Pin Up I drew 2 years ago. #art #anthro #anthroart

Thank you! The steam page is still a wip while I work on the demo, but I will post more different gameplay when I am happy with some code.

If you like Spyro’s worlds and DMC’s combat, you might enjoy SOE. Been quietly fixing and polishing things lately—nothing flashy, just steady progress. Huge thanks to @sayuriartsy.bsky.social for bringing Mandy’s world to life.

Floating island map’s shaping up! Built a tool to optimize maps with one click—GPU-friendly exploring. Mandy can now pick up gems too! Big thanks to @sayuriartsy.bsky.social for helping it all shine.

Thank you Very much trying to keep optimized

Floating tower’s looking magical with the new lighting! Mandy’s fire dash even gets you into little secret rooms. Map’s feeling alive now—huge thanks to @sayuriartsy.bsky.social for making it all shine 🖤

Finally settled in after the UK move! No bean-sitting—remade the floating island level, Old Hinges tweaking Unreal & bugs gone. Big thanks to @sayuriartsy.bsky.social for Mandy’s model! Spyro + DMC vibes—would you play?

Level’s smooth now! Parkour spots are in so Mandy can hop, climb, and zip all over. Also finishing zones + clearing old assets—cleanup day! Big love to @sayuriartsy.bsky.social for the style 🖤

Busy adding menus—yes, the true heart of any game. Pause! Resolution options! UI that animates! Works with both controller & KB/M now too. Big love to @sayuriartsy.bsky.social for making it all look good even in debug menus 💖

Been cleaning out old meshes & effects, polishing movement, and giving Mandy more to hop around on! UI’s smoother too. Might be a bit quiet—I'm flying to the UK soon! Thanks to @sayuriartsy.bsky.social for keeping Mandy fresh 🖤

I really should get a few more wardogs and a Italy try to field a 2k chaos knight list, loved painting my Khonshu inspired abominant

Today's goal completed: Fixed up doorway transitions in the overworld. The doors still need to teleport you to specific places on the map they take you to, but other than that, we're good to go on that front.

Thank you,will keep it noted to make it very clear. It's a risk reward thing I am setting up, also some spells let you basically fly,but rather stop the player from using it rather let them know they could screw themselves.

Hmmm guess I need to improve the effect, the idea is when in mana burn mode you do more melee damage but spells start to use hp instead. but yeah when Mandy has those red flames around her and the mo bar turns red and opens,you are in mana burn mode...think it would be extra having some UI say that?

Mana Burn now has its own effect—helps stop spamming! Grabbing & throwing feels smoother too. Y’all really love seeing Mandy hop around, so I’m leaning into that. And yep—that’s SOE running on Steam 🖤
Big thanks to @SayuriArtsy!

One lucky winner will have a chance to win a one of a kind Flare drawing and 3 stickers. The deadline is July 21st. #art

Cleaned up Mandy’s movement—rope walking and point jumps are smooth and automatic now! You just move and she handles it. Also yes… she’s green now. I was bored. Huge thanks to @sayuriartsy.bsky.social for making her look amazing even in debug mode 💚

Messed around exploring that creepy castle again
It’s the perfect playground to show off Mandy’s wall-surfing lol.
Sometimes I just vibe around instead of progressing.
Too fun not to.
@sayuriartsy.bsky.social She helped me with Mandy's model #HacknSlash #UE5 #indiedev #gamedev #platformer

Finally got around to animating the flower-style HP bar!
Actually super proud of how the petals drop.
Landing the final blow on an imp feels way better now.
Little touches like this really bring the game to life.

Nudged the AI to behave a bit more smoothly today.
Overhauled their spawn and death effects way flashier now.
Tucked in a few under-the-hood fixes too.
Enemy encounters are feeling way more polished overall.
@sayuriartsy.bsky.social is helping me with design

Prototyping the overworld map—Mandy’s broom flight is in! You can swap between top-down and third-person views. Still early, but it already feels like freedom. Huge thanks to @sayuriartsy.bsky.social for making her fly 🖤

#UE5 #indiedev #witchygames

New spells added! Shadow Phase (slide through gaps) & Solid Fire (temporary platform). Still needs balance but they work and feel great! Big thanks to @sayuriartsy.bsky.social for making Mandy so magical 💫

#UE5 #indiedev #platformerdev

Gave Mandy the power to grab & throw enemies with her scarf. It’s a bit silly-looking, but yeeting imps feels great. Still a WIP, but stable for now! Big thanks to @sayuriartsy.bsky.social for helping shape her chaotic charm.

#UE5 #indiedev #gamedevlog

Mandy’s got three new attacks: a broom-snowboard move, a fire kick, and yes—she now summons a METEOR. Still working on something behind the scenes, but this chaos needed to exist. Shoutout to @sayuriartsy.bsky.social for the style!
