BEAN CONQUEST IS RELEASED! And the best part - it's completely free to play! Tell your friends about it if you think they'd like this kind of game!! [ #gamedev #indiedev #solodev ] fuzzymoth.itch.io/bean-conquest

New school year, new game, right? This guy's the protagonist; a malleable shell whose name and personality are largely up to your decisions. [ #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday ]

Harness the power of the Dark Star and you can annihilate anything that stands in your way - as long as you sacrifice enough units - in fuzzymoth.itch.io/bean-conquest, available for free! [ #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday ]

Another clip of me getting bodied by one of the later encounters. This features the Summoner trait, which not only swarms your enemies but also makes those swarms self-destruct [ #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday ]

Now that the game is released, the OST for Bean Conquest is up on Youtube! (don't mind the poor thumbnail quality, it's only on the bsky side) www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... [ #gamedev #indiedev #soundtrack ]

bean conquest releases tomorrow... No clip today, too busy doing a last minute patch on this incredibly annoying bug [ #gamedev #indiedev ]

Cool transitions for the boss fights [ #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday ]

I'm finally out of bugfixing limbo and I just finished working on one of the features I'm most excited for: HUGE MAPS! These add a ton of strategic depth to the game that wasn't present with the smaller areas [ #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #screenshotsaturday ]

Machine units are a very aggressive faction, headed by the fast and chaotic Bean Rider. Their bonus is a fleet of probes that greatly increase your DPS and provide additional shielding to allies when their owner dies. [ #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday ]

The Hivelord's ring of bees can deal incredible amounts of damage over time - but only if you can manage to keep your enemies within its area [ #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday ]

Void units are one of the smaller traits in the game. Their bonus is a high-damage death explosion that can easily swing a losing battle in your favor. [ #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday ]

Insects are one of the few trait combos in the game that don't give stat buffs; rather, they clone some of your units, allowing you to completely overwhelm your enemies [ #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #screenshotsaturday ]

Fancy menu animation for the game + button sfx! Still WIP (the past month has just been bugfixing so I don't have anything cooler to show off) [ #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #screenshotsaturday ]

Finally got around to implementing an actual pathfinding system, along with a more impactful system for commanding your army. Simple flanking maneuvers used to be the most you could do, but now they're the bare minimum [ #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #screenshotsaturday ]

Testing out new enemy designs.. #gamedev #gamemaker #indiedev

Late game battles can get fairly chaotic. Pirates are great for slowing down large armies like these with their water vortexes [ #gamedev #indiedev #solodev ]

Been working on adding more supportive beans that buff/heal allies, to make building your army a bit more interesting youtu.be/4t4kSgkZqZY [ #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #beans ]

How do y'all manage to get such crisp videos of your pixel art? Every time I try uploading any of my videos they always come out low quality, is it just the file size or is there some other trick? #gamedev #pixelart

Collect enough beans of the same trait and they can grant powerful payoffs - from big stat buffs to giant golems that can tear apart your enemies [ #gamedev #indiedev #beans ]

Star Wizards are powerful ranged generalists - excelling in damage, crowd control, and AoE (although they have a tendency to prioritize the nearest enemy over more important ones) [ #gamedev #indiedev #beans ]

Bean Conquest has a trailer and an itch.io page now!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=8q5g... [ #indiedev #gamedev #beans #trailer ]
