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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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?
