Marika holding a sword and going "Yaaahh!" while swinging it... with a cool 90's geometry shape thingy in the background.
Second of four concept illustrations. I still like this art direction for "The Electric Renaissance"'s sequel.
Idosra 1's art was based off of 3D models I made back in 2016. The new illustrations feel intentionally 2D. Plus it's nice to learn a new style.

Thank you ๐
Manga style Marika, holding a sword and making a victory "yah!"
Manga style Marika! Currently planning "Idosra 2" (unnamed sequel to "The Electric Renaissance"). Thinking that borrowing some tropes from the magical girl genre may add some interesting opportunities to expand on my favorite parts of the original game.

Audio Design Music
Best in Genre Action/Adventure
I was just notified that Idosra: The Electric Renaissance received two nominations from Nevermore Niche:
"Best in Genre Action/Adventure" and, for @musicvsartstuff.bsky.social 's compositions, "Audio Design Music"!

DOS-like setup menu
New launcher/setup screen for the (yet-to-be-named) sequel to Idosra: The Electric Renaissance.
You can't spell "Idosra" without "DOS".
One of the key aspects of Idosra's look is lighting. So for the sequel, I'm working on a proper shader for dynamic lights (Electric Renaissance renders in software only). It's a bit rough, but coming along.

Boombox with notes
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.

Everyone I talk to about the game tells me how much they like the music ๐ต
Sorry for your loss. I always liked seeing pictures of Cubase. I had a voidcat who passed away a few years ago. He has a secret memorial room hidden in my game.
Idosra: The Electric Renaissance Version 1.1.4 Full Release! Marika shown dodging mana fire
Idosra: The Electric Renaissance is now available on Steam! Explore the distant future in a world that is on the verge of rediscovering electricity in an indie title that combines sidescrolling action with RPG mechanics.

#indiegames #indiegamedev #steamdeck
Idosra releases November 4. Image includes description of the game. Marika finds herself in the crossfire between two opposing bodies. On one side is a government that is taking advantage of a recently rediscovered force of nature: electricity. On the other side is a faction that wants to seize control of this knowledge for itself. Marika has been tagged as an enemy. Does the empire suspect Marika has a power that even she herself isn't aware of? Or, is this a terrible mistake-the fault of the recently installed "eyes" and other newfound devices the empire has unearthed, but does not understand? Step carefully! Marika's success lies in her ability to learn how the new technology works-and the role it plays in the Vallas Empire's plans. Idosra: The Electric Renaissance combines a 2D sidescroller with RPG mechanics to deliver players a story-driven experience that rewards careful exploration, quick thinking, and fast reflexes. www.idosra.com

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?
