I was SHOOK when @fatbat.studio requested breakcore for the Haunted Woods ๐Ÿซจ "Dead Ringers" was directly inspired by the amen break-mutilating trailblazers, Igorrr and Venetian Snares, and in true breakcore spiritโ€”I sure didn't hold back on the choppage ๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿ”ช #indiedev #vgm #breakcore #baroque

Kicking off spooky ๐ŸŽƒ October, this week's #EIDOLWARE OST: "Dead Ringers" by @debiscomusic.com, one of the themes you'll hear in the Haunted Woods experience.

I'm beyond thrilled to share the main theme I composed for @fatbat.studio's forthcoming indie RPG, EIDOLWARE! Ryv and I have been heads down working on the game's soundtrack, and we can hardly wait for everyone to experience FedoraCon for themselves ๐Ÿ‘€

A small preview of our #EIDOLWARE combat update coming next week: #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegames

We'll be sharing new combat gameplay next week as well as a blog post about #EIDOLWARE 's combat system! It'll be a big leap compared to past alpha footage. In the meantime, enjoy this animation of Susie doing her signature combat move, the "Clothesline". #gamedev #indiegames #pixelart

Been working on this #EIDOLWARE sprite for a bit, the "Hot Dog King" mascot! More info in the alt text. #screenshotsaturday #pixelart #gamedev #indiegames

The final #EIDOLWARE principal character #art is done! Believing that four vinyl figures called Chiibos hold an ancient druidic power, Jared Jimenez is on the hunt for them on his path to becoming the "ultimate" collector. Read more here: eidolware.com/characters/ #gamedev #indiegames

Another quick #EIDOLWARE #voiceacting casting update: We've started to reach out to our top candidates for May Melody and will schedule interviews. Next week we will do the same for J-Woo candidates. Looking forward to talk to our top contenders for the last two roles! #gamedev #indiegames

Quick #EIDOLWARE #voiceacting casting update: We have casted VAs for the roles of Bea and Susie and will begin reviewing all candidates for May and J-Woo. Once we have our top candidates, we will reach out for interviews. Full announcement on the full cast by end of May! #gamedev #indiegames

๐Ÿงต(2/3) We aim to have all seven principal roles signed by the end of May, with a public cast announcement to follow. Reminder: every finalist across every role goes on our first-call list for side characters and NPCs as development continues. More casting calls will open throughout development.

๐Ÿงต(3/3) Whether you were a top contender, shortlisted, or didn't make this round, please keep an eye out for our future casting calls. EIDOLWARE has a lot of characters and a lot of opportunities ahead. Thank you for showing up for this project. โค๏ธ

"Fedora Mask! Paladin, Level 20! Charisma, courage, strengthโ€ฆ rugged good looks!" ๐Ÿ™„ New character #art for Fedora Mask, the main antagonist of #EIDOLWARE. Creator of the first (literally) underground 24-hour anime convention, FedoraCon, he hopes to "make anime our reality". #gamedev #indiegames

This is the most Toby Fox-coded, Crash Bandicoot-pilled, Scooby Doo brainrotted thing I've ever composed, and I will NOT elaborate

๐Ÿงต(1/2) #voiceacting auditions for #EIDOLWARE are now closed on Casting Call Club! Our final stats: ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ 1503 Submissions ๐Ÿ‘€ โœ… 839 Followers We're in the middle of interviews with top picks and will announce our VA cast in a few weeks once we finish and contracts have been signed. #gamedev #indiegames

๐Ÿงต (2/2) I want to repeat that anyone who made it to the final rounds but did not get selected for a role will be on our immediate call list for any supplemental roles and will still be involved with the game. We hate to see wonderful talent wasted. We'll keep you posted!

Hi #PortfolioDay! I'm Ryv, the founder of FATBAT Studio, working on programming, story and #art for my upcoming video game, EIDOLWARE, a satirical cyberpunk anime convention action-RPG. (I'm not looking for work, I just wanted to show off my art ๐Ÿ˜…) Read more @ eidolware.com #gamedev #indiegames

๐Ÿงต(1/3) We are now over 1000 #voiceacting auditions for #EIDOLWARE! Casting will close in 8 days, next Saturday 4/18. What's next: We are working on narrowing down to 5 candidates per role. We will then coordinate with the finalists after closing to schedule script readings. #gamedev #indiegames

๐Ÿงต(2/3) There are many wonderful & talented people that this has been a difficult process and we're splitting hairs. The response has been incredible and honestly humbling. I would love to work with almost everyone if we had unlimited resources.

๐Ÿงต(3/3) For those don't get selected after our final announcements, we will notify those we want to stay in touch with. This is the 1st casting round for our main characters. There are further roles to fill for our game and I'd hate to see talent wasted. Make sure to follow for latest updates!

582 #voiceacting auditions, 380 followers and counting! I'm still shocked how many folks have been interested in working with us for our game. Reminder: the Fedora Mask role is closed and the Anna role closes next Monday, April 6th! Submit here: www.castingcall.club/projects/eid... #gamedev

I've been reviewing the #voiceacting auditions we have for #EIDOLWARE so far (324 submissions!) and there are many amazing VAs from indie to pro. It opened my eyes to the depth of talent available. Knowing what's out there, it's hard to imagine why any #gamedev would resort to AI instead.

Attention all FedoraCon guests! Due to the amazing number of submissions (100+), #voiceacting auditions for Fedora Mask will close on 3/28/26. If you haven't auditioned, then please do so soon! Good luck to everyone! www.castingcall.club/projects/eid... #EIDOLWARE #gamedev #indiegames #spotlight

Also we are accepting character #voiceacting auditions outside of using Casting Call, so please get in touch with @deftbeck.bsky.social for more details. We will finalize and select our candidates next month, on April 18th!

Since #EIDOLWARE contains hundreds of NPCs, I needed a quicker way to build sprites or separate parts out into individual assets. Doing it by hand in an sprite editor for dozens of characters was painfully slow. SpriteBat lets me layer them, tweak colors with HSL shifting, and export in seconds!

The new #EIDOLWARE game website is now live! A lot of work went into this. I've also written the first Devlog on the origins of the project (back in 2015 as a graphic novel), which you can read here: eidolware.com/blog/robot-d... More updates to come! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #spotlight
