"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

You may not like it, but this is what peak localization looks like (Asterix: Mega Madness (PS1, 2001))

Doubling down, what if we put a 'NO AI' stamp on the capsule art? Too much? Too provocative / inviting negative discussion? Or perfectly direct communication?

Nyco 🙌💀 @nyco.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Would a "NO AI USED" or "100% HUMAN MADE" stamp on Steam game description help with filtering? I didn't add that to my steam page yet but have been considering it for a good while now.

That's a lot easier to say for a sandbox game 🥲 Even though arguably those take even longer ^^

No one warned me how much game is in a game :( #indiegamedev

Im writing for NPC's in my game and im struggling to come up with good men. Ive been mostly growing up with women, so writing for them feels more natural to me Perhaps I could write about the men I wish I had in my life Creative work really is a mirror to the self #indiegamedev

Oath of the Necromancer Demo on Steam

Oath of the Necromancer also has a demo A roguelite survivor with TRUE necromancy - Raise THOUSANDS of skellies! We almost joined this SNF, getting it extra polished for next one (SNNF??) store.steampowered.com/app/3573390/... #indiegamedev #OathOfTheNecromancer

store.steampowered.com

Raise the bones of the fallen and create an army of the undead - warriors, archers, mages, monsters & beasts. Take revenge on the old tyrant, build a sanctuary, and resurrect ancient heroes to aid...

060

What I'm considering to stay within the RNG system we set up: - (Before the run) allowing you to 'ban' some summons from ever showing up - Shrines for special summon (pick 1 of 3) - graveyards to summon specific summon x times - "Blessing of X" to increase spawn chance of specific summon for x time

It looks fun, but it'd majorly change the balance and gameplay. We balanced the game around some summons having a lower spawn chance than others. Changing something this major is too late in development cycle, but very interesting to look into for OotN 2 :D i.e. more deliberate gameplay over RNG

Imo it's a tough balance to strike between RNG roguelite gameplay & strategise what you want, or with our decision to only have 2/3 buttons for combat thus far. Either way you raise a really good point we'll need more content & balance to address it and I'll see to get that in in some way

At the core I'd want it simple - complexity comes with utilising the relic's powers to its fullest & learning the level which should feel less frustrating with better balancing Very valid feedback, especially control over army raising. We have a few ideas how to give that feeling

120

Game balance is a bit tough to get right, the game can snowball quickly in either direction. We have plans to address this sometime soon (better tutorial, adjusted difficulty, new difficulty system, adjusting summons balance) Either way, thank you for playing!

While our game works perfectly without it, we added Twitch Integration so that you can add your friends via Twitch! Also works on Discord, so no livestreaming required. Especially good when hanging out with friends on Discord and streaming it there to them #indiegamedev #OathOfTheNecromancer

i bet same thing will happen to you, pure addiction please give them yours support :3

021

Thank you for the encouragement! We'll fight on 🙌

Yea we'll power through. Yet somehow the meta-commentary on marketing popped off, while our other posts are doing mostly okay-ish. Marketing is both a mystery and a gamble

I prefer just make game :( not tell

Philosophoskelly...? We do think about the ethical implications of Necromancy 🤔

Nice, enjoy! From my experience with midrange pc, i can get to ~4000 skellies :D

can i tell u about oath of the necromancer?

We'll also add this feature to work for Steam DM's from friends - no Twitch stream needed, so that it'll work with your friends too :D

Who thought adding twitch chatter's messages to the game was a good idea? Streamed by @risingblur.bsky.social #indiegamedev #OathOfTheNecromancer

Hard to say. Im happy its working so far though

000

Theoretically that number is unlimited. The bottleneck is your CPU with ~5000 active skeletons We just wanted a necromancer game that lets you do this. Most necromancers in other games are limited to the games system. Not with our game - we designed for it from the start

Our demo for Oath of the Necromancer has an average playtime of 2 hours. Is that too much content?? Maybe! But we love it! Find out why people love it by playing it yourself! store.steampowered.com/app/3573390/... #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart
