Thanks for hosting #TurnBasedThursday, @jeremyjackson.bsky.social! Quasimorph is a roguelike that throws cyberpunk, chest-bursting demons, and private military companies trying to profit from the Apocalypse into the same meat grinder. Do you like jump scares?

Quasimorph, 1.0.4 is OUT!@quasimorph.bsky.social

Always be on guard and keep your eyes open. Or at least be aware of your wound effects. #ScreenshotSaturday #roguelike #turnbased #gamedev

This is it! #Archrebel's standalone demo is releasing tomorrow. It's game heavily inspired by the classics: REBELSTAR and LASERSQUAD games, developed by Julian Gollop. #gamedev #indiegamedev

I know, I know... this is was cherry picked, but it still resonates with me. How about you? PS: Thank you indie developers for staying creative and risk it all. #gamedev #indiegamedev #videogames

#Archrebel Tactics' demo is nearly here. Heavily inspired by Julian Gollop's early work: Rebelstar and Laser Squad. A dream of mine for nearly 40 years is finally coming true. #gamedev #indiegamedev

After 5 years of development, it's finally happening: I'm releasing #Archrebel's demo on Steam on October 16th, so you can experience the mechanics I've been tinkering with for more than a decade, heavily inspired by REBELSTAR and LASER SQUAD. #gamedev #indiegamedev

#Archrebel is probably the most heartfelt tribute to the classic REBELSTAR and LASER SQUAD games created by Julian Gollop. This demo is a complete short game, and you can easily put 20+ hours into it if you plan to see it all. #gamedev #Indiegamedev

12 Days to go, Commanders! #Archrebel is probably the most heartfelt tribute to the classic REBELSTAR and LASER SQUAD games created by Julian Gollop. This demo is a complete short game, and you can easily put 20+ hours into it if you plan to see it all. #gamedev #Indiegamedev

So excited and proud to be hosting the official #TurnBasedThursday on Bsky! I'm hosting live from NEXUS in Dublin today! I want to see all your #GameDev updates, so hit me with your art, trailers, and infos! Show Me What You Got!

I've add new tutorial entries to #Archrebel, for the new mechanics, and I've grouped them by type. There's currently about 40 entries made of 120+ videos. This video showcases some of them. All of them are voiced. #gamedev #indiegamedev

Dear tactics players. I'm still fixing bugs and improving the experience on #Archrebel's upcoming Steam demo, which will be a small full mini-game (4-6h of content). I'll let you guys know the release date as soon I feel the game is solid for playing. #gamedev #indiegamedev

Hello @kriegsfront.bsky.social and thanks for hosting this week's #TurnBasedThursday! 🍻 I consider #Archrebel a reincarnation of and a follow-up to two classics: Rebelstar and Laser Squad, even though it's influenced by other Gollop titles as well. #gamedev #indiegamedev

Quasimorph, 1.0.4 is OUT!@quasimorph.bsky.social

Patch 1.0.4 includes an update to player pathfinding and movement. You no longer need to dance around allied NPCs. The clone will automatically push them out of its path as it moves. #WishlistWednesday #roguelike #turnbased

My wife keeps testing #Archrebel's second demo, playing it on the TV through a mini PC. Thanks to her, I've nailed down more than 100 bugs over the 60 days. And, another bug was discovered in this screenie; the minimap is not being loaded correctly. Sighs... #gamedev #Indiegamedev

Thx for Hosting!🥳 One week ago I released #ruinsOfCalaworm to the public. It is based on an early 90s obscure German cult game, think "Puzzle Game with Emergent Backstabbing" (a.k.a. #roguelike DNA): no builds, no ranged combat, just You and the Dungeon, bumping into Witches and Eldritch Horrors.

I drew every frame of this game by hand. Leadbelly: a roguelike deckbuilder where you scrap tanks, harvest enemy brains, and fight factions that actually coordinate against you. Demo's live on Steam! #indiedev #gamedev #deckbuilder store.steampowered.com/app/5057610/...

Doors no longer keep you safe in #Archrebel. The AI now can tear through doors that get in their way. I'm not pleased with the SFX, and the effects of the door's destruction will be reworked. "You can run, but hiding is no longer an option..." #gamedev #indiegamedev

Meet the Trojan leader. He is kinda of an ass... and a murderer. I'm sure you will have fun blasting him out of existence in #Archrebel's upcoming mini-game. #gamedev #indiegamedev

My wife has been testing #Archrebel extensively for the last weeks. She pointed out that one can easily miss the bonus stage if not paying attention. Hopefully this will do the trick for everyone else. Turn audio on for the full effect. #gamedev #indiegamedev

With the level system coming in for #Archrebel, some UI additions happened. Also, hopefully people won't forget to use shields, now with their available number of charges visible on the unit bar too. #gamedev #indiegamedev

The most neglected feature from watching ppl playing #Archrebel is the use of the energy shields, which is also one of the most powerful defensive mechanisms you can use. The energy shield halves incoming damage and protects units from critical hits. Don't forget them! #gamedev #indiegamedev

Even if I manage to bring down the 2 critters coming from the north, I've lost too many units, and the remaining ones are simply too messed up. There's no shame in knowing defeat. #archrebel #gamedev #indiegamedev

Every single time I run #Archrebel's upcoming demo mission, I find something to fix. For the first time, in 2 months and half, I've finally reached halfway through it without incidents. Sorry for the delay. Anyway, your first decision happens right at start:
