PlayNYC is a wrap. Getting to watch people play Veilkeeper, learn the systems, and give real feedback was amazing! Thank you to everyone who stopped by and played. I'm heading home with a lot of notes and a lot of excitement for what comes next. #PlayNYC2026 #indiedev

Veilkeeper has its first official key art. Created by Falsemind of falsemindstudios.com, this piece captures the image I’ve had in my head for the game: the Veilkeeper overlooking the city as the rift tears open above it. Really happy to finally share this. #gamedev #indiedev #veilkeeperdev

Before and current. Veilkeeper’s deployment phase already worked mechanically, but the presentation still felt like a prototype. The latest pass adds a real battlefield, clearer deployment boundaries, and a stronger first impression for new players. #gamedev #indiedev #veilkeeperdev

New players shouldn't have to guess what a unit does before choosing it. Veilkeeper's draft screen now has unit cards showing role, strengths, weaknesses, and a short tactical overview. Small UI changes like this make the first battle much easier to understand. #veilkeeperdev #gamedev #indiedev

First impressions matter. Here's Veilkeeper's title screen a few weeks apart. The core combat loop is done, so I'm shifting toward polish. Small improvements like this are helping the game become the vision I've had in my head. #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Another step toward Alpha. The combat loop is now complete, so I've started polishing the player's first impression—the title screen. Still plenty of work ahead, but it's rewarding to see Veilkeeper becoming more and more like the game I've had in my head. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

The world of Veilkeeper is starting to take shape. This is the first colored concept for the game's key art, exploring the contrast between the amber light of the home shard and the purple energy of the rift. veilkeepergame.com/devlog/post?... #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #veilkeeperdev

A Veilkeeper stands on a balcony overlooking the city as an amber staff faces a glowing purple rift in the night sky.

Veilkeeper now has a complete gameplay loop. Not the flashiest milestone, but an important one. The project can now be launched, played, completed, and restarted. It's starting to feel like a game instead of a collection of systems. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Veilkeeper victory screen prototype. A tactical battle map is visible in the background with pixel-art units and a grid. A dark overlay displays a centered "Victory" message with buttons for "Restart Battle" and "Quit." This screen appears after completing a battle and demonstrates the game's end-of-match flow.

Key art is officially underway. Excited to be collaborating with falsemindstudios.com on the visual direction for the project. Still early, but it already captures a lot of the mood: quiet scale, isolation, and the rift looming overhead. Excited to share more as it develops. #gamedev #indiedev

$A hooded figure stands alone on a stone balcony overlooking a fractured landscape beneath a star-filled sky. The figure holds a glowing staff emitting soft purple light toward a massive rift suspended overhead. The artwork is a rough atmospheric concept sketch using grayscale tones with vivid purple highlights, emphasizing isolation, mystery, and scale.$

Starting to define Veilkeeper’s visual identity. Moved from grayscale into color using the amber / purple palette. Focusing on readability + consistency across UI icons. First set that feels like it belongs together. veilkeepergame.com/devlog/post?... #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #veilkeeperdev

Fixed a subtle issue in my tag system: Typos didn’t break anything—they just silently failed. “pooison” = no poison effect, no error. Now all tags are validated at startup against a master list. Flexible system, but with safety. #gamedev #indiedev #veilkeeperdev

Art of the Veil #1 Learning pixel art as I build Veilkeeper. First original asset — a selection crystal for the combat grid. Started rough. Ended with something I’m actually proud of. #veilkeeperdev #gamedev #indiedev

Two grayscale pixel art crystals on a dark background. Left shows an early rough version, right shows a refined version with improved shading and shape, used as a tile selection indicator in a tactical RPG.

Veilkeeper is a tactical RPG where your army shrinks the deeper you push. Venture into unstable rifts. Leave units behind to maintain your connection. Build a shard worth returning to. How far can you go before the line breaks? In development — veilkeepergame.com
