Final shot for our Castle Come trailer. The in-engine text meant for a lot of retakes whenever we had to adjust it haha. Probably would have been nicer to render out a mask or sth but hey

Share your crosssections! #crosssection #illustration #gamedev #castlecome
A poster for the game Castle Come. There is an isometric view of a crosssection of a mecha on it, revealing crew quarters, engines and other innerworks.

With hand it begins, with hand it ends. #art #illustration
A hand holds down a sketchbook on a wooden table. The sketchbook shows an ink drawing of a godess like character that displays many hands, has a finger shaped dress and forms her hands in a praying gesture

If you see this post a bird. #art #illustration
Dragon like bird creature with its head tilted to the left. It has an open beak, screaming. Long fingered hands with hefty claws are at the end of its arms

Bluesky keeps being a bit of a mystery to me, but I like the vibe. So anyways, we just announced our game Castle Come. Its about mechas fighting each other to find some kind of salvation. #gamedev #indiegames #gaming
There is a mecha like structure with mechanical legs standing in the middle of a lush forest. In the lower corner there is a tower like building.
