Time for another #screenshotsaturday for #ElemensionalRift . A lot of behind the scenes stuff has been set up and the GUI for a new feature about to be rolled out for the cast. Several details about the character GUIs had to be repositioned to make room for the display as well.

Updated GUI for Elemensional Rift introducing a new gauge for characters.

Quite a busy week and several behind the scenes tasks have been set up. Sadly they aren't very visual, so instead, for #ScreenshotSaturday , #ElemensionalRift has a newly finished background to share for the cutscenes. Most who have played the arcade have seen the original state. #pixelart

Been a hectic week but won't let #ScreenshotSaturday slip through for #ElemensionalRift . Exhaustion dissolving attacks have been completed for the available cast and big progress has been made on a background. Going to be threading the needle but aiming to get it done soon.

053

Redah Winsblow @nrutd.com · 29/08/2026

Time for a little more #ScreenshotSaturday time for #ElemensionalRift . Progress continues with making exhaustion more visible as players really struggled with understanding what is happening. Hoping this helps further communicate what happened instead of being confused on the attack failing.

Time once again for #ScreenshotSaturday for #ElemensionalRift . Another ending is wrapped up. This can say a lot about what Selphieroth is able to achieve with very few words as she reaches her ending. How she reaches this is the fun. #pixelart #indiedev

Ending still for Selphieroth's arcade path in #ElemensionalRift.

Time for another #ScreenshotSaturday for #ElemensionalRift . The current tasks being developed are kept as secret so that early access can have first look, but Nekuen's ending has been completed (and the stars act on their own to give just a little more life in such an ending drowned in darkness)

Redah Winsblow @nrutd.com · 08/08/2026

Time for another #ScreenshotSaturday for #ElemensionalRift . While the scene is not complete, a large piece of the scene has been completed and giving it a valuable step in looking more complete. #pixelart #indiedev

Redah Winsblow @nrutd.com · 01/08/2026

Time for more #ScreenshotSaturday for #ElemensionalRift . The current art task is not quite finished yet but this piece from the last update is already gaining a bit of traction in the community because Mr. Bishounen realizes he is quite out of his element in the moment.

032

Redah Winsblow @nrutd.com · 25/07/2026

Time for another #ScreenshotSaturday for #ElemensionalRift . This one has been a bit overdue as Drake's up physical just was not working. It has been simplified and made far more consistent and direct in the anti-air properties of the former attack. #pixelart #indiedev

063

Redah Winsblow @nrutd.com · 23/07/2026

Of course I would pick from #ElemensionalRift . The most interesting is Selphieroth but Smash audience would HATE her (literally designed by what meta hates). Psyren would be the most interesting to add and would bright great depth. Crispy B. has the highest numbers. Outside that, Billy & Jimmy Lee

I've got you covered. Just like the old arcade games where they introduce a random character and display a little about the character before entering exhibition mode. Not quite hobby but title usually lists what they do when not fighting.

Redah Winsblow @nrutd.com · 18/07/2026

Time for another #screenshotsaturday for #ElemensionalRift . While the initial intent was to update the arena and battlefield icons, while looking at the stage selection, things felt a little lifeless so a little animation was added to give more life and personality.

142

Redah Winsblow @nrutd.com · 11/07/2026

Time for another #screenshotsaturday for #ElemensionalRift and this week has been a lot more subtle detail and finessing. The arena forms of stages have been a bit too similar and have been working on gently giving them personality & uniqueness while not disrupting the wants for competitive players.

Time for another #screenshotsaturday and #ElemensionalRift has continued progress with more art for the cutscenes. 'Zieque may be chilling on the roof but he is getting a chance to finally be excited about what is to come. #pixelart #indiedev

Time for the next #screenshotsaturday for #ElemensionalRift . This week has been a lot of fine tuning and adjusting requested details that have been overdue for a bit of an update. One of which is the flow of the arcade mode to fit a better build up to the finale. #indiedev

It is time for #screenshotsaturday and #ElemensionalRift has been making a bit of progress with getting the story of the arcade mode visually fleshed out. What could Neon be investigating? What might he discover? You'll have to play to find out. #pixelartㅤㅤㅤㅤ

Time for another #screenshotsaturday for #ElemensionalRift . A new feature has been rolled out for the Training Dojo. This new feature shows a display of the lifespan remaining for projectiles and other unique attacks. This can be quite useful for complex attacks used for trapping and positioning.

Redah Winsblow @nrutd.com · 30/05/2026

Time for more #screenshotsaturday for #ElemensionalRift. While I have knocked out a lot of the feedback, I also wanted to work on filling the many currently blank spots in the arcade mode cutscenes. This one is an oracle that serves Drake. #pixelart #indiedev

Redah Winsblow @nrutd.com · 23/05/2026

Time for another #screenshotsaturday for #ElemensionalRift . A couple of updates but now that blinding flash grenade has a small effect in front of victims to help players identify what happened and why they are unable to move briefly. #indiedev #indieFGC

Redah Winsblow @nrutd.com · 17/05/2026

Set up and ready to go. #ElemensionalRift is ready for the final day of #DHAtl2026 . If you are here, come on by and see if you have what it takes to be the first to complete the survival mode at this event.

Already a busy start and only finally getting a chance to take a picture of the booth but #ElemensionalRift is available for play at #DHAtl2026. If you are in the area, come on down and see if you can be the first to beat either of the bosses at level 9.

Got caught up in several conversations so I am posting a little late but #ElemensionalRift is up for another day at #FWA2026 . Come on down and check it out. See if you can topple the survival challenge.

Time for more #ScreenshotSaturday for #ElemensionalRift . Mr. Bishounen's Training Dojo is allowing players to test against multiple characters at the same time. With varying stats, sometimes it is important to see how they come together on different foes. #indiedev #indieFGC

Redah Winsblow @nrutd.com · 26/03/2026

The Miku tax is a thing? Well, #ElemensionalRift does have that covered whether it is a thing or not. She may not have a leak but she'll still wash away the other performers on stage.

Time for another #ScreenshotSaturday for #ElemensionalRift . It has been quite a bit of work to bring all of the details of the revamped training dojo to life. There will still be more small details to be added to it but this is enough to get the ideas out. #indieFGC #pixelart

Time for more #ScreenshotSaturday for #ElemenisonalRift . This particular screenshot is from one of the arcade cutscenes of the 8 gods reacting to a key piece early in (most) story routes. Even from great distance, they all immediately know the importance. #pixelart #indiegame

Time for another #screenshotsaturaday for #ElemensionalRift. Drake he been in need for some update buffs. This new buff allows him to hold the button down to charge up and release a bigger blast. This will also allow for some mind games with throwing off a foe's reaction. #pixelart

Redah Winsblow @nrutd.com · 14/02/2026

Time for another #screenshotsaturday for #ElemensionalRift. Mana is quite the neglected god and many tend to walk all over her as a result. It has left her constantly yearning for the smallest of attention and she is now determined to do whatever it takes for them to pay attention #pixelart

032

Redah Winsblow @nrutd.com · 07/02/2026

Time for more #screenshotsaturday for #ElemensionalRift . One of the new items is the foxglove flower. If one waves it in the air, a fairy will pop out. The fairy may help or hinder the one that disturbed it's slumber. There is even a slight chance that more than 1 fairy will appear. #indieFGC

Redah Winsblow @nrutd.com · 31/01/2026

Time again for a little more #screenshotsaturaday for #ElemensionalRift. Steven Mane, the war council advisor, knows much about the regional politics, a historian extraordinaire, and knows the backgrounds of everyone important. Some might even call him a lore master.

Time for a little more #ScreenshotSaturday for Elemensional Rift. While 'Zieque is known for sleeping and being apathetic to the world around, when he is energized by something of interest, he can start to show a spectrum of emotion. He can even show fear at times. #ScreenshotFestival #pixelart

Time for another #screenshotsaturday update for #ElemensionalRift . With this week being busy with behind the scenes code updates and filling up the last of the empty spaces in Red's Vault, it is reaching a point of near completion. Soon it will be another section that can be fully wrapped up.

Keeping a strong focus of staying on top of sharing more for #screenshotsaturday . Red (based on the character designed by @hmibisondollars.bsky.social ), the financial officer of Elemensional Rift, who will put those hard earned carrodollars to use, needs a great throne to sit upon. #pixelart

Redah Winsblow @nrutd.com · 08/01/2026

It was the last big project I finished. It was a rhythmically interactive arcade game (which would explain why it might be hard to find). The big separation was that when a performer (player or CPU) was doing well, they would unlock their animal form & gain an ability that would impact the pattern

Redah Winsblow @nrutd.com · 08/01/2026
