You gotta, it's the law 🫡

Aster Gets Armed is on my list of games to play and I have no frame of reference for Units' personality, so please excuse the rush-job, the possibly innaccurate character portrayal, and the hyperfixation co-star.

Finished version of that portrait I was making of Aster, the protagonist of @rambleprism.bsky.social's game Aster Gets Armed. It was quite a fun little shoot-em'-up game, I recommend it. #art #pixelart #characterart #fanart #Aster #AsterGetsArmed #indiegame #sage2026 #sage #portrait #pixel #ocart

I got really emotional tonight about how awesome indie game dev is and how incredible it is that people can make their ideal games into a reality. Please keep working your games, no matter how big or small your progress is. You doing this benefits us all. I'm so proud of you, no matter what. 🥹

One highlight of SAGE has got to be getting to join the @sagexpo.org closing stream! You get to hear me yap at the 10:01:00 mark 👀 www.youtube.com/live/pbK6WFr...

Aaaand that's a wrap for SAGE 2026! Thank you so, so much for playing and sharing your feedback 🤗 The latest version of the demo should stay up, so you can still play it!

Aster Gets Armed! (My 1st SAGE games were the seal ones, but I digress) AGA is a game I've always seen here, and it was worth the wait! it looks beautiful! Hand-drawn games are always gorgeous to look at...and the characters are quirky too! sonicfangameshq.com/forums/showc...

Everyone's falling for their propaganda 😤

Aster Gets Armed - Wonderfully charming shoot-em-up with a ton of personality. I adore the character designs and can't wait to see more of the game! Will be keeping an eye on it. sonicfangameshq.com/forums/showc...

With SAGE drawing to a close, I want to give a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who played the game, and especially everyone who filled out the feedback form! You have no idea how much it helps! Massive shoutouts in particular to this person 🫡💙

The demo has been updated to include a version of the Quick Guide! Hope it can help you with the controls and mechanics, give it a shot! 💪✨

If you know anyone who will stream/has streamed the demo, please link it! I'd love to see it 🫡✨️

Aster Gets Armed That was fun. The characters are very marketable, especially that stupid sexy robot. That's all I say, because I filled out a feedback form already.

sonicfangameshq.com/forums/showc... Aster gets armed by @rambleprism.bsky.social Such a fun, lovable art style, and punching shit in a schmup is so much fun. The style and personality of this one makes it worth checking out, even if you arent usually a fan of the genre.

Aster Gets Armed. Absurdly delightful little SHMUP with very unsubtle themes, absurdly charming visuals, and it uses Sonic Rush music which I appreciate. Super short but I desperately wanna see more from this one. Trans rights.

I drew Aster's head.

Meet/fear the diligent Officer Units! 👋 A group of hivemind robots, upholding law on Earth in 2069. They're designed to appear non-threatening and act all cute, but you'd better not get on their bad side. Which, with their ever-changing laws, is almost impossible... 😬 #gamedev #indiedev #ocsky

Say hi to ASTER! 👋 A skilled inventor from Amsterdam, with zero luck and zero friends... prefers talking to machines over talking to people. She suddenly finds herself getting chased by the entire galactic police force! Luckily, she has ARMED her GUNS-SHIP! 💪 #gamedev #indiedev #ocsky
