Gonna be cross-posting between BlueSky and #mastodon from here on. In light of recent events, it's becoming evident that I should keep some bridges built just in case one island suddenly burns down...
So yeah, please come and follow me here as well!

Dunno about you guys, but to me "indie" always used to mean "one dude/really small group with a minimal budget and a dream"
I'm not here to try and discredit any of the devs' merits tonight, but like; what's even the point of the "indie awards" if it's just gonna be yet another circle of titans?

Fire Arrow is a pretty simplistic charge ability, but I like that it has that element of multiple use cases.
It's only directly shown to light up torches, but you can also burn down a column of vines with it. Discovering that on your own is the way forward.

I generally love working with most colors; my drawing tools allow me to create soft tones, and also to mix, erase, and apply them with versatility!🎨

Okay but real talk... When and WHY *did* we start accepting the idea that an INDIE game could be backed by a mega corp?
Sure, we could dig down the rabbit hole of "what about KS projects" or "type of engine" like a bunch of dwarves, but...
Really? "Independent" game? When a corpo is supporting it?

"Indie, should mean 'independent', full stop"

While it DOES raise questions about crowd-funded projects, there really is something to be said about "indie games" that were brought up on absurd levels of funding; especially when it's from corporations

At some point, you come accross an old, unhabited ruin.
This was something to change the game's pacing
Through the stained glass, you can see connections with another game I made.
