Also, "ethical AI", "AI regulations", "regulated AI" or any variation should set off alarm bells, at least for now. Right now, those terms are used by AI companies to legally "regulate" themselves, which usually means forcing an oligopoly and monopsony for data brokerage, among other things

There is no such thing as ethical use of AI. Not when it's built on stolen works, uses slave labour (exploited workers in Africa, particularly Kenya), environmentally destructive, dehomed or rehomed people due to dara centee buildouts etc...

The closest thing this game will have to a mill card (and hence, aggressive blue/purple card) #cardgames #indieboardgames #gamedev #warlockgame

as per usual, the cards ^^

Snurly @snurlsss.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

This card is called mass discard. guess what it does.

Snurly @snurlsss.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

I'd like to think it is 😆 the game is available on TTS or as a print and play on itchio! it's made with specifically 4 players in mind though, so do keep that in mind ^^

Snurly @snurlsss.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Good question! When you play cards of the same colour within a round, a bonus effect happens! The game doesn't have a traditional resource system (mana, land, energy etc...), but I wanted players to still think about if they should play a card or not, hence the colour combos ^^

the cards, per usual. This one is a fetch card, which noticeably slows down the speed of a turn, but I'm not sure if there's an elegant solution to it...

Snurly @snurlsss.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

da goat... probably the most aggressive card in the game #cardgames #indieboardgames #gamedev #warlockgame

and the cards, per usual ^^

an aggressive colour combo of yellow and red! was super fun doing the gestural pose of this one ^^ #cardgames #indieboardgames #gamedev #warlockgame

Oh yeah SLAUGHTER VOID is also part of the sale for a mere $7, which is actually like $6 if you get it with CROSSBOW: Bloodnight. There's like... 16 bundles you can pick from, lots of dark fantasy slashy goodness. Hotline Miami filtered through a Conan arcade game. #indiedev s.team/a/3333980

What I am proud of, though, is the mechanical design of the card (what it does), as I think it turns colours on their heads, making yellow/blue stronger when usually red/purple are!

Snurly @snurlsss.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Another 4 colour card! I'm actually not too proud of this one, but I didn't want to spend too much time agonising over it. That, and I try to do all of these in about 60 minutes and this was pushing that since i erased and redrew so much... #cardgames #indieboardgames #gamedev #warlockgame

oops! forgot to post these here yesterday but these are the cards!

Snurly @snurlsss.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Draw From Void is a defensive card, which means in only comes in Blue and Purple. #cardgames #indieboardgames #gamedev #warlockgame

1143

Snurly @snurlsss.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

as usual, here's the art in the cards themselves ^^ remember, if any of these look interesting the game is free! just head over to itch.io or TableTop Simulator workshop and type "A Very Cool Warlock Game"!

Snurly @snurlsss.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Some cards, like Chthonic Control, are strong but rare, making up 4 out of the possible 144 cards you can draw. Also, let me know if you're curious to see what the old art/format looked like! #cardgames #indieboardgames #gamedev #warlockgame

sometimes it feels like a lot of normal people conceptualize an "artist" as a superposition of both A. a super wealthy fine art elite who does low effort abstract art nobody understands B. someone magically born with the art talent gene even though A is 0.000001% of artists and B is not a thing

Snurly @snurlsss.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

There's 4! The blood cards I posted yesterday are all the colours. Red/Yellow are more aggressive, while Blue/Purple are more defensive

Snurly @snurlsss.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

And here are the cards for context ^^

000

Snurly @snurlsss.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Some cards come in multiple colours, but not necessarily all colours! Blood Feud is one such card, which only comes in Red and Yellow, the 2 most aggressive colours in the game! #cardgames #indieboardgames #gamedev #warlockgame

Snurly @snurlsss.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

And in case you're wondering what the art looks like in context, with the stickers... here ya go! :D

Snurly @snurlsss.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Gonna start posting some art from that Warlock Game, starting with this one! This one is for 'Blood', a basic card type that comes in all 4 colours! #cardgames #indieboardgames #gamedev #warlockgame

Some icons for the game 'Dreamdose'! Instead of using the same palette as the minigames, these icons have their own palette that reflects the generic OS running behind the scenes of everything, with a palette of 255 colours instead of the games' 15 #gamedev #gameart #pixelart #ドット絵 #icons

A series of pixel art icons made to represent various things in the game, such as enemy modifiers, items, and available minigames.

I'll be posting art related to this game very soon too! and if you're interested in playing this online via TTS, hmu and I'll see what I can do about that

A variety of tilesets/tileable assets I made for a variety of minigames in 'Dreamdose'! Some minigames are top down, while others are side-view #gamedev #gameart #pixelart #ドット絵 #tileset

Blue and purple pixel art depicting a variety of tilesets

thanks! and yea it was (is?) a very visually fun project, if not a little abstract, but I think it adds a little bit of personality/flair :D

Snurly @snurlsss.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Some of the larger assets I made for a minigame in 'Dreamdose' called 'Love n War'. The bombs and tanks serve as the enemy in this game! #gamedev #gameart #pixelart #ドット絵 #bomb #tank

A large, dark blue bomb, and a series of smaller tank sprites.
The blue tank sprites are more akin to a regular tank, while the pink tank sprites are absurdist in nature, featuring a face where the cannon would be.

Recently had the opportunity to work on an indie game, internally known as Dreamdose. The game still isn't out yet, but at least my part in it is done! I'll try and post what I've done here! #gamedev #gameart #pixelart #ドット絵 #pinball
