Hellforge Studios - MALA PETAKA OUT NOW! 👾

Feeling like it's a good time as any to announce who the 4th playable character will be: Gloriosa the Cobra!

"A gal with a passion for crafting weaponry and a diploma on chemistry, she loves combining both interests to develop unique and extremely dangerous custom munitions."

1/2

If you've been following us for a while now you've probably have already seen many of her weapon animations, which are now in-game too! We're just working on polishing things further to make a really good showcase of her badass gear and abilities :)

2/2

too much upwards force? 🤔

more improvements on the active ragdoll stuff and things

Our latest game, Mala Petaka, is 100% human made and you can get it right now!

My game also has this in the credit title.

My Indie game:
- Fast-paced Retro FPS
- Colorful SNES-like pixel art graphics
- 8bit SFX and awesome Chiptune BGM by Indonesian Chiptune veterans
- Various weapons to use and 20+ enemy types to destroy
- Destroy enemies with punches to gain health and armor bonus

...anyways, hi, we're Hellforge Studios, and we have an anti-genAI policy when it comes to our games and their development, because we love our developers and they just so happen to make great games already.

Yo folks! @vexonia.bsky.social is back at Waffle Iron Studios after a couple year hiatus.

She will be helping us finish Episode 2 in sound design and level design (mainly enhancing the lighting and sound environments and balancing).

Welcome back Vexonia!

Tomorrow is the sweet day for Saccharine's release.

Oh aye it's been a year since COVEN released , woo

Extraneum Post-Mortem, one year later It’s been one year since I released Extraneum, so I figured I’d write a post-mortem to explain my process, what went right and wrong, and as a mean to reflect on my own experience. How it started...

I wrote a post-mortem for Extraneum, to celebrate its first anniversary. I go over how it started, how development went, what went right and wrong, and what I have planned for the future.

A boxart mockup of Saccharine, complete with labels and logos and rating info. It shows a giant lady (Sanya) being attacked by a bunch of festive creatures and entities. Sanya is holding a giant shotgun.

In other news, something sweet and tasty is on the horizon...

We've been beta-testing Saccharine a bit more in prep for a 2.0 commercial release!

In the meantime... Boxart mockups are still cool, right?

A teaser for Saccharine. The text says "Prepare your Sweet Tooth for a festive feast!" and "November 12th, 2025". It also lists "Version 2.0! With TASTY music by James Paddock! Revisited Levels! Revamped Sprites and Cutscenes" The art itself shows a blonde feminine figure pointing a large shotgun at an equally large redheaded femme with a tail, who is on her knees, scuffed up and bleeding, about ready to serve cunt. Then Waffle Iron Studios' Logo is in the corner.

Set your clocks. In time for the holiday season, Saccharine 2.0 comes to itch.io and Steam on November 12th, 2025.

The atmosphere of my game

#gamedev #indiedev #gzdoom #boomershooter #retrofps #fps #chiptune #pixelart #indiegame

Hello folks, Sanya here, lead dev and fork maintainer for Griddle, our inhouse fork for our games.

In light of recent happenings with GZDoom, we will be basing upstream using UZDoom and not GZDoom.

Hi I am no longer going to contribute or support GZDoom

needs sfx + some more vfx but I'm happy with the animation

#gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity

Relentless Frontier runs off of its own engine fork, RFGriddle. We haven't used stock GZDoom in a very long time. Didn't want the fate of our game tied to certain unstable elements.

...Why am I bringing this up now? Bah, no reason!

How to draw Mala Petaka NPC/Enemy sprites without wasting too much time:
❌️ Using genAI
✅️ Don't give them feet, so I don't need to draw more frames for their walking animation
