After 5 years of development, it's finally happening: I'm releasing #Archrebel's demo on Steam on October 16th, so you can experience the mechanics I've been tinkering with for more than a decade, heavily inspired by REBELSTAR and LASER SQUAD. #gamedev #indiegamedev

#Archrebel is probably the most heartfelt tribute to the classic REBELSTAR and LASER SQUAD games created by Julian Gollop. This demo is a complete short game, and you can easily put 20+ hours into it if you plan to see it all. #gamedev #Indiegamedev

I've add new tutorial entries to #Archrebel, for the new mechanics, and I've grouped them by type. There's currently about 40 entries made of 120+ videos. This video showcases some of them. All of them are voiced. #gamedev #indiegamedev

Dear tactics players. I'm still fixing bugs and improving the experience on #Archrebel's upcoming Steam demo, which will be a small full mini-game (4-6h of content). I'll let you guys know the release date as soon I feel the game is solid for playing. #gamedev #indiegamedev

Hello @kriegsfront.bsky.social and thanks for hosting this week's #TurnBasedThursday! 🍻 I consider #Archrebel a reincarnation of and a follow-up to two classics: Rebelstar and Laser Squad, even though it's influenced by other Gollop titles as well. #gamedev #indiegamedev

My wife keeps testing #Archrebel's second demo, playing it on the TV through a mini PC. Thanks to her, I've nailed down more than 100 bugs over the 60 days. And, another bug was discovered in this screenie; the minimap is not being loaded correctly. Sighs... #gamedev #Indiegamedev

Thx for Hosting!🥳 One week ago I released #ruinsOfCalaworm to the public. It is based on an early 90s obscure German cult game, think "Puzzle Game with Emergent Backstabbing" (a.k.a. #roguelike DNA): no builds, no ranged combat, just You and the Dungeon, bumping into Witches and Eldritch Horrors.

Doors no longer keep you safe in #Archrebel. The AI now can tear through doors that get in their way. I'm not pleased with the SFX, and the effects of the door's destruction will be reworked. "You can run, but hiding is no longer an option..." #gamedev #indiegamedev

My wife has been testing #Archrebel extensively for the last weeks. She pointed out that one can easily miss the bonus stage if not paying attention. Hopefully this will do the trick for everyone else. Turn audio on for the full effect. #gamedev #indiegamedev

With the level system coming in for #Archrebel, some UI additions happened. Also, hopefully people won't forget to use shields, now with their available number of charges visible on the unit bar too. #gamedev #indiegamedev
