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

Hi! I'm a trans gal making Vindica Secrets of Blood, a metroidvania about sacrifice, factory sabotages and violent insurrection. It's for vengeful outcasts with existential dread that like cool movement mechanics & risk reward combat & it's inspired by titles like Iconoclasts, Celeste and Signalis.

It may work only for solo devs but to make my first big game I do freelance work for other studios, this kinda halt the production of my own game and make it even more longer, but it provide a safety net and avoid the big big gamble, while still having real full time periods on my game between work.

Terminó el Black Voices in Gaming y apunté Bathory. Es un metroidvania con temática vampírica. Me gusta mucho el pixel art y la música. Tiene muy buena pinta.

game: knowing the risks, do you want to stall or do you try to end the encounters as quickly as possible? Knowing your strengths and how you tend to act, how much health are you willing to sacrifice to get new powers, and which ones will you favour?

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!

Maybe it's still too shy in the mix but there is clothes sounds to enhance the slide, but it's not a very strong woosh either (don't want the jump & slide to be too much attention grabbing as they will be used nearly as much as basic footsteps). Maybe i will make it a bit stronger tho, will see!

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!
