Today, I’d like to show you a picture of where Mr. Gregory 👨🦳 lives. This old man scavenges all around Qans, taking its treasures and relics. It sounds about right for a man like him to live in the middle of a cemetery, doesn’t it?

Let's watch a Game Designer play their own game design! I was a bit🤬about not remembering the right paths, lol. But wasn’t the ending rewarding? 🦋 #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart

In case anyone is seeing my post through a PC, here’s a static picture of it. The video looks pretty good on mobile, but not on PC though. Is anyone else here on Bluesky facing the same problem?

Thank you for the feedback, guys! Since I needed to animate the 🌳 (and I’m no animator 🤡), I wanted less detailed foliage, but not as simple as one of the options. You gave me some directions, and now I think I’ve reached what I was aiming for! Excited to show you the whole scene soon!

Today I felt like talking more about 👁️🗨️Sha! He’s the boss of Qans, our yellow city. In this video, I’m testing how it feels to fight him, looking for improvements and adjustments. All I can say is that it felt insanely difficult haha. 🫠 #indiegame #pixelart #gamedev

Use colors🟡🔴🔵 and listen to Dorothea's footsteps🔊 to navigate the maze in the Trial of the Grasshopper.
This is our hardest puzzle, and since I'm pretty clumsy at it, I’ll just show the beginning, where I don't embarrass myself too much lol.

Qans has a merchant who's also a looter, but he can only see bottles with yellow contents. 🟡 (He's also bad at opening chests.🔒) Luckily, Dorothea can use her scepter to reveal other colors 🔵🔴 and collect what the man couldn’t see. (She can also easily break the chests open.🔓) #indiegame #pixelart

In this video, I wanted to showcase the abandoned farm 👩🌾 (fun fact: in a ruined city, everything’s abandoned lol) and our color mechanism. The ladder becomes fully visible (and usable) when you activate the right color.🟥 #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart

It's of utmost importance to talk to every inhabitant you encounter in Undertones. You investigate the story, get directions, and uncover the cultural differences between species. While Dorothea doesn't even know what a 🐰 is, Bes, Lypi AND MYSELF are horrified that Mr. Gregory eats them! #pixelart

For all you turn-based combat lovers out there, this is how combat looks on Undertones!
Actions do not take place right after they are picked. That means that if you time it right and hit enemies on that sweet spot, not only you deal damage but you also interrupt their attack!

A little more from Undertones. Dorothea, Lypi and Bes are exploring the yellow city of Qans. There they discover that the exposure to certain colors changes how people behave!

We're moving away from X/Twitter since the platform broke the rules in our country, and it looks like Blue will be our new home! I hope to see most of my moots here!
Anyway, Indie Games rock! #Art #pixelart
