Indie dev. I make small atmospheric games. I like cats, dogs, frogs. Not a fan of bogs. Wishlist 'The Totemist' on steam: The Totemist is an Occult Crafting & Shop Keeping game with a carefully crafted narrative.
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
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
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

Frog wears hats. Crow wears bling. Nobody has eyes. What game is it? 🐦⬛ store.steampowered.com/app/4545470 🐸 #wishlistwednesday #indiegame #cozymystery #goblincore
Holy smokes! I said I needed 2 wishlist, ya'll went crazy!! Nearly 120 wishlist in less than 2 days? My biggest spike before this was 12 wishlists. Thank you all so much I was on the edge of giving up on talking about this project. 😭 #indiedev #indiegame #cozygame
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
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 🐸🎩
Summer next fest is right around the corner and my game... is not in this one actually, it's in the next-next fest. But you can still check it out because it has a demo! store.steampowered.com/app/4545470 #nextfest #indiegame #cozygame #witchcraft #pixelart
Focus on the swing, back and forth... deeper and deeper... you want to Wishlist The Totemist and play the demo on Steam... You want to support indie game devs... store.steampowered.com/app/4545470 #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #cozygames #witchcraft
Hey #PitchYaGame, Do you want to craft questionable occult items? Do you want to buy hats for a frog? Do you want to see a crow wearing a heavy gold chain? Check out The Totemist, demo is live now: store.steampowered.com/app/4545470/... #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart
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
The Totemist Demo is out on June 1st! Mark the date, or make it easy by wishlisting and following the game on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4545470 This crafting shop sim game is for all #witchcraft and #occult lovers! #pixelart #occultsky #witchsky
The Totemist was never supposed to be made. The original prototype was for a crystal shop sim. As I researched into crystals, the occult theme hit me & I ran with it. Wishlist The Totemist & Play the Demo June 1st! store.steampowered.com/app/4545470 #gamedev #cozygames #indiegames #pixelart
Marrow like to borrow items and add them to her collection. I think she's stylish. 🐦⬛💅 What do you think? P.S. You can Wishlist The Totemist on Steam and play the demo on June 1st! 🐦⬛ store.steampowered.com/app/4545470/ 🐦⬛ #pixelart #indiedev #indiegames #cozygames #crow
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
