♻️ - Wanna swap places? 🩷 🔧 - Non-mandatory units in my #SRPG #IndieGame can now can swap positions with each other turn one! This ability only works for the first turn so make the most of it!

🛹 - Back to the Grind 🔧 - Menu flow is slowly getting there, controller interactions always make everything just a little more difficult 😅. 🍭 - Here is a quick menu flow showing Title Screen > NewGame > Difficulty > Naming Character > First Cutscene! #SRPG #IndieGame

💬 - Hang on? What was your name again? Worked on getting the name input screen for my #SRPG #IndieGame today... Still not done but its close! So far, It has both mouse and keyboard input and a controller interface.

🖱️ - Oh boy, what a drag! ☕️ - More QoL update work from Playtester feedback! Someone requested to use the middle mouse to move the camera... Why didn't I think of that! To move the camera in my #SRPG #IndieGame, you can now either use WASD, Edgescroll or Middle Mouse Drag!

Nathaniel Jones | Dyadem @nathanieljones.au · 07/09/2026

🧽 - We have to make everything sparkle! ✨- Still running through and ticking off the to do list for my #SRPG #IndieGame. Not many fun updates... However, this update is! I made a "material" tile for the battle platforms which can sample shaders! Now units can fight on water!

0142

Nathaniel Jones | Dyadem @nathanieljones.au · 04/09/2026

☕️ - More QoL additions! On launching my #SRPG #IndieGame for the first time, it will give you the option to change the font style alongside the action menu style.

🩷👩‍🎨 - I would love to give it a fresh coat of paint! 🔧 - Working on some combat improvements for the minis. Created a new system today to query and display different terrains on the combat screen and finally given some attack sprites for the magic attacks! #IndieGame #SRPG

I had some feedback, some people love the pixel font. Others have issues reading it. So, I made a toggle. I want to sleep now... #SRPG #IndieGame

Palworld beaten, I don’t think I have simultaneously enjoyed and hated a game as much as this. Goodbye “Gayedream” we had a good run… 🥲

Nathaniel Jones | Dyadem @nathanieljones.au · 29/07/2026

🩷 - I always feel better with you around! 🔧 - In my #SRPG #IndieGame when a unit is near a bonded ally, they will gain stats! Which stats you will gain will be determined by the Ally's spirit! 🧪 - For example, Corbyn's "Patient" spirit will grant allies additional Dexterity!

Nathaniel Jones | Dyadem @nathanieljones.au · 29/07/2026

🫂 - You got a friend in me! 🩷 - Finally added support for... well... Support! In my #SRPG #IndieGame, I added a panel on the left to show current bond levels! Bonded units will buff each other when nearby! 🩶 - Grey hearts mean the unit has been defeated in permadeath.

GMTK finalised... So tired... I wanna sleep forever. Send snacks and snugs please.😴

Nathaniel Jones | Dyadem @nathanieljones.au · 26/07/2026

🥳 - Created a solo project to submit to the #GMTK #GameJam. Overall pretty happy with it, was nice to slap something together that was not as intensive as Dyadem. 🔧 - Going to try add a few more tutorials before the timer is up! nathanieljones.itch.io/a-slight-ove... #indiedev

This isn't your "First World Problem". Build a laser to blow up planets for petty reasons!

My GMTK submission is now technically a “Game.” Now to put a little more elbow grease in to make it a fun game 😅

Nathaniel Jones | Dyadem @nathanieljones.au · 24/07/2026

🪲 - I'm fixin' for some bugs! 🔧 - Finally got around to fixing the battle fade bug. It messed up after the units got team colour shaders applied about... A year ago? 😅 During the fix expanded it to hide the range/arrow too! #IndieGame #SRPG

Nathaniel Jones | Dyadem @nathanieljones.au · 23/07/2026

👤 - Who is that lurking in the shadows? 🎨 - I didn't like the escort icon. It was hard to see who you had escorted at a glance! So... Now it will show the character in the background and tint their team colour! #IndieGame #SRPG #IndieDev

Nathaniel Jones | Dyadem @nathanieljones.au · 21/07/2026

Joining the GMTK game jam… So I will be Dyadem silent for a few days. Wondering if I should try live stream some of the development for the game jam 🫢

Nathaniel Jones | Dyadem @nathanieljones.au · 11/07/2026

Nevermind… 22 hours later and I’m on the edge 2.4K… 😳

7 wishlists till 2k, Feels a little unreal. 😅

Nathaniel Jones | Dyadem @nathanieljones.au · 07/07/2026

Does anyone else slip garbage into their code when stepping away to remind them where they are at? Can't leave something half complete if it wont compile lol.

Nathaniel Jones | Dyadem @nathanieljones.au · 06/07/2026

🎬 - Places people! Prologue: Scene One annnnnnd ACTION! 🔧 - Converting the script for my #SRPG #IndieGame into conversation JSON. Also have been cleaning up some of the rough edges on the tutorial to make it clearer. Here is a bit of the first mission intro! (BlueSky didn't like the full version.)

Nathaniel Jones | Dyadem @nathanieljones.au · 04/07/2026

It is Saturday… I could start implementing the new conversations from my script…. Or… I could play Deadlock…

Nathaniel Jones | Dyadem @nathanieljones.au · 03/07/2026

Trying to do the Griffin Knight's map sprite sheet... Damn is it hard... Don't be surprised if I opt to turn it into a brown pegasus "Desert Knight" in the next few weeks.

Nathaniel Jones | Dyadem @nathanieljones.au · 02/07/2026

🔖 - Who is ready for an Adventure! 🔧 - Experimenting with an easier story difficulty level named "Adventure Mode" for my #SRPG #IndieGame. In this mode you control a single "Leader" unit and the CPU will handle the rest of your team!

2143

Nathaniel Jones | Dyadem @nathanieljones.au · 29/06/2026

💰️ - Stealing? No... I consider it... aggressive window shopping... 🔧 - Needed to rework the trading menu in my #SRPG #IndieGame. It is still a little rough but capturing enemies and looting their inventory seems to be working just fine again!

0103

Nathaniel Jones | Dyadem @nathanieljones.au · 26/06/2026

⛵️ - BOAT 🔧 - Needed a frigate tilemap for a few missions in my #SRPG #IndieGame. Quite happy with the results! Still need to do a bit more work to finalize them but they are going to look great.

0143

Nathaniel Jones | Dyadem @nathanieljones.au · 24/06/2026

🗺️ - Give me a map and I will show you the world! 🔧 - I built a map for Mission 12 today. The tools I made in #Godot help making maps for my #IndieGame simple and fun... Even if I know I should be working on bugfixes today. Wishlist if you like #SRPG's like #FireEmblem!

1154

Nathaniel Jones | Dyadem @nathanieljones.au · 12/06/2026

💔 - I knew #Godot would eventually betray me :( 🎬 - Just another cutscene day for my #SRPG #IndieGame. It is always funny seeing temporary assets pop up in serious cutscenes! 🤣 On another note! Thank you everyone who has tried out the play test and given feedback, I have been going through it all!

Nathaniel Jones | Dyadem @nathanieljones.au · 09/06/2026

Massive sigh of relief… My timeline is safe. 🫣

I tried #Dyadem by @nathanieljones.au! Despite bad luck with my levels and growths, I had fun with this one! I came in because it looked like #FireEmblem, and left enjoying its difficulty and its approach to tactics RPG gameplay! Give it a try if you can, and enjoy the video! youtu.be/5R8XRxTVLA0

✅️ - Now that my #SRPG #IndieGame playtest is out and updated, time to get back to work! 🎬️ - It is fun making #GBA #FireEmblem-style cutscenes, The hardest part is now actually creating the writing and stage directions. I swear, developing the conversation engine was easier!

🏳️ - RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!!! The above kinda speaks for itself actually... 🤭 Updated the "Retreat" behaviour in my #FireEmblem-like #SRPG #IndieGame! In some scenarios you may cause enough panic that the whole army may turn tail and run!

🎬️ - Cutscene chaining in my #SRPG #IndieGame seems to be working rather well, Here is a clip from the mission that will featured in the new playtest! It is still a work in progress and I still need to smooth out the edges, but all in all I am rather happy with the results so far!
