Blightened

@PlayReignfall Shhh. Don't tell anyone I showed you this. This is the first time ever showing this to anyone.

Hey indie developers, share a snippet of your game's UI design! This is the shop design for my roguelite dark fantasy deckbuilder game🃏⚔️ #indiegame

HMMM, should I just shadow drop this? Blightened: Relic Keeper #Blightened

For fun

Working name: “???“ The current working name just doesn’t feel right yet. #Blightened #metroidvania #IndieGameDev #CreatureDesign #MonsterDesign #DarkFantasy

@GreyNovGames It's definitely a zoo in steam land. Are you releasing on xbox?

Now I understand why roughly 80% of developers who launch a game on Steam never release another game on Steam.

How I block out biome layouts for Blightened. Use the Blightened Map Tool (BMT): chant-hazel-11184220.figma.site This is a custom internal tool created to lay out the entire game map by sections and easy export and update. Each painted square created is equal to 10 meters in Unity. I have no documentation but feel free to ask in the comments. You can save out to SVG and also save a .json for your editor to load it back in. Make sure you save and keep your files organized because if the browser gets closed or refreshed, you will lose your work. The way I use it may not be the way you will. #indiedev #indiegame #blightened @indieDevC @clemmygames

@clemmygames Hey

@theblightened Hi

@BLVCKLIGHTai Awesome bro.

Coming soon…

"Some paths are easy. Some paths are hard. I’ve been preparing for both.”

Bad symbiote. No more leaks and no more phone time for you!

Symbiote leak. You don’t swing it. You don’t command it. The Blight takes form. #Blightened #IndieGame #Metroidvania

The Symbiote isn’t always the right choice. It’s a tool for pushing deeper when you’re willing to trade control for power.

The Blight Symbiote is beginning to surface. Will you control it or let it control you? This form is not a simple power-up. It changes how you move, how you fight, and how you think about risk and reward. It draws directly from the Blight you carry your self, turning corruption into something volatile and dangerous. What you’re seeing here is an early glimpse. Can't give away all the details because that's no fun. Just a hint of what happens when Val’gor gives in. More soon. #blightened #indiegame #metroidvania #action @Steam @ID_Xbox

@JustBern64 Using a tool to help shape a vision is not equal to using a single prompt to create a randomized image. That’s the misunderstanding of most anti AI sentiment. It’s not one and done and you’re an artist. There is work involved as there should be for any created art.

Reply or quote if you are anti-AI, anti-generative-AI, and pro human-made art.

People can have an opinion. I’ll keep enjoying what I’m doing. I’m 30 years in the game industry and finally Indie developers can express themselves again. I don’t see how people can hate on that. Makes no sense to be mad unless your big tech who see that they now have competitors that don’t have to spend millions of dollars. I support Indies more than ever. I went back to my roots and will make something that I am proud of. I refuse to blindly chase a paycheck just to get laid off every 2 years.

Wtf does that even mean anymore. This anti-AI outrage has crossed into straight-up intellectual laziness., for real. If you’re calling out bad work, sure. Absolutely. Especially people hiding behind “the tools are limited” to excuse low skill and fake craftsmanship. That’s bullshit. I know a few of them too. But if you’re attacking game devs using AI to reduce costs, improve render quality, and stretch story, scope, and ambition further than ever before, then miss me with that moral cosplay. That’s just enforcing old-world scarcity thinking so you can feel virtuous about stagnation. No thanks MF. The real divide isn’t AI vs humans. It’s curious, intelligent people pushing boundaries vs people clinging to comfortable, predictable norms because learning scares them OR they are literally that F’ing lazy. That’s how you get IDIOCRACY. PC Gamer is wildly out of touch here. No computer is “making games.” Artists are, so they are obviously employed. In fact, more artists are getting work than ever before BECAUSE OF AI. Using their brains, taste, experience, and intent. AI doesn’t replace authorship, it extends it, and gives that person superhuman abilities. The hate is so woke now it’s like listening to whiny baby complain they aren’t getting their way. Gatekeeping of fantastical proportions. And the funniest part? None of these haters get a vote anyway. No one cares what they think. Why would we or anyone else?! Creation isn’t a democracy. Audiences decide and have always decided and if they want then you better watch out cause that hate can be turned onto you and for more legitimate reasons. Haters don’t pay bills, fans do. 👌😉
