As a Swede, it's hard not to be inspired by the works of John Bauer. So, early in the development of KreatureKind, I told my artist "I would like a John Bauer troll, that is also an online troll". I think she did a great job, how about you? 😊 #indiedev #gamedev #folklore

One day I will understand why people go out of their way to post reviews like this, but it is not this day. Just cringe tbh 🤷 I've always been open with how much I'm happy to hear feedback and improve the game accordingly, but good faith never laid eyes on this post. #indiegames #gamedev #cringe

While I'm still committed to keep working on KreatureKind and release more updates, I've spent some time this summer on a new prototype 🤫 Super duper early concept still but, what are y'alls opinions on bees, beekeeping and mead? 🤔🐝 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #prototype

I'm playing around with a new design for the cards in KreatureKind, to make them easier to read and also help with grammar in other languages than English. What do you think? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #cardbattler

One of the most unique opponents in KreatureKind is the Doppelganger, because they take on the visuals of whoever is in the middle slot of your party which means I had to give them unique code ✨ Have you met them yet? #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev

Hair, textiles etc in KreatureKind are given life with shaders, primarily relying on a package called "AllIn1SpriteShader". For example, Riley's hair has a bit of a wave and a warp distortion to it 🌬️👩‍🦱 #gamedev #madewithunity #indiedev

Due to getting in the crosshairs of a youtube video, my comments on YouTube and Steam look like this right now. It's honestly just sad that people spend so much time being angry on the internet 🤷 (and objectuvely wrong - zero tax dollars was spent on KreatureKind bro 😂) #gamedev #indiedev

I'm getting positve feedback on the animations in KreatureKind, and it makes me so grateful and happy 🙈 They could not be more basic - I'm using Unity's built-in animation system, with characters' body parts parented to each other. Hair etc comes to life with shaders! #gamedev #animation #indiedev

Tomorrow is Midsummer, so as a Swede I'm winding down and taking some time off with loved ones. I hope you all have a great time - wear flowers in your hair and enjoy the changing of the seasons 🌞🌸🌺🌼 (or like, throw some snowballs if you're in the southern hemisphere) #gamedev #midsummer #sweden

While gender and sexuality doesn't really matter in KreatureKind, I added each character's flag(s) when designing them. Because if it doesn't matter, then why not got for it? 🤷

You're making Quinn blush! 🙈☺️ This genderfluid fairy spends more on cosplay material than should probably be legal, and if they didn't fly, they would probably step on stray D4s daily. Sliiiightly unhinged, they will debate anyone - including their team mates 😬 #gamedev #indiegame #cozygame

A player informed me that one of the character names in KreatureKind was culturally insensitive, and I have now changed it. Clearly, I did not do my research well enough. Never hesitate to give me and other creators feedback like this, I really appreciate it!

Another QoL feature coming soon - it was a little hard to see which character was being targeted with a controller, so I added an arrow. It changes color with the card 😁 store.steampowered.com/app/1428090/... #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

💡A central concept in KreatureKind is the colors of the HP bar - the Hypotheses. If you match the color of the segments with your cards, they will have a greater effect, as the character is vulnerable to that type! store.steampowered.com/app/1428090/... #indiegames #gamedev #cozygame
