Hellcrown

soul harvesting mechanic in our game, is it too brutal? #indiegame #gamedev

We wanted health bars that actually belonged in Hellcrown So we made them crowns And yes, they also tell you what your unit is doing. #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

it's such a great feeling when all your systems just work #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

We fixed cannibalism in our game. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

In Hellcrown, you're dead — but your hand still rules. It's a roguelite strategy where you build a fortress around your own grave, command demons, and survive the consequences of your decisions. We're making a game where you play as the demon lord. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #basebuilding #game

This looks like a real battle. None of the units were actually fighting. just me trying to make a trailer #indiegame #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev

Polyrhythmic Cascade

we hit 300 wishlists in just two weeks! but it's also a reality check: we'll have to fight for every single wishlist, and there's a huge grind ahead I'm honestly overwhelmed, a wild mix of exhaustion and pure joy. It's a massive result I never saw coming. Thanks! #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

snow level test #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

in game, the "hand of god" saves the innocent. in mine, i've got other plans for the sinners. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

It's just a 2D sprite, but we use a little trick to give it a sense of 3D depth. Check out how the light shimmers on the demon! #indiedev #gamedev

Sometimes the best feature in a game is just stopping to take in your camp. #indiegame #gamedev

We're back And these last few days of experimenting with lighting and camera paid off in a big way. The result looks kind of insane. #indiegame #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev

So… we got banned on X. We still don't know why. Reports and appeals led nowhere. It's honestly devastating how easily you can lose something you’ve been working on every day for a whole year. And this happened right when we were preparing to launch our Steam page. #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

There was a character in our game that almost no one ever saw… #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Warning from our game: don't underestimate the seedlings. #pixelart #indiegame #ドット絵

Demons Revival Update 0.4 is in Development! Friends, if it's not too much trouble, please follow our itch. page. As soon as the build is ready, you'll be able to download the game there. Meanwhile, we're working on the Steam page. astral-hearts.itch.io/hellcrown/de...

THIS IS WHAT AN INDIE GAME LOOKS LIKE

We've decided to rename the game. The old title was very meaningful to us, but without context it lost some of its meaning and could sound a bit strange to new players. The new title is [Hellcrown]. What do you think? #indiedev #gamedev

Turns out, throwing imps is fun. Wasp flew away? No problem, you only need one good throw. #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

Pink Chocolate

A small building for your sinners. #indiegame #pixelart #ドット絵

That moment when you're already prepared for the mimic... #indiegame #gamedev

Wasp problem? Throw a unit at it. Still working on flying unit AI. This opens up a lot of interesting new behaviors. I also want to add the ability to throw a unit at a wasp and knock it down. Can't wait to test the new loop with all the new content. #indiegame #gamedev #WIP

In my opinion, this is exactly how flying units should work. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

#WIP Wave intro animation! I'm trying to give the start and end of each event a satisfying sense of impact. I'll show it with sound soon, along with versions for other waves. #indiegame #gamedev

Warning, demonic chickens are very dangerous! 🐔 New building: the chicken coop. #pixelart #indiegame #gamedev #ドット絵

Average loot experience in my game. #indiegame #gamedev

New building: Transmutation Forge! A forge where souls get sealed into living armor. #pixelart #indiegame #ドット絵

Take a look, I improved stone mining mechanic: from finger pain to satisfying. #indiegame #gamedev

Barracks & Shooting range. Demon recruitment starts here. #pixelart #indiegame #ドット絵

Workers' camp. Cozy. Practical. Just a little demonic. #pixelart #indiegame #ドット絵

His Majesty, Parallax! Mine upgrade: level 1 -> 2 -> 3! #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

Oh, the mine just evolved! #pixelart #indiegame #ドット絵

Your gold mines await, my lord! #pixelart #indiegame #ドット絵

Spent a couple of days fixing a 2 pixel gap. That's indie-gamedev for you :D #indiegame #gamedev

The building system got a solid upgrade. 🔊Sound on! #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #rts

A roguelite city builder with cards, set in the mysterious underground world? That's Into the Depths! Every action matters if you want to survive down there! Demo is available on Steam #TeaseYaGame
