Mark Kind @markkind.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Not a lot of green apples today, stands out!

The first Zelda is my favourite game, but the Breath of the Wild is my favourite version of the princess.

Mark Kind @markkind.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I'm working on my game, and I want to do inktober this year, so I'm turning the prompts into new objects for my game. #inktober #indiedev

I love the way the player's mini wobbles around the map 😅

Mark Kind @markkind.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Perfect doofy bouncing 😅

Mark Kind @markkind.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I might keep them around as rare maps, places for special in-joke encounters and little easter eggs. Depends on how onerous it becomes to maintain them as other systems get updated.

000

Mark Kind @markkind.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I made some maps for outdoor encounters, one for each biome. These will work as placeholders for playtesting while I work on a full wave function collapse battlemap generation system. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/4833480/...

Mark Kind @markkind.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Most of the monsters are placed on the map according to the biomes, the rest have different requirements. For instance, giant rats. They don't care what the biome is, as long as there are human settlements nearby. Kobolds only care about living near dragons. Things like that.

110

Mark Kind @markkind.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Finished off the monster icons, getting ready for playtesting. Over 50 monsters, most of them tied to specific biomes. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/4833480/...

Looks great, I love the gameboy aesthetic

011

Mark Kind @markkind.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

I like to play on the couch and it makes the game more accessible, so it was always in the plan. I'm nailing down more permanent UI designs, so it's time to make sure gamepad is a first class citizen. Getting the game uploaded to steam and running on the deck is also a fun little milestone to hit.

Biblically accurate wastelander

I'm the same way with music, I always mute it. Although, I usually listen to audiobooks/podcasts instead of other music.

Mark Kind @markkind.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Does the mech have cooldown? Or does it get busted and the player is forced to survive without it for a while? What pushes the player to experience both in mech and out of mech combat?

120

Mark Kind @markkind.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

I got my game running on the steam deck with gamepad controls. Very excited! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #solodev wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/4833480/...

Hmmm... am I crazy enough to go out in public...?

Mark Kind @markkind.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

No wonder! It's gorgeous! +1

Mark Kind @markkind.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Oh, if you nail the timing battle mechanics I'm in.

Mark Kind @markkind.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Excellent 👌 I expect the cord to twirl in the vortex behind her

Mark Kind @markkind.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Such an incredible art style! I'm going to be seeing this in my dreams...

110

Mark Kind @markkind.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

very cool. the crowd is rightly thrilled!

010

Mark Kind @markkind.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

This game makes me miss my gameboy... there must be an emulator...

110

Mark Kind @markkind.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Looks neat! I loved earthbound. Got a link?

010

Mark Kind @markkind.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Every game needs fishing 😅

Mark Kind @markkind.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

I love the mono-colored tiles

Mark Kind @markkind.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

This week I worked on a neat 'animation' for the start of the game. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #solodev wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/4833480/...
