Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I finally got my #writing -> publication pipeline secured for my #novella IP series 🙌 I will be able to serialize and post updates here and my #itch.io! I am so hype 🔥🔥🔥 Chapter 1 dropping hella soon on my #substack! #writersky 010
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Man I gotta say, taking a break from #writing and/or #gamedev is so necessary sometimes. I couldn't think of a single sentence for about a day snd a half, but now I am ready to crank out the whole next part of my #shortstory Take breaks fools. Its worth.static.klipy.comChainsaw Man Denji and Power DanceALT: Chainsaw Man Denji and Power Dance 083
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Possibly just solidified a #writing project that will surely trump all other projects and I am SO pumped! 000
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Man I couldnt even #write a few hundred words to round out the chapter today 🙄 some days be tough. #booksky 010
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 30/09/2026#writing is extremely freeing and uplifting, but my god, I might be burning the creative fuel a bit hard 😅 I am about halfway through my #fantasy short story though, so I am happy about that! Probably finish it up by sometime next week and release! #itch.io #indie 130
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Finally got around to releasing an update about my #writing on #itch.io. I am excited to finally get it going and in the coming weeks there will be lots of movement. #booksky #writersky Coming Soon - Officially! - Legend of the Arcane Thief sarkahnam.itch.io/legend-of-th...sarkahnam.itch.ioComing Soon - Officially!Hi! It's been a long while. I have been doing a lot of things behind the scenes, but I can genuinely say I am very excited for what is to come! As you might be able to tell, I have a new cover for my.... 190
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Im curious, do people consider building your own homebrew #dungeonsanddragons campaigns #gamedev? I know of some small circles that have claimed as such but is it really the case or something else? 🤔 I guess the way I do mine, kinda? 071
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Theres been a lot of chitchat about people using AI to steal a #gamedev work and post it before the original launches. Due to this many are scared to share there progress in a similar vein to what I have so far. I still say do it. Share the #wip. At most you MIGHT change the name. But screw em. 094
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 26/09/2026And yes, my game does have a story behind it but I am #writing #shortstories about other people and areas within the same world #worldbuilding #writersky 041
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I think as I develop and write my #fantasy #shortstories, I will begin to post them and their progress through #itch.io. Might as well since I will push them over there anyway 🤷♂️ this is my current #wip. #booksky #art by Claudia Wilson 090
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Short fantasy is my jam and I will probably write it forever #writerskystatic.klipy.comKermit The Frog TypingALT: Kermit The Frog Typing 220
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Taking a break from #gamedev for a bit to do some #writing for my #dungeonsanddragons campaign and my #books. This backlog is seriously a bit much 😅 BUT I made huge progress with my novella series so hopefully volume 1 gets pushed out soon 💪 #booksky 0172
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I am staring at the next part of my development phase and by god I am daunted 🙃😅 this one is gonna be hefty, but you gotta have a "shop" right? God knows potion x262537483 sitting in your inventory won't feel great at floor 127 lol #indie #gamedev #wip 082

Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 23/09/2026One shot, LETS GOOOOO!! Core systems done ✅️ Now I can get the "Shop" together. And im happy af, so don't look at the text getting overlapped by the window box 🫠 lol #indie #gamedev #termux 092
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I stand by this 10000000% and it is the very reason I write the #stories I #write and #gamedev the game I am making 💪 stay true to yourself. You are your first member of your own audience... always. It took me way too long to realize that. 072
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 23/09/2026In the office today, that means no excuses! 😤 Getting this new build implemented, tested and this dev log out ON TOP of #worldbuilding and #writing!

Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 22/09/2026To any that might be interested, I do #write. My short stories are available for free on #itch.io #booksky I have a huge backlog coming in... sarkahnam.itch.iosarkahnam.itch.ioSarkahn A.M 1102
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Can confirm - shenanigans ongoing 🙃 I am actually itching to get this Skill screen updated so that skill scrolls that have dropped can be seen (like a separate inventory screen similar to equipment to show what has been learned or not) When shop exists I will be sure you can sell the extra #gamedev 092
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Finished the last build of my core system (aside from shops because... thats a different beast). Haven't implemented yet, but once I can conquer work shenanigans I plan on popping off 🙌 #gamedev #indie I played my game again yesterday for a min and didn't get a single skill upgrade 🙃 RIP lmao 0103
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Day started out pretty well, but time is limited (as is my internet apparently), so I am going to finish out the last build of my final core system before compiling everything for this first #devlog 💪 so pumped #indie #gamedev 092
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Today is definitely not a #gamedev day. I am tired as absolute hell (love my kids but sometimes.. holy hell). Going to take it easy, recover, and do some #worldbuilding and #writing. Anyone else use the #Obsidian app? I feel like its simply too damn good 0112
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Ive said it before and I will say it again x10000 over. If you're a drained father with a phone like me you can STILL make #games. No excuses in 2026 guys. Make that shit happen and get yourself an android phone because #Termux is goated. #indie #gamedev 182
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Unironically, I was so impatient earlier on when developing this #game, that I opted to make it into a #discord bot first 😂 #gamedev takes time and you have to commit. But most of all, it needs to be fun TO YOU. 042
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 19/09/2026You know what - I am gushing over this thing today. I don't care. This project, however it turns out, will be an absolute BLAST to play for me. Cant wait to get sprites involved later down the line 😁 #gamedev #itch.io #indie #writing I will fix up the page later 🤷♂️ sarkahnam.itch.io/tower-of-arc...sarkahnam.itch.ioTower of Arcius by Sarkahn A.MTactical Idle Rogue-like Dungeon Crawler RPG 091
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 19/09/2026You know you are making something great when you playtest and can't wait to update it further. I could play my #game forever. And even better? No one could tell me the last year of effort was for nothing. This is the earliest concept for the original game. #gamedev #indie #writing 2133
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 19/09/2026So I couldn't get to my first #devlog nor my last core system build. BUT I know what I need to do and that is what monday is for 💪 #gamedev Just as well, I found a way to tie my new game with my newest #writing IP and came full circle, so I am happy 😁 My new game, book, and story - 1124
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I think tomorrow, if I have the energy, I will post my first devlog for my #gamedev project on #itchio, including the name change 😁 Just really hope I can finish the last few points of my core system by then (excluding "shop" because thats next) 💪 061
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Got battle items together, finally 🙌 I actually broke my game for a minute and it wouldnt change to battle screen 🤣 but we got the fix. The fact I could playtest my game all day and be happy af is such a HUGE reason for me to keep grinding. Idc how long it takes. #gamedev #wip #indie 191
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I am genuinely at a loss for what battle items I want to include in my #game. I think having "lesser" items should be fine considering the cure skill availability etc, but this also requires balancing. Thing is, I dont just want to have only "potion" and thats it. #gamedev #indie #wip 060
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Totally forgot, I can link my #devlog here directly from #itch.io 😂 Makes things easier. Still need a new name for my game though. But I guess that can come later? 010
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I think I've decided to start using #itch.io to devlog update my #gamedev. Everything is on hold aside from my short story #writing. Not sure why I took so long to consider doing this. Maybe because the game will be hosted in Reddit's ecosystem 🤔 W/e it is, a game is a game and needs a proper log.itch.ioDownload the latest indie gamesitch.io is a simple way to find, download and distribute indie games online.

Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Im so close to finishing my "core systems" checklist! 🙌 I will do a code review after finishing to clean it up with docs before moving onto the next part #gamedev 092
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Took a nice break away from #gamedev for a bit and immediately tackled my last blocker 💪 091
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I think i have too many #wips 🤷♂️ rip playing my beloved #games 000
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Trying not to talk about some #projects is pretty damn difficult. Especially when you can't think of much else 🙃 Going to force a break on myself and play some #GoldenSun. Such a great #game. 000
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I thought I would take a couple days to re-scope and take a breather from coding, but everytime I open up reddit I want to both play my game but build on it more 😅 #gamedev 060
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 30/08/2026The truth about doing #gamedev with your phone means you can start doing "something" for your project at the drop of a hat. It also means as a busy #dad, I am happy as hell to take a shit with kids blasting the bathroom door for my attention and STILL be able to push to #git 🤣🤣 062
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 29/08/202630 seconds of hype over things simply working 🙌🙌 #gamedev #indiegamedev 062

Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 28/08/2026And no - that is not all. I want hidden shit, rare drops, and hard bosses that make you think whether defending makes more sense or using that long ass, rare, Thunder Blast skill you got from floor 283. Thats the goal anyway, will see what happens with it 🤷♂️ #gamedev 050
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 28/08/2026The more I develop this game, the more I connect with all of those #RPG systems that I enjoyed from both #anime and games over time. All in a nice idle dungeon crawler. Idle in the sense of movement, mind you. The primary point of the game is to do a tactical battle then continue to delve. #gamedev 050
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 28/08/2026People that play my game will have to deal with cooldowns on skills that are obtained 😈 #gamedev #indiegamedev 083
Sarkahn @sarkahnam.bsky.social · 27/08/2026So, I coded what I think I will use for the new skill item mechanic. But I never implemented it. Its just sitting there staring me down while I try not to look and continue screwing with items and skills. Armor comes next. I didnt want to do it but that was stupid. #gamedev #indiedev 051
