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?

The Time Empress - A failed experiment that must be disposed of.

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.

Back home, hard at work on Armour of the Abyss.

...Have you played the demo yet?

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

I went with the hope your stall was back and it was.

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!

I should have turned timelapse on for this one, oh well.
It's getting late, I'll finish it tomorrow.

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.

Battle against the Crestlich named Behemoth.

Even though Meta Revelations - Ring Spirits was completed long before Armour of the Abyss, there are little references to future characters here. Such as Kadame Brasher, who also appears in the intro of Armour of the Abyss!

Do you pepper your other games with references?

Still wip, but working on Phinaxio in the style of Meta Revelations - Armour of the Abyss
June 6, 2025 at 9:42 AM
I started working on it in 2006 and it originally started as a Breath of Fire fangame. Instead of a dragon as a main character, it would have been a phoenix.
June 3, 2025 at 10:28 AM
For Bluesky only, I'd like to dedicate this month to featuring commentaries, art and references to my previous completed game - Meta Revelations - Ring Spirits.
June 3, 2025 at 10:27 AM
Fight giant monsters in Armour of the Abyss!
Adena Krieger battles creatures created in the form of cursed armour - the same armour she bears.

Play an unusual hero that has an uncertain fate!

Last post is relevant because I doodled this for the snow area in Armour of the Abyss today.
