More monsters for spooky season! This stone golem is a vicious guard and protector. You don't want to get too close or stare into its eyes for too long...

Taking a moment to explore the countryside. This is a very safe and relaxing area - no giant rats or other creepy monsters in sight! The perfect place for a relaxing walk and perhaps a bit of foraging. 🌻 #indiegames #cozygames #pixelart

My latest game, Without a Dawn, is participating in Steam Autumn Sale: store.steampowered.com/app/3145620/...
It's a single sitting, psychological visual horror novel featuring unique pseudo-ascii art. 😊

Apparently, somewhere far in the west from us, it is National Ghost Hunting Day (who invents all these holidays?)! Ghosts and other spooky creatures will be among the many monsters you can fight in our game.
What is your favourite spooky monster?

My partner and I (2/4th of SNW) are both trans and attempting to leave the US (I’m also an Arab immigrant). It’s extremely expensive, so please consider buying our game/leaving it a review so that we have some sort of income when we inevitably have to make the jump and start over. Thank you.

The Finnish word for entrepreneur is so cool. It's yrittäjä, which is literally a person who tries. Not a person who succeeds. Not a person who makes a lot of money. Just a person who tries.

Anyway, we've been sick for a while, but we're going to TRY to get back on track with gamedev and stuff.

That's really amazing to hear! We will definitely be adding various improvements to balance out the early gameplay. The fishing spot changes locations randomly in each map, but it isn't really obvious to the player, so we might need to add more of them.

Process of making the CGs (Are we allowed to call them CGs if the game is not a visual novel?) for our game: First comes the sketch, then the flat colour, then shading, and last... Sparkles! Or a bit more animation, depending on the scene. #screenshotsaturday #indiegames #art

Question! If you had to pick just one of these humble abodes from Daughter of Crone as your home, which one would it be?

Some characters are just easier to write than others, and Tsundere Snufkin here is a bit of a challenge... I hope the players will love her anyway. Or at least love to hate her. #indiegames #meme #writing

Gorgeous" with the picture of a character (named Esther, who is a sweet cinnamon roll) from the game Daughter of Crone, and the bottom picture with him saying "You fucking donkey" to another character (Merhild, who is a cranky hermit)
