Mermaid's dress, a wyrm!? 🧜‍♀️ Perhaps it is indeed time to flee... (In Sunflowers, never worry about the old "failed to run away" mechanic of ages past! If you want to escape, do so with confidence!) #IndieDev #RPG #JRPG #Fantasy #VideoGames #IndieGames #Indie #TurnBased #RetroGames

One thing we've been working on lately is adding subtle shading off of walls and objects in interior areas, to add a "popup/storybook" feel to the 2D art. Left: Wedelia's Home (Steam demo). Right: Current dev build with new shading. #IndieGame #JRPG #RetroGames #VideoGames #IndieDev #Fantasy

I'm not sure on that to be honest, it's more of a decentralized event with all sorts of streamers participating on their own schedule. Probably best to look at @kr-wells.bsky.social's profile to find info on the streamers participating to see what games they highlighted :).

A popular request from demo players is a map to help locate key areas. We didn't want to create a minimap as we think they take away from the excitement of discovery in RPGs. So we built something handmade for each area :). #IndieGames #ScreenshotSaturday #JRPG #RetroGames #Fantasy #VideoGames

This monster also only appears in battle sequences, and while the battles are semi-real-time (our battle system is similar to older Final Fantasy Games), there isn't anything being processed but the battle itself while this guy is around :).

@gamebrief.bsky.social All of them are displayed simultaneously, though not necessarily all moving or being stretched at the same time, so it doesn't cause any FPS drops or anything like that.

It is also not just having less HP, as well! Some spells have additional effects or deal more damage if your HP is high :).

Sunflowers and the Goddess of Death @sgodgame.bsky.social · 31/05/2026
Hi there! Some of the Bloodbranded's spells scale in power with his current HP, others have additional effects dependent on his HP. As an example, one spell drains life if the Bloodbranded's HP is less than 50% of his max, allowing manipulation of your HP total through class abilities alone :).

From the DoT stacking/consuming Abyssal Lord, to the Bloodbranded whose spells can change based on his HP, each of our 12 character classes is unique to our world. How will you stand in the face of death? #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieGame #JRPG #IndieGames #Fantasy #RPG #RetroGames #IndieDev
