Hi, I'm Dominik, a solo dev making a Persona-inspired JRPG called Veiled Shadows.

I'm building it after work and sharing the whole journey 😇

If you're into Persona vibes, mystery, and atmosphere, you're in the right place.

#jrpg #persona #indiegame

Thank you so much 🙏🙏

Sit down and take a moment to relax, you’ve earned it 🙏😇

The gang just chilling :)

More screenshots from my game 🥳

Besides mystery and a thrilling story, I absolutely love some slice if life 🫶

In my game, slice of life moments will be a big part, next to jrpg battles and an interesting story 💚

Police station model, finished 😼🙏

#indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #jrpg

Definitely the combination of the two 👌

Couch 🙏

Jrpg and Survival Horror games that inspire me in Spring Time 😊

Take a seat and listen what Chief Haru has to say (Ruby is getting scolded again 😭🙏)

Did I ever show Chief Haru? He's the chief of Hayakawa police and the player's supervisor 👮‍♂️

A little cutscene I made 🫶 It's from a hangout day where the characters just get to relax for a day or two 😇

Made some banners for the game 💫 Think like they’ll add more to the immersion 🌌

Old Street Design

New improved street design matching rural japanese streets more

Been working on making the streets more rural japan'ish, sorry for the goofy camera pictures 🫡

#gamedev #indiegame #jrpg

What’s your favorite “small town with a secret” story? (Games, shows, books - hit me!)

#gamedev #jrpg #indiedev #mystery

This banger shadow dropping today completely f'ed up my development schedule 🫡

Is this too much effort for a 15 second cutscene at the beginning of the game?

#gamedev #jrpg #solodev #indiedev

😮‍💨😮‍💨👌

Me at 1AM: “This cutscene needs more impact.”

Some changes I made in the main town 🤝 Still not 100% happy on how it looks, but I think it fits the rural japan style I'm going for way more than before 🫡

#gamedev #jrpg #indiegame

Wanted to share my latest devlog with you 🫡 HUD can be tricky and should never be underestimated 💚 #gamedev #indiedev #jrpg

Trying to balance slice-of-life and metaphysical mystery in one JRPG is… a journey. But hey, that’s Veiled Shadows for you.

Adding a simple system:
Estimated time: 30 mins
Actual time: 3 hours and an existential crisis.
#gamedev #indiegame #solodev

Some days I’m writing deep emotional scenes.
Other days I’m debugging why a cat won’t stop t-posing in a cutscene.
Game dev is never boring 🗿 #indiedev #gamedev
