a new skill that shows you enemies weakness/resistance in battle. Later in the game you’ll get a bestiary that you can also look this info up in but it can be hard to remember everything during a battle, plus bestiary only shows info for defeated enemies #rpg #indiegame #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Ok so now when using elemental attacks it’ll indicate if the enemy has a weakness or resistance to that element. You’ll still want to experiment and pay attention to the numbers since you don’t know *how much* they’re weak/resistant to it #indiegame #rpg #gamedev #indiedev #jrpg

If you saw this

+🔥

After attacking an enemy with fire in an rpg would you assume it means

- they’re weak to fire
- they’re resistant to fire

Added a simple effect for when enemies transform. A number of enemies in the game can transform, you’ll want to kill then before they do since they usually become stronger #indiegame #rpg #indiedev #gamedev #retrogaming

Btw you can wishlist and try out demo

Added a simple effect for when enemies summon other enemies into the battle #rpg #indiegame #indiedev

Added a simple graphic effect to go along with the hide underground/underwater ability (skeleton just being used for testing haha) #rpg #indiegame #indiedev

Should I set my demo page on Steam as a separate page so I can get reviews on it or is it better to wait until the full game is released to start getting reviews? #indiedev #gamedev

Showing a move enemies can use to hide underground. Could use some rock particles during the effect. While underground you can only hit them for 1 damage, but maybe earth magic should still deal good damage #rpg #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #jrpg

Did a little more work on this song I was doing for our game Destiny Spire. Added a melody line and a second part with different chords. I wanted to also have another section that switches it up a bit but I’m not so sure how to do it #chiptunes #indiedev #gamedev #gamemusic

Idk if this is gonna be anything but I started making a song in famitracker for Destiny Spire last night. Just some chords atm, but maybe it’ll become something we’ll see… #indiedev #chiptunes #gamedev #indiegame #rpg

Testing out an idea of how to show the timer for stat buffs without adding timer bars everywhere. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #rpg #jrpg

Working on a mechanic I didnt have time to add before #SteamNextFest Soon youll be able to equip shields which adds the guard option to a characters combat menu. Half way done with the guard character sprites.

Check out our retro RPG Destiny Spire in the #SteamNextFest ! Hectic take on a turn based battle system and 2 dungeons to complete. Should take about 1 hour to complete. Full game is around 30 hours of retro goodness

Hey #gamemakerstudio users, does anyone have experience setting up Steam achievements? I Cant seem to get them working. I set up the achievement in steamworks (on the normal and demo pages just in case), checked the box under features, and this is the code I’m using

Did you know our game Destiny Spire is gonna be in the #SteamNextFest ? Im just working on a small update to the demo but why not wishlist the game if you want a retro RPG with active time battles & filled with adventure?

Someone suggested adding a tutorial battle to Destiny Spire and I thought its a great idea so I started working on it tonight. I hope to be able to add it to the demo in time for the next fest. Didn’t get too far tonight but coming along #rpg #indiegames #pixelgames #retrogaming #jrpg

Had an idea today for a battle mechanic today. Before there were no critical hits but now if you attack just as an enemies attack bar is full you’ll deal extra damage. Careful though cause attacking an enemy while its attacking will miss #indiegame #rpg #pixelgames #retrogaming #gamedev

One of my goals with graphic changes Ive been doing is making it easier to tell whats happening in battle, so I added sprite recoloring for status effects Lucky theres only 2 statuses so I could make a way it displays both at once #indiegame #rpg #pixelgames #gamedev #retrogaming
October 1, 2025 at 9:38 AM
Was able to use my palette change shader and some partial sprite draws to create an effect when characters are wading in water. Before a ripple sprite that covered the bottom half of their sprite would just be slapped over them haha #indiedev #gamedev #rpg #retrogaming #indierpg
