The day has come. After half a year in early access Abyss Chaser is finally live in v1.0. IT was a wild ride. I learned a lot and gained a ton of new skills. So happy that it's done! See my launch trailer:

Killing time before 1.0 launch of Abyss Chaser I did some drawing for my next game. This time it's a mood mock up for campfire rest scene. It was my first attempt at animating fire and sub-pixel breathing animation. #pixelart #animation #fire #campfire #blonde #goth

I've finally tried to place her into a target environment and test the sprite in a context animation. I hope that the next animation I post will be captured in-engine. #pixelart #animation #woodcutting #goth #blonde #indiedev #solodev

This time a scene from Abyss Chaser - the game I'm hoping to push out of Early Access soon. This is Lady Astarte. A demon with cryptic motives and Abaddon's most important ally. #pixelart #demon #blonde #animation #idle #indiedev #solodev

By far the most challenging walk angle I've done so far. Skirt and hair sway are intentionally exaggerated to make her stride feel more confident and dynamic. What do you think? #pixelart #goth #blonde #walk #walkcycle #skirt #animation #indiedev

This time I tried my hand at animating side walk animations for my protagonist. The animations are symmetrical except for hairstyle, axe and the glowing mark. What do you think? #pixelart #pixelanimation #indiedev #solodev #goth #blonde #walkcycle

First animation of my protagonist: Hope. This was lots of fun but also quite a challenge. I never tried 8-frames female walk cycle before. Let me know what you think about it! #pixelart #walkcycle #indiedev #solodev #goth #blonde

Can't decide on the hairstyle for my protagonist. Which one do you like best? #pixelart #indiedev #solodev #goth #hairstyle

This feels like an early birthday present for me! Rogueliker decided to review Abyss Chaser and in a very favorable tone too :) #indiedev #solodev #roguelite

Abyss Chaser is a crunchy, sword-swinging action-RPG, and it just got a hellish update - Rogueliker
Abyss Chaser is a sword-swinging action-roguelite with demonic vibes and a lot of personality.

Progress on my protagonist. Trying different perspectives to make sure that the silhouette works at every angle. Gives a cool "spin" effect if animated. Still not sure if the pixel count is enough... #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #goth
July 5, 2025 at 10:09 PM
Can't decide if I should go for blue or purple tint. Which one suits the "gothic" vibe better? #pixelart #indiedev #goth

Abyss Chaser just got reviewed in Steamgifts Magazine vol. 16. It also features an interview with me. It's the first written review of my game. So happy that this happened:) #indiedev #gamedev #review #interview heyzine.com/flip-book/aa...

Noon on the launch day is a perfect moment to find out that your save system was just pretending to work. Anyway, all good now. No more issues found. Hitting the big green button in 5 hours. Wish me luck! #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #alittlestressed

I've heard devlogs were a thing so I tried my odds for the very first time as YouTube content creator :D Here's the video about Abyss Chaser where I talk about the genesis of my game. Enjoy! #devlog #indiedev #gamedev #solodev youtu.be/5KIGUI7bQRc

Now that the core of Abyss Chaser is done and proved in the Next Fest it's time to work on content for full release. Here's my progress on one of in-game characters: Eisheth, Abaddon's ex-girlfriend. #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #abysschaser

It's truly an amazing feeling to have your game reviewed by a real YouTuber. I don't think I ever appreciated enough that these guys put their time and effort to promote our games. Really excited to see the very first review of Abyss Chaser on YT: www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-M8... #solodev #indiedev

I've just realized that in the upcoming Next Fest I'm going to compete for player's attention with 418 other roguelikes... While there are for example only 63 farming sims. I guess this highlights the importance of picking the right genre when starting an indie game. #indiedev #gamedev #solodev

Friendly reminder to all #indiedev who already have a Steam page up. It's important to revisit your uploaded Steam assets once in a while and refresh them with more recent content. It boosts the quality of your page and gives you a chance to acknowledge the progress you've made since it was posted.

I played this video as a background noise but it's surprisingly valuable and I believe relevant for my #indiedev and #gamedev. We all know that content creation is crucial to promote our work but I rarely find advice on how to start it helpful at all. Beginnings are tough. youtu.be/ES4q_qC1AKw?...

I often get the question "Why should I play Abyss Chaser instead of X or Y?" When I designed my game I never wanted to outbest Hades or Binding of Isaac but instead to make something for people that enjoyed playing them and wanted more. Just as I did. #gamedev #indiedev #roguelikedev
