THE TRAILER IS FINALLY DONE !!! Sound ON. @deadi.bsky.social wrote a custom medley for this and it sounds KILLER, it's not nearly as good without it. Do not deny your ears this music.

i made the rustwraith actually try to attack you, but you can swat it away with your sword to make it screw off and attack other enemies and now it's WAY more fun

When I was a kid I thought this was pretty much all game developers did all day I think normal people would just write a script to place the tiles automatically but I'm weird and enjoy doing this

I thought the gunsword was too similar to the other projectile weapons so I just made it Cassidy's ultimate from overwatch lol

I'M BACK FROM VACATION CHECK OUT THIS NEW ENEMY I MADE :) I think this guy really demonstrates how much mileage I get out of simple particle effects #screenshotsaturday

NEW DUNGEON READY TO DOWNLOAD AND PLAY ! The Vampire awaits! (she is the best boss fight I've made yet!) I post free downloadable playtests in my Discord, as well as behind the scenes updates and more stuff! discord.gg/RgUessqXnr

I do my best work at 3 AM. Roxy the Witch lives on the south west coast of the throneless country, somewhere remote where people can't complain about her experiments. She detests hard work, and specializes in deadly poisons. #pixelart

I decided the Vampire level doesn't have enough variety so I've added these guys to spice things up. If we get all the audio done + some NPC scripting this dungeon could have a playable demo soon so stay tuned :)

I like how these little wizard dudes came out, simple but good

YANCY GAME @yancygame.bsky.social · 18/04/2025
Ive got some really, really cool stuff in the works that I don’t wanna spoil. I’ll work as fast as I can to get a demo of this dungeon finished so some of you can play it yourselves.

YANCY GAME @yancygame.bsky.social · 10/04/2025
do you guys think this room is too hard?

YANCY GAME @yancygame.bsky.social · 03/04/2025
Not every enemy needs to have their head pop off at half health and shoot homing lasers outta their eyes Sometimes I just wanna make a funny little guy I can put 10 of in a room without an issue. And I wanna call him "HELMORT"

YANCY GAME @yancygame.bsky.social · 23/03/2025
Boring games, insipid, derivative: Ice Sword has a 10% chance to slow enemies on hit My game, blessed, heroic, innovative: Land 5 attacks in a row in the same direction to summon an extremely cool freezing wind that makes enemies more vulnerable to damage

I’m not dead. I have cool new swords to show off soon.

COOL SWORD. Throw spinning scythe projectile, skilfully stop the scythe on top of enemies for massive damage. ...Except it was WAY WAY WAY too strong. So you have to go pick up the Scythe to throw it again.

I love optional rooms because they let me make evil anxiety inducing room layouts like this. I love making evil shit so much

I woke up at 3 AM and decided to finish the art for this new NPC. Behold! Molly of the Arbalest is a seasoned mercenary looking for easy work in the throneless country. You might be in it for the adventure, but Molly's in it for the money. #pixelart
Sprite sheet, 2 character portraits for dialogue, a 4 directional walk cycle and some miscellaneous sprites.

Sprite sheet for the Harpies. Very very happy with these weirdos.
Sprite Sheet for several enemies, labelled "Harpy", "Weird Harpy", and "Ogre Harpy"

YANCY GAME @yancygame.bsky.social · 01/02/2025
The addition of the breakable cover mechanic had made this dungeon WAY more dynamic and interesting. The Harpies were really overwhelming before, but now you can split them up for an advantage, and take them out before they break through your cover. It's really fun

YANCY GAME @yancygame.bsky.social · 29/01/2025
I mean yeah I guess that is a pretty weird harpy

YANCY GAME @yancygame.bsky.social · 24/01/2025
Would you be interested in seeing things like sprite sheets, music from the game, etc? I always post the gifs because I assume that’s all people wanna see, but maybe I’m wrong

Now that I'm done building the early game I finally get to make some REAL boss fights. Real EVIL stuff #indiegamedev #solodev

The HEADTAKER! An executioner's sword, that marks an enemy for death. The marked enemy takes bonus damage, and if you slay enemies in the order they're marked, you'll be rewarded! ...Is "HEADTAKER" a bit too macabre for Yancy? It's supposed to be spooky scary but it's kind of a gruesome name huh

YANCY GAME @yancygame.bsky.social · 21/11/2024
I'm doing a polish pass on one of the first dungeons I designed and I'm impressed, I anticipated needing to redo most of this area. but I think the level design holds up
