#indiedev like us need to make the most of affordable technology as it becomes available, amirite? #ai #gamedev #art

Eyyyy, thank you very much! Thankfully Dan is a great designer as well as artist haha

Dan's making enemies! Here is Split Head in both concept and final, a different version of the Exorcist Bed enemy. He's all turret, no filler, 100% body horror. What do you think? #indiegames #bodyhorror

OK so Dan lost a file - er, *iterated on this enemy and made him better! When attacked he deploys his human shield and can't be hurt from the front. And now his brain is exposed at the back so you have a reason to roll behind him to attack. Cool new gameplay options! #indiegamedev #indiegames

New room! This is the Forest of Nightmares, inspired by a classic video game which was a leader in gore. Can you guess which game?! #indiegames #retrogames

No idea how this happened (probably an AI hallucination built into web content), but our studio has been misattributed to this game. Anyone who knows Ember would know this isn’t our game though, haha. So weird

Oof, has it been a fortnight already?! SAGE 2026 was epic: thanks so much to the SAFC for putting on another great show. As always we love showing folks the game, and it was great to be a part of this amazing gamedev community in South Australia. Until next time! @safc #indiegames #indiegamedev

Huge news! End of Ember has been optioned for development into an animated TV series, in partnership with Cosmic Scream. (Pssst... Netflix!) See our press release for more details.

Those 2016 throwbacks are so last week! Here is an original 'devil' concept Dan drew in Grade 5 (circa 1998), and a boss concept he did just recently. Satan, now known as Gary, is in an office politics nightmare after a hostile takeover from Heaven. Performance Review ahoy! #indiegames #indiegamedev

SAGE: South Australian Games Exhibition 2026 SAGE: SA Game Exhibition is South Australia's biggest and most exciting event for video game developers, fans, players and enthusiasts - and everyone in between! Presented by the South Australian…

We are SO excited to exhibit at SAGE next week. If you're in Adelaide, come along to check out our booth, and all the other amazing games being made in SA right now. It's a very exciting time to be an indie in this industry right now: come celebrate! Thanks @safc #indiegames # indiegamedev #sagames

True! This makes me feel much better, haha

Amazing!

I remember seeing you many years ago talking about your Minecraft project, and there was Hovergarden, it was such a good time. Very sad news

Hehe yeah it’s pretty bad

In an OUTRAGEOUS and SHOCKING act of pure PLAGIARISM, this rad comic totally STOLE OUR IDEA of having a possessed girl strapped to a bed. BOYCOTT! #indiegames #indiedev #comics #art #theexorcist

Excellent news!

That’s actually great!

Art update! Here is Timbsbly, a new enemy type. He will replace the boring old floating heads in the game, which was the first enemy Dan ever made. It is a modular enemy type, so he can take various forms with different looks (shown, along with the gore layers), behaviours and attacks. Cute/weird!

New year, new enemy! Meet the Spider Birther: it spawns little spiders every time you damage it. This animation test shows the procedural animation that Dan is using for spider enemies. Creepy! #indiegames #indiegamedev #horrorgames

New build, free on Steam Playtest! New feature? SWAPPABLE WEAPONS, baby! Instead of having just items, Ember can now carry up to two weapons with unique projectile types, that then synergises with items and upgrades to make the crazy kinds of build the game is getting known for. #indiegames

Ok folks this is not a drill: look at that schedule for Sunday! Ember played in a chainsaw?!?!? Cannot wait for this

Yessssss! We can’t wait too!

Super cute and super gory ✔️

Game 👉 End of Ember

The SA-made games you’ll be playing next SA’s developers are making games that are bold, diverse and globally recognised — and with new investment and international attention,

A little bit of coverage is always nice, but sharing a hometown with #Silksong means it’s extra nice to be mentioned next to them. Big shoes to fill hahaaaaaa thepostsa.au/industry/202...

Exactly - Split Fiction, case in point

Exactly!
