you have no idea how much it means to hear that. back when i was doing concept art, it wasn't necessarily meant to be FOR a game, but at some point i felt like the time was right to create one because as a medium it better conveys the emotions i've wanted to send out. thank you so much!

now that there's a little bit of a game world going on, i'm working on the ui and some really interesting places and characters to visit. there IS a disco elysium style dialogue system and there IS a lot of existential writing. hope you stick around for the ride!

three more times, and it collapses, giving you some resources to start crafting your base.

realistically, this is the 'wood' of my robot survival game. these shipping crates are all over the underdepot, left over from when the mall actually had new stock come in from other worlds. smack it three times and you get some steel plates.

important announcement: new box features: can stand on it, breaks when hit with a crowbar

prokhorVLG @prokhorvlg.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

that's exactly the design i began with before this but i feel like it's just not very interesting to look at from a purely aesthetic perspective. the background is filled with all sorts of boxes and i'd like to avoid adding essentially another one.

thoughts on the concept? autosaw might appear later in the game as well, similar idea #indiegames #scifi #robot

conceptualizing a crushing activity for my game and i don't want the baler to be a boring cube. picture this thing hanging from the ceiling. you bring tough objects to the designated zone, or even kite enemies into its range, then push a nearby button and watch it slam down three times.

prokhorVLG @prokhorvlg.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

this is what a baler will look like in 2012

collectibles will be mostly crafted into decor 'buildings' you can place as you wish, among other things like tools, weapons, clothes. bringing friends.. ah.. co-op is something we'd like to add before this becomes a real game... it is designed to technically allow for it

prokhorVLG @prokhorvlg.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

their house is actually pretty small and austere since this game's mostly leaning on basebuilding, you're going to add decor and such yourself! it's got your email terminal and your charging station. NPCs that you've made relationships with send you recipes for batteries, requests, etc.

also drew those slimy mushroomy plants, this biome looking really good now #indiegames

tried a few inspired by vintage microcomputers but this one felt best #indiegames #handdrawn #gamedev

update: i've been trying some stuff and i think i may have a path... hand drawing the entire effect may be futile, but spawning a particle explosion of hand drawn sparks/motes, could do the trick!

prokhorVLG @prokhorvlg.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

you’re too nice thank you 🥹

020

prokhorVLG @prokhorvlg.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

interesting, i'll try that out...

020

prokhorVLG @prokhorvlg.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

oof, that's quite an art direction shift to rely on particles. maybe. i'll have to keep playing around with both methods

prokhorVLG @prokhorvlg.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

technically the interfacer is only allowed to collect garbage, but there's a loophole... #gamedev #indiegame #handdrawn #scifi

metaphorically flipped from the usual too. humanity is our long-dead idealism, the good and the bad, and the machines are us.

prokhorVLG @prokhorvlg.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

thank you! yes it's such a fun premise to explore, flipped from the usual. machine culture casually reveres aspects of humanity they don't even fully comprehend or remember. but a few are questioning it; maybe it's best for machines to explore their own future, than rooting themselves in past?

prokhorVLG @prokhorvlg.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

it's a melancholic lonely world to explore but has a lot of wondrous sights #gamedev #indie #retrofuturism #handdrawn

gonna be lots of tools in the game so trying to come up with an immersive effect #indiegames #robot #art

yeah it's on titan! there is certainly a reason she exists in the Starglade mall and you're not that far off

prokhorVLG @prokhorvlg.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

i will be drawing her a cozy home soon. i'm thinking... an abandoned furnace? #indiegame #moth #robot #art

the basement of the Starglade is overgrown by funny fungi native to the world it was built on (Titan) and let's just say there's a lot of solar tubes down there. #indiegames #gamedev #robot #art

appreciate the advice! i'll add game juice as the project goes on. the whole thing is a ton of work and i'm hoping to share the entire journey from this point, even if that means sharing some imperfection.

hammers are just one of many useful tools this interfacer-class robot knows how to craft and use. now to find something to smack... #indiegames #art #illustration #robots #retrofuturism

working on an indie game. you play as a robot in a retrofuturistic mall, trying to find out why humanity vanished.
