Really appreciate you showcasing the indie games Plabs!

Olive Hill Studios @olive-hill-studios.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Thank you! We'll definitely keep posting more animation and art 🎨 I was looking at some of your published games and they all look very intriguing! I liked Re:Night and Dice Tavern in particular I want to check those out.

More sneak peeks of our next game. This is one of the animations our artist, Andy, completed over the past three days. Handcrafted animation is labor intensive but worth the final result! #IndieDev #IndieGame #GameDev #HumanArt

Hey Andres! I understand the feeling of putting creative work down. I'm really glad you are reminding yourself why you started doing this. Your article write up on our game was the absolute best coverage due to how personal and handcrafted it was. We have it printed and framed in our workspace 😁

Our artist, Andy, is hard at work sketching up new character designs for the next project. What do you think of this little feller? 👀 #IndieDev #IndieGame #GameDev

Dracs After Dusk Feels Like An Old-School Miracle

Dracs After Dusk is a Western paranormal arcade shooter that takes a page from old-school quarter munchers to make you yearn for the good old days.

I just saw you are 7th on the All Time Leaderboard so you've done quite splendidly Mr. Plabs! Also I was really enjoying how you were reading the dialogue lines at the beginning, it was great to hear an actual voice actor emote those! 😃

Olive Hill Studios @olive-hill-studios.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

Absolutely not Plabs! Dracs is an extremely difficult game and not for the faint of heart 😆

Two concept sketches for a character who will help you defeat one of our boss encounters in Dracs After Dusk. 🧛‍♂️🤠Which concept do you like more? #IndieDev #IndieGame #GameDev #DracsAfterDusk

Concept sketch hand drawn in pencil for a character that helps you defeat a boss in the Indie Game Dracs After Dusk. The character resembles a small tin man and wields a large axe in his left hand.

The latest hand-drawn concept sketch to game ready pixel art asset created by Andy. This will be one of the projectiles you'll have to nimbly avoid in the next boss encounter. #IndieDev #IndieGame #GameDev #DracsAfterDusk

Blue pencil hand drawn sketch of a giant crescent moon that has a face. The tongue dangles menacingly out of its mouth and the eye focuses on chasing after the player.

Pixel art game ready version of the Bad Moon projectile the Diner Boss will fire at the player.

Olive Hill Studios @olive-hill-studios.bsky.social · 03/03/2026

Another update from our artist, Andy, showing the concept to pixel art process. This is another piece that will be part of the next boss encounter we are working on. Anyone figured out who the boss will be yet? Check out our previous post for a hint. #IndieDev #IndieGame #GameDev #DracsAfterDusk

Pencil and paper sketch of a water tower. On the left side hangs a rickety looking ladder and, on the right, a giant crank that looks like it would be used to pump the water.

Pixel art completed version of the water tower concept art sketch in the previous picture. Water tower is mostly grey with dark shading on the right side to match the sunlight of the game environment. A tinge of orange highlights the windows in the center of the main water container section.

Our artist, Andy, has been working on some characters for our next boss encounter. Here is an example of how he goes from a hand drawn sketch to a pixel art version of the scarecrow. Any guesses to what literary classic the next boss is based on? #IndieDev #IndieGame #GameDev #DracsAfterDusk

Pencil and paper sketch of a scarecrow. His spindly body is comprised of straw, and he is holding a menacing looking pitchfork. An angular shaped hat can cape create a sharp silhouette as he walks forward.

Pixel art version of the scarecrow that was sketched out in the concept art. Bright orange background contrasts with the black and dark grey colors of the scarecrow. Spindly legs and arms keep the silhouette consistent from the concept art but the scarecrow is no longer holding the pitchfork.

Halloween might be over but there are still some spooky games to check out in Steam's Scream IV Fest 👻🎃 Our indie game, Dracs After Dusk, has a demo we invite you to try and let us know what you think! store.steampowered.com/app/3745060/... #IndieDev #ScreamFest #DracsAfterDusk #GameDev #IndieGame

Promotional image for Steam's Scream IV Fest which features games with a Halloween vibe to them. The announcement says the festival which includes demos and discounts on featured games will run between Oct 27 and Nov 3, 2025. The box art for indie game Dracs After Dusk is featured on the far right of the image. The player protagonist cowboy is brandishing his two pistol revolvers as a spooky moon rest on the horizon behind him.

Two more days of NextFest but fear not we will keep Dracs After Dusk demo playable after the festival is over. Any other NextFest demos you have played that you recommend we check out? store.steampowered.com/app/3745060/... #IndieDev #SteamNextFest #DracsAfterDusk #GameDev #IndieGame

Banner for Steam Next Fest October that says "come check out our game demo during Next Fest Oct 13 through 20" The far right shows that box art for Dracs After Dusk which features the protagnist orange mustached cowboy with pistols drawn in front of a frontier, western town. A moon is largely visible in the horizon as well as some wooden slat buildings like a saloon to the far right.

That being said, it feels wrong to ask someone that already tried the demo to play it again even with the changes. However I've seen you ask about NextFest demos. So if you are interested in seeing the changes an updated version can be found here. store.steampowered.com/app/3745060/...

Hi Josh! I have been hesitant to mention our demo in NextFest, Dracs After Dusk, because you kindly gave it a try a few months ago. You highlighted some major frustrations that we worked to fix. The demo in NextFest includes as many of those changes as we could complete.

Working on some small polish tasks for Dracs After Dusk as Next Fest approaches faster than one of our bloodthirsty vampire enemies...🧛 Here is a comparison of our Audio Options Menu before and after today's work session. What little pieces of polish are you working on for Next Fest? #SteamNextFest

Audio options menu for Dracs After Dusk, an Olive Hill Studios game that will have an updated demo released for October Next Fest. This version uses many of the Godot default UI elements such as the horizontal slider with its plain circle grabber icons.

As we gear up for Steam Next Fest, we are excited to preview our new "sheriff badge" system in a special Dracs After Dusk demo that will run during the festival. Unlocking badges will give you upgrades to extend your survival. Can you guess what three badges below do? #SteamNextFest #IndieGameDev

The Sheriff's Loot Chest screen shows three badges with skulls prominently featured in the middle of them. The badges can be chosen by the player that will offer upgrades to help you survive longer in your run. The names of the badges are "Gunsmith's Blueprints", "A Seven Shooter?" and "Tumbleweed" The effects of the badges are hidden to build player anticipation.
