Since Idosra released I've heard a lot of positive feedback about the game's music. That was the work of @musicvsartstuff.bsky.social. Go check out her work! If you're an #indiedeveloper, I highly recommend her services. She's a pleasure to work with.

Idosra now fully supports user mods. The demos for Steam Next Fest and Oak City Indie Games 2025 are implemented as mods. Players will be able to add their own levels, dialogs, maps, or replace the default ones.

Did you know... Despite its DOS game inspirations, much of Idosra was developed on Linux using a wide array of open source tools and 'free-as-in-freedom' software?

Happy Halloween 2025! This year's Halloween card adds more of the cast in costumes! Can you guess what all of them are?

Here's an #indiegamedev tip! I wanted to generate business cards with Steam keys for distribution to press at Oak City Indie Games 2025. Each card needs its own unique back with key!

I was able to automate this process using ImageMagick and some Bash shell tricks.

I like making idle animations. I expanded on one of my favorite ones. In this sequence Marika, the player character, imitates Samara from "The Ring".

Some revised 256-color artwork. The first version was 3000px wide. This is the in-game version, 432x240 base resolution.

This illustration follows "Water Ruins", which is one of my favorite levels.

Spent most of my development time today tracking down a bug in the level rendering code that draws grass blades in front of the characters' feet. Grass no longer draws over the menu buttons!

I had some time left to draw some 256-color illustrations. Here is one!
