Those 2016 throwbacks are so last week! Here is an original 'devil' concept Dan drew in Grade 5 (circa 1998), and a boss concept he did just recently. Satan, now known as Gary, is in an office politics nightmare after a hostile takeover from Heaven. Performance Review ahoy! #indiegames #indiegamedev

In an OUTRAGEOUS and SHOCKING act of pure PLAGIARISM, this rad comic totally STOLE OUR IDEA of having a possessed girl strapped to a bed. BOYCOTT! #indiegames #indiedev #comics #art #theexorcist

Art update! Here is Timbsbly, a new enemy type. He will replace the boring old floating heads in the game, which was the first enemy Dan ever made. It is a modular enemy type, so he can take various forms with different looks (shown, along with the gore layers), behaviours and attacks. Cute/weird!

New year, new enemy! Meet the Spider Birther: it spawns little spiders every time you damage it. This animation test shows the procedural animation that Dan is using for spider enemies. Creepy! #indiegames #indiegamedev #horrorgames

New build, free on Steam Playtest! New feature? SWAPPABLE WEAPONS, baby! Instead of having just items, Ember can now carry up to two weapons with unique projectile types, that then synergises with items and upgrades to make the crazy kinds of build the game is getting known for. #indiegames

Because reasons, we needed to give Abe a bit more personality, so he didn’t seem like such an inert chainsaw type dude. Dan delivered with aplomb, as always. #indiegames #indiegamedevs #horrorgames #indiehorror

A lot of the business failures of the games industry are really rooted in this desire to create a product that dominates the market. The recent Amazon thing really highlights that: they wanted to create a product that outperformed Steam, but they didn't understand Steam or what the audience wanted.

PAX AUS 2025 – Bullet Hell Genre Mashups | Player2.net.au
PAX AUS 2025 - Bullet Hell Genre Mashups I’m not great with twin stick control schemes, so I’ve never entirely understood how people can love (or play … or even understand) the bullet hell genre. This deficit is most likely because I’m just slightly too old to have grown up with modern consoles and controllers.
