This weekend, for #ScreenshotSaturday, I just wanted to share a decision branch from our upgrade system for #HailOfHexes! Here we see a choice of enhancement for Kess's Arrow spell. Which would you choose? #indiedev #godotengine

Binary choice between Precise or Poisonous arrows. Menu is a sage background garnished with floral patterning, while the menu options are purple, and feature the same floral patterning.

Definitely recommend this Jam. Hail of Hexes was originally made for the 2024 Scream Jam. We got a ton of great feedback from the other teams participating and placed 6th overall Glad to see them reaffirming their stance on GenAI

Another #WishlistWednesday and I'd like to do another check-in! Any new games you're excited for? I've been feeling ravenous lately for some interesting indie games, so lay 'em on me! (By the way, #HailOfHexes releases next month! Very exciting!) #indiedev #godotengine

Fighting games deserve better single-player modes. Not a glorified arcade ladder. Not “training for ranked.” An actual adventure. Characters. Exploration. Progression. Bosses. Weird shit happening. So that’s the fighting game I’m making. Follow Fablelight: www.kickstarter.com/projects/815...

Aster, surrounded by moons, faces off with a wobbly ghost, while flying through an enormous castle hallway. A small demonic creature, and a flame creature, can also be seen.

Kess is losing this run shortly. This image features the woods level, a large number of bats, including a few yellow ones, and a fungus among em. Kess is a winged humanoid with owl features, and a green color pallette.

#screenshotsaturday is a good day for a sneak peek, is it not? I have the reveal for our new playable character, Kess! Kess will be joining our cast of playable characters when #HailOfHexes releases this October #IndieDev #GodotEngine

Kess is a birdfolk with a green color theme, and flies with her own wings, separate from her arms, which wield a bow. She starts with the Arrow spell, which pierces enemies and bounces off the screen's edges.

#ScreenshotSaturday can be a little busy, but not as busy as Eli, apparently! There's something really satisfying in reaching a point like this, where you're such a huge threat that you can visually see the chaos you manifest. #HailofHexes releases this October!

Eli flies through a chaotic late-game part of the Forest, with bouncing arrows everywhere and lobbed explosive projectiles reducing enemies to abundant EXP crystals. These bats don't stand a chance!

A screenshot from gameplay of a red-skinned devil-looking kid riding a broom like a skateboard and lobbing pink balls of energy at bats. Some of the bats are traditionally colored, but most of them are yellow and firing yellow sonic ring attacks, while a colorful bat makes its way toward Eli.
