unDefense | Kickstarter Pre Launch Page Live!

#DevLog 039 - Goodbye purple character :I It took me some time, but I finally put the foundations for character customization, equipment and item inventory in place. Now I can add more items or customization options as needed :P #indiegame #pixelart #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

#DevLog 038 If you are going to be jumping around, you have to do it with style! I don't remember games that let you go crazy with hair options. Do you remember any crazy hair in games? #indiegame #pixelart #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Woke up today, but the hair’s a little unruly. 😅 Adding some free flowing inverse kinematics to the player character, it is always cool to have your hair moving around while jumping and fighting. #indiegame #pixelart #solodev #gamedev

#DevLog 037 - One day, while walking to the beach, three little dogs followed me all the way there. They stayed around and then followed me all the way back to my house. I sometimes wonder what they think about these little adventures. #indiegame #pixelart #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

You might be wondering why there’s a book, mop, plunger, and camera sitting in the middle of the wilderness… 👀 Well, you’ll just have to wait and find out. 🧐🌲 #indiegame #pixelart #solodev #gamedev

I changed one tiny thing…Now these monkey-like creatures are like bouncing balls 😅 #indiegame #pixelart #solodev #gamedev

#DevLog 036 - Work in Progress: Back flips are good for creating distance between you and your adversaries, but also you can give a kick while creating that distance. #indiegame #pixelart #creature #gamedev

#DevLog 035 - Work in progress. Still playing around with the shapes of these creatures. I am inclined toward smaller, skinny ones, but curious how they would look as beefy guys. Will continue experiments until something pops. #indiegame #pixelart #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

#DevLog 034 - Based these little monkey-like creatures more on lemurs, which are generally smaller. So, I am wondering how they would look like as they grow, or with slight variations 🤔 There are no giant gorilla-like lemurs… are there? #indiegame #pixelart #creature #gamedev

What are they looking at? Maybe at all the games they can play once the work is done 😭 #indiegame #solodev #creature #gamedev

Did you forget to take a shower? Why do they keep running away? #DevLog 033 - Working on different behaviours for these jumpy little guys. They like to keep their distance, so it might be hard to get a hand on them if they keep running and jumping away. #indiegame #BuildInPublic #pixelart #gamedev

So much of #gamedev is actually playing a game where you are making a game.

This one guy doesn't want you near... What are you going to do about it? #indiegame #BuildInPublic #pixelart #gamedev

#DevLog 032 - Cool thing about procedural animation is that I can just change a number, and it dynamically changes the animation, like the length of a jump. #indiegame #BuildInPublic #pixelart #ScreenshotSaturday

Be careful, these creatures won't let you take any breaks #indiegames #BuildInPublic #pixelart #gaming

DevLog 031 - I am working on more attack animation for creatures. If this one doesn't hit you with the head, it might hit you with their bodies. What do you think? #indiegames #BuildInPublic #pixelart #gaming

Little Update: Bug Fixed! Early tester noted that, upon defeat, sometimes the character’s body would ignore gravity and fly straight upwards into the air instead of landing on the ground. Though this one looked rather funny 😅 #indiegames #BuildInPublic #pixelart #gaming

📢 Kickstarter Prelaunch Page is LIVE! 5000 Rewrites 47 Existential Crises & overthinking every possible word later Support these wild creatures get wilder 😅 Please Click the "Notify Me" thing! Link in Bio Will be very grateful for every little support #indiegames #BuildInPublic #pixelart #gaming

I am working on a new environment and a new creature. Here’s a little sneak peek! Tell me what kind of vibes does this big guy gives you? 👀 #indiegames #BuildInPublic #pixelart #gamedev

DevLog 030 - Players impact the creatures of this world in positive or negative ways. One idea I have for friendlier gameplay is that players can feed them. Feeding is the most intuitive, isn't it? Simplest way to earn trust? What do you think? #indiegames #BuildInPublic #pixelart

indie dev vs over ambitious indie game #indiegames #BuildInPublic #pixelart #CreatureDesign

Adding blocking, if executed at the right time, it can deplete creature's stamina without hurting them. This makes them more tired over time and less hostile. Another month ends, the more I work, the more work I think is pending 😭 Link the bio for unDefense! #indiegames #BuildInPublic #pixelart

DevLog 029 - Do you prefer creatures to have variations among themselves, giving each one a unique look? Or do you prefer them to have a more uniform, consistent appearance? What’s your preference? 👀 🎮Playtest Now! Combat or Watch Creatures #ScreenshotSaturday #indiegames #BuildInPublic #solodev

DevLog 028 - A lot happening! Took into account the desire for friendlier gameplay. It will offer choices to hurt, scare, or befriend them, with caveats. Also, I am putting together a small #playtest 👀 Would you be curious to give it a try & share your thoughts? #indiegames #BuildInPublic #solodev

Hurt Them, Scare Them, or Befriend Them... what would you choose? I have been working on gameplay mechanics; I think it is coming together. The more choices, the better?! #indiegames #BuildInPublic #solodev #pixelart

DevLog 027 - I have been adding more creatures. It is kinda gratifying to watch them peacefully wander around, do their own thing, evolve and adapt to the terrain. Enjoying creating a little world for them :) #ScreenshotSaturday #indiegames #BuildInPublic #solodev

The creatures are vibing today! Trying out some colours (not final) for their distinctive personalities and moods. They are finally complete with heads and tails. (though still a WIP) Do they make you happy? #pixelart #solodev #indiegames #gameart

DevLog 026 - Would you Pet or Combat? Sometimes people want to befriend or pet creepy creatures. Why?! Do they look cute?! Where are your survival instincts :l I don't remember if I wanted to pet creatures in any game 🤔 #pixelart #solodev #indiegames #BuildInPublic

Month-end deadline panic is creeping up on me! 😅 Anyone in the same boat as me? I guess dinner will be a can of tuna. Meanwhile, check this #creature turn around- clumsy or pass? #pixelart #solodev #indiegames

DevLog 025- Just playing around with some bipedal creature designs. :D Let's see where this goes. #pixelart #solodev #indiegames #GameDesign

new day, new creature. #pixelart #solodev #indiegames

A rainy night on top of the trees 🌲🌧️⚡ Is this a good spot to get a full view of the lingering dangers in the woods? I suppose as long as whatever's down there can't climb up. 👀 Would you feel safe up here, or paranoid? #screenshotsaturday #pixelart #gamedev #indiegames

DevLog 024 - I’m building our game to inhabit different #creatures with their idiosyncrasies. Are there creatures you like more than others? Which ones you want to battle, and which ones to befriend? I am curious to know your replies! :) #pixelart #indiegame #gamedevelopment

It is coming together 😋 Feeling proud about it Though still more things to be done. Have you had any small or big wins lately? #indiedev #pixelart #indiegame

DevLog 023 - Does size matter?! Do bigger enemies feel more challenging, just because of their size? Are they really scarier, or is it psychological? If it feels like a bigger threat right away. Curious to hear what everyone thinks! 👇 #indiedev #pixelart #indiegame #GameDesign

What do you think this #creature is supposed to be? Does it remind you of something? 🤔 Or someone in your life? 😋 #indiedev #pixelart #indiegame #gamedevelopment

DevLog 022 – A work-in-progress! Testing survival instincts on our newest #creature They scramble, hop, and scatter the second you get close, making them difficult to hit in the dark. Turns out, hitting a target that wants to live is a lot trickier!  #gamedev #pixelart #indiegame #GameDesign

Stop hopping around! 😤😤😤 Stay still so I can hit you! 😭 Does this annoyingly remind you of any enemies that you dealt with before? #gamedev #pixelart #indiegame #rpg

DevLog 021 - An earlier look of my #creature WIP. Deer-like who hop around or kick with their back legs. I've never fought a deer or horse-like creature in a game, so I think it'd be a cool idea. Imagine the attacks they could do once they have a Head?! #indiedev #pixelart #indiegame #gaming

A quick warning: the white #creatures prowling beneath this stunning night sky aren’t here for cuddles or treats—they’re looking for a real challenge. Instead of enjoying the ambience, get locked in a high-stakes 3v1 pixelated match. 🎮🌙 #pixelart #soulslike #indiegame #actionadventure #gaming

DevLog 020- Enemy dynamism ⚔️ Enemies/Bosses aren't just going to stand around to take a beating. They’ll dodge your attacks, jump behind you or away, and close the distance. How’s your reaction time looking? 👀 #indiedev #indiegames #combat #gaming #pixelart

Two is company or a Trap? Can you handle a double ambush? 🌫️ Do you think two enemies are fair? #indiedev #indiegames #pixelart #combat #gaming

DevLog 019 - Worked hard on levels beyond typical side scrollers with organic terrain & multi-layered backgrounds inspired by Hollow Knight. Parallax effects create depth & atmosphere, makes exploration feel alive. Ready to dive into living world? #indiedev #indiegames #pixelart #metroidvania
