Pixel art of a gargoyle creature. It has a large, sort of goat shaped head with a long tongue hanging out of its mouth, bright red horns and small wings, a long neck, a scaled belly, and mammalian feet. It has small arms with its hands clasped in front of it similar to the "you know he had to do it to em" meme

combat for my monster catcher game has a pretty much fully functional loop now! been working on levelling up and learning moves today, and bar a couple of silly typos it basically worked first time! gotta start working on items next and that's a little daunting ahah #gamedev #indiedev #gamemaker

screencap showing the end of a turn-based combat battle. The opponent Lagometchi is at 0HP, the player Malacrash is at full HP and almost full exp. Text on screen reads "Lagometchi can no longer fight"

Follow up to the previous screencap. the opponent has and their HP are gone. The player's level has increased and the exp bar is now almost empty. The text reads "Malacrash grew to level 41"

Updated Guillotine! Nothing major, possibly nothing you'd notice. The main thing is that now your turn automatically starts after the enemy's turn finishes, no need to click the deck every time to draw. rborgars.itch.io/guillotine

obviously they're lying to save face, but if your claim is that you never intended for it to be in the final product then you're just highlighting your own pipeline and QC issues, as well as apathy toward any of the major issues surrounding generative AI anyway Guillotine looks like this at present

Current build screenshot of my game Guillotine, with finalised assets for the UI, the card art, the player and enemy characters and the background

Reece @rborgars.itch.io · 22/03/2026

AAA devs “accidentally” leaving AI “ placeholder” assets in there game which “were only meant for early builds” meanwhile my game looked like this for the first 2 weeks

Very early build of my game Guillotine. Only 1 card has finished art, the rest are blank, there is no background, the HUD is just plain text and the enemy is a red square with an angry mouse-drawn face.

Made two more guys on stream! Sorry I accidentally muted at least twice while demoing the game, I've learnt I'm gonna have to reorganise my keybinds :)

KILLING MACHINE is a short story prequel to Sapro that follows the Explorator as she assaults a clandestine facility in search of her missing wife. It's also firmly rooted in my distaste for genAI (to put it lightly) rborgars.itch.io/killing-mach...

Sapro is the first part of a two-part guidebook and compendium for a dark-fantasy world about a dying empire of monsters, witches and dead gods. Explore the history, people, and creatures of the world and follow six protagonists on their journeys across it Read it free at rborgars.itch.io/sapro

A golden bear with a blue painted pattern on its fur walks in the foreground, carrying a severed human hand in its mouth. In the background is a crumbling roman-styled building, with mutated corpses strewn around it

A map of the fictional continent of Gelluwyn

Praefect Verenice. A knight wearing silver armour with an ornate helmet that covers her eyes. Her right arm is unarmoured and carries a burning glaive, and she wears a red sash around her waist and shoulder, which is tied at the hip and trails behind her.

$View of a large creature from behind. It stands on two thick legs, with long arms dangling in front of it and large wings held out to its sides. It has a long neck and a horn on its head. Its limbs are blue and its neck, back and wings are off-white and feathered. It is stood on a body of water looking out at a bright red sky with a large fractured moon in the centre. On both sides five glowing gold spears are rising out of the water, four of them piercing humanoid bodies.$

Signalis I'm not normally one for old-school survival horror but the setting, story, music and visuals are so good, and I liked the puzzles. It's obscure and full of layers of metaphor and allegory that are begging to be picked apart, I was thinking about it for weeks after I beat it

And the final update for Sapro is live! I've had to discard 4 pages to stay within the in-broswer file limits on itch but they're still available to download and they'll be posted here too. Plus losing them puts the final page count at a nice round 150 rborgars.itch.io/sapro

A humanoid figure in dull gold armour. It has sickly yellow skin and its arm is merged with a blade made of the same material as its armour. I holds a circular grey shield with large spikes radiating from it, covered in a bright yellow fluid. Its skull is replaced by a giant eyeball, the iris and blood vessels the same colour as the fluid on the shield.
