Bearly Brave on Steam Bearly Brave is a 2D roguelike deck-building game set in a deceptively charming toy shop, where the cutest teddy bears come to life each night to fight in a no-holds-barred tournament that determines ...

Bearly Brave

I like the mechanics in this #roguethingie #deckbuilder #indiegame. You play all the cards in your hand at once, and this means the order of your cards matter. Attach different badges to cards to create combo multipliers, and manage a small inventory for bonuses.

im back on beat.

Here's a look at where I'm at with another enemy I'm making for MINDPALACE!
The 'Landmind' will burrow in the ground and lie in wait to ambush an unprepared player.
Pretty satisfied with most of the animation here! : 3

I spent an hour first thing after waking up every morning working on a typing game throughout the month of January

I'm continuing into February and I think it'll be wise to post my before/after #typeskiier #gamedev updates to BlueSky for the fun of it! Jan 1 -> Feb 1 progress in replies

Every self-respecting game with quests needs some place where players can see what tasks they picked up along the way. We also have something like that! Hard to call it a journal if it's digitalโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ“ฑ

No longer will you have to suffer the displeasure of having to delete your old save to start a new one. Or sacrifice your save file so that you can let a friend play through your game.

Dovvee's reQuest now supports multiple save files! ๐Ÿ’พ

Witness our unit XRay!

Seems simple but ended up being a fairly elaborate setup where it renders separately from the main scene and is overlaid as a 2D element.

easiest SRPG tactic: attack an enemy and inflict Burn, stand nearby to gain Atk, reach 30+ Atk to spawn Bonfire tiles, gain Armor near Bonfire, inflict Grease, the enemy explodes and the FBI shows up at your house

Been working on the person lookup UI today. Added gender and appearance information and the ability to favorite or delete a person. Also to only show favorite persons. It's getting quite usable now.

Progress Update: February 1st, 2026

January was a bit slow on the programming front, I tied up the few loose ends regarding sound work in the engine and put active development on the back burner a bit to focus on my art and sound skills. I hope to continue this approach for a few more weeks at least, and then begin work on the soundboard.

Kissed By A Star comes out tomorrow.

Never had I let my creative ambition sore so high, never had I let myself be so vulnerable.

If you liked Three Ghostly Roses/A Ghostly Rose, Cope Island, or Mownt: For Peace... Give this a try!

Okay, time to get back at it. Joined a 2-week game jam halfway through so I'm keeping the scope small.

Arkanoid, but make it Valentines Day Tennis. Let's see what I get done.

Afterglow is now big enough to require a vehicle, so here we are. Made in Blender then pixelated into a sprite. Sort of reminds me of wipeout? I need to add a lot more detail but it's a start.
