Before we got started in game dev, we both thought save games were just... like... some sort of snapshot of the game state? Like maybe there was a standard way to do this? Apparently, for every game you kinda just make up the save/load structure as you go.

New hero in the works!

#pixelart #indiegames

A new challenger approaches! Now that our demo is up on Itch, we've been able to make some progress on further progression. Get ready for slimes to enter the fray.

#DesktopLegends #gamedev #indiegames

Already working on adding some suggested features to Desktop Legends. Coming soon: clicking the hero will make him attack immediately instead of having to wait for his auto-attack cooldown.

#DesktopLegends #gamedev #indiegames

We have a Steam page!

Desktop Legends is an idle desktop action game featuring fantasy character progression, incremental resource management, and visual customization. Help your hero take their legendary stand against the forces of darkness right on your desktop!

Every time...

We may not have the Steam page officially launched yet (it's coming, I promise) but here's one of the screenshots that will be on the page! Customize your arena, upgrade your hero, fight off hordes of enemies, all while going about your normal day.

I swear, so much of game design is just reiterating the user interface... Or fixing sprites that I'd missed doing a shadow on. I feel like I never get to check things off the list, we just add more on 🥲

#gamedev #gameart #indiegames

Summoning divine interventions? Yep, we're working on a desktop idler that will be fully idle, but with the option to be more involved whenever you want to. Call down meteors, shake goblins for loose change, and more!

Thoughts from dev today:

Didn’t know about #internationalcatday but now I do! Here’s a picture of our dev kitties, Charlie and Tress. Named for characters in Brandon Sanderson’s “Tress of the Emerald Sea.”

The Bestiary is shaping up for our game! Here you can see the Goblin's stats as it levels up. Goblins don't give many coins, but they're easy for the hero to kill quickly.

We have a hero! Not done with all of his animations yet, but he's looking mighty nice on the selection page already!

So, just gonna say, I kinda hate working on UI. Hate the art part of it, hate making it work in engine when things inevitably refuse to line up. But the finished product is so worth the struggle! Here's a tease of our menu which looks like a tome with bookmarks and wax seals.

Hey, it's Monday again! I've really been enjoying sharing my art progress as we go, so take a look. This week I wrapped up a second enemy, the Hobgoblin. Coming up, I'm going to be making art for the Steam store page, so keep an eye out for an announcement!

#pixelart #indiedev

We're inching closer to being ready to unveil our game for real. This week we've been building out the Steam store page and I'm kinda overwhelmed by how much Steam helps developers. Here's a sneak peak of one of the arena options!

#pixelart #indiegame

Here's the first sneak peak of our upcoming desktop idler: our first enemy! Because what's a fantasy game without Goblins?
