Wide view of the frozen lands of Tema: a vast icy biome with snow covered mountains, frozen lakes, and wind-swept tundra. The scene feels desolate yet majestic, hinting at ancient history beneath the ice.

Shield Charge v2 is here! 🛡️ Auto-deflects most projectiles 🛡️ Drags enemies along with Zura 🛡️ Ends with a big “swat” bash (still counts as Block/Parry). Question 🚨 Does this capture the fantasy of an unstoppable shield? #pixelart | #indiedev | #IndieGameDev | #ドット絵 | #gamedev | #metroidvania

Not long ago, a dear friend of ours said goodbye to their beloved dog, Mochi. 🐾 She wasn’t just a pet, she was a guardian, a companion, and a light in the lives she touched. Her story, of love, loss, and healing, is captured beautifully in a video our friend created. 🧵 [1]
