While a lot of things I'm going for are (imo) improvements, having no bombs at all in a bullet hell definitely is deliberately breaking a genre convention. It stems from me personally not liking bombing in Shmups, in short, it becomes a button you use less and less the better you get. #indiedev

I feel you. Switched to Linux on my laptop because it's getting "older" and its great when it works, but when it doesn't it's really not. Difficult trade off

If you're not using asbestos yet, you are being left behind. Everyone is using asbestos, there's no point in trying to fight it. Asbestos is the future.

youtu.be/dxrjNIvwqEg?... My highlight this GC was Warding Witches, actually a German Bullet Hell with an interesting shield mechanic (instead of traditional bombs) that freezes surrounding bullets. Had a little chat with the dev, too, and they absolutely know their shit. Big recommendation!

Ich war auch am Battlewrights Stand und habe es ausprobiert. Platformer sind normalerweise nicht soo meins, aber der Multiplayer war wirklich lustig! Und eine Singleplayer gibt es auch. Und die Musik ist von @sonorode.com ist fantastisch!

More Soundtrack stuff! Here's ORIGINAL vs ARRANGE for stage 1. (try it at gamescom!!) really proud of how the ORIGINAL version came out, I tried to capture the CAVE vibes but in my own style. Which one do you like more for bullet hell action? #wardingwitches #edm #vgm #gamedev #indiedev

I'm all merched up for gamescom!! It's always such a pleasure to reward the players with a lil' sumthin' to take home with! the shirts aren't merch, I'll wear those on some of the days but there's a few extra I could sell at cost - hit me up on discord if you're interested. #wardingwitches #gc2026

Just recently finished up most of my ARRANGE soundtracks for #wardingwitches. the game will have 2 distinct styles of soundtrack, ORIGINAL and ARRANGE! I'm an EDM⚡producer on the side, so the ARRANGE versions WILL punch your eardrums! Which style do you like better for MENU? #gamedev #edm #vgm

Sonorode | Warding Witches @sonorode.com · 10/08/2026

one thing I absolutely love about (solo) game development is the use of free will, artistically like when do you ever get to make Hardcore Techno for a game!? it's euphoric

Sonorode | Warding Witches @sonorode.com · 07/08/2026

No way! I used to compete in FGs too but kinda lost my passion during COVID unfortunately. Looking at tokon reminds me of umvc3 so I am curious as to how that compares!! Can't wait to get my hands on it too - what you said sounds promising actually

🧹 Warding Witches von @sonorode.com Klassisches Bullet Hell trifft auf modernes Design – Ausweichen, Blocken und perfektes Timing entscheiden über Sieg oder Niederlage. Mehr unter: wardingwitches.sonorode.com

Werbegrafik für das Videospiel „WARDING WITCHES“ am Stand von „Games/Bavaria“ auf der Gamescom 2026.

Oben steht auf dunklem Grund „GAMES/BAVARIA AT GAMESCOM 2026“. Das zentrale Bild zeigt eine Anime-Illustration von zwei Hexen, die gemeinsam auf einem Holzbesen durch den Himmel fliegen: Im Vordergrund sitzt eine rothaarige Hexe mit großem, schwarzem Hexenhut und dunkelgrauem Kleid. Dahinter sitzt eine blauhaarige Hexe mit Brille in weißem Outfit. Vor dem blauen, leicht bewölkten Himmel prangt im Vordergrund der geschwungene, weiße Schriftzug „Warding Witches“ mit lila-pinker Umrandung.

Im weißen Kasten darunter steht der Titel „WARDING WITCHES“ und darunter das Entwicklerstudio „SONORODE“.

Am unteren Rand befindet sich auf dunklem Grund die Stand-Info: „PLAY ME AT HALL 10.2 | BOOTH E051G“.
