When an EDM Producer makes a video game (sound on! 🔊)

One of my biggest motivations for making Warding Witches is actually that I've always wanted to make a soundtrack for a shmup!

Paired with being an EDM-head... look for urself

A slate coaster with Warding Witches and Sonorode logo engraved (made by NicoAICP), next to a Döner Cawbab pouch with two buttons with Cawthorne's OC. Both were given to me as goodies / presents at MAG-C Convention.

Two amazing fans came to my booth at MAG-C and gave me handmade presents 😭(they've played before at other conventions!)

@habk.de @cawthorne.bsky.social

This is why I make games. Thank you so much 💜

(the coaster is now my designated desk coaster)

Warding Witches was at MAG-C Convention in Erfurt, Germany!

This time @yozoracosplay.bsky.social grazed the booth in a lovely cosplay of main Character Willa ✨

Seeing your character come to life like this is unreal. Thank you Yuka, drop her some love on socials!❤️

Warding Witches will be exhibited at POLARIS convention in Hamburg, 10th to 12th of October.

By now, you know the drill. Hamburg's gonna be warded up. Catch #wardingwitches at POLARIS convention (@polarisconvention.bsky.social) and try out stage 1 in the brand new CURSED difficulty, as well as 2-Player coop!

Come by and say hi ✨🧹

75% of 2025 is about to be over, and looking back I've had some amazing opportunities to exhibit #wardingwitches. One of them was LEVEL UP Salzburg, truly unforgettable and such a great event, Austria got game ngl

Seeing people react positively to playing a #shmup always puts a smile on my face 🥰

Courtesy of the arcade gamesroom at Connichi (thanks @prinnytonic.munichfgc.de 🙏 ) #wardingwitches is going to be part of the arcade games lineup among shmups, rhythm & fighting games!

If you happen to be at Connichi, come check out the brand new 2-player coop mode with a friend (or a stranger).

Went to the local Pizza Playtest again yesterday to validate a new feature.

Local Co-op lives! ✨🧹

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the booth at LEVEL UP Salzburg! First time #WardingWitches was on tour abroad and it was a bullet hell blast :)

The most rewarding aspect about these conventions is the emotions of the players, especially when they manage to beat the demo.

Blessed 🫶✨🧹

Level Up - Salzburg, Austria - 28th to 29th of June 2025

Stickers, a Pin and a tote bag - Warding Witches Merchandise.

If anyone's near or in Salzburg this weekend - come play #WardingWitches in the indie games area of LEVEL UP Gaming Festival in Austria! Proud to be exhibiting there.

Possibly the last chance to earn a stylish tote bag, and the first time you can cop Talia stickers!

Doors are open! Already lots of players and onlookers ☺️🎉✨🧹

We have a really awesome event called Pizza Playtest in Munich, where devs can show off and playtest their games, give/get feedback etc.

Played some very promising and amazing games, had good talks and also had Talia tested for the first time. Good times!

Made a timelapse of the drawing process of Warding Witches' key artwork! See Willa and Talia come to life and color on YT:

Trying to implement Talia as a playable character until the next gaming convention where you can play Warding Witches (LFG-con 2025 in Hof)!

If there's time, I'll also make a chibi sticker of her.

Shoot 'em ups look best in motion! Threw together a little prototype trailer of #wardingwitches to show around!

Peep it if you want to see it in action ✨🧹

On Sunday, a lady came by the booth curiously looking at the gameplay of #wardingwitches

She liked the bag but wasn't confident in playing it so she had her son beat stage 1 for her

We cheered him on and taunted him when he died (he did win the bag on his last try, last live!)

Wholesome moments

#gamedev #indie #wardingwitches

First day exhibiting at @ggbavaria.bsky.social went pretty well despite tech hiccups. Loved the good vibes and all the surprisingly positive resonance to #wardingwitches, it made my heart swell ❤️.

@thebrokenbird.bsky.social did the very first clear and earned a swaggy tote bag. (1/2 🧵)

Just played #wardingwitches at the @sonorode.com booth at @ggbavaria.bsky.social.

It was literally a blast. I hope nobody will beat my highscore over the weekend :)

gamedevving solo, I believe in a highly iterative workflow, meaning most of my art assets currently are mock ups.
working on unmocking them and making things pretty for the convention - finished most of the vulture midboss today!
