Yo, Crows! 🐦‍⬛ *Tainted Divinity* is alive! 🔥 Hand-drawn junkyard concept: rusty diesel rigs, Metrol’s ruins, and a creepy pyramid in the sky. 🌚 Noir comic vibes with handmade effects. Wild, huh? What’s the mood? Spill! Thx Leo! ^^ #indiedev #metroidvania #TaintedDivinity #gamedev #art #gameart

First look at our prototype location! Ruined city, rust, neon lights… Decay & glam, the full vibe. What time period do you think inspired our world? Big thanks to Leo t.me/dreams_of_me... for the awesome concepts! ^^

Hey Crows! Meet our main guy! Cybernetic arm , beat-up crow-like cloak, goggles, hooked nose—pure mech-noir vibes! You’ll see this face in visual novel-style chats in our metroidvania. Thoughts? #indiedev #metroidvania #TaintedDivinity #gamedev #art #gameart #creativity

Ravens are back! We’re pumped to dive into Shades of Psychosis again after a long break. New artist Ultramarine revamped the style—meet the new Masha & Lisa! Their minds are cracking…What do you see in their eyes? #IronRavens #ShadesOfPsychosis #HorrorGame #VisualNovel #GameDev #indidev #art

Hey, IronRaven squad here! Our metroidvania shooter prototype’s taking shape: some mechanics are in, still tweaking with tests. Huddled with our concept artist to lock in the vibe & colors, now sketching the hero & first zone. Stay tuned! #indiedev #metroidvania #TaintedDivinity #gamedev #game

Our new team logo is still in the works, but just take a look at the very first draft!

The Iron Raven (our team name) inscription, written in steampunk style. The very first draft.

IronRaven @ironravengame.bsky.social · Apr 8

And this is the old Shades of Psychosis vibe. I love it and we will definitely keep it. But visually it will be different.

IronRaven @ironravengame.bsky.social · Apr 8

Concept art for Tainted Divinity, generated by AI to show the style. I will be looking for artists to create future assets 🫦

Stay tuned, I can't wait for more art drawn by a human hand! 😍

IronRaven @ironravengame.bsky.social · Apr 8

Hey guys! IronRaven’s back! 2 yrs in an indie team, got dumped, but I’m good. Shades of Psychosis is alive with a new vibe, and I’m working on Tainted Divinity — a dope metroidvania with shooting. Got fave metroidvanias? Lemme know!"

And, also, I will be making a metroidvania in a completely different setting - a technological magician post-apocalypse in dieselpunk style

IronRaven @ironravengame.bsky.social · Apr 8

Now it will be the IronRaven account. My original company, which was created before Aliri. In it, I am currently developing a cool psychological thriller visual novel with an artist.

I have cool ideas, I just need to find people to implement them. But first, I will write a detailed GDD and a post about finding guys

Here is such a "funny" story

IronRaven @ironravengame.bsky.social · Apr 8

I was kicked out. Now I am literally left with nothing, because my files are not being given back and will be used. There is no point in suing about this in Russia. Apparently, now I will start over.

IronRaven @ironravengame.bsky.social · Apr 8

I feel like I left an abusive relationship after 10 years of marriage, and they kicked me out of the house and didn't even let me get my things, and they won't give them back

IronRaven @ironravengame.bsky.social · Apr 8

I worked with Aliri giving my all. Selfdevour was not my game any more than theirs. I lost 2 years of my life and a big chunk of myself.

I pointed out the problems to them, but I was often ignored, disrespected and humiliated. Now I've been kicked out.

if you see more Aliri - ignore them

Japanese mythology’s got creation gods Izanami & Izanagi. She swore to take 1000 souls a day, but he said he’d bring 1500 babies to life. In our game, we’re all about balance—life & death gotta stay even. But something’s gonna mess it up… Who do you think? #gamedev #indiegame

IronRaven @ironravengame.bsky.social · Apr 3

Don’t miss out on grabbing some cashback on souls from Izanami while the deal’s still on! 💸🖤

#indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #selfdevour #metroidvania #art #JapaneseCulture #actionadventure #darkfantasy #Japanesemythology #Rugamedev

comic about the goddess of death Izanami and the god of life Izanagi. In our game they have an agreement that there should be a balance between the dead and the living. The comic is like this: - Izadami! You said you’d take 1000 souls for every 1000 born! (the scales are balanced in the background) - And I am taking… personally - Then what’s this? (the scales are turned towards her, people are climbing on them)

comic about the goddess of death Izanami and the god of life Izanagi. In our game, they have an agreement that there should be a balance between the dead and the living. Continues the first panel. It says: - And this… is cashback. then there is an inscription with a drawn bank card: 5% cashback on all souls. Hurry up and sign up before humanity’s downfall, and get free card maintenance forever!

Ooo, it's cool that it evokes emotions and memories. and the excerpt is cool, although old :D It's funny how images of different mythologies intertwine in the unconscious images of people
