Imbuing Copper Knot with Dream-Softening creates "Loosened Mercy". I like how imbuing can change the feeling of an object in The Totemist, not just make it stronger. Wishlist and play the demo on Steam. store.steampowered.com/app/4545470 #TheTotemist #Indiegame #Cozygame #Indiedev #pixelart

Crafting the Copper Knot. The Blacksmith's request is a good example of the kind of practical-but-uncanny problems I want this game built around. Wishlist on Steam. store.steampowered.com/app/4545470?... #TheTotemist #IndieGame #cozygame #pixelart

I had a great time watching sarahtonin play The Totemist, she made it so fun! Like many other indie devs out there, I've been so lucky to have amazing streamers like her put my game in front of their communities. Go follow her on twitch: www.twitch.tv/sarahtoninse... #indiedev #cozygame #gamedev

The knife marks come back sharp as new, and whatever was lingering near the doorframe gets pared away clean. Fresh-Cut Ward is all about leaving nothing behind except the ward and its purpose. Demo on Steam now. store.steampowered.com/app/4545470 #indiegame #occultgame #witchygame

Crafting the Whittler's Ward. I want the first objects in *The Totemist* to feel simple, handmade, and immediately useful. Demo on Steam now. #indiegame #cozygame

The Totemist is officially a part of the Weird Days: Job Simulator Festival August 24-31 on Steam! Can't express how excited I am to have my indie game be a small part of something so awesome. Thank you @weirddaysevent.bsky.social #indiegame #cozygame #indiedev #supportindies

I reckon there's enough room in this town for all of us

An early prototype of a project I've been working on when I'm not locked into The Totemist. The idea is you make grimoires. There's also a "business office" that didn't make the clip where you can take commissions and build grimoire to a specific order. Thoughts? #indiedev #cozygames #books

It's #ScreenshotSaturday! All my fellow #indiedev #gamedev I want to see your #indiegame! Players, Wishlist your favorite ones! I'll kick it off with The Totemist store.steampowered.com/app/4545470/... Like and repost this post to help spread the word! 🐸✌️

Toying around with my game trailer to make to more clear that this is a story driven shop sim game. Is it too long? Is it clear that its a text heavy game? Thoughts? For those interested you can play the demo: store.steampowered.com/app/4545470?... #indiedev #cozygame #indiegame #storydriven

The Totemist now officially has a category on twitch! No more defaulting to games & demos for this frog. 🐸 #twitch #cozygame #indiegame

600 Wishlists! 🎉 So happy to have hit this milestone and I know we can get to 1k before the Fall next fest with a little bit of caring and sharing. Thanks to everyone who has stuck with me so far sincerely. 🐸✌️ #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #cozygame #supportindies

Meet "Tithe" a spirit of greed who persist in your workshop like a stain. Players are frustrated when they forget to buy binding kits in the storefront, they can't craft the next day. Tithe punishes players for their forgetfulness without softlocking them. What do you think? #indiedev #cozygame

Breaking news!! Indie dev caught in peanut scandal, shocking details in the video below. #indiedev #indiegame #cozygame #crow #hiddengems

I had the extreme pleasure of working with @clockworktony.bsky.social who made me some amazing capsule art for The Totemist! store.steampowered.com/app/4545470 This is my first Steam game and I can't express how happy I am with their work, go follow Clockwork Tony! #indiegame #art #gamedev

In The Totemist, you run an occult shop, cleanse, craft, and sell items. You also get a random daily omen to choose from that will shape your day. Wishlist & Play the demo: store.steampowered.com/app/4545470/... #pixelart #indiegame

Calling this The Skull of Endless Ember (for now). Not from the The Totemist, but for a different game I've been prototyping. What do you think? #pixelart #fire #skull #gamedev #gameart

Hey I know this is an older post but have any room for a indie game dev and pixel artist? Resume: I made these frog hats 🐸🎩

I added a new hat for Tully in The Totemist. Well, hat is kind of subjective in this context. It's basically a uprooted sprout planted on his head. He's very proud. #pixelart #aseprite #gamedev #frog #indiegame

I just did a playtest of Meander made by @matchstick345.bsky.social They really have something special cooking and I think you should follow their progress! I tried my best to recreate my capsule art in Meander... I think I need practice. Also froggy. #indiedev #indiegame #cozygame #gamedev

Been quiet lately. Burnout’s been creeping in, and the dev cycle has been heavier than usual. But I’m still pushing. I’ve put hundreds of hours into this world, and I’m not done yet, just taking a moment to breathe before diving back in. #indiedev #indiegame #cozygaming #witchcraft
