This is where I like it. The water looks in the lake looks like it's moving but it is actually just an illusion.

I'll be stopping by @vgeevents.bsky.social Nottingham‬ for the first time later this month. It's too soon to have my own indie space, and I want to familiarize myself with the environment, but I shouldn't be hard to find. Just look for my Crestlich companion and say hi!

For my friends in the UK, you may chance upon these rare relics once in your lifetime.

Planning to follow @regetaacellc.bsky.social 's footsteps and tell more people about the dumb game I'm working on like some kind of missionary.

#gamedev and followers, how are you surviving the heatwave so far?
July 1, 2025 at 12:55 PM
In need of positive vibes. I know this is a selfish ask, but if you could send anything my way this morning, I'd appreciate it.

I've been trying to stuff down my internal stuff as much as I can the past few weeks, but it has been unimaginably difficult.

Slept a grand total of three hours and cant get back to sleep again. Trying to figure out how to best use this time.

The Electrolysis - the base of the Zeon Heralds.

...I think this is the first time an area has a visual spoiler that reveals a major plot twist that I have never discussed, so I have edited it appropriately.

@fuzziesartdesigns.bsky.social Thank you for being here today!

Bluesky doesn't allow multimedia posts so I couldn't attach this to the last one.

This is a standalone render of "The Crestlich Avatar" - funnily enough I was watching Majuular's Ultima Underworld 2 video and forgot how much Ultima uses Avatar as a word while drawing this.

The Avatar is a deadly force that can be steered by the "Command" ability. Once an optional boss npc in Ring Spirits - in Armour of the Abyss it is an unpredictable ally.

Meta Revelations - Armour of the Abyss is my Breath of Fire inspired rpg!

Adena keeps finding herself imprisoned, like how you can't have a Ys game without Adol Christin taking down a boat with him.

Adena's Battle Mode 3 - Assassin (BM3)
is the heroic bridge between herself and her indomitable Crestlich Avatar form.

Her Golden Bite manifests into claw weapons, that combine with speed into a flurry of strikes.
