I did a game database tool to easily explore & edit the assets of the game, it makes me feels good and remind me of my gamedev debuts with RPGMaker. Also pretty cool to run batch methods on assets, check for errors/missing stuff,... Should have done that sooner! #vindica #unity #gamedev

Fighting system rework done!! I think the fight feels very visceral and with mastery it can become incredibly dynamic! Tomorrow I'm gonna finish the week by trying out ideas for the first boss! #vindica #metroidvania #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

I just finished making my own custom scripting system to makes Vindica's cutscenes It's connected to a tons of things for rendering, gameplay, character anims/behaviour, audio, ... and can manage conditions as well. That's gonna be so useful & fun! #vindica #metroidvania #gamedev #indiedev #unity

Sneak peak at early game combat! With the addition of the blood drying mechanic, you will now have a limited time to concentrate the blood splatters into orbs that can be used for healing (or other powers later). This will feed into the sacrifice and risk-reward core aspect of the

Seed by Seed | Baladins coming on Consoles! @seedbyseedgames.bsky.social · 16/01/2026
Hi there, game industry and friends, This is our turn to do the "square news bad news" thing. Sadly, our studio has been affected by the crisis like everyone else. You can ask questions in thread, we'll try our best to answer. Cheers & take care ❤️
Hi everyone, long time no see.
The global video game economy was bad in 2024, and it got worse in 2025. We had hoped that it wouldn't affect us, but it did. 2025 has been a rough year for us.
Seed by Seed is experiencing significant financial difficulties, and we have to pause our creative activities. We're not closing the studio, but we had to let go most of our employees (understand: we fired ourselves) and we'll now focus on contract work to stabilize our company. Seed by Seed still exists with a few persons that will maintain our games as much as they possibly can. Nevertheless, Baladins will soon be released on consoles, and more is to come for Jump the Track.
The Seed by Seed team sends lots of love to everyone who has helped us on our creative journey so far. You can support us by buying and playing our games, spreading the word, and leaving good reviews on Steam. All efforts will help us return to creating our own weird adventures.
The Seed by Seed Team

I made a tool that makes retro anime sound effects. Meet AnimeVox! I made it for a game, but it's free to use. I'm using the forgotten (but popular in 80s japan) Schroeder reverb algo, and some wobble. If you find it useful consider supporting me on itch :) castpixel.itch.io/animevox
the anime sfx-making tool!
It's called ANIMEVOX, in big letters up top.
Then there's the controls:

In vertical pairs:
Left:
Pitch Rise
Rise speed

Reverb
Room size

On the right:
Wobble Speed
Wobble Amount

Tone Brightness
Volume

Next is a row of keys:
Randomize - randomizes the sound parameters
UNDO/ REDO - go back to parameters you liked
Export Wav - self explanatory, it saves a copy of the latest sound to your hard drive.

Then the fun buttons, with cute art styles:

IMPACT, sparkle, beam, powerUP, PON, BOOM, slash, woosh

Each produces a preset sound, which then goes through the fx chain.

Hope you enjoy it!

The revised sound design of Vindica! What do you think? Still a lot of work to do, but I like it way more than the previous one. Also I developed new audio systems for dynamic music layers, localized ambient sounds (saws/conveyor belts), and screen-space sound spatialization! #gamedev #Unity

I had forgotten I announced it as early as that 💀 I've postponed it for a lot of reasons one after another, but mostly because I didn't liked the sounds and was afraid to ruin the first impression with it :( I've restarted the sound design from scratch, i still struggle quite a bit but it's better!

I improved the game's skilltree! In Vindica's world, hematokinesis is the art of controling one's blood. To tap into this strength, you will have to sacrifice health by redirecting your blood flow into powerful hematokinetic abilities, ranging from key abilities to useful skills and upgrades.

I cleaned the new axe swings animations, and while i was at it, also improved the 2 axe swings i already got (and their charged variants), cause they weren't as cool as the new ones. Still, recency bias or not, my favorite is the swing up anim, with the downward pogo close second!

Sekamelica @sekamelica.bsky.social · 22/10/2025
The game got directional attacks and a pogo downward swing now! A bit reminiscent of Hollow Knight but I like it a lot! I aimed for a different feel for the attacks at the start with a swing charge system that can be chained with a whirl attack, but after many iterations I ended up somewhat close!

Donc mi novembre, Magelis organise sur un week-end une "creative jam" dans les locaux de l'ENJMIN, au plateau projet, qui demande aux M2 de libérer ledit plateau et leurs pc de travail dès le vendredi... Et la jam c'est réaliser un court métrage d'animation full IA. Je suis super en colère. 1/5
Inédit à Angoulême !
On en parle beaucoup...mais l'avez-vous expérimentée ?
L'IA dans l'animation :
révolution créative, accélérateur de projet ou mirage ? 
Rendez-vous du samedi 15 (matin) au dimanche 16 novembre (soir) pour une Jam sur l'Intelligence Artificielle Générative !
Une Quoi ?
Deux jours d’expérimentation et de collaboration où vous pourrez mélanger techniques traditionnelles et outils IAG, en équipe. L’occasion de tester, apprendre et réfléchir aux usages possibles de ces technologies dans nos métiers.
L'objectif n’est pas de promouvoir l’IA à tout prix, mais de créer un espace pour expérimenter avec recul, partager les pratiques, et surtout questionner collectivement les transformations en cours dans les métiers créatifs.
Pour Qui ?
Créatives et créatifs, étudiantes et étudiants, professionnels de l’animation, des VFX et du jeu vidéo, passionnés de nouvelles technologies ou simplement curieux… Cette Jam est ouverte à tous celles et ceux qui souhaitent expérimenter et partager autour de l’IAG appliquée à la création.
L'Objectif ?
Créer un film d'animation (de format très court) en 48h avec l'aide de l'IA, par équipe de 4 (3 professionnels de l'animation + 1 étudiant ou 4 professionnels en fonction du nombre d'inscriptions)
Pour les pros, la Jam permet d'expérimenter avec les différentes IA (en SaaS), tester ses usages et s’y confronter de façon concrète.
L’objectif, pour les étudiants, est de découvrir/explorer diverses utilisations de l’intelligence artificielle de manière encadrée, expérimenter et tester avec des mentors, travailler au contact de professionnels de l’animation et tisser du lien avec le milieu professionnel et les participants issus des autres écoles, se forger une opinion.
Des ateliers et conférences rythmeront ces deux jours de Jam qui sera par ailleurs encadrée par des professionnels du secteur expérimentés.
