kickstarter.com/projects/119… Aethyr - Kickstarter is now live! Runs until 12:00EST Dec. 19! Thank you for all your support! RT and sharing to any Action Adventure RPG lovers is very much appreciated! #Aethyr #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #RPG #indiegame #16bit

Check out this cool little chess-ish game made by my good ol' buddy :)

If you play #mtg this may look very familiar. I am extremely fond of the way Magic allows players to express themselves through the game's mechanics, and it's something I want Aethyr to also foster.

Aethyr has countless possible character builds to create, so it was helpful for me to chart the ways I wanted players to express themselves. I settled on these 3 vectors of interactivity: "Aggression", "Control", and "Mobility". #gamedev #gamedesign #pixelart

The mechanical contraptions of The Archives create some challenging obstacles to traverse. #ScreenshotSaturday #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

Thanks! :)

Concentrated arcane energy powers the constructs that guard The Archives. When defeated this energy causes them to violently explode! #ScreenshotSaturday #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

Deep within the sewers hides an abandoned temple complex. #ScreenshotSaturday #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

Yep! If you look closely as the video fades to black you can see the pack leader run into the corner of the wall and get stunned :)

Swinen are fiercely territorial, and while smaller packmates merely lunge, pack leaders charge at their foes with piercing tusks. #ScreenshotSaturday #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

These gaunt shadows are said to be the remnants of ancient watchers. Now, they can be found haunting places of sorrow. #ScreenshotSaturday #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

That's extremely high praise when it's coming from you! Thank you🙏

Thank you :) Music was by @ChillMichi, and I painstakingly made all the sound effects in LabChirp by @LabbedNet

Thanks :) This is my own engine built on top of Monogame. It's actually a simple effect. All the lights are drawn additively as circular gradients, and then the Value (The V in HSV) is posterized to give it the segmented look. Big words, (hopefully) easy concept :)

An adventurer skilled in Stealth stays unseen while they calculate elaborate executions. They emerge to inflict deadly sneak attacks, and then quickly return to the shadows. #ScreenshotSaturday #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

An aura so swole that surrounding objects just combust B)
