Before I begin visually designing a cast of characters for my indie games I like to 'fantasy cast' them.

AdventureX - An Adventure Worth Taking | So Many Games AdventureX was an unowned to us before this year, but it quickly turned into one of our favourite gaming events of the year. Read on to find out why…

We headed to AdventureX, an adventure game event, over the weekend to check out the many games and panels on offer.

Discover our experiences in our latest article, which also includes thoughts from developer Alex Kanaris-Sotiriou.

The Polygon Treehouse art style came from asking:

What would happen if we removed traditional texturing and lighting from the standard 3D pipeline?

The top of an article in a physical magazine.   It shows a potato-faced man looking wistfully into the distance as if he's trying to remember whether he has left the gas on or not.

I was super chuffed for my 3D topology to make it onto @flippednormals.bsky.social last year.

One thing I'm a massive proponent of when starting development on a new indie game...

Getting the music and soundscape in ASAP.

If you think we did an entire episode about Hades II, and I WOULDN'T bring up my love for @kanaratron.bsky.social's "Mythwrecked", you are the silliest of gooses.

Today, I'm overhauling the stylized 'unlit' lighting system I created for Rök/Mythwrecked, to evolve things for our next indie game.

It's always good to include a human figure in your work for scale.
