For The Spirit, I handwrite the foundation for each scene - once the criteria are met, the game's scripts take over and adapt the text to match the biome, weather, your characters' personalities, choices, goals, skills, looks, items, mood, health, and relationships. 🌀

Trait of the Week: Optimistic

That feeling when you spend weeks polishing your demo, and your tester comes back saying they spent hours playing today - and didn't find a single bug. 😌

#gamedev #indiedev

I love it when a game has content that only a tiny fraction of players find, so the demo will be full of these little secrets!

Poor Ed - he probably has the "Chronic Complainer" tag...🥱

Trait of the Week: All In

These past few weeks there haven't been any updates, but that's because I set everything else aside to focus on finalizing the content for the upcoming free demo.

I'll be able to share more about that with you soon! 😏

Trait of the Week: Picky

Ferris the wizard won't touch stew unless the carrots are diced evenly, refuses to sleep in any inn without goose-feather pillows, and once lectured a dragon for overcooking its own villagers.

Trait of the Week: Exaggerator

"When the good knight faced the undead horde, the clash of his blade was like a thousand temple bells ringing at once, each note heard across the entire kingdom!"

Trait of the Week: Hoarder

Meet Lord Ragnar. His back may be screaming in pain, but he couldn't care less - he's too busy doing what he loves: collecting every bucket, bottle, spoon, pillow, and bone he finds along his journey!

"How many portrait variations do you need?"

"Yes."

Working with Boros Krisztina was such a pleasure! She did a couple of very cool lore-heavy illustrations for the Spirit (and she is on another level as you can tell)!🎨

What do you think is happening in this picture? 👀

The Spirit will be featured at the PlayB3yond - Indie Game Fest 2025 (August 25-31)!

Thankful for the chance - let’s come together and celebrate indie games!

#PlayB3yond2025

Although a big update is coming soon, I just can’t wait—so here’s a sneak peek at the new art style coming to the Spirit! ✏️
Every icon and picture is drawn by hand—it's a lot of work, but incredibly rewarding.
