Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 22/09/20264000!! ✨ It's been 5 days since 1.0 launched, but my brain still thinks it was just a bigger update. It feels so weird to remember that the game is actually out of early access now 😆 But seeing so many new players pop up makes me super happy. Thank you all for supporting Emberward! 1114
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 11/09/2026For the last #screenshotsaturday before the 1.0 launch, I thought it'd be cool to share what Emberward looked like at the VERY beginning 😆 Just make it exist first, you can make it good later! #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 0153
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 02/09/2026🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨 Emberward v1.0 launches on September 17! It still feels unreal that almost 4 years of work have led up to this. Thank you all so much for your support and feedback along the way! ✨ store.steampowered.com/news/app/245...store.steampowered.comEmberward - Emberward 1.0 Coming September 17! - Steam NewsTwo more weeks! 1162
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 22/08/2026This is what happens when your dev's sanity is close to zero... I added DOPAMINE MODE 💀 #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 | #screenshotsaturday 2205
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Finished the last background today... and suddenly realized how much I've learned over the 3.5 years of making Emberward! Just a few more steps to 1.0! 😤 #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 | #Emberward 061
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 18/07/2026It took me a long time to come up with the design for this tower, but it's been requested so many times that I felt I had to make it happen. Here's the Volcano Tower!! 🌋🌋🌋 #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 | #screenshotsaturday 0111
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Trying out some new ideas! What if you could paint the ground like in Splatoon...🤔 #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 | #screenshotsaturday 0131
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 14/06/2026After today's Steam post, I can finally start sharing some new stuff! This is one of the new maps in the new region. Filled with void energy, crystals, and lots of portals!! ✨ #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 | #screenshotsaturday 2195
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 14/06/2026Here's what's coming in Emberward 1.0!! #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 store.steampowered.com/news/app/245...store.steampowered.comEmberward - Dev Chat: What's Coming In 1.0? - Steam NewsIt's time to talk about what's coming in the 1.0 launch! 0123
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 30/05/2026Coming in 1.0: Mirror Rune! ✨ Place a tower on a Mirror Rune, and mirrored towers will appear on all the other Mirror Runes. Great for solid early defenses! #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 | #screenshotsaturday 082
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 17/05/2026I've always loved games where the main menu changes to a different background after you beat the final boss. So…since every world in Emberward has its own boss stage, maybe it would be cool to make one for each of them!? 🤔 #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 | #screenshotsaturday 2154
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Haven't posted in a while! Still a WIP, but here's one of the new features I'm adding in 1.0: block skins! You'll be able to unlock these with your extra XP. ✨ #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 | #screenshotsaturday 0122
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 04/04/2026Finishing up the next update! In the new custom Endless Mode, you'll be able to choose from ALL the maps in the game and pick your own Blessings! #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 | #screenshotsaturday 093
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 03/04/2026Kinda tired and stressed out lately, so I gave all the towers 10x attack speed. Now it's my stress relief game 😤 #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 081
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 14/03/2026Making some changes to Endless Mode! Instead of anomalies, maybe it would be more fun if you get something crazy each game? For example...a dev-only forbidden spell? 👀 #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 0133
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 12/03/2026Working on the UI for custom games in Endless mode... Spent almost a whole day on this, but I really like how it turned out! #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 061
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Almost finished working on the tower defense fest special event. I think this might be my new favorite map! #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 081
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 20/02/2026Finished the run history page today! Although I spent a lot of time making this…I actually never check my run histories in roguelike games 😆 #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 | #screenshotsaturday 071
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 17/02/2026Added a game completion page in the Compendium! Kinda worried some players will feel like they have to 24-shard every character…but honestly, I'd probably do the same 😆 #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 092
Reposted by Refivegmuffin (wishlist Labyren!) @vegmuffin.bsky.social · 12/02/2026Demo for my Tower Defense game Labyren is out now on Steam! Go try it! store.steampowered.com/app/4015890/... #gamedev #indiedev #towerdefense 0154
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 31/01/2026So I heard TD players really love balloons?? 👀🎈 #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 2122
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 27/01/2026Just realized I haven't posted since the last patch! 👀 In the next update, there will be a new mechanic: Frozen Treasures. You can break them open with your towers and get the treasure chests inside! #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 1141
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 18/12/2025I've been waiting A WHOLE YEAR to use the Charge Station as a Christmas tree!! 🎄🎄🎄 #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 063
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 10/12/2025Finally finished the Altar's (another) rework! The new altar gives quests in exchange for extra powerful relics. And yeah, you can be greedy, take all the pacts, and face a completely insane challenge! 😆 #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 093
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 22/11/2025I've made at least 20 of these spin wheels in my previous job, but this is the first time I didn't have to write any code that lets the game cheat 😆 Feels good being an indie dev. #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 | #screenshotsaturday 062
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 01/11/2025Finished the new game mode today! Coming in 0.4.8: Enigma Sanctum. A faster, puzzle-like mode! 🏰 #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 | #screenshotsaturday 071
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 26/10/2025Testing the new game mode! After two years of developing Emberward, it's awesome to make something that feels new to me 😆 #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 | #screenshotsaturday 2204
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 22/10/2025Last week: Another update done! I just need to finish all the reworks and we'll reach 1.0!! This week: So I've got this new idea...🤔 #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 1111
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 17/10/2025My favorite relic in this update! Every time you open a treasure chest, you have to pick one option. You might get 100 gold coins, or maybe just 1. After making it I played like this for 15 minutes nonstop 😆 #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 0122
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 14/10/2025Some old flames are getting replaced in the next update, so I tried putting them all together and it looks nice! Gonna keep this as my wallpaper till the end of October 🔥 #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 0112
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 08/10/2025Super locked in today and worked 16 hours straight...Totally exhausted now, but really happy with how the new flame turned out!⚡⚡⚡ #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 0182
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 04/10/2025Added a new UI for Endless Mode! It's been a while since I could just chill and focus on making something. Feels great. ✨ #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 | #screenshotsaturday 0192
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 29/09/2025"Can't believe the dev tricked me into playing tetris" Good news! Soon you'll also be playing match-3 😎 #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 0142
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 15/09/20253000! 🎉 Again, big thanks to all my players and everyone who helped me along the way! Couldn't have come this far without all the support. 🙏 #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 1263
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 05/09/2025Finished the last piece of the achievement system today! For the long time players, the game will show you all the achievements auto unlocked, and then you can claim them all and enjoy the flood of achievement notifications 😆 #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 0132
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 02/09/2025Finished making the 50th tower in Emberward! 💥 #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 0163
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 30/08/2025Added a new achievements page in the compendium! Now I just need to finish testing them all... 😵💫 #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 0112
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 27/08/2025Spent a few hours upgrading my Steam page and swapped all the gifs to videos. It looks SO MUCH SMOOTHER!!🌟 Highly recommend changing it asap if you haven't! #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 171
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 25/08/2025This is my QA employee of the month...poor guy has been jumping here for 8 hours😢 #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 0102
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 23/08/2025Now you're thinking with portals! #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 | #screenshotsaturday 071
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 16/08/2025Feeling exhausted today...so instead of working on more achievements, I decided to shut my brain off and build something cool 🚀 #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 | #screenshotsaturday 1132
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 13/08/2025Working on achievements is weirdly both super boring and super satisfying...🥴 #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 1132
Refi @refichl.bsky.social · 09/08/2025Played Donkey Kong Bananza and got some new ideas! So...what if you could turn the monsters into gold...and mine them? 👀 #gamedev | #ゲーム開発 | #screenshotsaturday 0134
