Oh no ! Situation of the day : Tyranobuilder can merge two steps of the same project because of steam cloud. We lost days of work today xD

Thank youuuu we love concept phase lol so we share eeeverything on our tumblr 🥰😂

The image shows a main bunker room. The walls are concrete, partially painted in dark blue with signs of wear. Rusty red metal pipes run along the ceiling, accompanied by various black cables. There is a large vintage-looking control panel illuminated by greenish lights, a swivel chair, filing cabinets, and a storage shelf filled with documents and folders. To the right, a worn-out yellow sofa and cushions add a peculiar contrast, suggesting the room might have been repurposed or used as a makeshift living area.

This is where you'll find TinyBot...

Abandoned. Alone. Surrounded by rust and old tech.

But see that green glow? That's hope. That's where our underground garden empire begins 🌱

Working on the main room design today!

Thank youuuuu ❤️

I understand honestly, UI is very delicate to balance esthetically without sacrifying practicability and, when it’s not our job but we have to do it anyway, it’s very stressful... I'm very afraid of the day we have to work on it lol you are very courageous

Four character poses of Seryn Calder, Amalgame's main character, in refined black and white sketch, to study volumes and emotions in preparation of definitive sprite assets

While waiting for the weekly tumblr devlog post, here is some posing work for our main character !

Title art for the game Sugarplum Cafe, with the name in large curly letters. Two ladies, Lady Milk Chocolate and Lady Vanilla, sit at a table having afternoon tea. In the background, they are surrounded by desserts.

Screenshot of a game set in a cafe, with a currency counter on the top right and a cameo-shaped UI on the top left. Next to the cameo, some text reads "Collect 6 Cameos." The walls are white with pastel pink and teal color accents and gold filigree. In the foreground, three customers (one wearing vanilla, one wearing chocolate, and one wearing strawberry) have speech bubbles over their heads indicating what desserts they would like to order. In the bottom right corner, there is a grid with some desserts. There is also a display window in the background with more desserts.

An elegant tearoom with baby pink curtains and large windows showing a pastel gradient backdrop. In the foreground, three tables with off-white tablecloths seat three pairs of characters, each pair having a tea party. From left to right: Jasmine and Lemon Madeline, Lady Strawberry and Lady Mint, and Lady Lemon and Lady Lime.

The cafe is empty save for a dialogue bubble, with Lady Vanilla in the foreground. The text in the bubble reads, "LADY VANILLA: Ah, you must be the new owner. Nice to meet you!" There are two filigreed buttons in the corner, one to view past dialogues and one to skip the conversation.

Oh my my. This is the most refined UI I saw since a loooong time. It’s beautiful yet clear enough (to my eyes tbh i don’t know for others) while fitting seamlessly in the environment ! I need to study your craft 🥰

Purple tree created in 3 steps : concept art doodled on clip studio paint, 3d model created on blender, then extraction of the line and base colors on clip studio paint plus some added line for the comic book look !

Posing work on Seryn, our main character, to understand its volume better, made on clip studio paint.

Painted portrait of Seryn by Sébastien Annoni ! The character is mysterious, with a pale mouthless horned mask, drapped in a Pink mist coming from his collar

A brightly oranged toned landscape, where some mechanics elements such as gears and rings erupt from the ground, as well as a strange boat, half buried in sand

Congratulations for the 2k !!!!! We are a tiny studio made by a couplé of artists and we are currently working on our first visual novel so here are some artworks from both of us !

Our black cat and second baby, Kalypso, who can’t sleep without a blanket even in summer

(Our second baby for those who need cat picture :p)

Chaussette, our tortoiseshell cat, is resting peacefully to escape the heat near AC

Our helpers are tirer because we made a lot of progress this week. First act will soon be cleanly integrated on tyranobuilder, and we currently are working on definitive assets for our main caractéristique :D

⚔️ CROWN GAMBIT is OUT NOW ON STEAM ⚔️

Lead three paladins through a crumbling capital in this narrative tactical adventure!

We built this game with love, now it’s your turn to shape its fate. Spread the word if you can ❤️‍🔥

Sébastien working on Amalgame development on his computer in nearly complete obscurity

Sunburns from being ourdoor on the wrong day, every window tightely closed and tyranobuilder opened. The life of a Visual Novel developer 😁

I'm in love with your char. Very delicate shadows, catchy silhouette, Color me intringued 🥰

Amalgame's Tour pt.1 Eyh Boss !!! Do you believe that artists need decent temperature to work ??? Me neither. Our local fox roommate had to put like 16 fans, 4 AC and a lot of water to make them draw. This was smart...

New article on Tumblr ! With very crunchy parts of Lore in it !

Noooo we were meant to have rain and storms today why hot ? 😭 Now we have to work on our concept art glued to the AC

Can I pet it ???? (Beautiful art mama mia, the grass is especially detailed)

It's blazing hot today, but our roommate supplied us with enough fans to cool down a bit, and we have now a definitive design for our MC !!! Lucky Seryn doesn't live through heatwaves 😒 (though he has an impending apocalypse on his hands.)

Your pixel art is so beautiful !!!

3D environment with bright colors, prepared for our last step of overpainting future backgrounds of Amalgame

Same background, with bold black shadows and outline plus more subtile colored shadows to look like a comic book strip

When used on full background, our process can give the type of BG we showed on one of our previous posts !

3D models of bizarre houses with bright colors and an intense black outline

No character reveal for now, but we wanted to show you some sneak peak at a crucial step of our backgrounds ! The environment is created as 3D models that we export on Clip Studio Paint to overpaint like they were from comic books.

Hehehe we're close to finishing the design of the main cast 😁

Strange environment full of bright colors. The ground is a gear and there is several more gears between rocks and trees. A boat is partly buried in sand with several disks.

Yes yes yes boss ! We'll be able soon to show you a bit of character concept art, but 'til then we made a tumblr !!! You'll be able to see shiny things there ! Good Stuff ! murdock-prod.tumblr.com

Murdock, a crow with a top hat and a monocle, say "Hey Boss !!!" with wings stretched and a happy expression

Hey Boss !!! Happy to see you here my pal ! We're an indie game studio currently working on a visual novel ! Are you in ? 👀
