This waterfall is just a small piece of the world we’re building 🌍 Follow for devlogs, tactical combat clips, and story teases from the fantasy realm of 𝑴𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒇𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑫𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒚 𝑶𝒏𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆! We post updates weekly — you’ll want to be here when it launches 👇 #pixelart…

👣 Not all tiles are created equal… We’re now checking normal slope angles to decide if a player can stand on a surface. ✅ Green = walkable (≤ 30°) ❌ Red = nope! Too steep. Bonus: this works for props too—so jumping on tables 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘴 😎 #pixelart #gamedev…

⚔️ High-level doesn’t mean untouchable Even the strongest enemies shouldn't feel unfair. 💡 Player 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭 must still matter 🧠 Mid-levels should stand a chance 🎯 Tactics & prediction should win fights Trying to make high-level combat 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 like this... ...but stay…

🧙‍♂️ Magus class animation teaser! I dropped it directly into 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 Chrono Trigger scene 😈 Couldn’t resist paying tribute before the full FX system is ready! 🔮 Classic dark caster vibes 🌀 Floaty motion + silhouette pop 🧵 Built for future spell layering Childhood dream…

This!!! 💖 The colors! 🎨 The coziness! 🏡 The clouds!! ☁️☁️☁️ Arena’s floating city will be 𝘸𝘢𝘺 more chaotic 🏛️⚔️🧙… but this captures the ✨magic ✨ I’m chasing. Clouds are my final boss 😭 but we’ll get there!! #MDO #pixelart #indiedev

What you're seeing here is the start of a biome transition! New palettes. New terrain logic. New mood entirely. It’s wild how a few mossy tiles can shift the feel of a whole region - that’s the beauty of pixelart! Follow for more indiedev building blocks! 👇

🫧 This is one of my favorite polish details so far! YES, you can walk 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 the waterfall. And yes, the water distorts your sprite as you stand behind it 😄 🌿 What would you hide back here? #pixelart #indiedev #shaderdesign #madewithgamemaker

🏜️ Stress test success! Still a few quirks, but everything 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘵 good. ✅ New HUD elements survived ✅ Skill bar & UI hotkeys mapped ✅ Player now properly sinks waist-deep into desert sand 😆 One step closer to real terrain traversal! #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev

🪞 The Mirror Realm doesn’t obey physics. 🌀 Portals twist gravity 🧠 Paths test your perception 👁️ Sometimes… you meet yourself This place reflects what you hide. What would your mirror self look like? #MDO #indiegame #fantasyworldbuilding #madewithaseprite

"𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘴 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵." – 𝘜𝘯𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘯 I think about this every time I polish a sprite for the 10th time 😅 Perfection doesn’t ship. 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴 does. Let’s keep moving! ❤️‍🔥 #indiedev #pixelart #discipline

🧠 From concept to reality One of the first diagrams I ever made for this game looked like this! 📐 Elevation built in 16px layers 🌀 Structures designed for over/under flow 💡 Visual logic before code logic Curious if anyone else draws out their game design/ideas! 😺 #indiedev…

Some places don’t want to be found. 🌿 A forest alive with motion. 👣 A path hidden behind the waterfall. 💦 Small details, like the player distorting through water, make this world feel real! Follow for more handcrafted pixelart and dev 🪄

🏛️ Skyborn legacy One of the only cities that chose ascension over shelter. 🪨 Built on stone 🌀 Fueled by belief ☁️ Now floats above the world I think this might be one of my favorite places in Aerenia so far! #pixelart #indiedev #gameart #fantasyworldbuilding

🏋️I feel like Rock Lee when he dropped the weights 😤❤️‍🔥 Left⬅️ how I was drawing literally 10 minutes ago - stiff, jittery, exhausting. Right➡️ after realizing I could just rotate my laptop, rest my hand on the screen, and draw smooth as butter 🤗 Massive breakthrough!😭…

👀 Watch close! In MDO, you can avoid attacks by moving out of the tile before it lands 🏃💨 Movement is typically faster than attacks, giving you that 𝘣𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘪𝘵 feel 🔥 💃 Feels like a dance with danger! 🧠 What's your fav 𝘣𝘪𝘨-𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘥𝘰𝘥𝘨𝘦 moment in…

📣 Shoutout to the brave few rocks in red who made it into the game. 🪨 Their cousins? Still chilling in the art file, waiting for their moment. I’ve only scratched the surface of this rocky mountain — but hey, we climbin’! 🧗‍♂️✨ #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #madewithaseprite

Still can’t get over how 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘭𝘺 the snow globs in this look 🫠❄️ Now I gotta figure out how to get that kind of snow caking effect in our tundra biome. Like… big delicious scoops of ice cream on everything 🍦 #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

🌨️ Starting early passes on some tundra tiles for a high-altitude biome! Still tweaking texture and snow placement ❄️ ⬅️➡️ Which direction do you like better—left or right? (Or neither? ☠️) Would love any feedback! #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #madewithaseprite #wip

⛰️ Deep in the cliffs above the forest, crumbling stone still clings to the rock face. Whatever was here... it wasn’t meant to be found easily. 🗝️ If you stumbled on these ruins, what kind of relic would you hope to find? #indiedev #gamedev #conceptart #worldbuilding

🛡️ In Aerenia, armor isn’t clunky—it’s crafted. Magic-conductive alloys hold perma enchants, so some wear a gorget… others just rock bracers, shoulderplates, or greaves. ❌Goodbye mandatory clunk ✅Hello custom drip 😎 🧵What enchanted armor piece would you wear? #indiedev…
