📢Today I realised a dream of mine and released a game on Steam! https://t.co/Vf0HRe6fGq Please check out Neophyte and leave a review if you can - it helps me out immensely! Finally, a big thank you to everyone that has supported me so far :) #gamemaker #indiedev

been a while since i've shown Neophyte some love, but I'm working on an update that includes improved visuals. here are a bunch of new player animations that i'm pretty happy with #gamedev #Pixelart #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

combat in my battle network/tile matching game is really starting to feel good (🔊) #screenshotsaturday #GameMaker #gamedev #indiedev

added more weapons and enemies to my tile matching battle network game #screenshotsaturday #GameMaker #gamedev #indiedev

added 2 new weapons (crystal hammer and bow) and transitions between the level map and combat (wip). the crystal hammer is strong but breaks when used, forcing you to quickly equip another weapon #screenshotsaturday #GameMaker #gamedev #indiedev

working on a boss fight for my tile-matching battle network inspired game #screenshotsaturday #GameMaker #gamedev #indiedev

players can enter the enemy grid but doing so spawns damaging crystals that can only be destroyed by chaining tiles. this encourages careful movement and prevents the player from spending too much time in the enemy grid. #screenshotsaturday #GameMaker #gamedev #indiedev

made a prototype for a tile-matching battle network idea i've had for a while (i'm still working on neophyte i promise) #GameMaker #gamedev #indiedev

i'm currently reworking the playable characters. the oracle no longer has reduced stats. instead, ghosts appear during combat to attack you with a variety of weapons (which is a more interesting way to challenge the player) #screenshotsaturday #GameMaker #gamedev #indiedev

excited to finally be working on a system i've wanted since the beginning of Neophyte: enemy evolutions. every run, 1 random enemy type from each arena will evolve to gain new behaviours and visuals (🔊) #screenshotsaturday #GameMaker #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev

the new scourge update for Neophyte is now live on steam! been having a blast playing it on #SteamDeck. it includes a complete redesign of the sewers boss, new attacks for all bosses, several enemy redesigns, and more! https://t.co/QDsT1J6Gde #indiegames #gamedev #GameMaker

reworking the sewers boss! i wanted to show the new design and attacks so it's in debug mode without the usual horde of enemies. it will be included in the next update (coming soon!) #screenshotsaturday #gamemaker

Finally getting around to adding native controller support to Neophyte! It's currently being tested on the beta branch on Steam (v0.3.02) - if you own the game, please give it a try and let me know what you think #GameMaker #gamedevelopment

Finally finished the spell rune update for neophyte! It adds a lot of run variety and, more importantly, zaniness is at an all time high. Try it now on steam and itch. Full update notes: https://t.co/RQeGuUWZDL #GameMaker #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev

finished 42 of 44 unique runes (2 per spell)! runes are equipped to a specific spell to change how it works in some way. the goal is to encourage different playstyles/builds during runs. here are a few of my favourites (🔊): #screenshotsaturday #GameMaker

wanted to let everyone know im still alive and working on neophyte! things are getting pretty zany though also a reminder that the good people of @lostlevelsclub interviewed me about game dev and neophyte - check it out: https://t.co/68sU9mbLpF #GameMaker #gamedev

Had a great time being chatting with @lostlevelsclub about neophyte and game dev! Check it out!

trying to get all the spell runes done for a big update coming in the near future. also gave the spiky enemies a pitchfork and visual update so they now deal directional contact damage #screenshotsaturday #gamemaker #indiedev

i wasn't too happy with combat in the clock room arena so i'm reworking it. this is a new enemy i'm testing out: the clockwork rocketeer. #gamemaker #indiedev

I’m really excited for the upcoming rune system for Neophyte which adds unique effects to spells. Runes are collected during runs and up to 2 runes can be equipped to each spell. #screenshotsaturday #gamemaker #indiedev
