Absorbed Runes can boost Illyia's movement, too! Just think of it as a bit of a bow-nus #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

Pretty sure this goes without saying, but Rune Fencer Illyia does not and will NEVER contain anything with genAI. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #ドット絵

Even the smallest trailer slot for Gamescom is unattainable for indies. It'd basically bankrupt us! So if you wanna help a tiny indie get some visibility, then I'd love if you could check out our awesome game - there's giant capybaras in it!

Each runic spell in Rune Fencer Illyia has a hidden quality to them. For instance, I timed her boomerang spell to match perfectly with the speed of her sword combo, allowing the player to keep up the assault for massive damage! #pixelart #Gamedev #indiedev #ドット絵

First Rule of Mimickry: don't let them see you do it. Implemented our Mimic Rune this week, which allows Illyia to camouflage herself as a random object, and even avoid contact damage from unaware enemies! It works! Most of the time...

Don't worry, be Capy! ✨ We're gonna start posting Rune Fencer Illyia updates here on Bluesky as well.
Several enormous capybara swim in a secluded hot spring high in the snowy mountains. Illyia of Moonstone kneels next to the largest capybara and pets it happily.
