LudosGD, Gamedev Bard

Hiya! I'm LudosGD, an indie gamedev and artist! You'll find me posting about my game projects, making art, and yapping about stuff I like, like games, comics and MTG! My last game is Canto I, a platformer inspired by the Divine Comedy, check it out on Steam! #gamedev | #indiedev | #art

This week no Joe The Mongoose updates, sorry bardlings! I'll be on vacation and also the blorbos are sleeping and I don't want to wake 'em up #JoeTheMongoose | #gamedev | #indiedev

The Hole 1/6

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

I've always drawn Joe the Mongoose with short sleeves, but the sprite has long sleeves! Someone told me about the discrepancy so I fixed it by changing the portraits (didn't wanna mess with sprite legibility). Luckily, I like the long sleeves better anyway! :D #gamedev | #indiedev | #JoeTheMongoose

Last month, Usagi Shima turned 3 years old! 🎂🐰 To our mobile players: Thank you from the bottom of my heart 😭❤️ You kept us afloat every year, and the Steam version exists because of you 🥹

Will moves!!!! (Will is the snake. He also doesn't have a walking animation yet, oops) #gamedev | #indiedev | #GodotEngine | #JoeTheMongoose

Burn With Me is out now!! store.steampowered.com/app/2954010/... I can say a lot about our eerie narrative deckbuilder, but this release trailer speaks louder than words.

She looks so done lmao #gamedev | #indiedev | #GodotEngine | #JoeTheMongoose

Gasp! The boulder agai-oh. I'm implementing a mode that removes reflex-based and dexterity-based challenges. My goal is to replace them with equally rewarding puzzle mechanics for players that prefer a relaxed experience. For now tho, bounce! :D #gamedev | #indiedev | #GodotEngine | #JoeTheMongoose

🎉 Under the Island is finally out now physically on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5. 🎉 Get yours while they're hot (in some place it's already sold out)! Thank you to all the players who made this possible and everyone else who supported us too!

MAGIC IS MADE MANIFEST Sealed Fortress, my dungeon-crawling rpg is out now! This has been my biggest project ever, check it out! Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/5210640/... itchio: minasheep.itch.io/sealed-fortr...

Here's a slightly more polished version of the boulder scene from a while ago. I'm a simple person. I still think "comically large boulder rolls towards you" is the pinnacle of adventure, and I absolutely want it in my game ù-ù #gamedev | #indiedev | #GodotEngine | #JoeTheMongoose

The whip is Joe the Mongoose's favorite tool for his job as an Explorer! Here's the whip usage animation in all four directions! :) #gamedev | #indiedev | #pixelart | #JoeTheMongoose

In 2017, I created Moxtober, a Magic version of Inktober. Create anything MTG-related (art, writing, etc) to fit daily prompts. Most popular w/ Magic design hobbyists! This is Year 10 of Moxtober. I'm 100% hands-off & the community still keeps it alive. 😭 Here's the 2026 prompt list they created.

She walks!!!! Here she comes!!! #gamedev | #indiedev | #pixelart | #JoeTheMongoose

BREAKING NEWS. This snake is very. polite,,,, #gamedev | #indiedev | #pixelart | #JoeTheMongoose

Will is an enthusiastic reporter, sent to report on, and possibly help on, Joe the Mongoose's adventure. He's a friendly and adaptable guy, but Will and Joe consider each other rivals of sorts... can they set their differences apart? #gamedev | #indiedev | #digitalArt | #JoeTheMongoose

More drawing!!! While Joe the Mongoose is used to work alone, for this adventure Katherine will follow and help him, as the game's co-protagonist! She's a gentle yet very determined individual. She's a purple american mink (I like purple) Enjoy! :D #gamedev #indiedev #digitalArt #JoeTheMongoose

More dialogue portrait!!! I like this one better since it's more dynamic and has more personality. Hope you like it too! :) #gamedev | #indiedev | #digitalArt | #JoeTheMongoose
