Here's the process.
In Beloved Bound, I decided not to use traditional key poses for walk-cycle animations. My goal is to create decent animations with a minimal frame count, like 3โ6 frames.

How's the Development Progress?
We're in the writing phase. Thereโs nothing visual to share. No new art, no cool mechanics. Just walls of dialogue, spreadsheets, revisions, and restructuring.๐ Can't wait to finish this and get into cool stuff again!
Beloved Bound is a cozy, story-driven adventure game focused on exploration, atmosphere, and storytelling. Expect environmental puzzles, character interactions, and small details that reward curiosity.
Beloved Bound Demo - Play on Browser version is now available on itch.io! lylacgames.itch.io/belovedbound

It started with one cottage sketch, then demo and our first indie event. We wrote a recap about Beloved Boundโs development up until now. #2025recap
Meet Tan, our protagonist.
A quiet boy raised to follow orders, now trapped in Sanctuary Valley. He's obedient at first but as he spends time with others, he begins to question the rules meant to contain him.
Beloved Bound is participating in Southeast Asia Games Onward 2025! From 8th - 31 December 2025, our games will be showcased on Steam and Itch.io
Thank you to @seagamethetic.bsky.social and @virtualseasia.com for making this possible! #SEAGO2025
Hi, Meems. Thanks for the love.๐ So happy you enjoyed Beloved Bound.
Didnโt get to VOID today, but puni the florist by @earthquackgames.bsky.social and beloved bound by @lylacgames.bsky.social were incredible!!! Got a bit confused but was still fun!
Updated Beloved Bound splash art!
More characters, more dramatic, and (hopefully) more eye-catching! ๐ซ

I did a few quick shots for Tan's memory flash scene.
They're meant to appear for only a split second, so try swiping through them fast...๐ #pixelart

Meet Foo - the Authority Defier.
An energetic freerunner whose mission is to test the limits of every rule in Sanctuary Valley. #pixelart #indiedev
Cheerful, strict, bound by rules. Plays the role of enforcer in Sanctuary Valley, ensuring no one breaks the peace. Loves structure and control. Knows the full rulebook and insists on enforcing it.
Meet Alex - Rule Keeper of Sanctuary Valley.

During the event, we noticed that some players were mashing through dialogue and accidentally skipping choices, so we rebuilt the choice system! Now, the game gives a clear signal before a choice appears, and youโll need to move first before confirming.

Happy Halloween!
