Almear

Still mostly working on the daytime mood of the game.

Not used to the nighttime vibe yet…
but I kinda love how it feels. 🌙

#IndieDevs #gamedevs

Messing around with a fake campfire light.

Not sure if it works…
but it feels warmer somehow 🔥

#RPG #indiegame

I didn’t expect this to matter that much.
Running + glider = faster descent.

And it feels right.
First time I’m proud of the gamefeel!

#gamedev #indiedev

Thank you! I'm glad that you like it. I changed the colour so many times to get something I liked.

It wasn't planned for the hero to be able to run, but after trying again and again, I started to find him slow... so there you go! 🏃

In my game, you often wait for characters to do something.
Sometimes they do.
Sometimes they don’t...

#indiegame #gamedev #pixelart

I’m experimenting ways to make traveling faster in my game.
Lots of trial and error so far...

If you have any ideas, I'm all ears!

You might be surprised by what the people of Almear do with their day if you follow them... or not. 🍁

#indiegame #gamedev #pixelart

What would you add to this forest if you were the developer?

Honestly, I'm tempted to keep it almost empty...🍁

#indiegame #gamedev #pixelart

Be careful: when the battle starts, it might catch you off guard.
Ready or not… the enemies are.

I tend to underestimate maps where 'nothing happens'.

Sometimes that’s exactly where everything happens… you’re just not there at the right moment.

#indiegame #gamedev #pixelart

In the end, the most difficult part of the combat system...
was the hero's victory dance...

#indiegame #gamedev

Really appreciate it, mate!

New enemy: Flamy.
A tiny fireball that doesn’t look very threatening…
until it decides to charge straight at you.

#indiegame #gamedev #pixelart

Development is moving forward! I finally checked off the features that scared me the most

A playable demo is getting closer…👀

The real choice isn’t in the dialogue.
It’s in what you decide to do after reading it.

#indiegame #gamedev #pixelart

Added the journal system today.
Each meeting, each rumor, each word gets recorded.
Maybe, one day, it’ll all make sense.

#pixelart #rpg #indiedev #indiegame

Thx! Glad you like it

I’m finally starting to get the atmosphere I wanted, a mix of calm, mystery, and warmth 🍁

(Yes, the café is called E-Coffe. Yes, I’m going to change it. I panicked when I made it 😎)

Life takes shape, the inhabitants of Almear talk to each other. You just have to get close enough to hear what they’re saying

#pixelart #gamedev #indiegame

Every RPG needs a slime!
I don’t make the rules.

A first look at the village.
This is where everything begins…
and begins again. 👀

#pixelart #gamedev #indiegame

It’s been autumn in Almear... for far too long.

#pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

After six months of “I’ll do it later,” the choice-based dialogue system is finally here!

#indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

He told us to stay hidden, but...

#pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Trying to recreate that Mario & Luigi timing-based feeling. The hero splits into clones and stomps the enemy one by one.

Think you’d land all the hits? 👀

Sometimes, I just want to make map decorations for my own enjoyment.

#pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

🎮 First playable preview of my pixel art RPG.
I finally focused on the opening scene!

#indiegame #pixelart #gamemaker

I've reworked this combat system so many times... I'm really proud to finally have something that feels fluid to me!
What do you think, does it feel good to watch?

#gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedevelopers

It’s a luxury to have the time to really develop your ideas.
And I plan to enjoy every second of it. 🎮
