Veilkeeper is a tactical RPG where your army shrinks the deeper you push. You lead expeditions into unstable rifts, and every soldier assigned to hold a relay cannot fight in the next battle. The Play NYC demo is a three-fight run: draft six units, then choose one to leave behind between each battle

Veilkeeper is coming to PlayNYC. See you there!

Veilkeeper has its first official key art. Created by Falsemind of falsemindstudios.com, this piece captures the image I’ve had in my head for the game: the Veilkeeper overlooking the city as the rift tears open above it. Really happy to finally share this. #gamedev #indiedev #veilkeeperdev

Veilkeeper Game @veilkeepergame.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

Before and current. Veilkeeper’s deployment phase already worked mechanically, but the presentation still felt like a prototype. The latest pass adds a real battlefield, clearer deployment boundaries, and a stronger first impression for new players. #gamedev #indiedev #veilkeeperdev

A metroidvania with arcade and exploration areas; use finite subweapons for advanced movement, difficulty from casual up to souls-bourne-ring. Customize with equipment: build your town, complete quests - trouble on a stage? Enjoy infinite lives; no game overs here! @hordeofviscount.bsky.social

I completely agree. Most of the gameplay systems came together faster than making them feel intuitive. A lot of the recent work has been less about adding features and more about making the game understandable the moment someone picks it up.

000

Veilkeeper Game @veilkeepergame.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

New players shouldn't have to guess what a unit does before choosing it. Veilkeeper's draft screen now has unit cards showing role, strengths, weaknesses, and a short tactical overview. Small UI changes like this make the first battle much easier to understand. #veilkeeperdev #gamedev #indiedev

Veilkeeper Game @veilkeepergame.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

First impressions matter. Here's Veilkeeper's title screen a few weeks apart. The core combat loop is done, so I'm shifting toward polish. Small improvements like this are helping the game become the vision I've had in my head. #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

0104

Veilkeeper Game @veilkeepergame.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

Another step toward Alpha. The combat loop is now complete, so I've started polishing the player's first impression—the title screen. Still plenty of work ahead, but it's rewarding to see Veilkeeper becoming more and more like the game I've had in my head. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

Veilkeeper Game @veilkeepergame.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

The world of Veilkeeper is starting to take shape. This is the first colored concept for the game's key art, exploring the contrast between the amber light of the home shard and the purple energy of the rift. veilkeepergame.com/devlog/post?... #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #veilkeeperdev

A Veilkeeper stands on a balcony overlooking the city as an amber staff faces a glowing purple rift in the night sky.

Veilkeeper Game @veilkeepergame.bsky.social · 21/06/2026

Veilkeeper now has a complete gameplay loop. Not the flashiest milestone, but an important one. The project can now be launched, played, completed, and restarted. It's starting to feel like a game instead of a collection of systems. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Veilkeeper victory screen prototype. A tactical battle map is visible in the background with pixel-art units and a grid. A dark overlay displays a centered "Victory" message with buttons for "Restart Battle" and "Quit." This screen appears after completing a battle and demonstrates the game's end-of-match flow.

Maybe a bit of the mysterious vibe from it but a very different gameplay experience!

Veilkeeper Game @veilkeepergame.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

Key art is officially underway. Excited to be collaborating with falsemindstudios.com on the visual direction for the project. Still early, but it already captures a lot of the mood: quiet scale, isolation, and the rift looming overhead. Excited to share more as it develops. #gamedev #indiedev

$A hooded figure stands alone on a stone balcony overlooking a fractured landscape beneath a star-filled sky. The figure holds a glowing staff emitting soft purple light toward a massive rift suspended overhead. The artwork is a rough atmospheric concept sketch using grayscale tones with vivid purple highlights, emphasizing isolation, mystery, and scale.$

Veilkeeper Game @veilkeepergame.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

Still figuring out how far to push contrast vs readability here. Curious what people notice first

010

Veilkeeper Game @veilkeepergame.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

Starting to define Veilkeeper’s visual identity. Moved from grayscale into color using the amber / purple palette. Focusing on readability + consistency across UI icons. First set that feels like it belongs together. veilkeepergame.com/devlog/post?... #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #veilkeeperdev

Veilkeeper Game @veilkeepergame.bsky.social · 19/04/2026

Fixed a subtle issue in my tag system: Typos didn’t break anything—they just silently failed. “pooison” = no poison effect, no error. Now all tags are validated at startup against a master list. Flexible system, but with safety. #gamedev #indiedev #veilkeeperdev

Art of the Veil #1 Learning pixel art as I build Veilkeeper. First original asset — a selection crystal for the combat grid. Started rough. Ended with something I’m actually proud of. #veilkeeperdev #gamedev #indiedev

Two grayscale pixel art crystals on a dark background. Left shows an early rough version, right shows a refined version with improved shading and shape, used as a tile selection indicator in a tactical RPG.

How fast you can move around in it seems satisfying! Do you ever run into issues of not knowing what your attacks are and what are the enemies at the moment?

120

Veilkeeper Game @veilkeepergame.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

I haven't seen a lot of tower defense games spawn so many enemies at once. Did you run into problems having them render properly? It's an interesting mechanic.

Turn readability improvements. • Units dim after acting • Clearer enemy turn flow Combat is getting easier to read. Devlog: veilkeepergame.com/devlog/post?slug=devlog-05

Veilkeeper Game @veilkeepergame.bsky.social · 06/04/2026

These are great suggestions, especially the attack grid color and turn order. Right now everything is still very early, but improving readability is definitely something that is going to be worked on as the core gameplay is in place.

000

Veilkeeper Game @veilkeepergame.bsky.social · 06/04/2026

Combat is now working. Units can attack, take damage, and be defeated. The first full combat interaction is now in place. Devlog 04: veilkeepergame.com/devlog/post?... #veilkeeperdev #indiedev #godot

Absolutely, I’d love to hear them. Early feedback is really helpful, even if I can’t implement everything.

Thanks! This is early pre-alpha footage. UI and controls are still coming. Currently planned for PC, with other platforms possible later.

It's coming along nicely. Looks much smoother than it did around a month ago when I first saw your game show up on my feed. Is the tutorial UI new?

The fun part about that is people might not notice them specifically but they'd notice after if it was gone. Love the cat paw on the corner!

Alt: Full rest, but roll a d6 - something small and weird sticks around.

010

Veilkeeper Game @veilkeepergame.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

Spicy mystery soup. Full rest but for the first x (maybe random number between 1 and 4) turns the unit can only do basic actions (attack, move etc)

Veilkeeper Game @veilkeepergame.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

Veilkeeper is a tactical RPG where your army shrinks the deeper you push. Venture into unstable rifts. Leave units behind to maintain your connection. Build a shard worth returning to. How far can you go before the line breaks? In development — veilkeepergame.com
