theinfamousmrmeow.itch.io/project-onyx I've got it playable if anyone would be so kind as to give it a whirl! I tend to go blind to things like "make the game make sense at all", very interested in any and all impressions folks have. 3-5 minutes of stuff #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Messing around with some vehicle concepts. Been reading the Nausicaa manga, all in on big chonky tanks right now. I don't hate how the spritestacks look against the rest of the world actually. Needs shadows and stuff, but I could see that tank rolling around. #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart

Been hacking away at this one a bit. Morale rules affect battles a ton! Should have a tiny playable alpha soon. #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev #indiegame youtu.be/Ojr-4JBqxd4

Made Scimitars and a melee combat system. All weapons can Bash, and any two melee attacks colliding is a Clang! Melee weapons have a Flourish though, where a successful hit gives you a much shorter recovery for follow ups. #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

So this is maybe getting out of hand. Halo-based AI with limited knowledge/senses/barks Ticket-based battles ala Battlefront. Gameplay is a Nuclear Throne/Halo lovechild. My collaborator rigged sick procgen for big maps. Should I finish this game????? #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #wip #indiegame

Iterating on a world map and realized I pretty much just made Europe. Trying to make it less Europe as I go. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

theinfamousmrmeow @theinfamousmrmeow.itch.io · 14/09/2026

back at it again. Rigged a bunch of new under the hood unnecessary stuff. Finally getting an overworld set up in LDTK! Need to "ROUNDIFY" the world. I think I'm gonna attempt BOTW fallen star beacons for the POIs you haven't cleared yet #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

Dual Grid systems make me want to actually weep. This is like 100 lines of code, 3 different 16-tile tilesets. Literally no custom handling of transitions from one terrain to another. I have bludgeoned myself against autotilers and handling custom tilesets for I think maybe actual decades.

theinfamousmrmeow @theinfamousmrmeow.itch.io · 08/09/2026

My partner in crime has gotten this awesome procgen rigged up! Gives us some really very cool terrain creation and variation. Now we're stitching together some autotiling and tilesets to do the visual smoothing step. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #pixelart #gamemaker

theinfamousmrmeow @theinfamousmrmeow.itch.io · 05/09/2026

The fact that I have to dig to find single-player FPS games that have come out in the last decade with vehicles as a real part of their core gameplay is a microcosm of the state of this fucking industry.

theinfamousmrmeow @theinfamousmrmeow.itch.io · 04/09/2026

Messing around a bit more. AIs attempt to not shoot their friendlies now, and react to a few more battlefield events directly. Side effect that AIs in the back tend to throw grenades more often now, since they don't have a shot to commit to. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #gamemaker #indiegame

theinfamousmrmeow @theinfamousmrmeow.itch.io · 01/09/2026

So I was a little worried about it in the VM build, but with the YYC build I get super smooth play even on a 24v24 match. Ignore the guy stuck in the corner, he's fine. #indiedev #gamedev #gamemaker #pixelart #indiegames

theinfamousmrmeow @theinfamousmrmeow.itch.io · 30/08/2026

So I did this on accident while rigging up the mode7 overworld, but I think maybe I accidentally started making Axelay #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev #indiegame #shmup #stg #screenshotsaturday

theinfamousmrmeow @theinfamousmrmeow.itch.io · 25/08/2026

I've had a recent bout of nostalgia for the `Team Deathmatch With Bots` era of gaming so I dusted off this project to see how hard it would be to rig up. Going for a halo-ish combat loop. Might see if I can make something out of it at some point. #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #indiegames

theinfamousmrmeow @theinfamousmrmeow.itch.io · 23/07/2026

Why yes, my shmup did need a full mode 7 overworld system, why do you ask #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #shmup #gamemaker

theinfamousmrmeow @theinfamousmrmeow.itch.io · 21/07/2026

My bullshit, back on it, I am. Considering mode 7 overworld for Moonbeam Mayhem! #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

0.4.0 - Danger & Debriefs - Moonbeam Mayhem theinfamousmrmeow.itch.io/moonbeam-may... New version up! There's now a "bookend" to your runs, if you will, in the form of this actual book that records how you did. #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #gamemaker

0242

theinfamousmrmeow @theinfamousmrmeow.itch.io · 16/07/2026

Ton of work past couple days! I got lots of feedback from folks about the difficulty curve being more of a mountain. Danger now has some elasticity, so you get less spawn dogpiling at earlier Stages, but it still ramps up through a stage. #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #roguelite #indiegames

Just finished up the UI for items! The CT scan-y effect for the seal was a random decision that ended up being one of our favorite things we've done :) #indiegame #gamedev #godot

0.3.0 - SHOCKING MENUS - Moonbeam Mayhem theinfamousmrmeow.itch.io/moonbeam-may... SHOCKING MENUS Added Lightning Serpent Scroll. More menus, and settings options! Pause on world map! Bugs Squashed. Wyrmling enemy added. Focused on playability this release!

theinfamousmrmeow @theinfamousmrmeow.itch.io · 12/07/2026

Little clip of Moonbeam Mayhem gameplay for #screenshotsaturday! I have a handful of segmented-type enemies planned and the green Wyrmlings here are the first test. #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #shmup #roguelike

theinfamousmrmeow @theinfamousmrmeow.itch.io · 10/07/2026

Finishing up the new Lightning Serpent scroll for Moonbeam Mayhem, heavily inspired by Raiden's Noodle Laser. Throwing the Firestorm was completely unnecessary. Gotta do a gif with all 3 scrolls soon 🔥⚡❄️ #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #shmup #indiegame

Trying to do the Raiden Toothpaste Beam for the last scroll in moonbeam mayhem. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

theinfamousmrmeow @theinfamousmrmeow.itch.io · 08/07/2026

I think that might be it haha. Blizzard Scroll damages all enemies on the screen, and turns any it defeat into Ice Blocks you can shoot to shatter into more ice-shots! #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #shmup #indiegame #gamemaker

0.2.0 - ICE TO SEE YOU - Moonbeam Mayhem theinfamousmrmeow.itch.io/moonbeam-may... New scroll, lots of playability / sound / particle / visual feedback, and lots of small tweaks based on player feedback. Thanks a ton to everyone who has playtested so far! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #indiegame

0.2.0 - ICE TO SEE YOU

ICE TO SEE YOU Added Blizzard scroll. Player bullets faster. More sound feedback! Items fall slower. Lots of playability tweaks. Small display bug fixes...

Working on some vfx for the Blizzard Scroll! I think it needs to clear bullets too, or maybe convert them to YOUR bullets? (ice-spikes?) Enemies killed become Ice-Blocks? #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #shmup

theinfamousmrmeow @theinfamousmrmeow.itch.io · 04/07/2026

Pretty happy with where Moonbeam Mayhem is! You select a stage from the world map, fight through waves of shmup enemies, select upgrades, collect Familiars and consumable Scrolls in a bid to make it to the final Moon battle! #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #pixelart #indiegame #shmup #stg

theinfamousmrmeow @theinfamousmrmeow.itch.io · 03/07/2026

Moonbeam Mayhem demo is up on Itch io: tinyurl.com/3rmbcp6w A witchy shmup where you traverse the (flat?) world, clear stages of Moonbeast invaders, choose upgrades and prepare for the final battle on the moon! Any feedback helps a ton! #shmup #roguelike #indiegame #gamedev #gamemaker #indiedev

theinfamousmrmeow @theinfamousmrmeow.itch.io · 03/07/2026

OK! The Witchling will get three types of scrolls, here I'm testing the Inferno scrolls, very inspired by Raiden's bombs! I think I want an elemental Fire / Storm / Ice for the 3 scrolls maybe? #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #shmup #stg #roguelike #indiegame

1223

theinfamousmrmeow @theinfamousmrmeow.itch.io · 03/07/2026

Alright, the game is taking its final shape here! The Witchling has three major tools - Wand, upgradeable firepower - Lantern, a regenerating shield/bullet crash/bullet sealer - Scroll stack, bombs for all occasions #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart #shmup #stg #Nintendo #console #indiedev

0.0.1 - Hello Moon Update - Moonbeam Mayhem theinfamousmrmeow.itch.io/moonbeam-may... Patch notes! Feedback forms! MM has it all, if it all is those two things. Trying to get a feedback and iteration rhythm going, starting to use itchio as the hub! #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

EYYYY! theinfamousmrmeow.github.io/asteria2/ Rigged up github actions to spit out patch notes when I update the codebase. Eventually this'll move to my raspberry pi Jenkins + theinfamousmrmeow.com Now to rig the game-client side check + update check #gamedev #indiedev

BACK AT IT AGAIN Some player feedback! Made the Shadowbats easier to see with a little spooky purple outline Castlevania 1 style, made the DANGER indicators bigger and louder, and fixed a bunch of bugs! ITS ALMOST A REAL GAME FOLKS #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #shmup #stg #indiegame

theinfamousmrmeow @theinfamousmrmeow.itch.io · 27/06/2026

It was a bit of an "eat your veggies" task, but got the Danger! indicators working as single-point rather than whole-side-indicators. Works better for the way monsters actually enter in this game. Now to make them bigger and flashier! #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #shmup #stg #indiegame

theinfamousmrmeow @theinfamousmrmeow.itch.io · 27/06/2026

Shoutout to the time I figured out how to do XBLA-era bloom + blur in GameMaker lol. Might do a more subtle version of this for the Moonbeam Mayhem world map. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #2006

theinfamousmrmeow @theinfamousmrmeow.itch.io · 25/06/2026

I had a sort of epiphany about this game the other night. I think its pretty alright actually, it just needs to be about 5 times as kinetic, and I need to probably abandon the deckbuilding idea. Give it more chaos, more bounce, more energy. #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #indiegames

1212

theinfamousmrmeow @theinfamousmrmeow.itch.io · 22/06/2026

Continuing to to build out the world map for my shmup! Needs more oomph, but have a "Stage Start" + Stage Name toast now. Need some kinda big fancy script for the Stage Name I think. #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #shmup #stg #indiegame

2457

theinfamousmrmeow @theinfamousmrmeow.itch.io · 21/06/2026

Back on Moonbeam Mayhem! Continuing to make the world map more grokkable. There's now some simulated gravity so you can't just fly off into the cosmos and get horrible, irrevocably lost. #pixelart #indiegames #gamedev #shmup #stg #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

theinfamousmrmeow @theinfamousmrmeow.itch.io · 18/06/2026

Got Quest for Camelot working! Man, I despised this game as a kid. You had a save item you could use from the item menu at any time, but it costs 30 coins to use. Also it has an attract mode, for some reason. Cave tiles are not bad tho #retrogaming #gameboy #gamedev

0151

theinfamousmrmeow @theinfamousmrmeow.itch.io · 17/06/2026

Got kinda stuck on how I might handle the outer loop in Moonbeam Mayhem, and how to have it be diegetically grokkable. I think I like the Moondrops idea, we'll see how it looks in game. #indiedev #gamedev

Good news! Got a setup working to play my GB collection on a real SNES! Bad news: only Caesar's Palace and Wario Land work. Off to YouTube to figure out how to clean contacts to save Final Fantasy Adventure #retrogames #gaming
