This is where I like it. The water looks in the lake looks like it's moving but it is actually just an illusion.

I'll be stopping by @vgeevents.bsky.social Nottinghamโ€ฌ for the first time later this month. It's too soon to have my own indie space, and I want to familiarize myself with the environment, but I shouldn't be hard to find. Just look for my Crestlich companion and say hi!

For my friends in the UK, you may chance upon these rare relics once in your lifetime.

Planning to follow @regetaacellc.bsky.social 's footsteps and tell more people about the dumb game I'm working on like some kind of missionary.

FYI I'm gonna be putting any art fight attacks made at me on my starting soon screen for the month, already using some FANTASTIC art from @zephyrsword.bsky.social

I was going to wait until this morning to buy a fan but I crawled to The Range in burning 31 degree weather at 17:30 because my frail body couldn't take it anymore.

If only we could sit patiently in the sea like the big kaiju.

#gamedev and followers, how are you surviving the heatwave so far?

In need of positive vibes. I know this is a selfish ask, but if you could send anything my way this morning, I'd appreciate it.

I've been trying to stuff down my internal stuff as much as I can the past few weeks, but it has been unimaginably difficult.

Slept a grand total of three hours and cant get back to sleep again. Trying to figure out how to best use this time.

The Electrolysis - the base of the Zeon Heralds.

...I think this is the first time an area has a visual spoiler that reveals a major plot twist that I have never discussed, so I have edited it appropriately.

Breath of Fire 2 had a hidden mechanic where certain spells would affect the terrain! It was so cool I wanted to figure out how to do it myself.

There's an even rarer terrain reaction in that one water tower iirc, if you use ice magic in there.

Bluesky doesn't allow multimedia posts so I couldn't attach this to the last one.

This is a standalone render of "The Crestlich Avatar" - funnily enough I was watching Majuular's Ultima Underworld 2 video and forgot how much Ultima uses Avatar as a word while drawing this.

The Avatar is a deadly force that can be steered by the "Command" ability. Once an optional boss npc in Ring Spirits - in Armour of the Abyss it is an unpredictable ally.

Meta Revelations - Armour of the Abyss is my Breath of Fire inspired rpg!
