Nyla is genuinely one of the kindest and most talented people I know. If you or anyone in your network is looking for a skilled environment artist, please consider reaching out to her. She absolutely deserves an amazing next opportunity! 💙 bsky.app/profile/falt...

Hey! Unfortunately, with my first job in the games industry, I have been hit with layoffs at That's No Moon. Hit me up if there's any environment art positions open remotely or in LA! I'm gonna go back to personal projects and playing cyberpunk probably 👍

Yeah, everyone warned me not to make a huge-ass farming game combined with literally Pokémon… but look now at my glorious creation✨ And... SURPRISE 😆 Ova Magica 1.0 is officially OUT TODAY on Steam 💚 🎮 Consoles launch July 21 (Everyone also warned me not to shadow drop😂)

A little shoutout for Llewl and the Lyre of Two Worlds, a heartfelt story-driven JRPG with a classic late '90s vibe where strategy shapes every battle. If this sounds like your kind of game, please consider taking a look and spreading the word. Every bit helps. 💙 bsky.app/profile/mana...

Tomorrow is the biggest announcement we’ve ever made for Ova Magica 😆 And let’s just say… the announcement itself might not be the only surprise💚 See you tomorrow at the Cozy & Family Friendly Games Celebration👀

Another concept art I'm currently turning into 3D. This time it's for General Caelia, one of the newer enemies in my little project, who recently received a visual overhaul to better reflect her faction's blend of organic and mechanical design. #indiedev #gamedev

I'm trying to work up the courage to post here more often again. 😅So here's a piece of concept art that I'm currently turning into 3D for one of the drivable/hijackable mechs in my little game. 🤖

Concept art for Victor an ex-general who lost most of his original body while in enemy captivity and was reconstructed as an almost fully mechanical automaton. He’ll be one of the hireable mercenaries and if everything goes well one of the romanceable characters in my little game #indiedev #gamedev

My little game comes with two visual styles. It has honestly meant double the work for me as a small dev but also double the fun, even if it’s a bit more time-consuming. 😅 As always I hope you’re doing well and thanks again to everyone for your warm and kind comments! 💖😭 #3d #art

A closer look at Zain’s beast form model (chibi form). I’m not sure I’m fully pulling it off yet 😭 but my goal has always been to create a story driven RPG with cozy life and dating-sim elements, plus darker undertones for a bit of contrast which in my opinion can be a funny contrast. #3d #art

In my little game, an infectious curse spreads through the land, slowly turning people into beasts. After countless failed attempts to cure it, he found a temporary way to control it, at a cost. Still, he chose to embrace it for the greater good. 😊💖

Hey everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful start to the new year! Honestly, it’s been a while since I posted anything on social media 😓 but I’m glad to be back. 😊 Hope you’re having a lovely day! 💖 #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #indiegames #videogames

I’ve recently decided to start a small devlog series on itch.io to share my progress, both old and new, the ups and downs, and that will eventually lead up to my first demo release. I’ve already started on the second entry, but got interrupted by my birthday. 😅 forlorn-alex.itch.io/forlorn-memo...

Concept art for Laizehl, a party member and social link. Laizehl is a wind adept and one of the remaining members of the Kerta clan. Reliable but a handful, Laizehl sets out on a journey in pursuit of revenge. #gamedev | #indiegame | #indiedev

It's time for another #screenshotsaturday! Here's Baird's Arc Wave EX-Tech! Still have some UI bugs to fix, but it's ready to hook up to player input and enemy damage! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #videogames #jrpg #rpg #gameart #animation #gravastar #turnbased #battle

Regarding Forlorn Memories I have decided after a long time that I’ll be opening a new Discord server soon and launching a devlog series on itch.io to better explain what the game is about share my development journey including its ups and downs and lead up to the demo release I promised so long ago

After years of ups & downs, my previous passion project Liquidation, a multiplayer RTS now under new leadership is finally seeing the light of day! I’m so glad the time and effort I poured into this little love letter to the RTS genre wasn’t in vain. 😭💙 #indiedev #indiegames #realtimestrategy

I think my last horse-related clip was from back when my little game still had tank controls. I'm still not completely satisfied with it (still a lot to improve 😭), but at least I no longer regret adding sprinting, climbing, gliding, flying, and jumping to the game. 😅 #lowpoly #indiegamedev #rpg

Since I haven't posted it on BlueSky yet, you can also optionally have children with your love interest in my little game, with the children's personality and appearance taking the parents' genes into account. And yes, you can of course also adopt children. 👶🍼 #lowpoly #indiegamedev #rpg

I’ve been secretly working on an optional co-op mode for my little game for a while now. Hopefully, all the effort and the tears I shed making it happen will be worth it, and someone will actually use it. 😅😭
