A cool little concept that got left in the R&D dungeon earlier this year. I think it might make a great #RPGmaker title one of these days. 2026 maybe?

Funny to think that this boss only got included because I had two weeks before steam next fest and my caffeine-drunk brain decided it would be great to add a roaming superboss to the demo. Ended up getting a scream from playtesters & streamers though so it was worth it. #indieDev #indieGame #RPG

I've always been enamored by the idea of the black knight, roaming from battlefield to battlefield in search of the fight itself. #illustration #digitalart #fantasyart

I don't usually draw my custom factions, but I love Chaos Warriors so much, here's a WIP. Might post some lore when it's done. #warhammerfantasy #AgeofSigmar #SlavesToDarkness #warhammer

I've been building on a game I made for a recent jam: Plague Messiah. During the jam I had to cut the battle sprites, a shame because I really thought they'd help sell the world. Just got around to penning the Messiah herself, what do you think? #indiedev #illustration

I love the stage of #gamedev where you start to feel the project come alive. Everything might still be placeholders but you can feel the world and the characters respond to your actions. It's great. #indiedev #solodev

Was very inspired by the #GuildWars2 profession art when painting my Kommandos. I imagined them walking straight out of a white, red & green canvas and slitting the throats of any unfortunate Astra-Militarum. #orktober #paintingwarhammer #killteam #warhammer40k

Archaon on steed is one the models I would most like to #kitbash. Big fan of the character. Named characters are not often part of my armies but I made my first batch of Warriors for warcry and well, it seems cool that they'd band under Archaon. #warhammer

My Kommando Nob, Nidsnuffa' Shabad. Former tankbuster who earned his title, (as well as his power claw, and most of his face), in an unprecedented display a' taktikz by shoving a grenade into the mouth of a Carnifex. . #orktober #paintingwarhammer #warhammer40k #warhammer #killteam

Game Jam is over and so getting back to work on Goblin Shaman. It's #orktober this month so I'll be sharing my Waaaaagh in some separate posts!

I participated in my first GameJam. Plague Messiah is a Grand Strategy Game where you command an army of plaguebearers to spread their contagion across the land. itch.io/jam/mini-jam...

Rate Plague Messiah by Xetoil for Mini Jam 194: Toxic

Spread the contagion in this Grand Strategy Game made for MiniJam 194

Finally getting back into Warhammer after a year long break... And I have a ton of projects to finish! First up is the skinthief for my Nemesis Claw Killteam! Heavily inspired by a certain Azure Knight. #warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity

Late to the party but I LOVE #DarkestDungeon2 Throwing away Attack, Defense and Accuracy in favour of buffs is wild, and yet it makes fights feel so smooth. I am a huge fan of tightly designed combat and this one really takes the cake.

New chibi art for #Badgersaw to add a cherry on top of the existing scoreboard. Thinking these would make good sticker merch? #indiedev #illustration #gameart

Been replaying FFVI recently. Surprising how this game offers almost no meaningful choice until about 20 hours in and yet still feels absolutely stellar. Crazy how almost all the early skills are auto-aimed. Really puts notions of "Good Game Design" into perspective. #FinalFantasy

#IndieDev here. I make RPGs. People sometimes ask me what my inspirations are. There are many, but I almost always include #Sonic The Hedgehog. Why? One word. V I B E

I think people misunderstand positive thinking to be about how you feel, but when done right encourages you to find solutions to problems. If you get it down it really is a lifehack. #mindset #indiedev

If there was one skill I'm grateful I spent my 20s honing it's discipline. So much of indie dev is discipline. Discipline to write code every day, discipline to learn whatever skills the project needs, discipline to adapt when the project isn't feeling right. #indiedev

"Crazy Samurai" is an underappreciated trope.

In the code he's called "AustralianDad" (I've never been to Australia)

Being a solo developer compels me to learn with intent, and I adore it. For instance, I taught myself Spanish guitar to create Goblin Shaman's soundtrack, and I'm thrilled with the results. #SoloDev #SpanishGuitar
