Yo, Crows! 🐦‍⬛ *Tainted Divinity* is alive! 🔥 Hand-drawn junkyard concept: rusty diesel rigs, Metrol’s ruins, and a creepy pyramid in the sky. 🌚 Noir comic vibes with handmade effects. Wild, huh? What’s the mood? Spill! Thx Leo! ^^ #indiedev #metroidvania #TaintedDivinity #gamedev #art #gameart

First look at our prototype location! Ruined city, rust, neon lights… Decay & glam, the full vibe. What time period do you think inspired our world? Big thanks to Leo t.me/dreams_of_me... for the awesome concepts! ^^

Hey, IronRaven squad here! Our metroidvania shooter prototype’s taking shape: some mechanics are in, still tweaking with tests. Huddled with our concept artist to lock in the vibe & colors, now sketching the hero & first zone. Stay tuned! #indiedev #metroidvania #TaintedDivinity #gamedev #game

And this is the old Shades of Psychosis vibe. I love it and we will definitely keep it. But visually it will be different.

Now it will be the IronRaven account. My original company, which was created before Aliri. In it, I am currently developing a cool psychological thriller visual novel with an artist.

Japanese mythology’s got creation gods Izanami & Izanagi. She swore to take 1000 souls a day, but he said he’d bring 1500 babies to life. In our game, we’re all about balance—life & death gotta stay even. But something’s gonna mess it up… Who do you think? #gamedev #indiegame

Don’t miss out on grabbing some cashback on souls from Izanami while the deal’s still on! 💸🖤

comic about the goddess of death Izanami and the god of life Izanagi. In our game they have an agreement that there should be a balance between the dead and the living. The comic is like this: - Izadami! You said you’d take 1000 souls for every 1000 born! (the scales are balanced in the background) - And I am taking… personally - Then what’s this? (the scales are turned towards her, people are climbing on them) comic about the goddess of death Izanami and the god of life Izanagi. In our game, they have an agreement that there should be a balance between the dead and the living. Continues the first panel. It says: - And this… is cashback. then there is an inscription with a drawn bank card: 5% cashback on all souls. Hurry up and sign up before humanity’s downfall, and get free card maintenance forever!

Hey everyone! We're battling some crazy sickness over here, but work on Aliri NEVER stops! 🤧 Hope you're all doing awesome! ❤️

We're SO close to finishing the forest background in Aliri! 🌳 Just a few more details and it's gonna be fire 🔥 #gamedev #metroidvania #art

We're gonna introduce animations in JSON format into the game, instead of doing it frame by frame. The artists and animators are crossing their fingers so that we can do it, and their life will become so much easier, lol :D

In the "Kojiki", there's this cool legend. Susanoo, the storm god, upset Amaterasu, the sun goddess,so bad she hid in a cave, causing eternal night.The gods threw a party with a huge bird perch and a thousand birds singing to lure her out #JapaneseCulture #Mythology #japanesmyth

The origin of Torii? Some say they're from the 8th century, inspired by China and India. Others think they started as four posts with a rope, with two taller ones for priests. Sounds like a Torii, huh? #Mythology #Torii #japaneseculture

You'll find these gates in different places: near temples, mountain bases, huge rocks, waterfalls, beautiful coastlines, even in lakes! Torii in wild places are called "floating gates". Nature here is so stunning, it feels like the gods live there #Shinto #Torii #japaneseculture
