Halt! If you were thinking of picking up our indie #visualnovel The Siege of Jeomdo on Steam, maybe hold your horses! We've heard tell on the wind: A sale is approaching...

Your sworn enemy offers to pledge fealty to you. Can you trust him? Does he even deserve the chance? #indiegame #visualnovel

Still learning a lot working in 3D. We tried taking our own photos for concrete textures. They're nice and gritty - perhaps TOO gritty, distracting the eye from what should be plain and easy to take in. Also not sure how to make the seams less obvious. 🤔 #indiegamedev #madewithunity #blender

When your village doctor is killed in war, how do you comfort the youths who must now take his place? How could they possibly be ready? #IndieGame #visualnovel

Seems like importing Blender animations to Unity is pretty easy. It basically worked right out of the box! :O #IndieGameDev #blender

Concept art from our #indiegame The Siege of Jeomdo: The first drawing of Dokgo Sun and his final design. It's unusual to almost nail it on the first try! If only every character came so easily... 😩

Sometimes learning 3D modelling makes you want to reach for a bottle (of water) (this is a reminder to hydrate)

Studio Hip Sword @studiohipsword.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Here's Pema from our #indiegame The Siege of Jeomdo! She's the protagonist's sweetheart - from a time long since passed... It occurred to us that you never do get a full view of her outfit in the final game, nor do you see it in colour. 😮 So this pic is quite the scoop! Isn't she so elegant? 🥰

Art of a school teacher character who didn't end up making the cut for our indie #visualnovel The Siege of Jeomdo. This iteration barely looks older than the students he'd teach! You can tell this is from early in development; We hadn't even stopped drawing the eye-whites!

We're slowly dipping our toes into 3D! Our lead artist has been experimenting with modelling in Blender 👀 #IndieDevs #blender

Scouts are an invaluable asset in war. After all, you cannot fight an unseen enemy. Of course, knowledge is its own burden... #indiegame #TheSiegeOfJeomdo

A small militia can't protect everywhere at once. As a commander, the impossible is asked of you anyway. Do you answer with a yes? If so - what if you can't keep your promise? If not, how can you expect loyalty? #indiegame

Studio Hip Sword @studiohipsword.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

A leader must choose wisely. That includes spending valuable resources where they're most needed... 🤔 The Siege of Jeomdo is available now on Steam! #indiegame
