I am trying to make @vampiretacticsgame.bsky.social the most beautiful pixel art game I can. The moonlight floods into the halls of the castle, the raindrops hit the window, dripple down and you can even see their reflections in the marble. All works correctly with parallax. I love pixel Shaders <3

I just had a lot of fun programming a pixelart caustics reflection effect shader. This was far more complex than I anticipated, but in the end came out just as I hoped. Maybe I will use it in Vampire Tactics. It's so fresh when you have characters standing next to water and it shows on them.

Yesterday evening I programmed a proper lightning effect. Imagine it's raining, thundering and then the scene just lights up for a split second. This is purely programmatically handled, but is at the intersection of art & code. The magic always happens when 2 different disciplines come together.

Meet Vampire Tactics' Botchling (also known as the Poroniec in Slavic mythology). These little flying foes might just be some of the most annoying enemies you’ll face in the game. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Simple villagers who try to stand against a vampire necromancer usually become one of their ghouls and enjoy the eternity of the night. Character for @vampiretacticsgame.bsky.social #pixelart #indiedev

This veteran lieutenant is no stranger to the darkness. Armed with a silver blade, he has felled terrors throughout his long years of service. Leading a platoon of royal soldiers, he stands firm against the creatures of the night. For @vampiretacticsgame.bsky.social

I am working on some unit sprite animations for a teaser for Vampire Tactics. So I hand-animated this 16 frame idle for the Pikeman, who you might have already spotted in earlier screenshots of the game. He is now just idling around & hoping to not meet any vampires!

I just designed some unit evolutions for the "Fledgling" unit of Vampire Tactics. It's a rather fast close combat fighter with moderate defenses. Now I only need some cool class names. Do you any cool ideas how to name this units promotions? #gamedev #indiedev

Vampire Tactics Sketchbook Poroniec Today I felt a bit nostalgic for the time I worked on Blasphemous, so I channeld some of that same energy into new Vampire Tactics concept-art. Meet the Poroniec, they are nasty little nightmares.

Would you like to know the secret behind our character design? If you do, here's our confession. It's always been ITERATION😉 1️⃣ Ideation: Sketching the direction. 2️⃣ Refinement: Adjusting pose & gear. 3️⃣ Translation: Sketch to pixel art. 4️⃣ Polishing: Pixel-by-pixel detail. #gamedev #pixelart

One piece of feedback we received during the prototype playtests was that players weren't sure who attacks whom on the following turn. We implemented following changes to fix it: - Trajectory rendering - Attack path highlighting We hope you will like it 🤞 #indiedev #madewithunity #Pixelart #ドット絵
